So what you're saying is that we've found absolutely everything but water.

But at least we have magma! Kind of. Sorta.

I should mention I'm still watching this, just haven't had the time to dedicate to actually doing a turn.

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 9th Slate, 111***
Nogoodgames started building some crazy contraption.. we'll see what that is...

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 13th Slate, 111***
It's a bucket...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


***The Diary of Crocatowa - 17th Slate, 111***
So many people trying to give water to the thirsty.. with no water to give... C'mon miners, find that dang river!

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 24th Slate, 111***
Migrants. More Mouths to feed and no place for them to sleep. Oh, and a dungeon master, whatever that is.
3 of them were professional wrestlers. They wanted me to build some sort of arena? Instead I just told them to recruit some other guys and make a dedicated military squad.

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 1st Felsite, 111***
One of the new recruits didn't handle training well...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


AND HE JUST KILLED NCOMMANDER II!!! T_T
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

He was just laying in his bed... Never saw it coming...

My rule is going swimmingly...

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 4th Felsite, 111***
Well, the recruit killed Shem, the dog that got me into this mess...
That makes 2 casualties in regards to this insane man...
Then the military showed up and struck him down. Poor guy...

I'll have to just keep tally of the deaths: 5?

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 12th Felsite, 111***
We ran out of logs... No more bins or barrels for now

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 25th Felsite, 111***
6?

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 1st Hematite, 111***
Summer Sun!
Time to stay inside.

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 12th Hematite, 111***
Human Traders!
Maybe they'll have logs, and food, and other useful things

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 4th Malachite, 111***
More Migrants! We're at over 80 people... I need to get more rooms made...

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 5th Malachite, 111***
At some point we elected Banjo as mayor. Not that the title means much, he just decided today that we can't export bronze things and people are listening to him *shrug*

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 10th Malachite, 111***
A fish cleaner was taken by a mood... Last person made a fancy bucket, I sure hope this turns out better... or that we have everything they need...

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 16th Malachite, 111***
The new rooms are coming along fine, as is a mini project I started...
The uhh... fish cleaner... He wants shells... and we don't have any... so I'm going to just quietly lock the door to his workshop until either we have shells for him or he umm... stops making noise for a few days...

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 21st Malachite, 111***
Food stores are starting to level out. I have meals being prepped and people are starting to sound a bit happier!
Even with the skeletal marmots outside

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 16th Galena, 111***
Life has been pretty uneventful. Things are just moving along, minus the skeletal giant eagle who keeps showing up

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 19th Galena, 111***
OH GOD ONE IS INSIDE!!!
We've lost two recruits and a horse so far...

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 21st Galena, 111***
And now a giant leopard we apparently had...
Basically nothing can get done at the moment

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 23rd Galena, 111***
Well... two more horses, a war dog, and lots of wounds later, we finally took it down

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 25th Galena, 111***
The fish cleaner went insane... I can hear the screaming... It's starting to keep people up at night

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 1st Limestone, 111***
It's finally Autumn! My favorite time of the year!

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 6th Limestone, 111***
Another D*** Eagle...
And we've lost another recruit... I am worried...

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 8th Limestone, 111***
Finally killed it... but a herd of skeletal mountain goats is causing problems outdoors... It really never ends in this place and the alcohol is slowly becoming not enough to help me sleep at night...

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 12th Limestone, 111***
A Caravan!
But we have nothing to trade... I was not paying attention to our trade goods production... crap...

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 18th Limestone, 111***
Ambush!!!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


***The Diary of Crocatowa - 19th Limestone, 111***
WE FOUND THE RIVER!!!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


And it's filled with skeletal snake and frog people... Why are there so many skeletons here? Why couldn't it be friendly fairies or something?!

And I have to build a well or something to make this safe, ugh

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 27th Limestone, 111***
The ambush fell on our traps. So that was good thinking from a previous overseer
I still haven't figured out the best solution for the well/river. It's 6 layers down from everything else and kinda inconvenient... Pumps would be ideal but it isn't really safe to build water wheels with the skeletal folks around... ugh

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 4th Sandstone, 111***
No migrants this year... I guess all the chatter of skeletons and death got back to the home lands...
But there was a baby born! Dumbasses... having kids in a death trap like this place...

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 12th Sandstone, 111***
A goblin snatcher showed up! And was promptly mowed down by the caravan leaving.

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 27th Sandstone, 111***
So... We have a barracks/archery range/armory now. With a kennels to train animals, as well as two dedicated squads!
We'll see how things go with training and whether or not the time and efforts pay off!

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 28th Sandstone, 111***
The fish cleaner finally stopped screaming... Time to go drag out the body

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 12th Timber, 111***
A wood burner is posessed... let's see how this one goes... I swear, these guys and their mood swings...

Dammit he wants shells again... looks like I'm locking this door too....

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 25th Timber, 111***
Another Ambush!! Crap!!!

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 25th Timber, 111***
We lost a bowyer, Meng, outside to the ambush....

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 1st Moonstone, 111***
I usually enjoy winter... this year it's amidst battle...

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 3rd Moonstone, 111***
Another woodburner died... Dumb Goblins...

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 8th Moonstone, 111***
And a wood cutter... *sigh*

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 18th Moonstone, 111***
And a tanner...

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 25th Moonstone, 111***
And another eagle... Struck down a ranger...

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 3rd Opal, 111***
The woodburner went insane... *sigh*

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 10th Opal, 111***
Nothing really to report... The year is coming to a close and I think things are semi-stable

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 21st Opal, 111***
Eagle got in again... Lost a wrestler and a dog taking it on... I don't know how to keep them out of here!!!

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 18th Obsidian, 111***
My time as ruler is coming to an end...
At our peak, we had 85 strong dwarves, but today we lost a wounded to thirst, moments before we finally finished the well near the river... Figures...

I hear that there are snail men outside. I might go out and meet one of them. Maybe they will be gracious enough to kill me.

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 21st Obsidian, 111***
Oh, I apparently missed the slaying of some merchants, because we now have a ton of stuff. Huh.
That may explain why I wasn't notified of their leaving last time. 

***The Diary of Crocatowa - 1st Granite, 111***
I decided to drop the staff of leadership into the well.


Here are the current standings:

Okay, this fort is making me quite badass

1. Enthusiastic about "Death and Emptiness!", arrived to a fortress as 'Deathseeker'
2. Due to reorganization in Slate 108, got handled farmer duties
3. Along with NCommander, intimidated an army into surrendering. With fists
4. Finally recognized fit for proper military duties
5. Got into fight with named skeletal eagle and killed it with some distraction from others
6. Rested dehydrated in the dwarven healthcare along with comrades
7. Outlived five recruits and commander in one year. Dehydration? Walked it off
8. Got named best farmer of the year

Wow. I seem to be a capable, lucky and death-avoidant tough bastard

I am still shocked that with all of the deaths there wasn't a tantrum spiral...
I feel like we were dancing on a razor blade there...

Oh, and people can finally stop dying of dehydration, lol

Nice update! Downloaded the save to check on my dwarf.
Hmm...
Banjo, the mayor, nice good job! Likes magnetite, bismuth bronze, pale pink, cats, tigers.. all sounds good so far.

Friends with Taupe V, nogoodgames, sarrak, ncommander, dolosusdoleus, and ast regugosh.   Good company.

Very strong, agile, extremely tough.  good for a mayor.

High master grower, proficient herbalist, novice brewer.  A farmer-mayor, very cool.

x, X, and XX for all my clothing except for three socks and trousers, very unsightly.

Well I'm impressed so far! As mayor I demand.... get some new clothes on these mostly naked or raggedly clothed dwarfs!

Pretty sure 40d dwarves will not put on new clothes.  They just wear the old stuff till it falls off and never replace it.

Is your plan really to flush water into hell, and have the CARP marines fight them without threat of flame or disease?  If so, you are awesome, and one of the greatest DF military visionaries I've seen yet ( not that I've seen that many, or any, for that matter )

You're thinking of version 0.31 - back in 40d and earlier, dwarves replaced their clothing just like they were supposed to, but their old clothing was typically left to clutter stockpiles and workshops indefinitely unless you ensured that all of your bedrooms contained enough chests/cabinets or floor space (and even then, some dwarves were too lazy to put their stuff away, and soldiers would never do it).

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
