So, I checked the votes, and beside a mountain won, let me make a world.
Here's the settings I used to generate the world
(https://i.imgur.com/cbJb7RD.png?1)
And Here's where we settling in
(https://i.imgur.com/AYyupfI.png)
It has some goblins nearby so, FUN is at least, guaranteed.
And finally, here's the supplies
(https://i.imgur.com/JCpf3Dy.png)
Let the story begin:
15Th of Granite
We finally arrived! Goddamit, I couldn't stand this travelling anymore! So, we're here by orders of the queen herself, she claimed that the dwarves being "hidden" in the underground would leave them too vulnerable so we "needed" an above-ground safe and strong claim, thus was born "MountainBreed". The name is quite ironic, as we're not delving into the mountain as usual...
So, upon arrival, this is what I can see:
(https://i.imgur.com/EXUSyNJ.png)
I immediately order some trees to be cut down and some plants gathered, we're gonna need those seeds ASAP. As everyone got to work, I remembered I dont know everyone in here yet, so I talked to everyone to find out what exactly are we working with:
Myself, "GPeter" - Just an ordinary Miner
"speciesunknown" - An Axedwarf who retired from battles, but did not retire his axe, he cut trees now, and does some casual brewing
"Kametec" - A Mason/Stonecrafter, someone who actually seems to know what he's doing at least, he'll be useful...
"comicraider" - A Blacksmith specialized in weapons forging
"Catten Monommorul" - A furnace operator who also does some Mason/Stonecrafting
"Dodok Stonducim" - Just an ordinary farmer/herbalist
"Dastot Loloketest" - Another farmer, but also a cook and herbalist
Anyway, even though we're not actually living in the underground (Still digesting that), we'll still use it a lot, especcially for mining, so I already got a little hallway dug out, wich will lead into the mines
(https://i.imgur.com/DbTQCQm.png)
Now that some trees have already fallen, I ordered a LongHouse built, we will build the closest to the mountain for now, maybe we grow outward later
(https://i.imgur.com/gywm4EW.png?1)
27Th of Granite
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE? I TOLD YOU GUYS TO BUILD THIS CARPENTER SHOP LIKE A YEAR AGO! WHY ISN'T IT READY YET?
(https://i.imgur.com/KxW5Np1.png?1)
Sir, we don't have any carpenters!
Oh... Fine, I'll do it myself then! Carpentry shouldn't be that difficult anyway...
Some days have passed, and people are complaining of the lack of beds, I told you guys I am a newbie in carpentry, dont rush me unless you want your bed to break itself apart during your sleep, It's not my fault that the queen did not send us a professional carpenter... anyway, we have built a dormitory, it just need some last touches on the roof, and a floor. AND, I already have plans of building a Tavern to store food, make booze and eat/drink it.
(https://i.imgur.com/dQwTUqb.png?1)
Between so many thoughts about the future of breedmountain, my greatest fear, one that brings chills down my spine just from hearing it came back to my mind... Lack of Booze. Luckily, we've got some plants which can be brewed, now I just gotta setup that Tavern... GUYS, WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO!
(https://i.imgur.com/vilGjro.png?1)
Within a record time, we put a Tavern up, and on Second floor, the Stills and Kitchens will work, and the Third floor will be the storage.
(https://i.imgur.com/gYQBCZp.png?1)1F
(https://i.imgur.com/I1n6KCI.png?1)2F
It is 7Th of Hematite right now, and IRL it's 01:26 AM (Brazil time), I'm gonna sleep right now, and later I'll finish my turn.
20Th of Hematite
Dammit, we're short on dwarfpower here, the work simply does not get itself done!
(https://i.imgur.com/GRQn8K5.png?1)
... I'll just shut up by now
We've got 6 extra dwarves, one of them being a Great Carpenter, thank god! There's also 2 farmers, one of them also being a doctor (Degel Allasrith), 2 Fisherdwarves (Useless) and 1 Great Potash Maker... Useless
The farmers will continue the way they arrived, I designated one of the Fisherdwarves as a our BookKeeper/Manager/Broker while the other will become a carpenter (Finally I can stop making barrels). The carpenter obviously will remain the same and the Potash Maker is now a furnace operator.
The BMB Office will be on the Tavern for now, we will build a real office for him later.
Now that I'm just a miner once again, I can finally start to do some digging, we're gonna need stone for blocks and also metals, we've got plenty of coal but no metal to forge... I just started digging and already found interesting stuff!
(https://i.imgur.com/GbYxYcG.png?1)
We have gold guys, trade will be good...
Now that we have an ore vein for gold and copper, I designated a furnace structure to be built below the dormitory (Just a house with room for four smelters and a stockpile on the second floor).
(https://i.imgur.com/FziH4OL.png?1)
I'm also building a Blacksmith Shop to house our forges. Comicraider!
Yes sir?
I know you like forging swords and axes, but I'll need you to forge some golden toys right now.
(https://i.imgur.com/v6yHRsF.png?1)
With all this golden toys industry going on, I just remembered we dont have a Depot yet, so I'm gonna build one. AND the dumbass here ordered the blacksmith shop to be build a couple tiles smaller than what I wanted... deconstructing is such a pain in the ass...
I gave priority to the Depot, It's early Autumm already, so the next caravan should be close. In a few days, that's the result:
(https://i.imgur.com/g5xAeHm.png?1)
Even though the blacksmith shop is not ready yet, a forge has already been built and "comicraider" has been giving us lots of golden crafts to the point that he's a now a Metalsmith instead of a Weaponsmith, dont worry buddy, soon, you'll be forging Sword, Axes and Bolts nonstop.
(https://i.imgur.com/En5JAlG.png?1)
Aaaand, they're here, exactly 4 days after the Depot got ready
(https://i.imgur.com/dnEzPGq.png?1)
For the next Overseer, I ordered more drinks and Iron/Bronze bars.
This is what they asked in return:
(https://i.imgur.com/JTezEKC.png?1)
Those few gold crafts that comic made have valued over 16800 Dwarfbucks, but the caravan didnt have much useful, All I bought was some extra booze, LOTS of food, from meat to fish and cheese, AND I bought everything I could that was made out of Steel, for melting purposes.
For the next Overseer of this place, we're making stocks for the buildings on the floor above them, except for this stockpile above the dormitory, that's the one I'm using to store everything I bought that doesn't have a dedicated stockpile yet.
(https://i.imgur.com/aocZOJT.png?1)
Unfortunately, all the steel bars we could get was mere 5 bars...
I've been having problems with the carrot seeds, we always run out of them. So I created a manager job "Brew drink from plant" that will repeat every time the Booze amount goes under 300, that should help keeping a steady supply of Carrot seeds, As the plump helmets that came with embark are almost gone, only 5 left.
(https://i.imgur.com/jpheJkZ.png?1)
(https://i.imgur.com/GRQn8K5.png?1)
Again... Not gonna complain tough, I kinda need the extra dwarfpower. 11 migrants, 10 dwarves and 1 dwarf larvae. I'll make good use of them.
With so many gold crafts that left with caravan, people will start to know that there's gold in "BreedMountain", I'm quite worried about this, we don't exactly have a defense... Actually all we have to defend ourselves is a retired Axedwarf with no armor whastoever! I'm getting at least 3 of the new migrants to the militia. species will train them, our new Axe Squad.
I also got someone to be a dedicated hauler, two more miners, an extra Mason/Stonecrafter, an Armorer/Blacksmith/Metalcrafter a cook and a brewer.
Say hello to out first military squad, The Blockaded Coalitions:
(https://i.imgur.com/juQWv7U.png?1)
Before they begin training, they need equipment. The steel we've got is enough for the three battle axes, but that's about it, so I'm mining some copper for the rest of the equipment...
Barracks built (Still needs a floor), everyone got an axe, a shield, a breastplate and a leggings, now train! Btw, the barracks are first walls we built from blocks:
(https://i.imgur.com/tguINZ3.png?1)
Winter is here, and I getting sick of being the leader of this place, I was talking to my friend Kamentec, and he agreed in taking over the leadership, but only once winter leaves... God only knows why... Anyway, there shouldn't be much going on this winter though...
I noticed the amount of animals we have
(https://i.imgur.com/ekguQLd.png?1)
So I set up a Butcher shop under the Kitchen to slaughter them, the Dogs will be trained as War dogs
(https://i.imgur.com/eLZpycL.png?1)
I also noticed that the last Bituminous Coal we brought on embark has been burned down, any extra coke we might want to use, will have to be burned ou mined, but we still have 309 coke availabe, so the next Overseer will have enough to think on a solution.
"Anyway, there shouldn't be much going on this winter though..."
(https://i.imgur.com/8pl4tbD.png?1)
Man... Kids these days... I'll just shut up already...
We didn't have a Craftsdwarf Shop (Kids on strange moods ALWAYS go for them), So I had to assemble one outside the main work area where our carpenters and masons are working
(https://i.imgur.com/Cy9UUs6.png?1)
Please don't give me anything useless...
(https://i.imgur.com/vo9NS82.png?1)
Surprisingly enough, It's not completely useless... Once we get nobles, this can help improve the quality of their rooms, Thanks kid.
(https://i.imgur.com/LH8RR3F.png?1)
Thus, A new year is born, and I can't be the leader of this place for not a single extra day, I'm passing the leadership to Kamentec...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's my turn everyone, here's the link for the save: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=13782 (http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=13782)
Download it if you wish but keep in mind that, Kamentec is the one in line right now.
Sorry, Breadbowl took me longer than expected. And after a very long waiting I have two saves at the same time. But I'll have the turn finished in time, I hope. Here, have a teaser of construction underway:
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/hill.png)
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/construction2.png)
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/snatcher.png)
I had a nice corpse pit built for him.
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/corpse_pit.png)
I couldn't decide what we need the most. I decided to go with two projects for the moment. We seem to have a goblin neighbours, so a wall will surely come in handy. And some housing for us wouldn't hurt either. I decided to start on the northern border. It is nice flat area. Apart from a hill and a bunch of trees. Nothing our woodcutters and miners cannot handle, I'm sure.
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/raw_plain.gif)
Migrants have arrived:
Zuglar Uzolkokeb, great beekeeper
Obok Stibmerfikod, great bone carver
Rovod Sefoltekkud, great fishery worker dabbling stonecrafter
Tosid Oslanalath, great clothier
Zefon Siknugkadol, great miner
Fatch Bothonlogem, novice farmer
Kogan Athelnosing, great animal trainer
Kaemurl, mercenary, competent macedwarf
Solon Regnazom, great presser
Oddom Zasitidek, great stonecrafter
Bomrek Tunomkivish, great bookbinder
Atis Kedzaneg, great woodcrafter
I can use them. It is going to get busy around here.
Dwarfs have taken the task with enthusiasm.
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/hill.png)
With the hill and trees gone, we can start building hour new homes. We'll need materials and lots of them. From now on, there are only 5 jobs allowed in this fortress. Each and every dwarf will be one of: miner, carpenter, mason, hauler, construction worker. No exceptions. When we run out of wood, I'll add a woodcutter to the mix. There are lots of work to be done and time is short. So I want to see a flawless workflow of raw wood and granite hauled to the workshops, there lots of blocks cut and then taken to the construction. Come on, we can do it!
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/construction2.png)
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/hard_at_work2.png)
blocks, blocks, blocks!
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/hard_at_work1.png)
Blocks! Blocks! BLOCKS!!!
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/wheeling.png)
Zoom, zoom!
Season change caught us hard at work. It is now summer and we're building like there's no tomorrow.
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/progress_l1.png)
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/progress_l2.png)
(1) Human caravan came. I was actually thinking whether I should mention it. They had some cloth, thread, food and booze, we had some spare golden crafts. Now we have some cloth, thread, food and booze and they have some golden crafts.
(2) I've been thinking about setting up justice system. With 44.10 around, I've seen tantrums being thrown quite often and I am vaguely remembering reading that sheriff/guards can cut tantrum spirals short. I'd like to verify it and so I want to see if I can manage to get prison standing before spring rolls around. As for the justice person, I'm thinking about Kaemurl, competent macedwarf. We have access to ores needed to smelt bronze, so bronze armor it is. But since he is going to hold special position, I'd like his equipment to be special as well. I've noticed a few (2 exactly) bismuthinite boulders in our stock and it occured to me: I'll have him wield bismuth bronze armor and a silver mace! I needed more bismuthinite, but I've read on wiki it is found in small clusters in granite. We are literally sitting on granite, so I've decided to do some exploratory mining:
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/exploratory.png)
And soon it was found!
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/found.png)
(3) One of our masons made an artifact quern. I wish she made a millstone instead, I consider them superior to querns.
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/artifact_quern.png)
(4) And finally, our outpost has been promoted and we now have to deal with a privilege of having a mayor.
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/first_mayor.png)
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/mandate1.png)
And total progress halfway through my turn is like this:
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/total_progress_summer_l1.png)
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/total_progress_summer_l2.png)
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/total_progress_summer_l3.png)
My goals are to:
- Provide housing to our dwarfs. Two houses are needed to accomplish that.
- Build a part of the walls. It is a project for multiple years and it would be superb if it gets completed before goblins come.
- Build a house for Kaemurl to do dwarven justice in.
After seeing my progress until now I've began to wonder if I can make it in time. I wanted to pass the save with my projects complete and made all efforts to build as quickly as possible. I'm having blocks made on large scale and the production can keep up with designations. But the building itself is the bottleneck. Every dwarf not busy hauling wood or stone or making blocks is helping with the constructions, but they cannot keep up. Let's see how much progress I can make during autumn and I'll decide what to do when winter arrives.
Autumn update is here!
Frantic work continues. We have guard station build with only roof to be done, captain of the guard appointed and a few prison cells set up. In order to do that I allowed production of bronze.
I've also decided it is time to make furniture. I've tallied what we're going to need and had work orders set up to make sure our carpenter, Meng, actually delivers everything I need.
I traded with dwarven caravan for food, so I don't have to deal with farming, I don't have spare dwarfs for that.
Here is the progress on furniture:
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/orders.png)
And the buildings:
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/autumn_progress_lm2.png)
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/autumn_progress_lm1.png)

(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/autumn_progress_l1.png)
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/autumn_progress_l2.png)
I've decided to go with underground cells with rough floors. Prisoners are going to make do with a masterwork bed and masterwork chain only. Also, some of the living rooms are already furnished and first tenants are moving in already.
Looks like I'll finish one house and finishing touches on the other one will remain for next person in line to do.
The final update:
Luckily, there were no complications during winter too. I have finished one of the houses. Now, with the exception of 3 babies, each dwarf has his/her own place to live. There were enough married couples willing to share a room so they all could fit in 48 apartments. (66 out of 69 dwarfs accommodated)
Guardhouse is finished too. Some cells need furnishing though, but all materials are queued for production.
The unfinished house has all materials ordered too. But it may take a while, production of all 765 wooden blocks needed may last a little.
I've been building the walls during the winter. Designate it and let the dwarfs to build it piece by piece. Simple enough, what can go wrong?
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/stuck_dwarf.png)
About 6 dwarfs in total got stuck. But they either went somewhere where they were flashing or got stuck after I took the screenshot and I forgot to SC them again, I just cannot find them on any picture.
Now that it has come to this, I decided to add scaffolding. If left to their own devices, the dwarfs would finish the construction eventually, but it would be too late for the dwarfs stuck on ramparts. Scaffolding will add total workload for the dwarfs and increase total time needed to finish the construction, but it will allow to save the stuck dwarfs before they die of thirst.
And it worked. Some of the scaffolding is constructed and the thirsty, hungry dwarfs were able to get down. Now here is the total progress:
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/winter_progress_lm2.png)
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/winter_progress_lm1.png)

(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/winter_progress_l2.png)
There is training area for Fortress guard (The Caves of Righteousness) designated in the guardhouse. Also, I like to build stuff from blocks!
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/details.gif)
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/downtown.png)
And finally, list of our dwarfs:
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/unit_list.png)
As for the walls, I planned to make the walls roofed and towers open air, but I didn't make it in time. Next turn is Ququasar's I think, so it is your call. ;) You have plenty of building materials at your disposal:
(http://kametec.housen.cz/img/df/mountainbreed/t01/blocks.png)

Another capybara herd arrived. I vos vaiting for them zis time, und our axedvarves vere qvite ready to slaughter the HORRIBLE, EVIL LITTLE BEASTS.
A dvarf by the name of Olon has silently seized a metalsmiths forge. He is an adequate armoursmith, und has procured bronze for his mastervork, zo I am qvietly optimistic.

Alrighty then, time to finish up this turn. First things first, meet our new dwarves:

Big Cheese. Our legendary mason, creator of Shagogakith "The Static Wrath", a granite quern. Personally would just as soon have nature and the great outdoors burned to ashes and converted into a great mining pit.

Deler's near fatal run in vith the minotaur convinced me that ve need to further expand the military. If Kadol had not been there, our PATHETIC, UNDISCIPLINED SWORDDVARVES vould not haf made it in time, und our best brewer vould haf been gored to death, or votever it is minotaurs do to their victims.

Some might say a militia of 80 in a fortress of 109 vos overkill. Those people are PITIFUL FOOLS. Zere is no such thing as overkill vhen it comes to the military.
Deler (not Brewer Deler, another Deler) started screaming madly about a clothiers shop in the middle of the dining hall. Ve built him von, and he claimed it and immediately started screaming madly about silk cloth.

Vell, that's not too difficult. Ve vill open the caverns briefly. Nobody hear knows how to veave, but ve can learn.

Deler claims the silk cloth and continues screaming madly vhile ve collect more thread. Vonce he has two units, construction on his masterpiece begins.

It's exactly as much a pile of VORTHLESS SPIDERDUNG as expected.
The remainder of the year passed uneventfully. Ve vorked on ze southern border, constructing granite und orthoclase valls atop the cliffs ve had dug to protect ourselves.
(https://imgur.com/GJ9RwOS.png)
Ve also built a bronze drawbridge, und installed the lever for it in the new dining hall.

Speaking of vich, Mountainbreed is now self-sustaining. Ze food production area vos a GLORIOUS SUCCESS.

But not nearly as glorious as my true legacy as overseer! SIXTY DISCIPLINED DVARVES, trained in the NOBLE ARTS OF BLOODSHED. Zey vill fight und die upon the battlefield vit no remorse, nor regret for the lives they must take in defense of their home! They vill instill FEAR UND PAIN, in Mountainbreeds enemies! A glorious army, bringing death und destruction forevermore!

Save file is here:

A few out of character notes:
* This character came out a lot more sane than I was expecting her to. I was planning to completely cripple construction/production work and draft, arm and armour every dwarf of the fortress, but there was too much still to do. Regardless, I did manage to get weapons into the hands of 80 dwarves, 50-60 of them are trained and 20-30 are decently armoured, so not a bad result.
* Both entrances are way too close to the border. A siege or titan spawning at either one would be inside the walls before we realized what had happened.
* Our only brewer is barely proficient, so while we haven't actually had any drinks shortages yet, we're not in a comfortable position booze-wise. Got plenty of food, though.
* The place is horrendously inefficient. That's mostly my fault: I turned all our haulers into recruits and as a result had to delete a bunch of stockpile links to get anything done.
