Could I join in?

On average, what is your FPS?

Around 7-9.

[Chaoseed]

So...judging by the signup list, it'll probably be a week or two before reaching the end? I think I'd like to sign up, then.

Depending on how long the turns take.

Work is nearly completed on the forgotten beast trap system. When one enters, it will most likely knock down a few of the statues, alerting the dwarves to it's presence. Then a lever is pulled, raising the drawbridges. It then has to go through a gauntlet of spike traps. if it survives, there are a few war dogs to finish it off.


There has been a dwarf standing around in a mason's shop yelling about bones. Since we have plenty of bones, I think he actually wants shells, which we sadly have none of. Also, a few migrants have arrived, which will be handy when he will eventually need to be replaced.

What a crazy month we had!

First, we decided to test out the gauntlet system. A few brave dwarves were sent down to lure the beast up, and one was killed on the process. The beast followed. Unfortunately, it was then discovered that the trap was set up backwards, and he encountered the war dogs first. They didn't stand a chance.



Then, the beast proceeded to NOT go through the spike traps, but instead to pace back and forth in the corridor. So, we dropped the ceiling on him.



Problem solved.

With that out of the way, architects were immediately dispatched to rebuild the magma pump stack. After they were finished, masons were sent to wall off the pump access shaft, as well as each individual pump. This way, if a forgotten beast happens to get into the shaft, it will be unable to destroy the pumps or access the rest of the fort. With the stack completed, the magma pumps were turned on, then off again while masons were sent to repair holes that had appeared in the stack after many months of disuse.

In other news, the moody dwarf went berserk. He went to the dining hall and started harassing animals and killed a child. Luckily, he stepped onto a nearby cage trap, and is now in the arena stockpile. Hopefully, we'll get some fun battles out of him.

Great progress!  Glad to see Skyscrapes is still going strong.

With the magma pump stack operating again, the obsidian generator has been put to work again. We're going to need a lot of stone in order to continue expanding this tower upwards.

[Sizik]

Don't worry, I'm not dead yet.

The obsidian generator has been operating at full capacity, which is not very much considering we don't have very skilled miners. Construction is going well.

[Twobeard]

Sizik arnt forgotten beasts immune to traps?? The gauntlet system of yours wouldnt work anyway.

[Sizik]

They're upright spears/spikes connected to a lever.

The year's starting to get boring now. Human traders came, but the didn't have much that we needed.
Construction's pretty much finished. It's quite a radical departure from previous floors.

Traders came, and we bought out their entire caravan with gold crafts. The dwarves have been working on various structures around the fort to help liven things up a bit.

Bump from the abyss! I finally took the time to finish up the year, since I have a week off from school for Thanksgiving. The fort currently gets 6 FPS; I was only able to handle getting through the year by speeding up the dwarves a bit in the raws.

Should this fort continue? It's getting a bit slow.
