A cold forest

An ordinary plain anywhere on the map

Right beside a mountain

[GPeter]

can I get a turn?

Sure dude, sorry, I didn't see your message at the time...

[Caesar Josephus]

I vote Kaemurl gets a nice tall tower with a hole down the middle leading to the temple to Armok where he can toss prisoners down to soak the walls with blood! Ahahahahahaha! Also, if you ever get an artifact hammer (gold or platinum) it needs to be given to him and he needs his profession renamed to Thor. Then if he winds up dead, continue giving the hammer to the successors and do the same. let's see how many 'generations' of people wear the badge armor and weild the weapon.

yes

also Imic, I sigged you.
love your sense of humor

Autumn update is here!

Frantic work continues. We have guard station build with only roof to be done, captain of the guard appointed and a few prison cells set up. In order to do that I allowed production of bronze.

I've also decided it is time to make furniture. I've tallied what we're going to need and had work orders set up to make sure our carpenter, Meng, actually delivers everything I need.

I traded with dwarven caravan for food, so I don't have to deal with farming, I don't have spare dwarfs for that.

Here is the progress on furniture:

And the buildings:

I've decided to go with underground cells with rough floors. Prisoners are going to make do with a masterwork bed and masterwork chain only. Also, some of the living rooms are already furnished and first tenants are moving in already.

Looks like I'll finish one house and finishing touches on the other one will remain for next person in line to do.

[Caesar Josephus]

i really like the apartments. maybe we'll find water underground and get a pond.

[GPeter]

Holy crap, tha's a lot of furniture...

[Kametec_Housen]

Caesar Josephus: I'm glad you like it.

GPeter: Yeah, it is. But each house has 48 apartments, so to furnush 96 apartments, 36 cells and an office, that much is exactly needed. Oh and some decorative doors, 6 of them. To separate indoors from the outdoors only.

I like it! Decorating our town with masterwork wooden furniture will give it a quaint, rustic feel. And of course, wood is more comfortable than stone.

I'm sure wood has absolutely no properties that we may come to regret in the future.

I'm pretty sure our overseers are pretty capable of avoiding it... PREEEEETtY sure 

[Kametec_Housen]

My turn is done. I'm tired now though, so I'll write the report later. Sorry for the delay.

[GPeter]

No problem dude.

The final update:

Luckily, there were no complications during winter too. I have finished one of the houses. Now, with the exception of 3 babies, each dwarf has his/her own place to live. There were enough married couples willing to share a room so they all could fit in 48 apartments. (66 out of 69 dwarfs accommodated)

Guardhouse is finished too. Some cells need furnishing though, but all materials are queued for production.

The unfinished house has all materials ordered too. But it may take a while, production of all 765 wooden blocks needed may last a little.

I've been building the walls during the winter. Designate it and let the dwarfs to build it piece by piece. Simple enough, what can go wrong?

Spoiler: Dwarfs can get stuck (click to show/hide)

About 6 dwarfs in total got stuck. But they either went somewhere where they were flashing or got stuck after I took the screenshot and I forgot to SC them again, I just cannot find them on any picture.

In retrospect, I should have designated the floor only and wait for it to be finished before designating fortifications. Lesson for next time.
Now that it has come to this, I decided to add scaffolding. If left to their own devices, the dwarfs would finish the construction eventually, but it would be too late for the dwarfs stuck on ramparts. Scaffolding will add total workload for the dwarfs and increase total time needed to finish the construction, but it will allow to save the stuck dwarfs before they die of thirst.

And it worked. Some of the scaffolding is constructed and the thirsty, hungry dwarfs were able to get down. Now here is the total progress:

Spoiler: Total progress (click to show/hide)

There is training area for Fortress guard (The Caves of Righteousness) designated in the guardhouse. Also, I like to build stuff from blocks!

Spoiler: Details (click to show/hide)

Not that there is anyone training anywhere at the moment, I've had all dwarfs help with the construction. But military dwarfs have their equipment (or have they? When I made an armour suit for Kaemurl, the axedwarfs were all over it like locusts), so they can respond to any threats by assigning a kill order to the squad. They are on the slower side however, so it may be necessary to add a burrow and issue a civilian alert to avoid necessary casualties until the military strolls in range.

Spoiler: Downtown (click to show/hide)

The meeting hall is with both drink and prepared food stockpiles. I've tried assigning it to a tavern, but the dwarfs socialized and not worked, so I removed the tavern and left it as plain meeting area. I suspended preparation of food, because the food stockpile got so full that new roasts were left in kitchen to rot. Drink is being brewed as barrels are emptied.

And finally, list of our dwarfs:

As for the walls, I planned to make the walls roofed and towers open air, but I didn't make it in time. Next turn is Ququasar's I think, so it is your call. You have plenty of building materials at your disposal:
