Your first fort Jack? You've never played DF before?
>.>
<.<
Ah, you know what I mean.
Well, I think you meant your first succession fort. I hope that's what you meant anyway.
HERE'S AUTUMN! THE BEST SEASON EVER!
After straining for some time, I have finally managed to purge that pocket of water from it's icy prison, and I've established a farm.
Everyone is growing thirsty, I hope I can get something to grow before dehydration takes anyone.
But wait! We have a surprise visitor:
The caravan! Yes, thank you! and no raptors, thank goodness.
Let's give'em some of those mechanism's RAM's been churning out for all their food. They don't have any drink however.
Quickly brewing some of the plump helmets they brought however, I manage to get some drink.
Our stores are replenished, and the farms have time to grow, we are saved! Also, we got an iron anvil and some rope, I hurry and rush everything in as fast as I can before any raptors suddenly attack. Some stray bits of food are left outside because leaving the gate open for every single little thing is dangerous. Also, I made requests for more valuable materials we'll be sorely lacking in (iron, steel, drink, wood, animals, etc),
Ontop of surviving we have this brand spankin' new cavern that has all these free space for us to use! Now I have an adequate place to put all our valuables and workshops and... hold on, what's this "damp silt"? Let's just have Duke mine that out and WHOA!
An aquifer! A tiny small aquifer at the edge of the map! Now I don't have to commence operation "drop chunks of ice into rock layer"! We have infinite free water forever baby yeah! Now all I have to do is dig out the z-level above it and build a well to harness it properly. The water is even self-containing and self-refilling, I could never ask for more! With the farm, food pile, beer pile, water, and workshops here, this is the most ideal place to put all my workshops, and it'll be even better when I dig one z-level down and harness the power of all the magma just below me.
Wait, what's this? Immigrants!
Alright everyone, here's your dorfs:
Akroma:
Broose, the child:
CJ1145:
Jakkarra:
Militia:
Meph:
Okenido:
Org:
Paranatural:
Ravus:
Rysith:
Villien:
and this is the current line-up, minus Broose who is on the second page:
I don't have any weapons at the moment, so everyone requesting a military dwarf will have to wait until I have a proper barracks and training equipment.
which may never come, mind you.
Let's dig out some bedrooms for our new residents.
Yes, now let's just dig and...
wait... it can't be, YET IT IS!
Very first fey mood, and it's all mine! Too bad the exp will go straight to mining, but I don't care, it's all mine!
After a while, I finally finish it.
It's so awesome it has a picture of itself on it! I'm gonna use Winter to build myself a mausoleum and put this in their!
Yet to see any Raptors, fortunately?
Winter looks very promising.
