Yes ;) I used it. My main DF setup now is the Masterwork Dwarf Fortress, for the added difficulties brought on by the additional monsters and races. But I have yet to design a fortress super-weapon, simply because the pipe mechanics are beyond my figuring out.

Don't worry, rescuing a fortress from nearly complete oblivion is half of the !fun!. I'm wondering what Dewboy is going to leave for me in this one, AND in Boltrinse. I find it funny, I get to complain about the state of two fortresses Dewboy leaves for me o.o. Though it looks like this one will be the most !fun!, unless someone beefs our military up. Boltrinse features a mysterious tanner who has grown attached to a crossbow, despite his, apparently, non-military status. I guess he's a hunter, but I haven't looked at the save file yet. When my turn comes, I fully intend to place him as head of a crossbow corps, iffen I can find him.
Warning, lots of RP will be found in my posts, which involves a very cranky dwarf that is a weird combination of Bruenor Battlehammer, Gimli, and a cranky wereass.

Thats weird that your after me in both fortresses. Im a pretty lax on crazy stuff, I doubt I'll kill this place. I'm going to beef up military in both forts. Can I use a danger room?
I have never used one, so my answer is a resounding yes. But use training weapons I'm the weapon traps.

Post by: sculleywr on June 19, 2013, 08:38:54 pm
Don't put weapons in weapon traps. (thats weird right?) use trap components. They work WAAAAAY better, especially large, serrated discs.
As traps, yes, as danger room things, stick with training weapons. Same training to defense, less likelyhood of beheading our precious dorfs.

I have another fort to manage, and this one looks even worse than usual. Ash littered over the ground (although the trees seem to be alright), dead goblins on the doorstep, dead dogs next to them. They even put a name tag on the body! “Letariicati” it says. Ah, more dogs, alive ones this time! Well we at least have enough guard dogs. But, what are you doing here with your pups? Get out of here yu scurfy dogs! AND STOP THROWING THINGS AT ME YOU STUPID DWARFS!!
And where is my office? What?! No idée you say!
Well, then I’ll take this office of some random planter. Why does he even have an office? He’s a planter!
Oh, am I the planter? I didn’t even know I could plant. Well, you learn something new every day.
AND STOP THROWING THINGS AT ME!! I WILL BUILD YOUR STUPID GRAVEYARD.
And why is there a random giant mushroom in front of my office? Chop it down!
And throw your tantrum somewhere else!
Pff, finally some rest in my office. Can’t I have a single second of rest in here!!??? What? A child killed someone? What a loser was that poor dwarf, losing against a child. But fine, I’ll convict him.
Some time later….
Wow, that’s one loud kid. Let’s block of the door and never speak about it.
Kidding.
What’s the matter with these kids by the way? All of them are or VERY angry or completely nuts or they are completely depressed! I hate this place already.
Some more time later. Why did anyone place cage traps? Now im getting spammed with dwarfs: WHERE IS THE CAGE? Because some stupid crow men ran into them.
With all these tantrums im going to build a little mine fort, just for safety…. GET HIM DOGS, HUNT THE SKULKING FILTH DOWN, THE SCURFY DOG! AND NO IM NOT TALKING TO THE DOGS!
Everybody seems happy EXCEPT the kids. Says something about the youngsters of these days.
octobomb: No beekeepers to be seen, most of the unhappy peeps are kids, thet are just puching eachother non-stop.
And this is going VERY slow. Played for an hour and im ALMOST out of the FIRST month. ( 30 FPS)
Im going to try to improve it.

Nah- I has better idea for HFS - seal it off and direct it outside of the gates. Byebye goblins! Then we let em in.
If we manage to build a self-sustaining fort, we could do that and have a continuing above ground defense force composed entirely of demons. We could chop trees in the caverns, run on farms, and booze production. Then we can sit back and watch vile forces of darkness and pissed off elves storm the gates only to be eaten by an endless horde of demons.

Apart from that, use Phoebus' tileset (I think that what is it called).
I still prefer ASCII than any tileset, doh ;)

use Phoebus' tilesetThis. Still learning the game and Phoebus eases me into the game before the graphics. My fort is doing quite well.
Edit: That said, that's still not going to stop me from adding Armok to the game.

Spring
I've just arrived at the fortress of Shakecloistered, where my king has sent me to live. More like die horrifically. Anyways, as I'm coming in, I notice that there is, in fact, quite a bit of blood splattered on the ground. One of the dwarves tells me it's from a hill titan. Rubbish, I say! Titans are just myths! They... They ARE, aren't they?
I looked around at what we had and I was appalled to see that we had no bookkeeper and no manager! This had to be filled AT ONCE! I've chosen a bowyer that had fairly little to do named 'Mosus Olengeb'. So far, this hasn't actually been that bad. Wait, the miners are doing WHAT? Well, evidently the miners are digging out a long, wide passage leading to nothing at all! I suppose I may as well let them get on with it, since there is not a whole lot that I need them to do right now, and they will begin to grow more experienced.
*Sigh* I've had some bad experience with nobles before, but mere minutes after I walk inside, they all start demanding that I give them better rooms! The mayor even has the beard to make DEMANDS this early!
You know, I thought the entrance actually looked quite nice. Then I looked behind the main gates. The land is turned to ash, only the occasional tree stands, and I think I see the charred remains of more than a few creatures.
Well, great. One of the kids just started foaming at the mouth, shrieking, and attacking dwarves. As much as I hate to do it, I think I may need to call in the militia.
It is done. The child is dead.
These owlmen are getting very annoying. I'm somewhat tempted to try and set up a squad of marksdwarves, if I could understand their rather suicidal tendency to run at the enemy rather than shoot.
GAH! Giant Gray Languors have invaded, and one made of with Kithaldumur! I've sent the military in full force to take them out! THOSE FILTHY MONKEYS WILL PAY!
Phew... They're all dead. In the mean while, I dug around the flooded caverns, and told the miners to start digging for the great Magma Sea. May Armok bless us with His Holy Fire!
The other two layers of cavern have been found, and in the third, a magma pool was present. I may begin plans soon for magma furnaces.
Ah, the Slate air has begun to descend. Spring is truly in its peak!
AHA! While walking through a layer of the caverns, one of the miners has found the magma sea proper! And he's not on fire, to boot!
Hmph! The goblins thought they could sneak in and steal from us! Of course, the war dogs took them down quickly.
Some miners have found some almost-melted rock. In the surrounding areas, we've begun strip mining, to see if we cannot find the legendary blue metal.
I have great news! We've found it! It's in the Great Magma sea, so it will be tricky to get it out, however.
Okay, I'm fairly certain that the Admantine is only partially within the GMS. I've begun mining on the side that is not submerged in magma. Soon, very soon, we shall have the single greatest metal.
We've begun extracting the admantine very, very carefully. Should a single miner dig even a Urist too far, then all four miners, their picks, and the admantine will be up in flames. The miners, the picks, they can be replaced. But the admantine? Damage the tiniest piece, and I will have your beard.
This is a sad day. A miner has been trapped by an unforeseen accident.
While mining, he accidentally uncovered a part of the magma from a lower part. This lead to it springing up. Luckily, it was only one. He is not dead, as the magma is flowing out of itself and then back in repeatedly. Plans have been enacted to try and save him, but the chances look grim.
We were able to rescue him! I've set up a Craftsdwarf workshop and I will soon have a forge ready for a peasant draftee-smith and the one dwarf skilled in strand extraction.
Unfortunately, BlackOctoberFox has been killed by an unknown dwarf. Our prayers are with him.
*Sigh* Migrants. More resource-leeching, complaining, idiotic dwarves. None of the look very useful. There is a pair of masons, a few fisherdwarves, and a Suturer.
Ah, felsite. It has to be one of my favorite months. It still has the crisp, clean aspect of Slate, and it's much warmer as well.
Hm. It would seem that a trader has come to trade with us, but we don't actually have a depot.
A couple of ghosts have risen from the grave. The aren't causing much trouble, but I would like to get them buried ASAP.
Oh great. I've started trying to make some admantine weapons, but guess what? The fortress has NO REFINED COAL! And then, when I went to refine some, I found that the fortress also has nothing to refine into coal! I've ordered the fortress to produce 30 units of coal to compensate.
Lovely. Just lovely. Apparently, I neglected to give orders to make the admantine thread into wafers. Honestly, if I hadn't seen it in action for myself, I'd declare that it's more trouble then it's worth!
Well, I've looked at the crimes that have gone on. Nothing had happened recently except for the mysterious murder of BlackOctoberFox, but I just decided to weave some wild tale about how a giant grasshopper came into the fort and killed him. The nobles ate it up and FINALLY left me alone about something.
And with that, spring has come to the close. Hematite has started.

Jail and new hospital with well, well is vital for operations in hospital, wound cleaning etc. Also both need furniture. Don't use copper chains in jail though, it is a very bad idea:

And my magnum opus, the Killing Pit. It has some design flaws, mainly anything with wings can get out without sweat but it still can be useful. This place is intended as a training ground for archers. Just post the archers around the fortifications and than drop enemies. Careful with enemy archers, they retaliate:

And our expanded forges:

And now the most fun part! Artifacts and Enemies!

And now for something completely different. Did you ever wonder why we never get caravans other than dwarves? Or why gobbos never visited? If yes take a look at these pictures:

And now something kind of relevant, I was thinking about making a spinoff Thread with me as a sole ruler of Shakecloistered. You know, to see how different the fort will get between me and other guys. However only challenge without goblins are Clowns. I could prepare to take them on and try to win but first i want to find out if others want to see this. Please leave a reply with your thoughts.

Also Killing Pit was intended as a target practice so using magma would remove it's value. Unless you mean as a clean up, than yeah it would be amazing.

That's all I ever aspired to in my life. Unfortunately in this hole in the ground, things have gone shaven beards and well now I seem to be in charge.
I have a mate. I've not seen them in years. At least the last guy had some sense and started dragging this place into order. He also seems to have left a to-do list a few miles long... if I can even put a full length to it. It's more like notes hammered to walls. Either way, they're notes, and they're a direction. I'll have to go with that. It doesn't hurt (or help...) that he seems to have left a lot of standing orders of cruft to finish. I'll assume he had a reason for it, so I'll let it be for now.

It's F6, do not unsuspend those orders though, it stops it from being charged with managed orders. Also I use manager a lot, kind of in character I guess since my dwarf is a manager, and a bookkeeper. And let's not forget the Baron as well. I love when everything goes according to plan. :D

Post by: sevenredreturns on August 22, 2013, 10:40:30 am
At least the people yelling me about iron are yelling about something I can actually deal with. I really need to deal with the efficiency of this place. That begins now. There are also people yelling about some sort of skinless poisonous beast. I checked the walls down there myself, and they are secure.
Spoiler: The poison (click to show/hide)
Step one: No more of this lugging everything about by hand. I know, I know, devices to aid us cost resources, but frankly, we're swimming in cruft after Exodius got the brilliant plan to buy an entire caravan on credit??? of course those will have to wait until the other forgework is done, unless I can step them up in production a bit. I'm sure he won't mind. I just... won't tell him. Not that I can hide much from our bookkeeper but I can try. At the very least making some barrows will hopefully increase our efficiency.
Step one B: It's almost as if the storage plan, except for the kitchens, is "shove things wherever you can". ... This needs to be fixed. I can find some rhyme or reason but we have people working in extremely cluttered workshops which only makes them work slower. On a hunch, I did see what was stored in our masons' shops. Piles upon piles upon PILES of stone blocks. HOW. More storage - PROPER storage. Designating a stockpile JUST for the furniture now - currently the furniture is lumped in with blocks of stone?? Nobody can tell what's what.
Spoiler: We have HOW many blocks in workshops?! (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Temporary furniture landing place (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: New storage rooms in progress (click to show/hide)
Step two: Minecart routes. I'm not sure I want to put in tracks yet, those are a good way to get dwarves killed and I don't have enough of a grip on this forsaken hell hole (by Armok's beard, I've never seen dwarves move more slowly in my life!) to try adn get them made at the moment. I 'll settle for the carts. That will at least let us move larger quantities of common goods. I plan on using that at least for ores. ((And may I not kill any dwarves with this. However I saw this method and it seems safe enough... seems.))
Step three: Try to get a good supply of bins forged so we can shove stuff in them so it can stop lying around everywhere, cluttering the place up.
Step four: Stop people from needing to run forever and a day to get iron bars! Actually that's going to become more of a priority or by my beard, I'll go mad.
Spoiler: Iron and Copper storage - one level above smelters and forges (click to show/hide)
Let's not even get into the hives the magma forges are giving me. It's almost as if they were plopped down whever there was some magma! I'll get our miners on helping me remedy this problem. That'll notch in well with trying to improve the efficiency of our smelting. Stopgap measure is adding another magma forge down there.
Step five: ... Do we even have any soap?! Not that I need to be bathed oranything, but the hospital needs it. If not...
Spoiler: Monkeys?! in MY farm?! (click to show/hide)
Of for the love of... What is it NOW?! Someone's barking at me that they can't store something because there's monkeys. I'm not kidding. Monkeys. That's about the time the screaming started, and before I really knew what was going on, those monkeys had killed someone. I thought we had traps for...
Spoiler: Guess what isn't in this? It's traps. (click to show/hide)
WHY DID NOBODY PUT ANY TRAPS ON THE PATHWAY INTO ARE ARMOK BE DAMNED OUTPOST?!
((ooc: I was actually wondering that, by the way. I'm to blame too, not seeing the weakness))
Spoiler: Hastily placed traps (click to show/hide)
I hastily ordered some be put there but of course. the monkeys scared off those who were going to put them in place. It didn't take long for me to turn the military loose on them. Thankfully, the monkeys managed to not outrun all of them. There are several dead monkeys now. though unfortunately, we lost a marksdwarf, one Thob. I ordered him to be buried in his section of the catacombs - there was thankfully many glass coffins free (Glass is a rather good coffin material. We can venerate our dead military, and more importantly, get a very good look at what killed them.)
However, I think, related to this issue... well...
Spoiler: Ghost. Ghost in our FOOD. (click to show/hide)
I engraved a slab to this weaver, because I have no idea where their body went because of course everyone here is too beardless to do a simple thing like KEEP TRACK OF CORPSES. By Armok's hiruste <selection looks crossed out> Things like that are what was killing morale before! That and corpses laying in the hallways, rotting.
Things seem to have calmed down some. There are some recovering in the hospital I didn't know we had upstairs.
Speaking of hospital, I had to corner Exodius and ask him if in the pile of cruft he ordered if he happened to get his hands on some soap. ... Which is the point where he found me and told me WE MUST HAVE AN ANVIL.
Spoiler: WHY do you need an anvil? (click to show/hide)
It's like he's trying to run the fort from the shadows. Besides... we... already have anvils? I think? Unless he wants his own made out of silver in his room? I might just do that. I at least did commission the anvil to be made. After I perhaps convince the military to take the occasional break in their training. I admire their dedication, but the constant sparring is giving me a headache. I really need to finish their barracks.
((OOC: Honestly the constant sparring KILLS my fps. I stopped the sparring, it jumped up from TWO to about 85.))
Spoiler: Barracks in progress - Spring is over (click to show/hide)
Beginning of summer note: I understand how using blocks is far more efficient than using raw stone. HOWEVER.

And I know it is annoying, I was hoping he will demand silver goods so you could make crafts and stuff but yeah.

Summer has begun and at least things are running more smoothly. I've started the project of clear the mason's shops of blocks - however construction has begun on a new set of crafting quarters. Plans are for a series of stockpiles in the floor adjacent so that there shall be all the materials needed at a moments notice to crafters. That at least should make things easier for these bearded idiots to make things more efficiently. Our current system of "workshops wherever we can make room" has got to go. I've always thought a ring system would work well and I'm excited to get to try it.
I have been checking who was on "feed and water those in the hospital" duty. Because those SHAVEN IDIOTS let someone die of thirst! By Armok's hirsute ballsack! STEP ONE in taking care of those in the hospital is GIVE THEM FOOD AND WATER. By Armok's beard. I'm surrounded by idiots who need a tour of the magma sea! After I shave you and knit a sweater set from every hair on your body!
I set the child to be buried... and shortly after that, an... unwelcome guest showed up. And unfortunately for me, it didn't show up in the caverns. It showed on the same level as our entrance. Fantastic. I hate the summer.
Spoiler: I Hate Summer. I also hate Rocs (click to show/hide)
Thankfully the Roc stood little chance against our military - in the end suffering from a terrible case of "warhammer through the brain", but not before it managed to kill one of our planters, Risen. He will be swiftly buried both out of respect and because I hate ghosts. The fact that the Roc even got inside was due to a terrible case of the military not being able to get up to the roof fast enough to prevent it from flying down there. This is because we have NO ROOF. Why do we have no roof? WHY.
Spoiler: Warhammers in the brain are generally fatal (click to show/hide)
That said, I focused my attention again inward. I really need to help solve the efficiency problem.
While I was focusing on getting the new workshop quarter set up A dwarf started running through the fort as if possessed! He claimed to have been struck by sudden inspiration.
Spoiler: A dwarf with an idea (click to show/hide)
I kept an eye on him carefully - I've known drawves taken by such moods to go mad. Claimed a craftsdrawf's shop. I'll have to keep a careful eye on him. While keeping an eye on him my attention was brought to the fact that many hallways and stairs were only wide enough for one dwarf to squeeze by at a time! That won't do. I've ordered much widening to occur after the crafting quarters are dug.
Spoiler: Small hallways are NOT efficient. (click to show/hide)
Thankfully the shop he claimed was relatively near the crafting quarters... but nowhere near the current wood storage. I am going to be moving the wood storage as soon as I have the room dug but for now our crafty dwarf is doing a lot of running up and down stairs to get wood. I've seen him grab three logs so far. And a couple gems. and some Copper. This had better be worth it. That's a lot of materials.
Unrelated to the general flow of summer, some incidents that I don't recall the timing for but I've noted down for the sheer fact that they confuse me greatly.
Our mayor has been hollering for bucklers. As soon as we got those finished? We're not allowed to export them. I... hope he enjoys his bucklers?
(Exodius is still yelling for anvils. I've COMMISSIONED FIVE.)
Spoiler: Enjoy the bucklers? (click to show/hide)
People are leaving their clothing everywhere. I'm wondering why sometimes, such as when on a standard patrol I find a pair of pants in the block stockpiles.
Spoiler: I did not need the thought of pantsless dwarves (click to show/hide)
... What was that dwarf doing with those blocks?

Also you can choose specific dwarf, many are listed in one of my reports, the one i did not finish to be more specific( Reply #161 on: August 18, 2013, 06:53:12 am ») If you choose one of them i can quickly incorporate you into Shakecloistered 1.5 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130203.15). Be sure to drop by but only if you are prepared for spoilers, and massive ones at that.
Warning: that list is most likely outdated by two migrant waves and/or several deaths.
PS I may try to stream DF today (24/08/2013) at 9pm British time. It will be my first real stream so if you are not afraid of weird accents please come by and tell me how does it look. Stream will be here (http://www.twitch.tv/exodius1).

Autumn has begun, and of course someone (I think Exodius?) brought to my attention that I completely forgot about the migrants. we've gotten quite a few these past two seasons, roughly 24, split in groups of 17 and 7. I frankly told them to do what they were happiest doing, and haul as needed. I figure if they're doing jobs they like, they'll do them more efficiently. Most of them have been, frankly, exclusively hauling, as part of my stockpile reorganization.
The artifact I mentioned last season is finished. I am speechless. Truly. There are no words to describe what a dwarf will make when... thus inspired. (Armok's beard would it be too much to ask for something useful to someone not below the age of three?)
Spoiler: It's... certainly an artifact (click to show/hide)
I will admit, however, while not a terribly efficient use of resources (I have no idea how he got that amount of material into that hammer but from the scraps I saw in the workshop, most of it was wasted), It is indeed well crafted. I hope he's good enough at crafting now that he can help make trade goods.
Work on the crafting area continues apace. I've scheduled one more floor to be dug out so as to have a good place to store finished goods. I've begun the relocation of hte masonry and the woodworking shops, as well as their requisite materials down to the crafting level. Furthermore, I've moved craftsdwarfs shops and jeweler's shops... mechanics workshops and I'm hoping we can manage to get some soap production going.
Spoiler: Beginning of the great crafters' move (click to show/hide)
The most exciting thing this season was the traders coming from the mountainhome, and not a moment too soon. I took the opportunity to purchase many metal bars we've yet to find in our mining. I also obtained more raw food materials to prepare more meals. Actually the traders are still here, in part delayed by the fact that our mayor kept deciding either sleeping or planting seeds was more important than helping procure goods we need to survive out here. What do I know? I'm just the Armok be damned overseer right now.
Spoiler: Traders waiting for our SLEEPING broker (click to show/hide)
I've also finally gotten around to at least getting the barracks finished. There's not enough room yet for everyone to sleep at once but they ahve a place to be other than in the middle of one of our halls. I've also been working on properly placing the floor hatches in the archery training pit. I still need to commission a lever for them but thankfully we have plenty of mechanisms in reserve for just such a thing.
Spoiler: Barracks and archery practice (click to show/hide)
Interesting trend noticed with beardless idiots requesting things to be made. They immediately seem to ban their export after I get it made. They must really like their things. Finally got anvils so Exodius shut up about it. Mayor wanted bolts, he got bolts, now he doesn't want them to leave.
End of season notes:
Someone's possessed. Seems to have decided to make something in the clothing workshop.
Spoiler: Possessed? Really? (click to show/hide)
Had to panic a bit and make raw green glass. All of our glass was made into blocks. Coffins finally finished. Now I just need to get the rest of the iron stuff made... which means we need to make iron faster. With only two smelters, it's very slow. Am expanding magma works to account for this. Hoping I can get that done by end of winter. Truth be told the area has not yet been designated. I'm still drawing up the plans. Part of what has gotten in teh way is they are built SO low that magma lakes are getting in the way of attempting to expand. I am hoping to raise the smeltery works up a few levels so that they instead just touch the tops of the magma sea.

I've focused inward a lot, in the new crafting area. All three floors are completely dug out now. I never got the opportunity to set up the minecart system I wished to. Truthfully I never got the chance to even start it. However the way things are current set up, we have a place for finished crafts, a place for furniture right next to it, There's room for more stockpiles, however I've not designated it yet, there not being a true need yet.
In the materials floor there is a stockpile for stones that have been determined to be useful economically, a section for wood right below the carpentry shops, a section for gems under the jeweler's shops, and a section for cloth below the cloth shops. They are not terribly full yet (Except for the stone) but I was planning for our crafting area to be able to expand easily.
I've also built at least one of most work-

I would but you see, Bladey over there murdered my ass, quite brutally to be honest. Making me go melancholic? Now, that is a bit unnecessary isn't it, why not build "A Fun Room"? You know with spikes coming of the ground and a nice lockable door to admire while your guts are sprayed over the walls? Just a suggestion.Hey, you took the position of Baron preventing me for being able to get that position. Anyway, It wasn't intended for you to go insane both in character and out of character.

The fortress is still pretty stocked on food and drink and shiny stuff.
The military have just pretty much polished their weaponry.
There may be a ton of furniture may have been my doing.
And enough coins to fill the pyramids with.
If you see the blood stains around convenient little holes dont ask.
Oh and Moleman is pretty much refusing to walk as of now so i dont think he will last much longer and sorry Bsnott im really not sure as to why you were recommend to EXECUTION. Pretty sure my rule was not that harsh.

You people know whats insane?The fact I have no idea on how to manage the miltia......But prepare for dwarves to fall and die while farming is abandoned and the dwarves work on my great burial chamber......And my great statues....of me...Duh...
:D
(Oh just a question.Can I use a texture pack or will it screw everything up???Its Ironhand 0.73)
Post by: PkGamer on September 22, 2013, 02:27:30 pm
Date: ??/Granite/141
Well here we go....Another try at getting me killed.Why do they always want to kill me?I am handsome,rich,powerful and....About to get much richer!!!
The fools thought they could force me to work?At a fortress?Where the dwarves probably only eat mushrooms?Well I say let them!
My plan is simple!Try and double the worth of the fortress!!!Or even triple it!!!How does one do that with a pile of stone and dwarves???
Easy!So easy!Create loads and loads of rooms.And smooth them and engrave them!!!Make every one stinking dwarve (except farmers etc...Duh noone wants to die) a stone worker.Couldnt be simpler!!!Also by making a great chamber for myself....(I told the dwarves its going to be for the King or whatever...And they bought it!)
So time to get started
And the evil part >:D....Let the former overseers join in the engraving!!!Its for efficiency of course...The faster the better.Every dwarve makes a difference.Well except me.I know absolutely nothing about stone so I would be of no use.Yes its better for my to watch and order them about!!!
(Note to self:Selecting the entire map for smoothing doesnt work very well and results in a really bad lagspike....)
Artistic sketches:
http://prntscr.com/1suuqz -Some of the engraving recruits :D
----------------------
Sorry my dear dwarves but I hope to write more but suddenly everything got frozen when I issued the command about smoothing!!!I feel evil powers are at work!!!
(Sorry but cant post anymore because of the lagspike....I might have to go back to the previous save if it doesnt unlag?.Until then I'm posting this)
----------------------
Its a miracle!!!I can move again!And issue commands again!
What a tantrum!!!In my fortress?!
http://prntscr.com/1suwpw -Some dwarves dont take kindly to a change of job? :D
And in case you kind folks are wondering:
http://prntscr.com/1suy92 -My chambers in progress.The room at the very top of the sketch is going to be my burial site.The halls will have pillars as you can see in my beautiful masterpiece of a sketch.
Note to self:DONT EVERY SELECT THE WHOLE MAP FOR SMOOTHING.Thats right loads of lag now and stuff but once they the dwarves are finished it will probably be all great.....I hope...
-------------
Now what kind of leader only cares for himself???Not me ofcourse!
Im creating a great housing project to house all the dwarves that will come here in the future! Two x one sized rooms!!!Thats right!!!Smoothed floors and walls!!!Great stone doors...And best of all...Great wooden beds!!!Isnt it great?!?!
Note to self: Stop overusing question and exclaimation marks.And stop waving your hands around while you read this to yourself.Its not these people will see and hear this great speech....Its just another
(Edit:Everything unfroze....5 secs after I posted...Ugh do i hate dwarf fortress for this)

Its another miracle!!!I actually managed to get them ALL working.How many people can achieve that?I have no idea...
http://prntscr.com/1t1gkw
The only person whos not working is me...Well I am in a way.Im ordering everyone around!!!
Also I decided to give myself a decend job:
http://prntscr.com/1t1hhz
That suits me...Ofcourse its just for the tittle and to be part of the nobilty but you nevermind that.
----------------------------------
Oh well I am really sorry to say this but someone went insane.I know it wouldnt be of great interest but...saddly...it was...one of the Moleman guys....
http://prntscr.com/1t1mrx
Now I swear this time I had nothing to do with it.I dont even know how he did go berserk.I'm just hoping he wont kill to many :/
----------------------------------
Also I swear I dont know how this happened to him:
http://prntscr.com/1t1o97
But I think he might be stuck in that tower thingy outside?
Oh another sad thing is his body will most likely rot up there when he dies from dehydration or something so I'll just make him a slab when he dies...

Yeah hes going to be kind of pissed at any command you do. Mainly because hes grumpy, oh and lost a leg and an arm. And his family and his bodyguards and by my guess someone probably peed in his beer as well.

Well its all the same.All the time.The lazy dwarfs seem not to want to work on smoothing the fortress.I think the humans call this 'lag'.
Anyways I had started minting coins.I don't know why.I don't even know how they work but I think I'm doing something useful for the future of this fortress....and my wallet!Now I need plantinium doors for the vaults inside my living spaces.
(My turn might take some time because smoothing the entire fortress all at once does not have good impacts on performance).
