So um... how's progress going?

[Blade Master Model 42]

Sorry, the pitchblende well is already down. Not sure how I'd go about channeling out that bottom square, letting in water. Seems dangerous.

Also, Noodle, what progress do you mean precisely?

Overseer's Journal: 9th Galena, 754

Nomal Zasitlikot created an interesting set of mechanisms.



Most impressive. If I ever fix the problem with that second well, I can use this mechanism when I set it up again.

It is almost Fall now. I have decided that our military is still lacking. As such, I have recruited new members, and am also forming a crossbow squad. I have designated an area near the barracks to be mined out and used as an archery range. We will not be caught without a skilled force of crosbowdwarves.

The pace of adamantine extraction is unacceptably slow, though not unexpected. Despite my coaching, the miners refuse to mine out unexposed adamantine. We are still getting the occasional chunk in this fashion, but it would be far more efficient to carve out each vein in its entirety. I have begun to hear whispered accusations of madness. For now, I will not give the miners a direct order to remove the main shaft of adamantine. They will simply have to carve out the remaining area around them, including the loose adamantine.

Eventually however, there will be nothing left to mine but the main veins. Then, they will either obey my commands, or I will hammer them myself. I want that adamantine.
 


A Forgotten Beast has appeared in the second cavern. It is sealed though, so it is a mere annoyance, and nothing more.

how is the millatery doing?

i know their newbies atm, but its nice to know if their getting half decent.

You could always excavate the adamantine yourself, after building a wall to keep the naysayers out. >_>

This might negatively impact fps, though.

Nah. I'm just using addy madness as the shtick for my turn. Barring hilarious disaster, I know how I plan to end my turn.

Of course, just before I saved up last, a siege showed up. I haven't dispatched the troops yet, but hilarious disaster may be in the cards, either way.

Next post, I will update everyone on the military and their associated skills.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Double Post! I know, I'm sorry. Update though!

Overseer's Journal: 26th Galena, 754:

It has been an eventful week. We received word of an approaching human caravan. I demanded our trade goods brought to the Depot, and made myself ready to receive the humans into the fortress.

Imagine my surprise when one of the hunters returned, swearing up and down that a goblin siege had come. Needless to say, I prepared for the worst. I ordered everyone inside the gates. Despite this, several of the hunters took potshots at the goblins. Not that I can say they were in the wrong. After waiting a few short days, I realized the single squad of axemen the goblins had sent were the only goblin forces in the area. I mustered our forces to engage the enemy.

The battle was brief, and bloody. Luckily, we had no losses, though there were, I am told, minor injuries. Our one armed swordsdwarf, Tholtig Mengluslem, received a few slashes on his feet and legs. He has been ordered bed rest.

A few of the military are looking surly. I am looking into options for raising morale. I will report on this later.

Also, I've heard reports of more ghosts wandering the halls of the fortress. Unacceptable. I have designated a spot mined out, where I can arrange memorial slabs. A Mausoleum also needs to be carved out.

I've also evaluated the military skills of our fortresses inhabitants. I've attached to relevant notes underneath.

Lol, two of our fighters with missing limbs. Interesting how they seem to have the best mental condition.
Can you post a pic of the hospital?

Also, what is a tactician?

[Karakzon]

thanks man ^^

seems its all going well. keep it up.

Done and doner.

As for what a Tactician is, I 'unno. 

[noodle0117]

Nice Hospital.
I usually just lump a bunch of beds in a single room and call it a hospital.
Guess I should start putting some order into my room designing.
Also, what exactly are you trying to dig out in the upper left corner of the pic?
It'd be pretty awesome if it were some kind of cave in trap for unwanted outsiders, although judging from the design I'm guessing its not.

[tryrar]

actually, it appears he's mining out an archery range, if I'm not mistaken. I personally don't go for archers myself, it can be hard to get them to actually shoot at the targets IMPE

[Neyvn]

There are ways to get them to train. Most of the time its because they want to do Melee training or something and you didn't set them up with an Armour/Weapon stand, so they go AWOL around the meeting hall...

[AnimaRytak]

Hey Karazhon got himself a title. 

If anyone makes a danger room, he's going in first.

[Karakzon]

lol.
thanks. whats the title?

dont belive ive ever used danger rooms in my own fortresses. as such, realy bad ass dwarfs are alot rarer than youde think, but when their propperly bad ass, they realy realy are.

as for the archery range: lining them up in a row and creating each as a room usualy works for me, though it uses up alot of bolts, do you think doors and hatches could be utilised to create a amno efficient range? ill have to try this eventualy.

[Impending Doom]

I didn't see germayne amontg the list of combatants. Did she not get to fight?
