I'm about halfway, with my bridge finished and two of my other projects nearing completion. Hmmm, No idea what to do for the other two projects.

Second year finished, save file: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1177

Didn't do much this year really, dug out lots of workshops, population... sextupled.
Biggest achivement probably getting a cheesemaker who makes cheese! (24k meal stacks ftw).

OH YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!

I must have the worst luck of all...
First I fuck up with a Save a couple of nights ago...
AND NOW
DF decides to fuck with me, this happens sometimes and it hadn't for a while now. In an attempt to save it says, Nope can't find where you are trying to save it to despite the fact that its there and you know what, we are gonna close down on ya...

That was two years down the drain cause now I can't bloddy load the old save...

Shit mate, sorry but I am starting again from the start...
No Bloody luck...

After year 2. My first death was a fisherman killed by carp. I got a lot done too. The water trap is ready, and the trade depot and waterfall(if you can call it that) are almost done. And my first line of defence is a racoon and a hoary marmot.

Would the trade depot go as a new project or count with the bridge?

Allright, into my third year now. Had 4 artifact, 3 of which were boring craft artifact, 2 of those made legendary stonecradter, and 1 made a kinda cool legendary metalcrafter. The last one was a native platinum.... coffin. Worth allmost 200k dwarfsbucks. My fort value depends allmost entirely on those artifacts, kinda smells as I try to get a lot of value out of architecture.

Finished deversion of the minor river, finished the bridge, finished draining the majout river BUT I royaly screwed up on the mechanism thats suppost to put it back to normal again. Now im stuck building bridges that spam me with submerged messages, at a worthless fps of 15-25. Great going me... to hell goes my scedule. Grrrrrr.....

Next time I use bridges as floodgate I gotta make veeeeery certain I dont just make them 'retractable'

At least I can work on the main tower in which my actualy fortress will be, but its an ambitious project and time is gonna be narrow. Hope I make it :P

EDIT: oh christ... MIGRANTS. Thats all I needed. 9 fps now. Yeah, NINE fps. Less then a tenth of the default game speed. Matrix style, intense boredom enseus. Thank god I got most of the bridges done.

I finished the third year yesterday. The fourth year started with a gobelin siege. I chose not to protect my fortress with traps. Bad choice. I lost something like 20 dwarves...
But I got lucky, I didn't lose important dwarves and no tantrum spiral, so the game goes on!

I didn't get much artefacts, but I got a legendary mason. Very useful! :)

*gasp of relief*

Finished the repairing my majour river after unsuspending uncountable times, never has DF been such a bore as then... Anyhow, my fps is back to ~47 which is acceptable enough for me.

Had a cool artifact as well.

It has an image of a bridge being constructed, rather fitting isnt it?
