A LOT of gold, yes. And one skilled metalcrafter. I haven't really been smelting it, the furnaces have been busy with melting goblinite/ettinite/gremlinite and smelting tetrahedrite.

What are you thinking of?

[Cheveux]

My first mandate, let me just finish thinking about the details and I'll edit this post.

EDIT : Alright, so I mandate the creation of an area entirely made of gold, the area would consist of a couple of bedroom and tombs with walls, floor and furniture (except for the beds) made of gold. The rooms and tombs in the area would be reserved for the metalsmiths and military. No need to make something huge, as long as it's made of gold, the tombs could be simple 1x1 rooms with the coffin in it and the rooms can be as small as you want.

[katana]

I don't like bedrooms, they stop people from being in the meeting area. Tombs n stuff maybe though.

We can't go on like this much longer. People keep getting hurt, and the military can't fight forever. Ezum was just killed by one of our own traps, she fell on it...
ugh. I'm reconsidering our defense now, the traps are a bit awkward for our military.
We've killed many, but we're losing this war. I'm sending a message to the mountainhomes asking for more dwarves. Hopefully the merchants survive long enough to tell the king. Ber, urvad's daughter, seems to have somewhat recovered. Then urvad (stonecrafter) starts acting a little strange. I just noticed the horrible quality of our water, I'm going to have some pumps created and make some cleaner water.

A merchant just went stark raving mad. I have no idea why... He was leaving and then suddenly he went crazy.

Then the water buffalo went crazy too. Then they just left normally.

Obok, planter, has given birth to a boy. The year's almost over and all we've done is lost people. Conan was hurt because of my stupid orders, ezum somehow got killed by our traps and her baby is now crawling around outside. While injured, Conan just gave birth. And the year ends with an ambush. Nobody go out there yet, let the traps wear them down... Just then, Conan decided to get up and start shooting. Then conan got shot. Repeatedly. And ran back to the hospital. I've got a broken ear and a cut hand, but I can still fight I guess.

And one of our babies was kidnapped. We have a reasonable amount of atyl, so I'm ordering a sword to be made for me. And the result was an exceptional quality blade. Perfect

Alrighty then.

[katana]

The military need to stay near the surface, and it's best if the metalsmiths are near the magma. Should I make two different areas?

[Dsarker]

No. Bring the magma to the surface!

[NRDL]

Can I be drafted into the military?  I don't think my dorf is doing anything else useful, and the more soldiers the better.  Just train my girl a bit first, please. 

[katana]

Actually you're our main miner.

But if you want, sure. What weapon?

[NRDL]

crossbow, please.  From what you've written, we fight a lot of ranged fighters, makes sense to have some snipers as well, right? 

[katana]

Counter snipers ftl. Conan was made into a marksdwarf, and instantly charged in with a cap iron crossbow. Crossbow is safer than the others, probably. A pick fighter would be pretty fun though!
But seriously, crossbows most likely won't work at the moment, there're very few places to shoot from safely, and it's not finished yet. Alright, I'll draft you as soon as we finish the water purifier.

EDIT: actually, sorry, we need a whip dwarf. NEED. Otherwise it takes forever to kill these giants.

[katana]

No. Bring the magma to the surface!

Later.

Well, we've been here for four years. Urvad (stonecrafter) finally began his work, he had been gathering materials for some time now. Earlier today, NRDL asked to be part of the military. She's now using a whip in my squad. Aaaand, a native gold earring!

"The spirits of heat" worth 866400. Wow. In other news, bim the dyer has replaced NRDL has broker.

Sibrek, our main noble, is now also mining, along with planting and being our main noble.

So many migrants. our military is four times what it was a month ago. And now, the elves arrive. Let's see what they bring. Ambushes aaaany time now. And NOW! Goblin swordsman ambush. Half of my squad doesn't have armor yet, so I'll just charge out with NRDL behind me. And also let's bring Urvad along. On second thought, let's not bring NRDL. Actually, might as well give the newbs live combat experience. Sadly, Thob, one of them, was badly hurt. And kib, who we never even saw out there.
That was surprisingly easy to take care of. I can see that  the elves have brought a lot of caravans. Here's why:
Jaguar x8
Cougar x8
Leopard x8
Wolf x8
honey badger x8
grizzly bear x9
black bear x8

As always, I'm ordering all the deadly animals, we need everything we can to fight the ettins. And then the ettin ambush. And then the vile force of gremlin darkness. Funnily, that "siege" was the least dangerous thing we'd fought all year. One of our tank spiders is helping Conan by webbing his targets.

Well, I think it's over for now. Two military dwarves are resting in the hospital, and tholtig the baby is pretty badly injured. But no actual loss of life... yet.

Hematite, 4
Well, cannon slug triplets. How nice. It's time to work on the great expansion of this fortress, right now we have very little. First of all, I think we'll start with the hospital/living areas. Right now it's a crowded 7x7 room. We can fix all this in these steps:
1: improve water quality
Run water through pumps and a multi-level storage so that we have cleaner water
2: Increase hospital size
Right now, everything's in a small room. Let's expand this.
3: Add more hospital storage
Add a food storage for easy feeding of the wounded.

I hope to have this all done by autumn.
First of all, I'm running the water through pumps into a multi level reservoir. Tholtig finally grew to be a child, and was treated. Oh and dsarker just became the mayor.

Malachite, 4
Having some issues with the water system. Dsarker gave birth! Woo!

Migrants!
Asmel, high master brewer (male)
Urdim, wood burner and expert marskdwarf (female) <-tank squad
Sodel, a weaver and presser (female) <- tank squad
Limul, woodcutter (female)
Dastot, beekeeper and furnace operator (male)
Sigun, bowyer and siege operator and consoler (male) <- tank squad
Ilral, potash maker and a very good fighter (male) <-squad C

And that was all. The tank squad is meant to be a marksdwarf squad that has some ability in melee combat, for use as mobile support. Conan's squad is for defending the entrance, while these guys follow the melee troops outside. Ilral's going to lead a squad with a hammer, possibly take on any children or something.
