Vieto’s glorious Magmarine
Summer
They told me I’m their new leader. ME! I don’t know if I’m the best person for the leader but – wait, I’m the leader! Mwa-hahaha!
TODAY, I WILL BEGIN MY GLORIOUS MAGMARINE! I just need to get rid of those Orcs, first.
Autumn
Ok, the seige is over. I’m beginning the initial phases of my Magmarine, by digging out a section in the grand city’s north. Being the Consort of the Duchess, I easily got permission to do my evil deed. Why, I might even add a ‘flood the world’ lever! Maybe, if I have time. Ether way, time to open the gates.
Well, I opened the gates in time, just after they opened a Dwarven Caravan from the mountainhomes arrived… as well as an Elvin Diplomat. I’ll see to it that he gets disappointed, unless he gives me a realistic demand. Silly elves.
Well, considering we don’t even have 124 trees, we worked towards a mutual agreement. By we, of course, I mean the lacky I sent to do the talking. In any case, construction has begun outside. The lacky informed me the elf was very smug. Note to self; learn how to use that magma cannon…
The slacker Demonic_spoon finally did his trading! Also, one of our masons has begun a mysterious construction. Must have been secretive or something, I don’t pay attention to these things. My Magmarine has a higher priority.
Progress is going well on the wall surrounding where the Magmarine will go. We had a slight cave in; no unjuries, but Demonic_Spoon got knocked unconscious. He wasn’t injured, thankfully, as I have no water with which to treat injuries, and the sole source of water is a plumbing disaster.
Almost done the outer walls… gah! I heard reports of a Macauque attack. I’m sending some military dwarves to make short work of them.
And they finished the job.
Finally, the Sub Pen is secure from all possible seiges and ambushes. Currently, it has a fresh coat of green on it, but that will soon be washed away… with magma. Also, someone began acting weird, claiming a mason shop and all. Peasants, what could he be possibly be doing?
Winter
Digging out the pen now, and a Human diplomat appeared over the horizon. What could he possibly want in the middle of winter?
On the other hand, he does appear to have Melancholy. That might have something to do with it.
Some goblins ambushed… our front entrance. They never had a chance. They missed their window of opportunity by about a month.
Another goblin ambush, no harm done – hey, is that a child out there? EVERYONE, BATTLE STATIONS! SAVE THAT KID!
We’re too late… the kid is dead. I hope he wasn’t the son of anyone important. He wasn’t my kid, so I’ll get right back to work on my Magmarine. In fact, I better close the gates now, before any more children leave. I’ve heard about tantrum spirals, not pretty. Definitely not good for someone with a megaproject.
The Human is speaking to us. Its kind of creepy, he’s saying things like ‘Its such a pleasant place you’ve carved yourself’ to the Duchess. I’m getting bad vibes from him. Anyways; back to the subpen!
It has suddenly occurred to me that I haven’t made anything to power the magma pumps that will be filling the sub-pen. Hmmm…
It is a sad day today. Nil, captain of the Guard, died of starvation, despite our massive foodstocks. From now on, the 1st of Obsidian will be called ‘Nil years day’ because it was the day he died.
Speaking of death, the human died. I hope this doesn’t end badly… I knew he had Melancholy!
Spring
Another royal guard has died of thirst… considering we have over 2000 units of booze, the peasants must be revolting! I must finish my Magmarine before they get me!
I’ve begun filling up a small tunnel with magma. I hope we will be able to lift all the magma to the Sub-pen eventally… My Dwarf senses are tingling… ELVES!
Oh, phew, they are just a hippy caravan. Time to open the gates, and see if the hypocrites brought and wood, exotic animals, or sunberries. Now where is Demonspoon?
As I was walking about the Magmarine, I saw a splattering of blood among the vomit. It was at this time that the Elven ‘diplomat’ appeared. Holding his disgust back, we agreed not to cut down over 100 trees. These elves are persistant. Smug little bastards, err, little where it counts
In other news, DS finally showed up to trade with the elves.
After trading, DS looked rather Smug. He claimed he bought us a grizzly. A female Grizzly. Now we just need a male one to wander on the map, and we could easily have a Grizzly Armada. Right here is the sole reason I tolerate the elves; They give us grizzlies.
Well, we really need to reset the traps by the entrance; an ambush sprung there, killing the mechanic who was loading a cage trap. 6 deaths thus far. Thankfully, nobody knew him better than a long-term aquaintance.
Gah! There is a full fledged war going on outside! They nearly got DemonSpoon, but he managed to get inside before he was injured.
After the brief combat session, I’m now stationing my men at the entrance so all the goods can be brought inside safely.
Today, We have been granted a baby girl. In other news, a child has been kidnapped! And a bone carver has just became possessed. Also, 2 more layers to clear before construction of the actual Submarine can begin! I have organised a party to celebrate the first of these… Wait a second; everyone, stop slacking!
Well, the possessed guy came out with a cave lobster shell bugle, with 24k. Also, Our entrance may as well be flowing with vomit; that should keep the goblins and Orcs away!
It finally rained! Now our dwarves are rushing to get what little water the cistern has collected. Also, we have a dungeon master. This is great news, as now we can tame that Wyvern we happen to have.
Immigrant wave! 24 new men immediately going into the military or making my Magmarine! Population now 134.
I heard my leadership on this project has an encroaching time limit; mutinous peasants! I’m speeding up the digging.
Summer
We have cleared out the Subpen. Now its time to start building the sub! And, of course, finish the magma pump system.
As we begin this, the humans have declared war on us, and there are several humans waiting.
Autumn
We have progress on the first 2 decks. I hope the next leader will allow me to finish the rest of the sub.
Winter
THE MAGMARINE IS COMPLETE!
Or at least just a skeleton, I trust my successor will furnish it with rooms, and finish the magma pump. In the mean time, its time for me to relax a bit. What, with the seige and all. Death count: 9. Oh, and its almost Nil years eve! Got to prepare for festivities.
- The Duke
-ps: finish the Magmarine, FOR THE DUKE!
------------------------------------
The mega-project (except in green, and magma hasn't been added yet): THE MAGMARINE!
---
Ok, so I’ve built a magmarine, which is a submarine that will be submerged in magma. The next person may do whatever they like with the Magmarine, but if they want to complete it, it needs rooms, and it needs the windmills to be built and hooked up; the latter needs about 200 wood. Once connected, only a lever needs to be pushed for the whole contraption to fill the pen. Just make sure you don’t push the wrong lever ;P
