And the long awaited winter...
***
Seasonal Development Progress Report, year 506, form BRT-325, in accordance to 3rd Directive of Bureau of Colonization
Fortress name: Battlefailed
Fortress status: Town
Bookmaster: Unib "Zathel" Ottanlimul
The mining works are complete, and since rubble was regularly hauled away behind the miners, the work can finally begin now.
In other news, mad trader god done in by skeletal horses, who then proceeded to attempt to invade the fort, toppling the statue in the progress. Which revealed a fatal defense flaw... toppled statue gave way to bypassing the first line of traps. I have ordered deconstruction of the statues and building of walls in their place.
For that matter, I have ordered deconstruction of whole temporary living and utility space just below the ground.
Work is slow, but steady. I will have to give up my position as temporary administrator of Battlefailed before I see the full glory of the new fortress, but maybe that's for the better.
The end of my term wasn't peaceful and pleasant. Another goblin ambush came in the last days of Obsidian. My hopes of letting the traps take care of the invaders were crushed when few goblin snatchers got caught in them. Thankfully, the raiders delayed their advance long enough to allow the militia to amass. One brief scuffle later all the greenskins were dead.
Overall, it was a very productive year, but the work is not yet finished. Stockpiles need to be established and moved, new farmspace flooded, dwarves settled in the living pods and magma metalworks built. But that is all the work for the next administrator. I will retread to my new quarters in living pods and busy myself with stockpile records.
End of report
Signed,
Unib "Zathel" Ottanlimul, Bookmaster and temporary administrator of Battlefailed.

Well, that was fun. I absolutely love establishing forts, more so than actually managing them, so it was a perfect turn for me. I moved the version to 0.31.06.
I want another turn
Good god, I hate my upload speed. It's taking forever.
