Autumn & Winter, final update for year 112.
"Before we lose too many more dwarfs, we need to finish the lava tap and begin a real metal industry" I mutter to myself, lucikly the miners have finished most preperations to tap the magma.
"It seems another fey mood has happened, good luck Zas."
"Even as we have hope of a new crafter from a fey mood, emotions are running high, as another berserk rage happens."
"More or slain by the berserker before they can be taken down. And the human guild representative is taken with melancholy, wandering off to who knows where. "
...
"The 'failure' of the millitary due to a commander falling asleep or getting hungry makes it apparant that if we are to keep a standing force, they should be smaller squads so that fewer forces are unavailable when a leader thinks they are too important than their own duty. "
"With one of our 'recruits' spending months in bed with a bruised shoulder, they were removed from active duty, and the rest were divided into squads of four. All weapon designations removed for now, with the reccomendation that axes or hammers be selected in the future. Their armor and shields reduced to nothing for the time being as well while equipment can be reorganized and new production can begin."
...
"The magma has been tapped."
"A new work area for metal production and storage has been designated."
"All other weapon, armor, and bar stockpiles have been removed, and replaced with stockpiles one level above the magma smelters and forges. This should keep the bars close to the forges, and all items designated to be melted from getting too far from the smelters."
"Not many other events happened. A skeletal goat tried to invade our fortress.
but it was taken down by our brave citizenry."
"Unfortunately zas did not get the materials needed, and went stark raving mad!"
"The year has ended, another dwarf was taken by a strange mood, and sits waiting for a few materials to begin construction, logs and tanned hides may need to be aquired by the next overseer."
"Training seemed to be doing well for the 12 dwarfs in our 3 squads, with many of them becoming
trading card wrestling champions themselves."
"We still have 92 dwarfs, thanks to a migrant wave replacing most of the dwarfs lost in the last few months. 9 Champions in our ranks training in wrestling. I still suggest hammers or battle axes instead of spears or swords. The smelters are up and running. With trade from the caravans that made it this year, I have aquired a few more iron and steel items that I intend to melt down to bars, along with most of the equipment that has been designated to be melted as well. I reccomend keeping these items set to melt, and also that when more copper or bronze pickaxes can be made, that any iron or steel pickaxes be melted down as well. With the number of metal bars available to us about to increase, I expect full sets of iron or steel armor should soon be able to me made by whoever takes control next, with at least iron weapons being available for the millitary. Wooden shields should be good enough as any ammount of metal would better be served as armor."
"This year went by quickly. I was mayor, then unelected back down to a planter, but as overseer I have started gathering spider silk thread, expanded our crafting capacity, and tapped the magma, freeing us from the constraints of wood fuel for our metal industry. We may have lost many dwarfs already. But if we don't crack mentally, we stand a fighting chance of destroying any undead or goblins that try to take us down. Now I guess I'll put this stick down somewhere, and hope the next overseer is able to build upon what I have done. I'm going back to the fields, I hope those cheeky skeletons don't find their way in."
