Indeed. I downloaded vanilla DF so that I could play this without anything screwing up. Don't want somebody to wonder about random sand zones and bags of sandy loam. I guess I forgot to set the init beforehand.
1st Granite, 1055 Early Spring,
It is on this day that I take up leadership of Bloodrock, the Fortress of Guardangel the Blue Labor. I guess Izeg DOES reward her followers. I'm not quite sure how I got this position, a lowly Le Maker. I thought for sure I was a goner when I first saw this fort. Many rumors of fortresses dumping our kind in volcanoes.
I immigrated here, and I really have yet to have much time to look around the place. I guess now I'll have to.
2nd of Granite,
Wow, things are a little... hectic around here. I guess I'll have to right some thing. Mainly the housing situation. Where are we al going to sleep, the barracks? We don't look like a fortress, why should we live like one? I had a friend of mine design the new residences near a place designated for a spiral staircase. I don't know who would use such a place, you can't sleep there nor eat there.
The current housing standards are indeed rather low. I hope to get every Dwarf a bed by the end of my rule. I'll even take a pick at this myself, to show the population that I'll be glad to help with heavy work.
Also, I'm expanding some halls and stockpiles.
6th of Granite,
Seems like there has yet to be a real fight for this fortress. I'm creating walls on our northern border to make sure invaders won't try anything funny on the overhanging cliffs.
12th of Granite,
Looking back, these journal entries seem a little... common. I do this for the people! They should know what their leaders are thinking!
Oh, and some kobolds came yesterday to deliver their good of Petty Annoyance. This was a perfect time to export our good, Death. One even died in the refuse stockpile, which saved some hauling.
And some baby snatchers came today. A legendary woodcrafter skilled in quite a few professions in his own wrestling squad hit one so hard that he severely damaged it's heart and lungs. Damn, I'm staying away from him.
The others were found by the woodcutting team. A pair after Datan Morulimush's babies. One escaped with nothing to show, the others had his hands loped off before the killing blow was made.
A few more attacked several different parts of the fortress at once. A mixture of soapers and pump-operators took care of them.
That’s right, go back and tell the rest of your kind what we do to baby snatchers!
17 granite,
Elves! We will be getting rid of as much goblin crap as we can to them. I have heard that goblins often invade behind an Elven caravan, so I set all military squads near our borders.
20'th Granite,
A wrestler has suffocated. I don't know what previous condition warranted this, but he was the leader of the newbie squad. I'm sure it was just a sparring accident. Then again, why do our newbie fighters have spears?
Also, I traded with the elves myself today. I'm just wondering, who the HELL told them it was okay to bring so much cloth?! We have enough leather to outfit the entire fort with armor, why would we need cloth?
I'm tempted to use the deathtrap on 'em, but I remember: I have several under construction that I would like to put into action all at once.
1st Slate,
While digging out the housing district, we found Copper, Tin and Aluminum. I shall name this the Bronze District.
Also, I think I have a protest on my hands. Dwarves are canceling tasks left and right, for no real reason. There is no way I overworked them, and they are all quite happy. I only hope this is temporary.
9th Slate,
The protests continue. It seems only after several suspensions the Dwarves get to work. This is for you guys! an, I need a drink...
Also, during the protests, a child was snatched. This is why we all need to work together!
24th Slate,
Seems there are more minerals in the new hall than thought. We just hit the tip of veins of Galena and Copper. Hurah! Like my father always taught me, "The minerals are always better after the magma." Of course that was with the older fortresses and they usually meant a river of magma and not a volcanic pipe, but I guess it holds true everywhere.
2nd Felsite,
Medtob Litastgembish, the Woodworker, has been possessed! I hope we can drive out these spirits taking over his body.
I wonder...
*There appears to be several scratch marks on the page, several of them seemingly in rage*
So, the possession was made to warn us. Several unwanted persons appeared just now. A Tax Collector has appeared, as well as a Hemmerer, Countess and a Wise Dwarf. Now I'll need to cater to their demands.
I guess this is why I made those noble rooms in the Bronze District. I just hope I can furnish them soon enough to avoid problems. I REALLY hope no stink'n economy happens.
The Woodworker claimed a bowyers workshop. Perhaps this is a sign that I'll need to use a crossbow soon?
11th Felsite,
The woodworker is finished. He created a Chestnut Crossbow, which I hope I never need to use on the nobles.
Whenever,
Those bastards evicted me. I’ll show ‘em. They can take my room, but nobody will know of my burial site. Nobody. As a note to whoever cares/whoever goes through our wills, here is a copper statue in my room. Remove it, and you’ll see a constructed wall. Take it apart and you will find where to bury me.
Ah, the warmth of summer. Hopefully it won't make the vomit in the entrance any worse. And hopefully, it won't bring the heat of battle.
Oh man, that took a while. Hopefully I can get the rest of the year down relatively fast. The FPS is around 10-20, I dunno how fast I can do this.
