Next week up! Claim some more spots!

What do you guys think of Cobalt being a flash-freezer? It'd be nice for rapidly cooling off a drowning room  ;D

Microcline is going okay. At the moment, it simply vaporizes, letting off a blast of heat when you mine it. Still working on making it have a slow burn instead of a gaseous cloud.

@Barbarossa

So cobalt wouldn't be dangerous on its own, but would freeze water if tossed into it?  Also, would the vaporizing microcline mean exploding wagons if the merchants bring something made of it?

I think you can start now; you're after Danarca and he's already uploaded.

So...
Can someone upload the save so I can work on it? =/

EDIT:
Ah, I see BKWM skipped his turn -.-
Great, getting started way too late >.<

EDIT2: I'm uploading the map to DFMA.
Map as of 201

EDIT3:
Guys, the food mismanagement is absolutely horrifying!
Why haven't anyone taken care of the basics??
In my defense, I was trying, but the only farming area available was full of naked mole dogs. That's why I kept talking about farmers getting offed by them. (And it was the main reason I just passed the turn on sooner rather than later, so someone a bit more capable could do it instead.)

I've only played a couple fortresses, so I usually have some soil inside where I can farm from the get go. Not having it was really difficult.

I love how the first thing you see in this map is a cave-in.

Don't think of it as being besieged by thralls/husks, think of it as having your own personal moat of life hating mutilated menaces

Now wall yourself in quickly

Journal  of Lord Shonus, Fisherdwarf Tyrant of Sealbarb
21 Malachite
With Danarca running off into the hills to make them shiny, I now rule in Sealbarb. My first act is to order Danarca back to work.

For some reason, several tons of valuable flux were ordered dumped. I put a stop to that.
23 Malachite

The strange mix of brilliance and blatant incompetence on the part of my predecessors astounds me. Who would have thought that, while we teeter on the edge of starvation, meals rot in the kitchens because the food stockpile is glutted with raw fish. Nobody has bothered to clean the fish I’ve caught. I will attend to that personally, and a new stockpile, only for prepared meals, has been designated.


OOC: The food stockpile near the farms is now for plants and seeds only. There is a dedicated booze stockpile, a dedicated prepared food stock, and a general stockpile near the kitchens.

Cobalt would freeze dwarves too, likely enough.

Not sure about the microcline.
