SPRING2nd GraniteWell, the elections are finally done (How we managed to keep em secret from the noble, I'll never know) and I am now the new ruler of this fortress. still not sure how i got voted in. Heck, i spend so much time in my workshop making crafts that i barely know anyone. ah well, down to buisness. Had a talk withe the previous administration. didn't catch most of it, mainly dealt with military concerns, but it's not like the guy is going anywhere.
-later- took a walk around the fortress to get better acquainted with the fortress when i noticed something about our archery ranges:
the marksdwarves are standing two feet from the target. I quickly ordered the Masons to build walls to extend the archery range.
Mason:
can't, sorryMe:
and why not?Mason:
the floor is in the way of building walls. Can't build a wall on floors.I must say that yelling is oddly satisfying.
3rd Granite
ordered masons to finish the fortifications on the walls. didn't get to yell. disappointed.
bad news today. we are running low on beer. The book keeper believes we have less than one pint of beer per person int the fort.
I immediately order the production of more beer.
let's hope he manages to get it done.

was talking to some military guys recently. They said they would like a small tower on the northern wall to help with lookout duties. Currently planning with the masons and architects to get it done. am planning to add catapults to the top to help with sieges.
