The LNP is provided in the OP, all mods configured and set.  If you tried to run the Fortress without it, then things will probably be really screwed up interesting.

[scourge728]

Oh they were VERY interesting.... it's a good thing I'm not prone to seizures....
Spring

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Everything is broken... the most annoying part of the graphics is the constant flashing of various grasses

I dorfed myself as a miner

We taming these birds now

Why do these things happen instantly every time I run a succession fort...

It's a bunch of dark stranglers.... And I can't close the gate because I couldn't find a lever, so I'm having one of those built and having both squads stand guard at the gate

Okay this means war... ATTACK

A duck killed this bird.... A DUCK.... stupid duck

On another note, are these supposed to show up, because they do

Oops

This is vital information *sarcasm*

So we killed all but two of the monkeys, but all of our military is now in the hospital, and they keep killing our dwarves one by one, who proceed to generate another corpse hauling task.... So I've decided "Let's do this Medieval Europe style and send hordes of untrained peasants at them."

Which killed one of them, but got 10 peasants hospitalized, so my idea was... send another set of them at the last one. Which ended... about the same actually... But hey, they are all dead now.... along with our non-pig livestock... But remember before how I said I had a tactical sucsess, that was a strategic error, well this was it, because as it turns out....
We have no medical supplies of any kind... We don't even have buckets, which I can at least get fixed.  We also don't appear to have enough hospital space, so I expanded it

Oh... this could be good.

Okay.

Now, if I could get some of these to join the fort....

Here we go.....

I see..

Well that was lame...

This I can fix, so I ended up expanding the hospital space far more than the zone can go, so I turned the remaining space into Coffin Land, which I then expanded again for more Fun Times For All The Family.

And with that, we move to summer

Summer

Oh GOOD! But, at the very least, I got the gate set up, so we can just close that and be safe.

This happened instantly after by the way.

Well, now we can begin doing this.

Yeah, at some point the siege just left, and so I now have a refilled military, and some more dwarves for doing things around the fortress.

I also decided to expand the living quarters.

Well that's not good.

THAT is good. We can get thread and stuff.

How did this dwarf with no combat experience just murder a troll.

And with that, it is Autumn

Autumn

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh good.

So this is a thing. But as it turns out, mussel shell crafts are worth basically nothing, so I threw in some prepared food and some gems and got MEDICAL SUPPLIES YES! and some sheets and books. And requested steel and cloth and probably something else I don't remember.

Oh. I have low hopes.

Still not caring.

How on EARTH did you get HERE!

Still care more about the plump helmet man than you.

Well it's not us, so I don't care.

I see... better than I thought it would be to be honest.

I changed my mind, this is a horrible artifact.

Good, more peasants to do things with.

Really, okay military, who is working again, kill this thing.

And with that, it is Winter.

Winter

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Why does this happen Every! Single! Time!

This also keeps happening.

I forgot to get a screenshot of the workshop they claimed..

Oh.

Finally, something interesting.

And with that, it is Spring.

Here's the invasion force, . Stay inside the gate, none of the military has armor, except maybe some bronze breastplates and high boots, depending on if they actually got smelted, and most of them have no skill in anything fighting related.

And here are the plump helmet men we somehow managed to get caught in those cage traps at the entrance... Seriously though, I have the worst luck with sieges and artifacts...

Save is here: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=14019

I made a lever for a bridge I made into the caverns, so pull that if something horrible shows up

[Fleeting Frames]

Well, that felt messy. Libraries built in the fort: -1 (as one library was emptied of scholars). All these invaders, who could have seen that coming.

Oops

Oh good.

Even in death, there's still class differences.

The grass flashing must have been annoying (indicating missing raws, I think). I recall when I applied graphics set to breadbowl via lnp, it stupidly overwrote the raws the graphics didn't affect, thus I had to paste vanilla tigermen (you know, the ones you bought from elves) back in.

I wonder what hospital looks like now.

I suspect the plump helmet man was a thief. Or that you didn't bar off the caverns. Probably the first....Nevermind, I had too much faith in you, expecting you to seal cavern or at least post guards.

These artifacts are not what I can call unlucky for their respective skills - light woodcutting axe, buildable furniture...ring is kind of meh yeah but it's a crafting mood. They are, however, unmanaged in both skills and mats.

[scourge728]

I actually can't recall how many scholars actually died..
As far as I know, the plump helmet men were just normal ones, which is why I was surprised the 4ish of them managed to get into the 3 cage traps on the surface,
The hospital looks the same, just with a large tube downwards with more beds and them coffins
I was mostly referring to the lack of decorations on all but the ring...
I DID make a cavern bridge, it wasn't actually built at the time.. And we have two squads of untrained dwarves with no armor,  we can't have 24/7 guards yet

[Dunamisdeos]

Good god sir

[Fleeting Frames]

By guards, I mean an armor stand at the entrance. Though I guess in current situation there's no difference who meets monsters first.

[Immortal-D]

Good god sir

That pretty much sums things up, doesn't it? lol.  Did the three requested forumites ever receive their respective Dorf?  I'm out of the country for a week tomorrow, so next in line is Dunamisdeos.  I have no idea how the Fortress will work if scourge728 did not use the modded install I provided.  Most importantly though; Do we have any books yet?!

[Dunamisdeos]

I would have to start on Friday. Will update then.

[Dunamisdeos]

Downloading presently, hope to finish the year tonight.

Turns out I don't have access to 7z files here. Looks like I'm doing my turn tomorrow.

[Fleeting Frames]

Is rar ok? Btw, looks like the save is in -zip, not .7z.

[Deus Asmoth]

I had everyone other than Lily dorfed during my year, but no one fit the criteria for her. Hopefully they mostly survived.

[Dunamisdeos]

Is rar ok? Btw, looks like the save is in -zip, not .7z.

Yeah but the pack w/ mods is in 7z.

Imma just un.... un7z? un-seveenz?.. it elsewhere and start tomorrow.

[Fleeting Frames]

Ah well, I guess I was too late.

Though pretty weird to be unable to use common technology old enough to vote.

[Ghills]

PTW.  The built in conflict between making a great library and increased invaders should produce !!FUN!!.

[Dunamisdeos]

I'm basically the worst I completely forgot to do this. Does someone else want a turn I'm back at the computer that can't do 7z. I really am the worst, sorry folks.
