Sign me up as an overseer please. This looks fun.

Just read this, and wanted to know if I could be put onto the list for overseers? I won't mess it up much.

The Elfs leave. They left through the caverns, and let in a small tribe of Troglodytes. TechnoXan got the stuffing beaten out of him, but the militia got there in time. Nothing was broken, but he had bruises all over his body.

Are you sure those were elves that came? Something seems a little off about that encounter. . .

Dwarves do not differentiate between surface elves and drow. Dwarves hate all elves equally.

Nah, Drow are ok guys, except for the times when they sacrifice people to their gods in bloody ways, kill anything that approaches them, and build pointless structures for no reasons. Actually, they are just like us, but are a bit taller, and call Armok a different name.

Glad a militia is up and running, no goat shall ever terrorize us again, no Crundle shall go unprotected, no one shall ever destroy Doomforests!! Could you please give the details on the strength of our brave army? 

There are 3 squads, 9 dwarfs in each squad: The Marksdwarfs, The Wimps, and the Elder Squad. The Elder Squad was there when I started, and is populated by legendary and master soldiers. The marksdwarfs are just starting training, but I did recruit them out of the local hunters. The Wimps are lead by yours truly, and will be entirely axedwarfs. They are all just about useless. However, when they reach legendary status, I would like some future overseer to rename their squad, and create a new training squad, called The Wimps.

I just made it to spring. Do you guys want me to keep going, or pass the save (I only played for 3~4 month dwarf time).

Is it possible to force FBs to attack each other? If it is, can be build a FB death arena?

Yes, FB's attack each other. In fact, 2 of them "fought". That is to say, one of them pushed the other off a cliff, and the one that fell had it's head break.

Ok, I am getting started. Priorities for this year:

1) Find some way to deal with the incompleate Magma Piston.
2) Get some marksdwarfs, and another squad of axedwarfs.
3) Kill the Vampire (Which has been sealed in the jail since my last turn, who knows how long ago).
4) Make some steel, and mine some candy.
5) Start a decent silk industry.
6) Reopen a path from Lower Doomforest to Upper Doomforest.
7) Cut down some trees (Never actually got to do that my turn. TAKE THAT TREES).



Timber 1st:
Work is progressing slowly. I am patching a few holes in the walls (That are open to the caverns). I am setting up a military tower outside, and it will look wonderful when it is done, with bands of cobalt, marble, and cinnabar, and spikes of microline. The miners are digging out patches of ore, and are carefully digging to the Adamantium.

Timber 4th:
The last ghost has been put to rest.

Timber 15th:
A steel floodgate has been placed in the Jail, to be used to contain magma. This will allow the efficient disposal of those that irritate the overseer (vampires, crundles, kittens, lawyers, etc). Candy mining has not yet started, as we are carefully mining of the area surrounding the vein to establish safe digging spots.

Timber 27th:
The first floor of the Guard Post has been complete, and the second is mostly done. The bridges leading to the post are under construction, with 3 done, and 3 more to go. When the building is finished, it should have 4-5 floors, and the equipment should be stored in the basement. I have ordered a mass butchuring of all unclaimed animals, as they are useless and taking up space (and fps).

Moonstone 1st:
The magma piston has been sealed: Some other overseer can finish it later. A marksdwarf squad has been recruited from the local hunters, and are training now.
Winter has arrived.
