Were taking all of that?!?!

I just get rid of all that stuff and just bring 2 axes, 2 picks, as many seeds and meat I can get, with 2 cows. It is the true Dwarven Way^TM

Yes.
Regardless, this will be great.

[agatharchides]

I usually ditch the buckets, crutches, cloth and thread and what not myself in favor of an anvil or more food and skills. But it doesn't really matter that much. Food is easy to get and we probably won't have much a metal industry before the first caravan anyway. I am curious to know what skills we brought besides miner, broker and mason/mechanic though. 

[EvilFuzzy9]

After a long and harrowing journey, we had finally arrived at our destination.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Our first order of business was to secure some wood and carve out storage.

Agatharchides grabbed an axe and I grabbed a pick, and we went to work.

As I worked on hollowing out our stockpiles, Johnfalcon took the initiative to build workshops for her masonry and mechanics, even dragging Agatharchides away from lumberjacking long enough to build a carpentry workshop. Johnfalco then promptly started carving some mechanisms out of the spare gabbro left by my mining, muttering something about cages and traps...

She seemed rather impatient to get to work, so I left her to her own devices, even though the workshops are in a rather awkward spot.

Seeing Johnfalcon's industriousness, the three brown-clad red shirts decided to grab our spare picks and help me in my task.

As the farmers and I worked on digging down to a level with soil for the farms, Johnfalcon busied herself with walling off parts of the ravine. When I asked her why she was doing this, she rolled her eyes and said "To better defend our entrance. Duh."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

She seems rather paranoid.

Anyways, once the red-shirts had served their purpose, I dismissed them of their mining duties and told them to help with hauling our supplies inside. I'm a Talented enough miner to handle things on my own for now.

[Valrandir]

Cage traps are overpowered.
Instead go for stonefall traps.

[Lielac]

Oooohh, this sounds fun. Put me in the next available spot and name one of the red-shirts after me?

[fatherjimbo]

Is this in orginal ASCII due to preference or lack of support for tilesets on the new version?

Just for my own curiousity and it will decide if I click on the pictures.

Thanks!

[agatharchides]

Wait. Wait. We brought a cheesemaker?

 I think my mind just imploded.

 

 Ironhand's tileset is out, I haven't check the others recently.

[Valrandir]

Therapist, Iron Hand and Phobos are out ready for .19.

[EvilFuzzy9]

As I was digging, our farmer decided to inform me that he wanted to be known by the nickname "Lielac".

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Weird. 

Also, as our food stockpiles seemed rather low, I told Lielac to go out an scavenge what he could from the shrubs at the foot of the mountain.

On the first of Felsite, Johnfalcon's voice was heard to ring triumphantly throughout the rough-hewn halls of our outpost -- it seemed she had created a truly masterful mechanism, which made me glad. It would be certain to fetch a decent price with the autumn caravan!

By the seventeenth of Felsite, I had finished carving out the rooms for me and the others, so I got to work on smoothing mine.

Near the middle of the summer, I decided to take a break. I had earned it, with my hard work.

Then the migrants arrived.

A ranger, a fish dissector ( booo!>), an accomplished armorsmith (yay!), a child, a cheesemaker/leatherworker, and a peasant with military experience, who was promptly chosen as the outpost's militia commander.

I was still on my break, however, so I simply ignored them.

At one point I took a break from my break to eat. Then I went back on break.

By the twelfth of Malachite my break was over and I got back to work.

EDIT: I have reached Autumn. Our food situation hadn't yet stabilized, so I had to butcher our horses for food. I'll probably have my turn finished by the end of the day. If one of you guys want, you can install some graphics, but I'll finish my turn with the graphics as they are.

[Sirdrake]

Can i be the military commander
Name:SirDrake

[Johnfalcon99977]

Wait. I read the frist thing.

Her?

IM A MAN DAMN IT!

Edit: And why are you building stuff in a frozen river?

[EvilFuzzy9]

It's a brook, not a river. And yes, you are a guy, but your dorf is a girl. If it makes you feel any better, mine is a girl too.

And sirdrake, your dwarf is Sir Drake, Privateer and militia commander. Who is also a girl.

[EDIT: We've got an assload of migrants, bringing our population up to twenty-one. Any moment now, someone's gonna go crazy and claim a workshop. Fucking leeches. Most of them are farmers of one kind or another, so I'm gonna put 'em to work in the fields to earn their keep.

[Johnfalcon99977]

Did you make all the named Dwarves women? _{(You sick bastard)}

[EvilFuzzy9]

No, I mostly picked them at random. 

[Valrandir]

Valrandir the Bookkeeper is a "Her" as well
If you finish your turn soon I might be able to do mine tonight as well.

Which graphics do all prefer? Phobos or Ironhand?
