Cage traps or weapon traps? Or a delicious melange?

Cage traps or weapon traps? Or a delicious melange?

THAT is up to Urist.  If he approves of the idea, he'll be in charge of those two passages.

I like it. As for the traps, I'll work on the following setup:

This would give us some corpses immediately and more once the military's done with them. I hope we have some good butcher URISTs. As for what to pur in the traps, I'd recommend serrated discs, and EmperorJon will have the final decision on material. Eventually, I wish to completely fill both tunnels, but that will likely have to wait until magma becomes available. I'm also going to hold off on pressure-plate traps until we have magma as well.

As you wish, though I figured the pressure plates would simply close up the drawbridges at the end.  That way if anything made it through, they wouldn't make it into the fort itself.  Unless it has trap-avoid.

Hmm, I'll happily smith some disks when I'm ou t of prison. Whatever metal we can get that's decent. I'm worried we have no iron. :S

Some players had exploratory mining as a suggestion. We'll have to trade for metals in the meantime. By the way, the trade caravan is going to be asking us what we want for next season as soon as I unpause. I assume "all the iron/steel they can lug over?"

I'm going to play the turn next chunk of free time I get now that Dorna and Imiknorris have offered up their cavern plans.

The general plan right now seems to be focusing on delving for magma and getting cavern defences set up. I'm going to have Gordy making glass parts for magma pumping along with his construction materials. EJ will make cages, copper trap components and use the steel/silver to forge high-quality weapons for Jacen, Crazyteddles, Aqua and Unibot and probably make a suit of steel mail for IPunchFaces since he's a wrestler and needs the defence. IPunchFaces and his new partner in pummeling IKickShins will scout the entire cavern map while the rest of the military defends the construction. Aaronius will make some wooden cages and round off the number of beds. Everyone not mentioned will be following their orders as posted, naturally.

Be sure to order GOLD, and other random metals in lower demands.

Huh, barbarian! I refuse to eat the meat of Dorf's Best Friend. And, while were at it, no kittens either. I like... STEAK. And BACON. And sausages. And of course, everyone loves Elephant meat.

Is that side room for the butcher shop? And do you want that upper section expanded on if there's time? Simple construction usually goes pretty fast unless you're PBD in which case it takes years

Build a butcher shop in room and dig out a room left of it and put in craftshop.

If the upper section can be expanded I would like a second floor with a roof.
Also expand lower part of it. It will be for grazers that will be butchered.

[EmperorJon]

Er... what happened!? Why's it gone quiet! 

[bayar]

It's just resting. I'm sure updates will be coming soon.

That means I've got the 100% go-ahead to play a turn! I had classes yesterday and I also wanted to give a few players the chance to give orders before continuing but it looks like we're all set.

[plisskin]

This turn'll take a little longer because I'm taking the time to establish burrows, restructure the way URISTs do labour to ensure that basic needs are fulfilled and working out uniforms for the military. I had some conflicts on startup involving IPunchFaces' squad putting on and taking off leather armour/mail shirts over and over again. Hopefully there'll be an update tomorrow!
