OK... I got past spring. Here are some pictures.
The brook is to your left. We removed the wall and weapon traps and added a load of cage traps. Why kill the intruder if you could just capture it. The elves came to trade and they do have some good stuff to trade. Some sort of other elf came too to limit our wood cutting or something. Apparently we agreed. I just hope they allowed us to cut enough. Oh and new migrants also came. 11 of them. To the right are the stairs to the refuse pile that is inside as the outside can be quite horrible. To the north is the well and a little water supply for some reason. Oh and of course the stairs down too.
Apparently most of the fortress has been put on this floor. The big empty space is the stockpile. To the right is the dormatory. The beds were rearranged. Oh and for some reason there were very few doors before. Did they really expect all these dwarves to fit through a single door? South there is the dining room that has been fully engraved but we still need 20 more tables and chairs. The workshops are also south. To the left there is our farm, seed storage, main staircase and some weird stuff. The levers were removed just to be sure no maniac would pull 1.
The bottom floor is smaller again. There were some weird empty spaces but since we didn't know what to do with them we just built the bedrooms over them. More bedrooms are coming soon.
Autumn came. Not much has changed so no pictures. I have finished pretty much everything that is
needed so I would like to start on some sort of project. Maybe it could have something to do with...
The magma sea that I dug out to! Yup! I got to the magma sea. I also found the cave layers but I carefully avoided them. Nothing can get in or out from the caverns. So what should I do with the magma? It's quite deep. About 40z-levels underground. Should I try to pump some up and construct the workshops in the fortress, construct the workshops down there, just leave it be or do something else? I also found 2 adamantine pillars but only a tiny part is mineable without letting the magma flood in. I still wouldn't try it after last seeing the HFS. So post your ideas of what to do with the magma sea and what project to start!
