BADGERS!

This save has too many badgers. Particularly since my entire fort relies on eggs and badgers have a penchant for wandering into my hatching rooms.

And thanks for the marble tip. Is there no aquifer in this corner, or do you know?

In the west part of the map, there is a small area that melts much faster than the others, I presume the aquifer is there. Haven't checked, but around the middle of the map, you'll have marble deep down, this I checked myself.

Hai

Right so I gave this embark a go. It's nothing really extraoardinary but there's iron copper and zinc, so I figure I'll set up a steel and brass industry. There's not to much ore though, so I'm not sure what industry I should be focusing on.
There's black sand so I could possibly produce lots of glass, but then I'm already dongn that in another fort. I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing here.

Anyway, I've been meaning to try something different on fortress location so I decided t carve out the fortress inside the magma sea. You know how people say everything is better with lots of magma? Well I don't know how I can add any more magma to this fort without !!fun!!.

I'm only one season in, but here's the first house block being dug out.

Year one:

Year one was pretty uneventful. The badgers mostly left me alone so I have been unharassed. I had two small waves of migrants for a total of 15 dwarves. I forgot to bring an anvil so I am only now starting to take advantage of the iron after the first trading caravan came through. I'm currently digging to try and find some flux so I can start equipping my 3 axedwarf militia with some serious steel weaponry. This is my first fortress with fishable water So shell crafts are currently my trading stock.

Built my trap funneling structure. Now to fill it with cage traps and begin collecting my uber badger army!

My housing is slightly prisonesque.

My workshop center.

My plans for next year involve fully equipping my militia with steel (if I can find flux) and building lots and lots of traps.

If I might ask, what exactly DF creatures did you keep in? Stranglers I've noticed from posts, but what about others like beak wolves, frogmen, etc?

[Lord Urist]

Well I haven't played df in a while, but this looks like fun! Right, here's hoping for fun and not !!FUN!! (tm)

[Captain Insano]

I don't know what you guys are talking about here. I have gotten no badgers AT ALL. Only moose men and some horses...

I know that beak wolves are also in for sure, because I have encountered them already. Not sure about the others yet.

There are giant badgers too. If any of them spawn above the river bend my fortress is toast.

ETA: There are also frogmen with giant badgers. I did not know of this, but luckily my bone carver knows her history.

My engraver knew that as well. In year the frogwoman name tamed the giant badgers of placename.

[Sane_Cow]

Sounds fun, can't wait to try it.

Sorry didn't know, My brother scolded me

Administrative Report
Treasureglazed
200, Autumn

The fortress has grown. Our militia is set up, all it needs is it's barracks, which is nearly done. The trade caravan arrived. We traded them many rock crafts encrusted with gems. Iteb, the Dwarf we traded with, seemed willing to trade. We bought an anvil, made of the finest steel. (Why didn't we bring one with us from the Mountainhomes in the first place? But I digress.) The fortress has expanded to a comfortable size, we have bought food and cloth from the caravan, which will depart in the winter.

Annual Report of As Shetbethdegel, Expedition Leader
We arrived at the location of our next fortress in early spring, as planned. The entire place was covered in snow, and the river was frozen over. Taking the opportunity, we dug down to the river and built the entrance to our fortress on the other side, adding a bridge in case the river melted. Once we hit stone, we carved out the usual stockpiles, farms, and pen for the animals, as well as a meeting hall and room for workshops. At this point, a Sasquatch attacked, killing a dwarf before it was slain by eight hastily-conscripted wrestlers. We struck tetrahedrite, and dug out an entire vein. Soon, we had two soldiers in full copper (hardly best-case, but better than nothing) with silver warhammers. Our entrance is guarded by six weapon traps, each armed with a copper serrated disk. Winter ends with the fortress at a population of 21.

Notes:
River will never melt. Do not worry about the bridge.
Badgers. BADGERS EVERYWHERE.


And here are the pictures.

The main entrance. The bridge is not necessary; the ice never melts here.

Animal pen, farms, and stockpile.

The main fortress. Meeting Hall on one side, workshops on the other.

Stranglers, Beak Wolves, Frogmen, and Tigermen.

@Everyone:
I'm glad that a spontaneous idea I had has taken off so quickly. Thanks, everyone!
Also, my brother (Sane Cow) has been taught the lessons of proper forumgoing etiquette. Don't worry about him
