In either case, will we be upgrading to 39e or sticking with 39d?

I'm looking forward to seeing this hodgepodge fortress, and have been considering what sort of quick project I can pull off in my short term of office. Elaborate cascading waterfall system? Catapult Tower? Batista Barrister? Demon Worship?

We've been playing one 39e since the second turn.

Maybe build Catapult tower.

Really? I though it was 39d. Oh well. E it is.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

10th Hematite:
More area for engraving, more military

15th Hematite:
HUMAN SIEGE!!!

18th Hematite:
I see. I was ignoring the humans because they were not doing anything, then got the message a hunter had died. Then realised that there are 4 groups of humans, not just the one I had
initially thought. All in all, 44 humans with 44 horses. Oh crap. I have a military of around 10.

20th Hematite:
Mother of all error spam...
So many cancellations!

24th Hematite:
Humans have settled in with a campfire. I think I will flood them out. How could this possibly go
badly.

26th Hematite:
Rigged the waterfall so that there is an option to make it a waterfall or a flood device. I shall
now test it... This could not possibly go wrong.

28th Hematite:
One of the waterwheels has dissapeared. No idea.
No wood to make new one, this could be tricky

26th Malachite:
Finally got round to fixing waterwheel. Turns out I was trying to build it with wood from
outside, which is forbidden. Just waiting seige out at moment.

7th Galena:
Ok, that failed.
It took a long time, and mostly just flooded into river. My new goal is to have a leisure waterfall and a death one.

3rd Limestone: Quiet lately, just designated some dump sites,set about setting up my tomb and
improving the waterfall.

6th Limestone:
Waterfall flooded again. It always seems to happen when autumn comes around.

8th Limestone:
Humans are leaving. Score. I knew waiting it out was smart...

17th Limestone:
HOLY MOLY. They did not leave, just gathered into action and are currently storming the fortress.
I have been mostly neglecting the military, due to the fact that we have enough traps to kill an
army at the entrance. Unfortunatly, it would seem that humans have trap evade. Shit

19th Limestone:
Lost 1 blacksmith.

20th Limestone:
Time for a charge

21st Limestone:
Bad Idea. No casualties, but several resting, several wounded and stuck outside, and worse yet, I

cannot break this siege. Good luck to the next person...
Edit: 1 death
Edit: 2 deaths, literally in the 2 seconds since I unpaused
Edit: 3

26th Limestone:
Broke the siege. Started setting up death trap for next time.

2nd Sandstone:
Second time that it has happened, waterwheel dissapeared. Really annoying. Not enough power to
run. Also, fey mood has taken leather shop.

3rd Sandstone:
And is demanding a million things. Cannot be bothered. Sorry little guy.

2nd Moonstone:
Last Season on the job.
I get the feeling that my time in the lead has been the beginning of the end for this fortress.

Ah well, not like I will be here for that much longer.

4th Moonstone:
I have decided to create a giant water tower out the front of the fortress to flood the plains to
help with sieges. Could be completely useless...

12th Moonstone:
Goblin siege. Small.

16th Moonstone:
Dead goblins

20th Moonstone:
Progress started on water storage

11th Opal:
Sweet.
Weaponsmith withdrawn from society.

4th Obsidian:
My projext finally draws to a close, in a really bad way.
It is useless at the moment, but with some more work by people in the future it could be made

effective. I think I have done more harm than good here.

1st Spring:
My time as leader is at an end, which I think most of the dwarfes here are happy about. I have
created a waterfall and the start of a deadly plain flooding device. (Or just a waste of time and

stone).

Just a couple of notes on what I did. Since the fortress was pretty much running itself, I had my own projects. The waterfall works, but floods every now and then, so someone else might be able to fix it. The flooding of the plains and the massive failure that was my dam were doomed from the start. In the end I ran out of time, but it was intended to be a very tall tower filled with water, with one floodgate at the bottom that would flood the entire map when opened. The plan to open that was a pressure plate, triggered by even our own dwarfes, at the entrance to my tomb, as a little suprise for letting me die. (I named the first baby of the fortress after me, want to see where he goes in life  ) Someone may wish to finish what I started, ignore it, or most likely deconstruct all the walls. It is really badly done, so feel free to improve it. 

Thanks for the game guys 

[Haven]

Heh... The humans are supposed to be able to avoid any traps the liason has seen, though I was pretty sure I built new ones after he died. That's a pretty nasty seige, but it seems like you did all right. Though, that pressure plate would end up keeping us from putting shiney things in yor tomb, too. Probably good you didn't get around to it.

[Dwarf Fanatic]

It is close to my turn: need help getting newest update.

[Haven]

Should just be able to download it off the site.. And yes, it is time for your turn.

Should make things simpler to use this, though.

[Emperor_Jonathan]

Nice! Too bad about the siege though. Anyway, http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-3201-chainpaper that's the map on DFMA.

[EchoP]

I counted, there were 44 humans in the siege. 
I just waited the siege out, in reality, not much I could do. A bigger military would be advised.

Though, that pressure plate would end up keeping us from putting shiney things in yor tomb, too. Probably good you didn't get around to it.

Oh, I did get round to it, but at the moment, it only releases the water from the 1 z-level tall tower on the plain. I was originally going to make my tomb somewhere hard to find, so that no-one would notice it, until they were dragging my corpse down there 

Oh, and I labelled all the levers in the dining room using the notes system for future people.

[Zerox]

I would like to actually start getting my whole "Reputation for madness going.

So, can I join as a super-mega crazy guy or is that too much for this noobie fort?

[Emperor_Jonathan]

Join and do whatever the fuck you want.

[Haven]

Hm... I'd advise against blatantly bad ideas (like 'that line of rock outside was too messy, so I deconstructed it, removed the bridge, and filled in the moat'.)

But big projects you have no real idea how to actually pull off safely work just as well. Like a MAGMA CANNON!

[RebelZhouYuWu]

Can I join?  If you are looking for a noobish person with ideas that can destroy the whole fort I can be that person.

Like one I tried to build a waterfall near the front entrance of my but the grates didn't drain as much water as I though they would so the area began flooding and then freezing winter hit and.... you can guess from there.

But seriously I have never played a sucession game before and this seems like the perfect place to start.  Or do you not take new people after the game started? 

[Haven]

Finally stuck the both of you onto the list. You should be coming up soon. And yeah, this would be the newbie succession game (somewhat).

[Haven]

Hm... It seems like Fanatic's gone AWOL. If he's not here by the day's end, The_Taken would be next in line.

[the_taken]

I guess it's my turn then. I don't feel like doing it tonight. I may tomorrow. Or the day after.
