I thought I'd give you guys a status update so you know I'm not being lazy.
At the moment I've been running through several fortresses trying to make magical weapons.
My most recent fortress, Crystalyears, is in its 4 year, I think, and was close to being able to make some, possessing a great deal of celestrium, and steel, but lacking only flux.
Last night a Bane Dragon arrived.
This caused quite the shitstorm as it flew around the outside area, smashing civilians and soldiers alike across the map, landing to set fire to god damn everything and everyone, and shrugging off bolts with impunity.
It took out an Avar and a Dwarven Caravan in its insane rampage, before one lucky shot from a marksdwarf (with a fricking wooden bolt) managed to pierce its lungs. The Dragon was quite distressed by this and although that marksdwarf survived a pointblank dragonfire blast, he was then smashed across the map, over a lake, by the enraged dragon, which was wielding a steel boot.
My marksdwarf's colleague, a wrestler using a steel spear for the first time ever, managed to plunge the spear into the dragons heart before the dragon beat him to death.
The dragon then proceeded to enter my fortress, and got into the main corridor where it killed a whole load of people before it finally succumbed to its mortal wounds.
It didn't stop there, though, as the bodies piled up and rotted outside, the 60-odd survivors started to go nuts, trying to murder each other. I barely managed to hold it together as I quickly drafted a military dwarf to perform JUSTICE on disorderly dwarves.
From what I can tell, I should still be able to make this fortress work, provided I don't get anything as fierce as a dragon in the near future. I have several years left to make up, which still gives me time to try another fortress to make magic weapons if need be.
