[Blade Master Model 42]

scaliper, I suggest you get familiar with the hotkeys. Most of the really important stuff was tied to them, at least when it was my turn.

I think it might be worthwhile to lock the whole fort up for a while, until our military stops being incompetent.

[scaliper]

As of yet, there are some bedrooms set up with nobody assigned to them. The base of operations is extremely small, nowhere near big enough to fit even a quarter of the dwarves. And if I can't get the military up and running quickly, it may stay that way, at least for my turn.

As an aside, the fort seems to be locked up nice and tight. Although there's a huge siege right outside, all the gates are pulled. To my knowledge, there is absolutely no threat to us at the moment. As an aside, I think my first order of business is going to be to get the military into a coherent shape, and get them set up in the bunker. Well...after figuring out the hotkeys, of course. Just looking around, I've already set one up for the forges, although I might delete that now that I'm familiar enough that I can use the manager effectively. Did some testing in another fort, far less inefficient than I had been led to believe by the wiki.

Anyone know what "Sholkikitat" is? One of the soldiers is said to be wearing it, but I can't find it on the artifact list.

The bedrooms in Hell are part of the barracks.  If you set up some prepared meals and booze stockpiles down there, you'll be able to train troops 24/7.  The barrack piece is one of the left-most armor stands/weapon racks. 

And yes, good GOD is Deathgate a clusterfuck of architecture.  The first two level's aren't so bad.  Below that?  Is a cluster-fuck

Also:
F1 - Entrance
F2 - Main Floor
F3 - Food Production
F4 - Sub Fort
F5 - Armok's Temple
Ctrl - F4 - Hell

Those are the main ones I've got memerized.

[scaliper]

Ah, I was wondering about that. I actually designated the lower armor rack to be the barracks and set my newly organized military to that one, so I'll remove the old one...Update coming some time tomorrow, I think. I made less progress on my first day than I had hoped, but hopefully all will come out well in the end. Also, those forgotten beasts are really annoying me...

How's the FPS running?  I was getting mid-teens with the siege and mid twenties without it.  I didn't clear the fort of stone though, but the murdering of pets did quite a bit for the lag.

Lag is actually better than I'm used to, although it may just be the new computer. I'm currently running at ~FPS.

Wait what?

[Dermonster]

Isn't it obvious? He's breached the threshold of a quantum singularity and now his copy of DF is running at the speed of kumquat.

[scaliper]

Sorry, numlock somehow managed to turn itself off. S'posed to be 32.

[Dermonster]

I like my explanation better.

Conform to it or I may think angry thoughts in your general direction for half a second.

[scaliper]

Very well. I must admit, I like your idea of breaching quantum singularity.

[yourfears]

well with all the quantum breaches and self sacrificing dwarves i may have to see how my machine holds up

[Dermonster]

Also I want to be dwarfed as Derm the SCIENCE! dwarf.

BECAUSE WHY THE HELL NOT?(Not actually taking a turn, just want a dwarf. Because yes.)

[yourfears]

i feel a stand back im going to do science (with magma) coming on
