Hmm.. I'm thinking basically an expanded tower of Triaxx, extended off of the stairs down through 132.

I see these quiet years as the calm before the inevitable storm.

Well I'm not so sure about any store myself. I've seen epic constructions from other people with the progression through multiple years. It always seems that there is this start up phase where things can go right or wrong, but once you reach that golden point that there is nothing the game can throw at you that would cause you to fail. Of course there is always something the player could do that would cause some disaster, but that would either be intentional or a serious mistake.

The only way I can see a game induced storm for this fortress at this point is if mods were to be installed. I'm not sure what mods are out there or how mods even really work in Dwarf Fortress, but that's what I see as a way to create some strife that could challenge the dwarfs.

Not that this project isn't still interesting to pay attention to, I just don't see any storms coming in the near future with the game build being used currently.

I await the day that they taste my axe.

Also, I so want to see more Derm Vs other Towersoared millitary logs.

Just play some Dwarven Chess with it and claim Hell as your personal playground.

I suspect that Derm vs the Entire Military at once would go to the judges.

Cog’s Journal, 12th of Felsite, 324

Elven caravan arrived today.  Not really a point of importance but we’ll get some items out for trading.  I don’t expect much, but they’ve always done a decent job of providing us with brewable plants. 

The military is busy with preparations and training, the last few pieces of adamantine gear for Derm’s squad are coming off the assembly line soon, then we begin work on adamantine equipment for the rest of the military.  And the defenses are very, very close to completion.  The miners have carefully begun exposing deeper sections of the adamantine vein. 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Cog’s Journal, 19th of Felsite, 324

A small breath of life in the fortress, Vucar gave birth to her 19th child today.  Another daughter.  There really isn’t much else to say on this. 

On a separate note, we purchased all the booze and brewable materials from the elves for a single golden crown, a creation of Vucar herself. 

Derm's Journal – Combat Exercise Project #3 – 22nd of Felsite, 323

Scenario: Second floor storage room vs Thor and Rashem Heron-marked.  Both soldiers fully armed and armored with adamantine armor and weapons except for Thor’s platinum war hammer. 

This scenario will prove far more challenging since there are no weak points for me to carve off limbs easily.  The question here is, will I be overwhelmed during a 2 vs 1 fight against opponents this well trained and equipped? 

As I envision it, a perfect defense is second only to a perfect offense.  I have both.  Eventually, one dwarf will make a small mistake, allowing me to breach their armor.  Once through, the razor sharp blade of my axe will finish the job. 

I believe I will have to consider the challenge of fighting my entire squad next. 

OOC: Derm move up a level, successfully defeating two adamantine equipped dwarves without injury.  Coming next update: Derm vs his entire squad. 

@Argonnek: He’s doing just fine, out of prison and back to work on examining the booze supply!

@Triaxx2: I’ll have to look into it.  In the meantime, you are fully stocked on food.

@Indricotherium: Something like that, although the fortress is incredibly stable.  The only danger remaining is through the adamantine.  If I defeat that, I might just retire the fortress as is since the fps is getting frustratingly low on my brand new quad core system.  We’ll see though.

@Syntic: That’s exactly right.  There isn’t any threat that the fortress can’t handle short of amplifying goblins to insane levels.  Except possibly the HFS.  Which we’ll see about soon!

@dermonster: You’re in luck, I’ve got one today, and another planned for next update.

@dragonshardz: Yeah, I think I’ll claim hell soon.  Probably late this year or early next year game time.

That sounds awesome. Can we have a save game so we can look at it in stone sense? I want to see what my tower looks like.

I would like a dwarf. His name should be Mr. Anderson, any random hauler or someone who wouldn't be missed. His only project will be to build a bunker in the mountainside. I will draw plans later, but it should be pursued in secret, with no one else working on it but myself.

EDIT: I suggest the Baron's quarters look out into the caverns, with bridges between the windows and the flying building destroyers, so they can be opened in an emergency.
Sorry, I saw you accidentally wrote closed, so I fixed it.
