YOu have a bunch of readers because you are such a good story teller. We all love you.

So we've had a slight set back. Almost the entire Mining team was killed in a collapse as well as a baby one of the Miners was carrying around.

The remaining Miner was lucky and is only laid up with a broken leg. Plus there are holes all over the mountainside now  :D

Don't worry, there are many of us reading your wonderful story, it's just that most of us are lurkers.

Scribblings of Argonnek:
I find myself to be in a leadership position among the marksdwarves. How odd.
Must remember to make more bolts.
I wonder if adjusting my angle of fire might give me longer range... nah
That is
great dining room.
bubble bubble oh, how I love the magma flow.
I think I need some new socks.

I was bored and had nothing to do, so I drew a (shitty)picture of how I imagine Flametower looks.

Like Hawkfrost, I still read but don't have anything to say (I'm a lurker like that).

However, I did just get this story into the hall of legends.

I also lurk here. Good reading, but there isn't much to critique, so I just put in the occasional commentary.

I am really not bright sometimes...It only just occured to me to put a temporary dump zone near the building site so the haulers don't have to lug rocks all the way down to the fortress. They're just zipping through it now, I might actually lay the first blocks tonight.

It's raining rocks! And Goats! And a Dwarf...

That herd of goats entered the map just in time to be caught in the first of a series of cave-ins and the last of the experienced Miners fell to his death in the second...And 2 of the new Miners died in the 3rd.

This does NOT bode well for the project...

Had to put a stop to the plan after losing several more newly recruited miners and seeing the rest channel themselves into a corner. Be nice if there was an easier way to collapse 14 z-levels of mountain...

Mine out the bottom layer, all apart from one wall. build a support, link support to lever, far away from the mountain. mine out last wall. wait to get clear. pull lever, crunch.

That worked out rather well. It took about 5 minutes of the game not responding and the lives of a Miner and a cat but the mountain is down!

Now I just have to reclear the building site...

Just a quick building update. The wall is rising quickly...Guess it helps that the materials are only a few feet away  :)
