Hehe. If by 'progress' you mean I've impailed every freaking caravan I've met (Or tried my damndest, note to self: expand the fck outta those spikes) then yes, We ARE making progress ;x

Nice to see my "fortress defense system" is being used correctly.

[Montigo]

Was that a new version of Visualizer back there? I didn't think it showed statues.

It's a different visualiser made by baboonanza - http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=39541.0. It also shows beds, tables and chairs. However it doesn't seem to show doors. Or deal well with trees growing in a watery moat.

I should've turned off the alert me on everything notifier back when I started, since it was irritating, but I tuned it out for the most part. When I wasn't tuning it out, it was making me depressed at how lazy the dwarves are.

I just noticed that Besmar, the Mayor during my stint, is actually the son of Dante. I could've done something with that if I'd known.

[jseah]

Right, I only hope Montigo and I can repair the damage you guys did to elven relations.  I was hoping for a few tame giant eagles or something. 

That said, my personal project will be "Mount Archold" to the top floor.  Then pipes for a orbital magma cannon can go through the middle.  Got to seal off the forges from the pipe before that. 

[Dante`]

I was wondering how your going to do the magma cannon, Considering between the top of mt archold and the magma is 2 floors of dwarves doin their buisness. >.>

Also since I'm sick of dwarven sickness I'm paving over the whole outside of the map will FLOORS :|

[jseah]

2 floors of dwarves doing their business?  No problem!  Just pipe it over them.  And have a few chutes for nobles.  Heh. 

If you're going to floor the place over, do you mind doing it near the top z-level?  I can use it for the magma cannon. 

[Dante`]

Eh I hadnt been working on the mountain and I am in summer, I can see what I can start > I mean hell its sposed to be FUN right? So I can totally see what your wanting to do, I hado nly ment the inside of our fort would be "inside" so that we can still have tree's to do something with but what the hell LETS DO THIS!  (On a side note if You can somehow pump water to the top zlvl we could make a HUGE man-made outdoor tree/plant farm. Keeping the lvl below it magma filled and having several floor things, you get the idea, I can see it allready! Too bad im crap at building.

[Dante`]

Ok so heres what I did before work, I'll continue on it between now and school, then finish this afternoon.

16th Hematite, 209.
   A human diplomat has arrived, It will probably be another 4 years before he can gain audiance though.  We've told him this and he's stuck his nose in the air called us retarded and walked on.  I dont feel so sorry for him anymore.

17th Hematite, 209.
   The human caravan has arrived.  I dont feel to kind toward them after their diplomat treated us as such.

19th Hematite, 209.
   Turns out what many have dubbed the 'Fields of Elf Killing' actually works on humans too! Note to self: Clean off the lawn!

21st Hematite, 209.
   Though the dwarves are hesitant to go out and collect the armor from the dead human (while the caravan still watches from our depot no less!) They would rather do this dark deed and risk impailing than risk my wrath.

1st Malachite, 209.
   Humans still havent left, Too afraid to go back the rout that got their friends killed perhaps? I dunno BUT i've ordered a ceeling be put on the path outside our walls.  This whole barfing thing is really grossing me out, I'll also be ordering a ceeling inside between the wall and the hill, Just to keep ourselves from throwing up!

8th Malachite, 209.
   I've debating enclosing the trade depot in walls and buiilding a flooding system to it.  The damn humans still wont leave.
   I've gotten instructions from the mountainhomes, They endorse my idea for a ceeling covering all of the natural land, However they've asked me to take it further and build it in the heavens themselves.  We've started to move upward with the staircases now, We shall build this stairway to heaven, and build ourselves a great ceeling using the bones of the gods themselves if we have to. So it shall be, Praise Armok!

[Dante`]

Its not much but I have to go to school, Will for sure finish it out afterward though. (Sorry for breaking it into many little posts, I'm not too sure on my computers capabilities to not go down recently.)

9th Malachite, 209.
   When I got here we had but 4 doors available to place, Now we are at over two hundred!  However none of the beds I've ordered have been built, Nor the components for the screw pumps to flood, Er, Water our guests.  I'll have to look into this grave shortage of woodworkers we seem to have,  Meanwhile the masons work frivolously toward our goal of a giant ladder leading up to the gods doorstep.  Many are looking tired, and I've heard several of them call me mad, But they'll see the true beauty of it, OR BE THROWN INTO THE MAGMA PIT ITSELF!!!  It will take years to complete, And it will take much swet (As long as it isnt mine!) but I vow even the gods will shiver at our might!
   I've ordered a huge stockpile to be built and all the doors placed within it.  Its gotten so the lazy dwarves wont go out and collect those wonderfully blood soaked items outside our gate anymore.  We need more space! The miners complain I've givin them too much work, They say they need more than the four of them to complete these tasks. One of them even complained he was a jewler not a miner, He caught my hammer well enough.  I've ordered the three remaining to get back to work or they wouldnt recieve beds and food rations for a while.

20th Malachite, 209.
   The human guild representative has recovered his composure enough to sit down and have a meeting. I think just sitting umongst the dwarves who killed his people has scared the shit outta him, And I dont know if his resolve can last him through this.

21st Malachite, 209.
   I'd love to know where everyones finding jobs that are keeping them away from my tasks.  We have 90 dwarves who have not been idle since i've taken over and its IMPOSSIBLE to get anything done, If i hadnt made the promis to my wife and kids to charge through this and keep going I'd have flooded the whole fortress with magma long ago.

23rd Malachite, 209.
   The human merchants have announced they are going to depart, I've stationed a dwarf near the lever in preperation for this event.

10th Galena, 209.
   They still have not left, The lever puller got bored and started switching it on and off randomly. I'm suprised none of the dwarfs walking through have gotten hurt yet, Meanwhile two of the human guards have been standing on the spikes all this time, After about 30 pulls one of them is perfectly fine while the other just has two broken legs.

12th Galena, 209.
   It seems I found a bunch of our workers lining the fortress walls betting on when the soldier would die, And I only found this after a loud cheering and a few moans, It seems someone has won ALOT from the death today, I dont know how this will affect relations but I dont care right now, Work is going slow enough.

18th Galena, 209.
   I have completed one of the tasks left to me by one of the old leaders of the place.  I have completed the irrigation system. I will order the flood-gates closed again and will let it drain off from there.  I may have mis-judged because it seems theres no where for the water to go once its done. Thought clothing flows through and this could be a good way to re-claim items.

[kalida99]

Heh, sorry to interject but is my character still in the realm of the living?

(PS: Great work on the citadel.)

[Dante`]

If your char was named 'kalinda' sadly they have passed.

[Dante`]

Ok yall some REALLY bad news, I think i've broken humanity.  They've been sitting in the depot for half a freaking year allready and they refuse to move even one foot.

[Dante`]

Ok I know I claimed I could have it done before bed BUT i'm mid-autumn (or late cant remember right now) And its been running really slowly. Dont worry I'll get it done o.o

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

5th Limestone, 209.
   Autumn has set in, The leaves are changing and the fish are spawning, The merchants still arent gone.  Oh well their defenders that werent killed in our pit are now standing free guard for our entrance, Maybe we'll get lucky and have a large siege happen and let them kill each other.
   Unfortunatly work is still slow, I wont even get this damned stairway completed before things get done.

13th Limestone, 209.
   The dwarven caravan is here!  The humans still cower in our depot but this shouldnt be a problem, Lets hope we can trade around those pathetic wimps.

20th Limestone, 209.
   A clothier has taken to themselves and decided to get all emo over stuff. We'll just let him brood in the darkness.  Meanwhile the entrance is nearly complete! I wish I could say the same thing about the stairway to heaven.

22nd Limestone, 209.
   He has claimed a clothier shop.

28th Limestone, 209.
   Mysterious construction began!!!  Also ordered ALL of the kittens to be slaughtered imediatly, We had 10 addopt dwarves today alone!

5th Sandstone, 209.
   The artifact is complete, I've included a descriptioon as is customary.
   Valued at 99,899, Kathilaval, "wetloves", a giant cave spider silk long skirt. "this is a giant cave spider silk long skirt, All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality, It is encircled with bands of cave spider silk, marble, sailfin mollybone, and alder. It is made from giant cave spider silk cloth.  The thread is midnight blue with dimple dye. This object menaces with spikes of cave spider silk, green zircon, and oak. On the item is an image of fire snakes in shell opal. On the item is an image of crecent moons in rhyolite.
   Damn right a spiky skirt just what every sexy dwarf needs, Now if only we can get her to start outputting skimpy dwarf thongs!

8th of Sandstone, 209.
   The merchants from the dwarven kingdom are leaving, The ones from the humans remain rooted in their spot.  I cant wait for the next siege.

[Dante`]

This is the end of my turn. It took ALOT longer than I expected but I suspect FPS lag.  My computers been evil to me and I'm debating re-setting it to default.

11th Timber, 209.
   I've been told that the expansion of bedrooms is complete, I've now ordered beds and dressers be put in them all.  However theres still not enough beds. Damn the incompitance of these carpenters. Maybe I should hire an elf!

23rd Timber, 209.
   I've ordered several more 'exploratory' shafts dug. These can also serve for various uses later. Right now I'm just waiting for spring and for the next jackass to come in and take over. I've found its too much for a soldier like me.

1st Moonstone, 209.
   We are only fourteen of the sixteen levels high on the stairway to heaven. I may be able to complete the s tairway but not the flooring on the top.

2nd Moonstone, 209.
   I have ventured down to the new shops and examined the walls. There are many engravings depicting our foundation of Archold in the year 201.  Wow its only been eight years.

4th Moonstone, 209.
   The miners are gaining experiance quick, No longer bitching about being over-worked instead just doing their buisness. And theres no shortage of work for them.

6th Moonstone, 209.
   The stairway is complete and we've begun construction on the great ceeling that will cover our work, Creating darkness FOREVER!!! *Cackles evily* And as the new generations come after they shall behold the perminant darkness upon this land and they will quake, in revelation or fear. BUT THEY SHALL BEHOLD GREATNESS.

18th Moonstone, 209.
   Every five minutes I hear cheers coming from everywhere around me, It seems a few of our dwarves are showing off and creating a multitude of masterpieces for the dwarven crowd, It dosent bother me. I've been working them hard and they deserve a small break. So I let them party as the miners still dig and the masons still lay stone in the heavens.

10th Opal, 209.
   We've run out of food storage space. I dont know how this has happened since our records show a record low, I've ordered several be built in the dining room for safetys sake.

18th Opal, 209.
   I've ordered all of our dogs turned into war dogs. We dont need hunters and we probably wont need the dogs but their useless right now except for meat.

10th Obsidian, 209.
   Atir, a CHILD, has taken to acting fey.  I wonder what this little monster will do to screw up our plans.
   He's claimed a craftsdwarves shop.

18th Obsidian, 209.
   After many days wandering the lower reaches of the fortress the child has begun his construction.

23rd Obsidian, 209.
   The childs work is finished!  And it has named it something truely wierd. I cant even pronounce its name as it spand more than six words!
   "This is a sailfin molly bone idol, All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with alunite, Decorated with cat bone and alder, And encircled with bands of sailfin molly bone and turtle shell.  This object is adorned with hanging rings of rhyolite. On the item is an image of two prickle berries in Rhyolite.
   On the item is an image of dwarves in Red Spinel.  The dwarves are laboring.  The artwork relates to the founding of archold by the Silver bolts of the arena of imprisonment in the early spring of 201."
   
   Since I've deemed this a cry for different foods I've ordered him thrown into the magma pit for heresy.
   Though it WAS worth 33600.

      1st Granite, 209.
   Screw it. My project was not completed but I shall pass it on to the next person anyway.  Let them appease the gods, Meanwhile my wife calls me back to bed.  So ends the second reign of Dante.
