ya know what this coming fortress needs? a stone stockpile. not a quantum stockpile or a dump tile, but many 31x31 rooms filled with stone. made in a stone layer so that they start half full. this will be my contribution to the fort.

Snow, a mechanic.
Thob, a miner.
Udil, a gemcutter architect.
Urvad, a brewer cook butcher.

zombies climb 1z tall walls? I played it forward a few days, and the siege is real and coming our way. However, they are slow and ought to have no problems getting everyone inside and sealing the gates. We might need to use a burrow to get everyone inside the gates. If the zombies climb the walls, which i don't think they do, the inner gate will still keep them out, but we'll lose all the turkey, wood and farms. Plus that refuse stockpile right there will provide a horde of baby turkey zombies. that ought to be fun. I'm really excited to see how this pans out.Damn, this must have taken a shit tone of time.

The tale of the mechanic
My name is Snow, I'm a mechanic of the Hamlet ((It says we are actually a hamlet)) Konadurist - Banddaggers.
It's 11th Slate (Mid-spring) 251 that I'm writing this. We are under siege and we might soon die.
We thought the walls would keep them out, but it was the foolish young dwarfs who brought them onto us. They started climbing over the walls to prove their bravery and kill a few of them. They could have helped with making mechanisms for traps that would kill the undead, but no. They had to go kill them themselve. Once they brought the zombies close enough to our defenses, the undead started jumping off the walls into the fort. Arrows started flying and I decided to call everyone inside. In the chaos nobody cared that I'm just a mechanic. In this situation I was declared the overseer.
Post by: snow dwarf on April 14, 2017, 09:04:02 pm
Chapter 1 - The Berserker
Only two undead jumped over the walls, but it was enough. We ran into the fortress and I shouted to close the gate, but that's when he came. Rage could be seen in his eyes. The dwarf with a strange mood went berserk. He started beating everyone trying to get into the fortress. I was inside the fortress already when this happened so I decided to pull the lever to the gate. I run around all the corpses and fighting dwarfs and finally reached it. It wasn't however before the two undead got into the fort and slaughtered most of our population. We are down to 8 dwarfs: Zazq, Imic, a miner, two farmers, me and a child.

Chapter 3 - I found them
A few days passed by from the cataclysm until on 16th of Felsite, I found them. Zazq and Imic were walking around the fort. They told me they were looking for me and any other possible survivors. They took me to, what seemed like our new meeting hall. There were two other dwarfs there. One of them is gonna die soon from his wounds. The situation looks grim, but together we can survive.

Post by: snow dwarf on April 15, 2017, 01:14:39 am
The end
I can hear it's steps coming and I will join my friends soon. We foolishly opened the doors in hopes of regaining more of the fortress and instead our end came.
The floor is engraved here:
Go tell the dwarfs, thou that passest by,
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.
And here ends the awesome tale of Banddaggers.

Autumn 125
Accidently breached the caves, also revealing a downward passage. Not being ready for that nonsense, i just walled it off.
So it was a very uneventful year. No moods, no strange things. Now its spring, and here’s your undead siege right on schedule. The turkey eggs are all forbidden, and if they don’t hatch by summer than we have a problem. The bees are all set to not harvest, and should stay that way until all hives are occupied. The top gate is sealed, so you can probably just ignore the siege. The lever is on layer 1. If you want to fight it, there’s some bone armor. We need only about a million more bags.

Spring:
5th of Granite: started building a workhops for smelting, seeing as we have plenty of galena to mine. Hopefully we can make some decent things with the metal down below.
11th of Granite: A bunch of troglodytes have spawned, hope they don't cause too much trouble.
26th of Granite: built a lower floor, just for rooms we will need, such as a barracks for out future military.
7th of Slate: No hatched eggs yet, or migrants
16th of Slate: The future Military has become our current military. I've drafted 2 Speardwarfs, 1 macedwarf and an axedwarf to be our guard and to train in their spare time. I've also created some iron weapons with the smeltery I made.
23rd of Slate: Migrants, here's who we got;
1 x Wax worker
1 x Weaver
1 x gem cutter
1 x cheesemaker
1 x Papermaker
1 x Tanner
2 x Traders
1 x Armorer
1 x shearer
1 x Child
1 x Hunter
1 x Glazer
1 x Carpenter
1 x dyer
1 x stone crafter
2 x Mason
1 x Mechanic
so yeah, Our fortress just doubled to a total number of 33. I'm not sure if this is good or not. Probably not because i'm not too optimistic about our food supplies.
8th of Felsite: Building a hospital because we
22nd of Felsite: A warebear arrived. I'm not expecting the best...
24th of Felsite: 1 mason was killed and 4 of our dwarfs were bitten, I've managed to lock them in our hospital for now but this is a pretty terrible outcome.
I'll continue the fortress tomorrow

"this is a pretty terrible outcome"I say that, it could be worse. That huge migrant wave we got means we have all the replacements we need and all the warebears are trapped in one room. The only things we really lost were some iron weapons (replaceable), 1 dead dwarf (very replaceable) and a room full of beds (also very replaceable)

10th of Hematite: A human caravan has arrived, yay
11th of Hematite: Farmer John is having a strange mood, this probably won't end well
13th of Hematite: John started the construction. It'll probably be a terrible artefact anyway
17th of Hematite: Got a ton of food and cloth and some weapons from the traders. No use buying armour from humans
18th of Hematite: Farmer John finished his Artifact, a wooden sceptre worth 6000. Pretty terrible for an artifact but at least he didn't go insane and try to kill everyone.
20th of Hematite: We have 2 Warebears, if anybody wants to do anything with them, go ahead, but they're staying locked behind a wall for now.
25th of Hematite: As if today wasn't bad enough. A Giant Cave Spider has Spawned
5th of Malachite: GCS has been killed and some migrants arrived:
1 x Beekeeper
2 x Traders
3 x Children
1 x Miller
2 x Gem Setters
1 x Fisherdwarf
1 x baby (born during wave)
Pretty big wave of useless plebs. I'll try drafting them
27th of Malachite: built a memorial room, to mourn our dead.
6th of Gelena: I tested our militia on a group of troglodytes. overall, we did pretty well, only one injury on our part. We may need some iron armour to help with that though
15th of Gelena: Finally made some soap, Now we don't need to worry about infection for now.
Pretty boring season mostly, besides the mad cavern killings. I'll finish off the year tomorrow.

What happened to the were-bears?They're still locked in the old hospital. If you want to do anything with them, all you need to do is mine out a square. There's 2 of them so if you accidently kill one, its not the end of the world. I am grateful that the other 2 bite victims left the hospital before I blocked it up and didn't turn though.

15th of Limestone: dwarven traders arrived time to buy stuff
18th of Limestone: turns out electrum crafts are really good. Got a ton of food, weapons, armour and cloth.
19th of Limestone: Migrants:
1 x Fish dissector
1 x Peasant
1 x Metalcrafter
1 x Woodworker
1 x Weaver
1 x Soapmaker
1 x Miller
1 x Potash Maker
1 x Trapper
1 x baby (wtf is babies being born during migrant waves)
total dwarfs up to 49. I think we can make another squad now.
9th of Sandstone: I'm digging out some deeper levels. I've also built some cage traps in the opening to the caverns. Just so a GCS doesn't just wander in and kill everyone
13th of Sandstone: Captured a drathla, we have no room for it to graze so i'm putting it in a slaughter room
26th of Sandstone: Turns out cage traps don't work against giant bats. Time to build a drawbridge
4th of Timber: we desperately need to find an underwater water source. During most of the year we have nothing to use for our patients.
9th of timber: Atrifact time
15th of Timber: (http://i.imgur.com/91pgKOE.png)
20th of Timber: There may or may not be 2 dozen dead troglodytes in the caverns. On a somewhat related note our militia is pretty awesome.

12th of Moonstone: Found an underground cavern with plenty of water... And cave swallow people.
15th of Moonstone: Our injured wax worker was saved from dehydration just in time. Yay I guess
25th of Moonstone: I somehow managed to trap a troll. I'll have to fix that with a steel mace.
6th of Opal: We are currently being harassed by a GCS. We break its legs but it keeps coming back. It hasn't hurt or killed anyone yet but it is annoying
23rd of Opal: Built some noble rooms. They should serve for when we get a mayor
2nd of Obsidian: captured a GCS. Should I tame it or butcher it? Up to you guys
11th of Obsidian: More troglodyte killing. I can safely say that we have a pretty awesome squad right now.
15th of Obsidian: A mason has been possessed. Probably won't finish before spring but i'll let her try.
24th of Obsidian: (http://i.imgur.com/uQ8UzvZ.png)

Looks like a second pasture was dug next to the turkeys. The bees are all full up and ready for production too! The farms look like they haven’t been used all season… Well we’ll fix that!

Looks like the dining room got expanded and then sealed off due to werebears. No wonder nobody uses the dining room anymore, what with the roaring and savaging of instant death 1 block away… Food and drink piles look in good shape, and there’s a mystery room dug just to the east of the still and kitchen. I wonder what that’s for…

The dormitory has been expanded, and there’s a finished goods stockpile next to the everything stockpile that also accepts finished goods… that’s useful. The quantum stone stockpile seems to still be functioning. AND LO, new rooms have been added beneath!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
There’s a barracks with nothing in it on the left, a wastefully wood powered forge to the right, and yet another dormitory to the south. Below that is some undesignated beds. WHAT A BARRACKS?! We have a military? We do! 10 strapping young dwarves with a variety of weapons. They aren’t training though, and i don’t think they have armor, but hey that’s something right?

Next layer (-13) has a tavern and workshop area, and a hallway into the dreaded and terrible caverns. There’s some unused rooms under this, and the central stair just keeps going down and down, breeching probably the second and third cavern layers. There doesn’t look like there’s anything stopping big nasties from just waltzing in from the caverns other than our unarmored, untrained military.
I’ve got my work cut out for me.

Also I deselected the hospital, so if you have an injuries on your hand, the hospital and a ton of soap is all next to the expanded dormitory. The lower rooms are for any new projects or just for the nobles.

I noticed a traction bench in the undesignated bed area layer -12, and decided that it’s trying to be a hospital. We have some dwarves who’ve been wounded from their dreaded and terrible cavern escapades, so we need a medical bay. It has been designated. It looks like a bridge was being placed to close off the upper cavern entrance, but it turned out to be a retracting bridge of uselessness instead of a raising bridge of unbreachable tenacity. It has been rebuilt and attached to a nearby lever.
An underground refuse and corpse stockpile has been set up in layer -1, with an atom smasher right there too incase thing gets to stinky. Our first mead has been brewed! OH YEAH MEAD!
OH NO FORGOTTEN BEAST NGOPEX!

Turns out there’s more than one entrance to the caverns, and he just charged right in and started eating dwarves. Luckly, however, he was a pushover. Our untrained unarmed military got him. More effort will be put into sealing off the caverns. 3 mooks were killed in the attack. Now there’s a troll in the fortress too… I’ll seal off these dreaded and terrible caverns if it kills me.
On the first day of summer a human siege arrived. Well, so long as they can’t get into the caverns, i can just ignore them. So i will. A bridge and lever have been installed on layer -83 to seal off the entrance the forgotten beast used. There seems to be another way in just to the north though. That one now has a bridge and lever on layer -80. Everything in the caverns and surface has been forbidden. Finally, i might have a chance to focus on what’s really important…
BEHOLD THE LIBRARY OF YELLING! HOLDER OF ALL KNOWLEDGE AND DOMINATED BY THE MAD AND VINDICTIVE ZAZ QUELL, COMBAT EPISTEMOLOGIST!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The human siege left at some point when i wasn’t paying attention, and now the dwarven caravan has arrived. In their esteem for our great fortress, they desire to elevate us to an official land of the realm. I nominated one of the wearbears for promotion. The dwarven outpost liaison appears to be a goblin named Iton Iridmeng. I wonder what’s up with that. Anyway, i bought the entire caravan for a handful of electrum scepters someone was kind enough to forge for me. The junk stockpile will need to be expanded to hold it all. Also, the dormitory has been expanded and Derpy Dev’ified.
We now have a werebear for a baron. He’s a bearon. Get it? GET IT?! BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA! Anyway… it took the rest of the winter to get all those trade goods back inside. Dwarf Me hasn’t written any books yet, so we have nothing in our library except 100 blank quires. I have high hopes for him. The surface is sealed off, the caverns are sealed off, the food and drink supplies are ok, and we’re producing masterwork electrum goblets.
GOOD LUCK!

Just don't start yet until I do a writeup (probably tomorrow), because we might have a werebear breach problem and a few holes in the fort. I played only till autumn, but there was a lot happening.
Note to self: Don't try to weaponize werebears while there is a zombie breach outside.
Post by: snow dwarf on May 16, 2017, 02:55:49 am
One of the werebears is dead, but there is another guy who might be infected. I named him "maybe werebear". The other werebear is lurking somewhere around the fort. Zombies came and a forgotten beast came. We've got holes going from the werebeast room a few z-levels down because the roof collapsed while I was trying to make a booze dropper for the werebears.
Full update coming later.

3rd of Limestone: ok, I've identified the warebear. Now to try and lock it up. Since it has that feature of "REGENERATION AND MURDER EVERYONE IF IT EVER GETS FREE" I can't use the hospital trick that I like to use (and used before) on it so if I can't get a bedroom for it made in time i'll have to kill it.
4th of Limestone: Our last leader told a miner to mine out a chuck of rock floating in mid air for... some reason. It caused a cave in and killed a dwarf. RIP
11th of Limestone: Someone made all the doors forbidden. I undid that
14th of Limestone: none of the "maybe warebears are warebears, the one that was though is dead without harming anyone, told you my militia was awesome. Now time to go kill the FB
16th of Limestone: because someone blocked off both our water sources, another dwarf has died of infection due to the cave in.
17th of Limestone: Because someone also put ALL THE LEVERS ON FORBIDDEN, I can't open the door to the underground to do anything. I'm assuming another 5 dwarfs will die to the infection now as well.
17th of Limestone: production on making a NEW lever has been delayed due to someone making the brilliant decision to create 300 rock doors and assigning everyone on masonry and hauling.
25th of Limestone: The forgotten beast is dead. Harmed and killed no one, total dwarf count is at 41.
I'll have to stop there for today before I tear my hair out in frustration. I don't know what the hell happened between Zazq and snow dwarf but the warebears and the siege are the least of everyone's problems. The fortress is a goddamn maze, useless orders everywhere, lack of any resources due to forbidden bridges and levers, Deliberate cave ins.
I'll come back and finish the year in a couple of days because jesus, it's a nightmare.

How do you guys think I should get rid of that undead seige we have. My own idea is use a ton of cage traps and a long hallway but what do you lot think?
Post by: zazq on May 20, 2017, 08:29:58 pm
So why are you complaining about the forbidden levers? Each of the 3(?) entrances to the caverns are sealed via drawbridge and each has a lever to open it placed very close by on the same z level, and i'm pretty sure they have (N)otes left of them to indicate. just mass claim the lever and it should be in good shape to open the bridge and let forgotten beasts into the fortress.
I could have sworn we had a well somewhere.
do you like the library?
and can we PLEASE weaponize the wearbears? i really want that. Flamehorses has weaponized necromancers and this one needs werebears.
Post by: Alpha Loves You on May 21, 2017, 04:20:33 am
The forgotten beast is dead too, it went the same way.
I'll try Leroy Jenkins the seige since you suggested it. I was planning to use a long underground walkway with at least 50 cage traps but if you're right, or militia might be op enough to win. We'll see.
Also Zazq I think your dwarf actually wrote something. I was distracted by large parts of the fortress caving in but we have several codex and books now so maybe he got to work.

3rd of Sandstone: MIGRANTS!!!
1 x Weaver
1 x Trader
1 x Fish Dissector
1 x Shearer
1 x Cook
1 x Gem Cutter
only 6 but it's something. total dwarfs now stand at 47.
13th of Sandstone: We have plenty of Steel and Electrum so i'm using them to kit us out with some steel weapons and some electrum crafts.
11th of Timber: I've elected that half of our kittens and puppies are to be slaughtered. Nothing personal, we just have a lot of them.
13th of Timber: A mook has been possessed, can't wait to see how this will get us killed.
19th of Timber: (http://i.imgur.com/TemKQGm.png)

4th of Opal: Just an update to say nothing's really happening.
19th of Opal: I forgot to close the door and I accidently let a Troll inside :-[
Good news is the new squad proved once again that they can murder trolls without and injury.
6th of Obsidian: I may have let about 50 turkey eggs hatch.... I'm petitioning we rename the fortress "Turkfortress" because there's more turkeys then dwarfs now.
12th of Obsidian: We will now commence the annual tradition of killing a metric ton of Troglodytes. The new squad are doing pretty good at murdering them too.
And that concludes the year
Sorry nothing much happened this season. We do have plenty of food, metal and turkeys so we have plenty o prepare us for whatever comes next year. Here's a picture of our stats:

Zaz Quell looks up from his book. What? You need me to run the fortress AGAIN?! I JUST DID THAT! No, that was 2 years ago wasn’t it… well fine. How bad could it be?
(http://i.imgur.com/7BJy5Ob.png)
Corpses. Corpses everywhere.
Reading the overseer logs, i see that our last one had a very hard time understanding the layout of our fine fortress, so allow me to assist.
Layer 00: The surface. It's got trees and a frozen river, the trade depot, and a stairwell with an invisible retracting bridge over it. The lever for the bridge is on layer -01. There seems to be a secondary entrance to the south. Don’t know what’s up with that so i sealed it off with a floor.
Layer -01: Soil. Has the lever that operates the surface bridge. This seals off the entire fort from above. Also a corpses/refuse stockpile and atom smasher with nearby lever to smash the trash. Pretty simple.
Layer -04: Fire Clay. North is 2 farms with seed stockpile. East is a bee area, with honeycomb stockpile and screw presses. South is wood storage with carpenter workshop. West is turkey boxes and an animal pasture full of dogs and cats.
Layer -09: The Library of Yelling. Also querns, presses and a craftdwarf workshop used for making more quires. We have no written objects. Probably should do something about that.
Layer -10: North is the food only stockpile. East is the empty barrels stockpile, kitchen and still. Further east is a room for assorted workshops. South is a rather unused dining hall. There appears to be holes in the floor due to some cavein. I’ll patch those. West is the drink only stockpile.
Layer -11: North is the quantum stone stockpile, that appears to be broken. I’ll fix that. Also mason and mechanic workshops. South is the Derpytec Bedroom Complex. West is the mostly everything stockpile. Goods, furniture, leather, cloth, armor weapons ect all go here.
Layer -12: East is an inferior wood powered forge and smelting area which we shouldn’t use. South is the hospital, which could really use some help. I’ll fix that. West is the crappy barracks.
Layer -13: South is the tavern, which is overrun with visiting humans. We got like 30 in there. I’m considering having the military slaughter them. West is a noble room for our leader, followed by a room full of coffins, followed by our first entrance to the caverns. There’s a bridge and lever right there to open and close cavern access. We should try to only use this entrance i think, and keep the others almost always sealed off.
Layer -32: a walled off former entrance to the caverns.
Layer -80: an entrance to the caverns with bridge and lever.
Layer -83: the final and lowest entrance to the caverns with bridge and lever.
The lakes thawed while a mook was walking over it and he drown. :(
It is now summer.
Do we have native aluminum deposits here? The mayor wants an aluminum throne… The human merchants came and didn’t bring any aluminum. I bought a few of their books for our great library. In our refuse stockpile appeared a XX=peach wood bed=XX. How does that even happen? You can’t use up a bed! Spent all summer pretty much sorting stuff into stockpiles and trying to cut down on all the corpses…
It is now autumn.
The dwarven caravan arrived, complete with their goblin outpost liaison Iton Iridmeng. Hmm, i accidently ordered every object to the depot. Better fix that. It involved deconstructing the depot with the traders in it. They probably didn’t like that. The sheer amount of junk we got out of this more than makes up for any sorting and stockpiling i did. We now have more unsorted junk than ever.
We now have a well on layer -79. That’s the perfect place for a well.
It is now winter.
The forgotten beast Atoz Xug Ostrur has come in the caverns. He can’t get in. i’m going to ignore him.
Oh my god. The hauling. It is finished. The dwarves as socializing and playing music. There is no more stone to haul, no more bins to fill, no more corpses to throw in the smasher. It's all done… everything is… sorted! I DID IT!
With a whoop and a cheer, i return to my library. Maybe i’ll write a book some time in the next 2 years…
SAVE: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=12927
The surface bridge and the uppermost cavern entrance bridge are both open at this time. We also have a new trade depot made from electrum bars because why not. Right now everyone's smoothing the tavern, but that shouldn't take more than 1 minute more. Now that the fortress is sorted and on its feet, we need a mega project. One probably involving caverns. Shall we move the entire fortress into wooden buildings in the caverns? become cave elves?
Post by: Alpha Loves You on May 24, 2017, 03:02:03 am
And is the forgotten beast difficult to kill? Is it made of iron or does it have a Web attack?

Looking at the title, do you need players? In all my years of being a dwarf fortress player I have never done a succession fortress but I'd be happy to give it a shot.The guys have been popping out turns like crazy, but I always take at least a week, so don't worry.

having up/down stairwells horizontally adjacent to other up/down stairwells is known to cause pathing hiccups (lag is bad).
The DerpyTech Bedroom System is an amazing feat of dwarven science. It has all of the advantages of a real dorm, with none of the downsides. DerpyTech Bedroom System: A Better Life, Underground! That being said, i guess its about time to care about the dwarves owning masterwork engravings, and for that they need walls in their bedrooms.
How did you place the hatch on the main stairwell when there's a retracting bridge on that space? did the bridge get broken? That's actually very very bad.

2nd of limestone: There is a lot of doggo's. Like, a hundred of them. Let us feast on puppy meat tonight.
6th of limestone: Killed the last forgotten beast for the lulz. It went a bit like this: (http://i.imgur.com/cKKvcaK.jpg)
16th of Limestone: Our... Goblin(?) ambassador for the Dwarven traders has arrived.....
I don't know how to feel about this...
22nd of Limestone: I've started work on the unfinished road that BluePheonix started (The watchtower is awesome btw) and bought some parchments for zazq to write some stuff on.
5th of Sandstone: This was just made by Miner Bebop: (http://i.imgur.com/TP6oiXc.gif)
16th of Sandstone: MIGRANTS!!! we got:
1 x Surgeon
1 x Shearer
1 x Trader
1 x Weaponsmith
1 x Ranger
1 x Gem cutter
1 x Strand Extractor
only 7 Dwarfs. Better then nothing I guess, total number is now 80
22nd of Sandstone: we're digging to the third cavern layer, because i'm making it my sort-of goal to tame some cool underground monsters and make a breeding colony of them. I'm planning on Jabberers but if I happen to make a cave dragon farm...
5th of Timber: Our new Ranger, Dobar, just murdered a rabbit via shooting it's left paw off. In other news, nothing's happening.
26th of timber: Dobar, has now wiped out a herd of horses. We now have plenty of meat as a result.
6th of moonstone: (http://i.imgur.com/30yBJc1.gif)
Those R's are a herd of rutherers that have been trapped in that tree for years. Today, we kill them/capture them.
21st of Moonstone: I may have given our epic squad some cool nicknames. I was bored.
23rd of Moonstone: I guess my goal was finished as I now have all 6 Rutherers from the Rutherer Tree. Our Tree's bare strange fruit.
27th of Moonstone: A jabberer arrived and cut Farmer John to pieces. Thankfully our new squad got there in time to save him but a Jabberer was killed saving him :'(
1st of Opal: A metalsmith made an artefact iron pick but it's so uninteresting it isn't worth screenshotting
6th of Opal: Just realised Farmer John is a woman. Make of that what you will. In other news the rutherers are all trained and hopefully they will be making babies for us to turn fully tame.
2nd of Obsidian: Does having Forgotten Beast Soap constitute as having won the game? Because we have 4 of them.
15th of Obsidian: Dobar murdered a wild Rutherer. On one hand it was an amazing kill, on the other, a rutherer is dead. RIP
I'll finish the last 2 seasons tomorrow, who's playing after me?
Post by: Alpha Loves You on June 07, 2017, 01:31:06 pm
4th of Granite: A vile force of darkness has arrived :o
only 10 of them though, this should be easy
6th of Granite: All 10 are dead, we lost one dwarf killing them though, rest in peace Aban Monomeshtan.
23rd of Granite: Dastot, a wood burner has given birth to a girl
27th of Granite: A traveling performance troupe has arrived... They're goblins and elves... Do not trust!
1st of Slate: Dwarfed Bluepheonix because he/she hasn't been done yet. Is a AxeLord ok?
7th of Slate: MIGRANTS!!! we have:
1 x Dyer
1 x Seige Operator
1 x Presser
2 x Trappers
1 x Clothier
1 x Bone Carver
1 x Woodburner
1 x Woodcrafter
2 x Bowyers
2 x Potash Makers
4 x Goslings (that hatched during the migrant wave)
1 x Papermaker
1 x Furnace operator
WAIT HOLD THE PHONE!
(http://i.imgur.com/PjVZ9BZ.gif)
ENEMY ETTIN HAS ARRIVED 5 FEET AWAY FROM THE MIGRANTS!!!
9th of Slate: Well, the Ettin is dead, murdered by one of the new migrants with an axe (who I nicknamed Corset just because). The ettin did however murder 2 of the migrants and a pig and I have no idea how many arrived with this distraction. Our total dwarf count is 98.
3rd of Felsite: I've just had to order 40 puppy butchers due to our spring births. There's enough to lag my game to hell
4th of Felsite:
(http://i.imgur.com/3WiuIoV.gif)
Bring it on Nature!
5th of Felsite:
(http://i.imgur.com/0gA51Jm.jpg)
Yes thanks Eden, thank you for interrupting an epic battle to remind me Kobolds are awesome.
6th of Felsite: The FB was killed by Our badass Spearmaster "Lead Zeppelin". I think he has earned that name now.
15th of Felsite: The Bedrooms that we built have been expanded for our migrants and every bedroom has a Coffer and a Cabinet inside.
26th of Felsite: Since the road was finished, I've decided to give the outside fort a wooden floor. Mostly to piss off the elves.
Ok, finishing off the final season tomorrow. Whoever wants to play next can pick up the save then.

18th of Hematite: Migrants, thankfully we weren't interrupted again:
1 x Cook
1 x Carpenter
1 x Child
1 x Leatherworker
2 x Traders
1 x Furnace operator
1 x Miner
25th of Hematite:
(http://i.imgur.com/mqc24xq.jpg)
This guy arrived. After we killed 3 Megabeasts in this year alone, i'd thought Nature would take the hint to leave us alone. Apparently not. I'm leaving it trapped in the cavern, any dwarf worth their salt knows what horrible things deadly dust does to you. Zaz quell can write a poem about it or something.
1st of Malachite: I think I was right to not fight that FB. It's been stomping around bursting on a herd of Rutherers and every one that was hit with its dust has died in seconds. Commander Snow, our leader has identified it as an extreme paralytic toxic. I think we dodged a bullet on this one fam.
Although it would have been fun to see Zefer prove his worth in battle against it...
2nd of Malachite: Note to self, never piss off a Rutherer. After massacring its friends, a lone Rutherer attacked Spusngedlu (FB) and managed to send him fleeing, breaking its ribs and left foot. Of course it died afterwards but still.
(http://i.imgur.com/xKEn4Qm.jpg)
24th of Malachite: The FB has been massacring everything that appears in the cavern layer. It's almost impressive, it's body is literally covered in scars and it's limbs are mangled but it keeps bulldozing everything that moves down there.
(http://i.imgur.com/Pbj9Ju0.jpg)
27th of Malachite: Our beautiful soap production is going great. Now everyone can be clean and fresh in this fort. Now that there's a dust spewing tortoise down below, I want everyone having daily baths. NO EXEPTIONS!
1st of Galena: I've been hearing whispers around the fort about me being obsessed with the Forgotten beast on the cavern layer. You're all wrong, I'm not obsessed. Just because this thing massacred a whole crundle group and my sword hand is dying to kill such a worthy opponent doesn't mean I'm obsessed with it. It's just that you lot aren't doing anything interesting! just for that, we're Building a fantastic room made entirely from soap, That'll clean up everyone! THIS IS WHAT YOU GET!!!!
2nd of Galena: ok, maybe I was joking about the soap room guys... guys... please listen to me....
5th of Galena: Holy hell, Turns out that a random skinny crundle called "Omosmuksmum" managed to kill Spusngedlu. It sliced open it's throat and survived until it finally asphyxiated. Good job crundle! Now maybe the guys won't think i'm insane anymore!
10th of Galena: I've decided to take up an apprentice in a fellow swordsdwarf. I've nicknamed him "beta". While he's already very good at killing, I feel like some dwarven interaction may take my mind off of the FB I should have killed. It doesn't help that Omosmuksmum also rotted away after slicing open his throat.
27th of Galena: well guys, I've decided, tomorrow I'll be stepping down as overseer for the third time. Nothing personal but this job isn't for me. I'm far better suited to stalking weird monsters and crying over elves. Here's some sketches of the improved rooms:

Once a fortress has been completed/we get bored of it we can retire that fortress and start the next one, that way we would have a rich world with a lot of player fortresses which would be pretty interesting in my opinion.

I don't remember what's going on in this fortress at all... But apparently we have a surface fort.
(http://i.imgur.com/lH0jw5L.png)
No not again! NO MORE DEAD DAVES! Ug fine.
But really? A fort? That’s not what a dwarf needs. A dwarf needs magma furnaces. A dwarf needs steel battleaxes encrusted with gems. That’s what i’ll work on. A magma forging complex has been designated deep down on layer -91.
MY LIBRARY FLOURISHES! I’ve got 28 books! I’m so happy.
Wait, it is now autumn?! MY HOW TIME FLIES WHEN YOU HAVE 28 BOOKS. Oops i apparently don’t know how to channel magma. Miner Bebop took a lavabath. Yet another cavern forgotten beast has appeared. We’re ignoring it for now.
(http://i.imgur.com/wXySgNC.png)
New magma forging complex is now online. Ore is automatically vacuumed up by the quantum ore stockpile. From there the smelters turn it into bars, which are deposited into the quantum bar stockpile. Finally, the magma forges can turn those bars into needed goods. The wood powered forge area has been removed.
Programmed Work Orders for forge area:
Smelt 10 hematite if we have less than 200 iron bars.
Burn 10 wood if we have less than 200 charcoal.
Make 10 pig iron if we have less than 100.
Make 10 steel if we have less than 100.
And it works! We are successfully producing steel bars.

Post by: zazq on June 18, 2017, 09:54:26 pm
trip successful.
DFHack destroyed about 5000 useless objects to reduce lag. Designated about 2/3rd of our useless horses, cats and dogs and stuff for slaughter. DFHack Exterminated the horde of human poets cluttering up our tavern.
I was unhappy with the therapist labors that I’d set up before, so now they are all changed. We have “Ace” dwarves, usually with a nickname telling you what they do, such as our legendary growers Farmer John and Farmer Jane. Then there are “Mook” dwarves, who pick up all the million other tasks in the fortress. Finally there is “Wardwarf”, which also includes are horde of human military mercenaries.
We have 30 wardwarves in 3 squads. Junk Brigade, lead by Commander Junk, Zefer’s Spindles, led by Zefer McDwarfpants, and Team Beta, lead by Beta. All of them are using the ‘metal armor’ uniform, and i hope to get them set up and happily training. We’ll see. I’ve never been very good at getting dwarves to wear armor.
Organized our hotkey locations as well:
F1: Surface (layer 00)
F2: Housing (layer -8)
F3: Barracks (layer -12)
F4: Well (layer -79)
F5: Cavern Access (layer -83)
F6: Smelters (layer -91)
It is now spring.
When i opened the doors another horde of human bards swarmed in and occupied our tavern. God damn humans. One of our Wardwarves, named Lead Zeppelin, was fascinated after learning about biting.
The junk stockpile has been quantum’d, but the old one remains so that they can get everything out of it first. MORE MIGRANTS OH GOD. Fortress has 168 population. That’s about 100 too many for my tastes. Maybe i should kill them all… hmmm
The forging has been going nicely. We have 20 full sets of steel armor, and the the auto-workorders should keep us in supply of steel for whatever else we need. That’s about it!
It is now summer (i got it during the summer, so that's 1 year!)

First update:
I managed to kill a forgotten beast stranded in the caverns and I'm making soap for future mega-projects. A bar fight broke out and around 5 dwarfs died including our military. I'm starting work on a !!giant statue!!. Are copper blocks dwarfy enough, or should it be made fully out of bars?

Got the Save, the FPS is around 25.Any named dorfs died in the fight?

Post by: snow dwarf on June 23, 2017, 12:10:09 pm
Had a few forgotten beasts and a roc pop around. Killed them all.
Started building the statue from electrum. I'm not accepting petitions for citizenship anymore. The biggest update is hell being released by mistake. I managed to block it off though before anything bad happened. Migrants came. Fps is down to 15.

1st of Granite: Jesus there's 181 dorfs and a metric ton of demons. The lag is truly real.
2nd of Granite: Ok fam, I've finally put all these humans we have to good use, I've made merc squads 1 and 2, and when we attack the legions of hell sometime this year, we'll use them as cannon fodder.
(if anyone has any issue with that, please let me know)
well, that was the plan before:
(http://i.imgur.com/AW2QddW.jpg)
these guys rolled in, guess we have bigger problems now.
4th of Granite: VICTORY!
we lost 7 dwarfs in the fight (mostly mercs) but no named dwarfs died. still, at least some of the lag is gone.
14th of Granite: I've decided to build the monarch's quarters. Because I want to make our fortress the mountain homes it deserves to be. Beginning production of electrum furniture.
19th of Granite: Why the hell do we have so little weapons? Seriously fam, why so little? That has to change now because jesus Christ, I only just found out now that most of our army marched out to kill the goblins unarmed because we have so little of anything. No wonder we took so many losses.
25th of Granite: WARETOTRIOSE ALERT
(http://i.imgur.com/bJj5Smv.jpg)
2 of them. I'm preparing for major casualties
26th of Granite: Both waretortoises are dead but 3 dwarfs are dead and a lot are bitten. I've set up a
Unfortunatly, "snow" was bitten. so I've had to contain him too.
Sorry buddy, you get to be one of our new pets now.
Waretortoises are fun??
14th of Slate: Weapon production is finally coming along, now our militia can fight with stuff that isn't our fists
24th of Slate: I missed a waretortoise....
It turned and murdered a human poet and "Smith the Black".
But wait... There's more...
Out of last months turning, 2 out of the 5 bite victims didn't turn... one being Snow.
He fought bravely (one of the tortoises he fought bled to death after it ripped him apart) but he was overwhelmed. Out of the 3 tortoises, one is still alive and encaved. You can do whatever you want with that one.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
28th of Slate:
(http://i.imgur.com/PtV3FiW.jpg)
This was made by Sting, our new militia captain
6th of Felsite: I'm commencing operation "make a metric ton of adamantine weapons and wreak hell". I'm feeling optimistic :D
8th of Felsite:
(http://i.imgur.com/QR0Pc5D.jpg)
Finally, some action! If we can't kill this then we stand no chance against the demons
10th of Felsite: The worm died by our axdwarf "tribute" practically blowing on it. Note to all FB's, don't keep your brain hidden in your only targetable body part.
and with that, i'm finishing for today. Sorry, but it's my day off and It took me 8 hours to finish the season due to lag and my terrible computer. I'll try to finish the year but it probably won't be soon.
Also sorry for getting snow killed, he went out like a badass :'(
Post by: Alpha Loves You on June 27, 2017, 06:16:51 pm
15th of Felsite: I read up on some tips for dealing with warebeast invasions, apparently, a bunch of the poets are infected, so I murdered every poet with so much as a scratch on them. Hopefully we'll have no more waretortoises, except the ones that are contained.
21st of Felsite: Horray! No more waretortoises! The only remaining ones are contained within some sealed rooms. Now to get some stuff done.
13th of Hematite:
(http://i.imgur.com/4ftFBc8.jpg)
:D
15th of Hematite: The humans are here
(http://i.imgur.com/kmpjgwH.gif)
It warms my heart to see them use the road
19th of Hematite: Bought a ton of useful stuff, mostly food and cloth but with electrum good's production back up and running, we should still have plenty of things to sell for next season (and yes, we're still making electrum bars, we have 983 of them in fact)
25th of Hematite:
(http://i.imgur.com/HzWjdBn.jpg)
This guy arrived, whatever though, we can take him.
27th of Hematite: Beast is dead, Killed by "Pretender" our spearmaster.
1st of Malachite:
(http://i.imgur.com/qsaSIGX.jpg)
Oh yea baby
9th of Malachite: migrants, we have:
1 x Stoneworker
1 x woodcrafter
1 x Beekeeper
1 x Mason
1 x Glazer
1 x Engraver
1 x Woodcutter
1 x Bone carver
Total dwarfs are at 169. A dip from when we started but we're beginning to recover at least.
I'll continue with the fortress tomorrow, it's difficult with the lag but i'll get as much done as possible.

the lag is primarily resulting from all those demons running around down there right?I actually don't think it is, cause the fps didn't drop at all when I opened hell.

15th of Malachite: I think what we need is a cool room made of glass. I think clear glass is the most dwarfy so i'll be starting our potash industry now, we have enough soap to last us for decades, unless we want a soap room.
22nd of Malachite: I had no idea that every one of my rutherers were gay. We've had no babies for years, rip future rutherers :'(
24th of Malachite: Our tortoise guard, BEAST and SCARY MONSTER can no longer train due to one of them smashing the weapon rack and breaking the room. Thankfully they're well trained and still contained, so it'll have to do.
2nd of Galena: Captured another Jabberer, unfortunately another female so we won't be having any jabberer chicks soon.
18th of Galena:
(http://i.imgur.com/bVnH1CD.jpg) :o
GHOST WARETORTOISES!!!
Glass production is doing ok though, I've decided to build greenhouses to make Zazq's outside images a bit more full
26th of Galena:
(http://i.imgur.com/TEiGunF.jpg)
Our mook, Moby Dick made this when he should have been helping with the greenhouses. I'm tempted to feed him to the tortoise guard over it but it is worth £80400, i'll keep him alive for now.
Also Zaz quill wrote a book
(http://i.imgur.com/3wvWJqO.jpg)
Better luck next time?
7th of Limestone: I've added a bunch of wasteful charcoal kilm's and glass furnaces, i'll destroy them soon but for now, I need to step up production.
10th of Limestone:
(http://i.imgur.com/EhRHU7V.jpg)
Oh no....
BLOCK THE TUNNELS!!!
11th of Limestone: Ok, crisis averted, we blocked off Amas oridash in the tunnels. Hopefully he can go and get himself killed down there, no way am I sending my dwarves to kill a gem monster with a web attack.
13th of Limestone: Our dwarven trader friends are here, lets see what they brought.
18th of Limestone: I practically bought out the traders. Electrum is the best.
Ok fam, big things planned for tomorrow, stay tuned
Post by: zazq on June 29, 2017, 06:32:25 pm
this has never happened before in any community game ever.
Post by: Alpha Loves You on June 29, 2017, 06:53:38 pm
Thankfully, not much has really happened. The dwarves left with enough tribute to make us the mountain homes, the rooms are already set up for the monarch so that'll be good hopefully.
Chef cookie made this nightmare
(http://i.imgur.com/GmkmGjd.jpg)
The FB underground has been massacring blind cave orge's for months so we might attack him soon and finish him off.
And our greenhouse production is going ok, if a little slow for my liking.
Our adamantine production is going great, we have 2 of each useful weapon (swords, axes and spears) and 17 spare wafers so I've stopped all production so everyone else can get some use in. We have 63 spare boulders if we use up that anyway.
That aside, nothing much has happened, I want to finish off the greenhouse as much as I can, so i'll be busy tomorrow finishing off everything that remains.
I won't be attacking hell again though, besides the risk of destroying the fortress, I don't fancy my computer crashing again and loosing all my progress so if anyone wants to give that a go with a better computer, feel free. I have Dfhacked a few into history just to lessen the lag and that's worked so far, so thanks for the suggestion there zazq.
The last update will come tomorrow, see you then

(http://i.imgur.com/gLbc1Fz.jpg)
Really?
5 days later, really?
5th of Obsidian: Knowing how dangerous poison gas can be, I only sent out 2 humans to kill the FB. Turns out it was enough as they returned with only a scabby elbow between them.
12th of Obsidian: I've had to cut a few corners but only 7 blocks remaining with the greenhouse project. Between this and the swarms of megabeasts this year, I feel like I've actually done something.
18th of Obsidian: The greenhouse is finished, it looks pretty boring now but I intend to improve it when I return to the fortress eventually. Time to pack up and remove the new workshops, they're just taking up space right now.
20th of Obsidian: Ok, everything's cleared up, greenhouse is finished, lye production is back on and everyone is safe. Guess my work here is done and i'll be finishing a few days early.

Simple Fort Teyo Vutheni 133
Its late winter. There are 172 dwarves. There are at least 2 weretortoises. 11fps is unplayable.
Exterminated 65 animals, 30 demons and 105 humans, some of which were fortress members.
Slew 48 dwarves (the useless ones), destroyed 8483 objects, cleaned everything, did a revflood.
Fortress population: 100. 22fps, and that’s doable.
It is now spring.

this fortress isn't fun and laggy as hell. i regret genning the world the way i did. I've learned a lot about lag management since then. we should start a new one.I would wait for the other guys before we make this decision, but I personally would wait till the update, cause we're gonna need to gen a new world then anyway.

Because I elected us to become the mountain homes, and I'd like that to happen before we retire the fortress, I should play one more season until the monarch arrives, document it and then send the world to snow dwarf so he/she can decide where we settle next.
Good idea?
Post by: snow dwarf on July 08, 2017, 12:30:38 am
OK then, I have a plan.Great, other than the fact that I'm away from home for another month and won't be able to decide, cause I'm basically to lazy to download df on my super tiny, traveling laptop.

Ok fam, i'm ready to finish the final season tomorrow, do you want me or zazq to decide the settlement location and do we want any challenges just so we don't become OP like we have in this one?I would prefer it to have no aquifer but maybe untamed wilds (?). Any not too extreme challenges are always fun. Maybe we should also set a citizen cap or whatever it was called...

5th of Granite:
(http://i.imgur.com/6zq8qWF.jpg)
This pretty thing was made. I guess it's pretty cool
17th of Granite: We captured a bunch of Crundles, so I set them free outside the fortress for the lulz. Turns out they don't last long against woodcutter dwarves.
26th of Granite:
(http://i.imgur.com/WdHjhE4.jpg)

20th of Slate: Our monarch has arrived, lets properly indroduce them and then our work on the fortress is done.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And with that, our fortress comes to an end. I have to say fam, I am feeling pretty emotional about retiring this place, It was the first succession fort I ever played and it's taught me a lot. I wish we could have kept it going but we were running out of things to do and all good things must come to an end. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did and it'd be really fun to play with you all again.

Since it was left up to me, i've decided on our new settlement location and the challenges we'll be facing.
I hope you'll all be ok with this location to give us some challenge:
(http://i.imgur.com/m2s0fcU.jpg)
No aquifier, untamed wilds and all the metal and flux we could ever want, with no human Nabors, it's perfect.
Time to settle!
1st of Granite:
we begin our story in the frozen south with no tree's, water source or hope of survival, but here we are, time to get digging.
24th of Hematite: ok, the shell of our fortress is carved out and we have a decent crafting station set up, as well as a farming area.
6th of Malachite: our first migrants and who should arrive first? But our old friend Corset. Here's who else we got:
1 x Child
1 x Engraver
1 x Woodcutter
2 x Farmers
1 x Bowyer
From 7 to 14, a decent expansion
12th of Gelena: I've created an inn, in all but name at least to stop the peots from swarming.
25th of Gelena: Our farms are bearing fruit, which is good for us, more booze.
5th of Limestone:
(http://i.imgur.com/vebbVbL.jpg)
Dear god...
17th of Limestone: The dwarven Caravan is here, lets hope they don't explode...
19th of Limestone: we ordered Food, Animals, Booze, Metal and WOOD, LOTS OF WOOD. I garentee we'll need it.
23rd of Limestone: The merchants were being massive assholes over good but thankfully we were able to get a ton of Booze, meat, weapons and wood, so that's something at least.
17th of Sandstone: I've made our first militia group. They're only 2 dwarves strong right now but... At least they have bronze weapons
28th of Sandstone: I have de-selected the inn because I have set up some sweet honeymoon rooms for our dwarves to hook up in.
(http://i.imgur.com/RpnaCQc.jpg)
1st of Timber: More migrants:
1 x Yesline :D
2 x Craftdwarfs
4 x Yesline's kids >:(
1 x Miner
1 x Glazer
2 x Metalcrafters
1 x Mason Knob
1 x Animal Trainer
1 x Azreal
A bunch of familiar faces, 28 dwarves in total
1st of Moonstone: a kid grew up. Finally, 13 years of patience has finally born fruit.
1st of Opal: Zuntir decides that it would be great to build an artefact completely out of wood. We have 3 wood, he wants more then that. He can go screw himself.
7th of Opal:
(http://i.imgur.com/U7emucT.jpg)
Yay
16th of Obsidian: Zuntir finally went insane, good, he deserved it, useless dumbass.
28th of Obsidian: and just like that, the year is over. The map is built on a 2x2 area so hopefully we can cut down on the lag this time. I'm also deciding that we will only have a maximum of 80 dwarves in this fortress, children not included, just to keep the lag down.

(https://mega.nz/#F!oqIkCIpR!cOAI7ilnlMDMSbqIHI5aqg)
Ok, Here we go.
Obsidian 28th: First thing's first, I don't like this face here. It creeps me out. And we can always use more stone. I've noticed we're lacking in plumphelmet spawn, so I think it's time to find the first cavern. Hopefully we'll get plenty of plants and wood, and no uninvited guests.
(http://i.imgur.com/sLTAyV1.png)
Granite 1st: And so starts my year, officially. I've given the military a more rigerous training schedule. They'll train 24/7, 10 months out of the year. They'll have Malachite and Gelena off. I'll have to create a reserve squad to fill in their place on those months at some point. Maybe when the next migrant wave comes.
Granite 8th: The dogs have been trained and are ready for war. I've assigned them each to our two best soldiers to protect.
Granite 14th: I told the dwarves to start smoothing out the floors and walls and make everything look nice.
Granite 17th: The elves have arrived. Let's hope they have some grown logs.
Granite 17th: Wood galore! I also bought a giant snapping turtle.
(http://i.imgur.com/5Qp67S2.png)
Slate 4th: Not enought barrels to hold all our alchohol!
Slate 21st: The crazed dwarf Zuntir has gone missing. A coffin has been built and a crypt is under construction.
Felsite 3rd: So it turns out Zuntir has just been lying dead in a hallway that nobody happens to walk down, as he is still "missing". I've told the military to station there so they can "find" him.
(http://i.imgur.com/B1UMuAl.png)
Felsite 22nd: A cavern has been uncovered. It has trees, now we're cooking with magma, boys!
Malachite 17th: A wererat has arrived. Fortunately I was able to lock the hatch cover before he could enter the fortress. Unfortunately he escaped after I sent the militia to go kill him in his human form. He killed our legendary planter. The food supplies will suffer, I fear.
Galena 17th: So I made a mistake. A dwarf was infected with the werevirus. Luckily, he was alone in the hospital when he transformed. The room has been walled in and a new hospital has been dug out. I'll just leave him in there to draw stuff on the walls.
Galena 27th: Some polarbear women have shown up on the surface, they seem friendly. I've built a cage trap in the hopes that one of them will be captured and can be put on display in the dining hall.
Limestone 16th: The trade caravan from home has arrived. I was able to buy all their wood and metal, along with two dogs who will be trained for war.
Obsidian 7th: Another werebeast came. Moniter lizard this time. He killed three dwarves on the surface before fleeing. The drawbridge was shut in time, though. So nobody else was hurt. One of the dwarves happened to be standing on the bridge when it shut, so he was flung into the air before being immediately destroyed by the werebeast. I feel sorry for him.
Granite 2nd: So the year is over. The fortress is under siege, but I'll let the next guy deal with that. I set up a defense system in the cavern, though. So should anything that the military can't handle come up from below, there is a lever that will shut the hall way leading from the caves to the fort. There is also a ballista down there that can be used to kill whatever is so dangerous.
(http://i.imgur.com/cqR34p0.png)
So in total, nine dwarves died during my stay as overseer, I never did get to capture a polarbear woman, there is no water so anybody who is even slightly injured will be doomed to die of thirst, and the fortress in under siege.
But on the bright side, the militia captain has a cool suit of steel armor, we have a badass ballista, a pet snapping turtle, and we shouldn't be too bad on wood now that a cavern has been uncovered.
I'd say is was a good year overall.

EDIT : Grabbed previous save and it works. I'm going to start with that if no one has a problem with that. I don't know what the problem was, there wasn't much difference between the saves.
ANOTHER EDIT : Should the map be this small? I'm seeing black space off to the right. Anyway starting from there. Hopefully the small size of the fort won't play on my mind too much.

Oh Ok. I'm playing your save. 9Joseph9's is corrupt or something. it doesn't register as a region at all. I would modify it if I knew exactly what was causing it to not show up as a proper region folder. Anyway... First half is done continuing tomorrow.

Notes : Former Mayor is locked in the hospital. I suggest you move him to the area across from the mayors office because the guards sometimes go strait through the walls of the barracks while sparring. the drowning room is on the bottom level just before the magma. Use with caution, if you remove the door at the wrong time it will flood the level. Perhaps you should set up some sort of drainage that works via a lever. Oh the lever for the flood gate is above the room next to the fishery.

1st of Granite: well, the place looks roughly the same as I left it, our militia is looking a little bear so I've expanded it to 10 Guards, just to give us an edge against the Gobbo's.
14th of Granite: almost instantly, the elves arrived, lets see what they're brought
17th of Granite: turns out our broker has no understanding of economics or trading, so like a pleb we guesstimated a decent trade for Barrels, fruit and splints.
9th of Slate: Expanded our dorm, everyone deserves a bed :(
Also some migrants arrived:
1 x Trocadero :D
1 x Chef Cookie :D :D
1 x Lead zeppelin :D :D :D
8 x Mooks
2 x children
1 x Spinner
1 x Miner
1 x Fish cleaner
1 x Fisherdwarf
1 x Alpha 8)
1 x Glazer
That's right baby, Alpha's here to party, a total of 88 of us now, capping the population so we don't die to lag
3rd of Felsite:
(http://i.imgur.com/O0q7C9R.gif)
Pretty cool
19th of felsite: I've noticed that several of our dwarves have lost the ability to walk and didn't bring a crutch, so they refuse to move on their own and have to be carried, lazy plebs.
1st of Hematite: a vile force of darkness has arrived!!!
4th of Hematite: We won, although not without casualties. A mother and child were killed in the chaos and one of our guards were killed, although they went down fighting. 85 dwarves remain with 10 slain goblins.
19th of Hematite: we constructed a second hospital and nursed our surviving dwarves back to full health. We have survived.
More to come tomorrow, stay tuned
Post by: Alpha Loves You on August 06, 2017, 04:13:05 pm
25th of Hematite: A couple of migrants:
1 x Woodcrafter
2 x Mooks
1 x Train
1 x Miner Leonardo
Population is now at a full 90.
11th of Malachite: Bedrooms have now been finished, unless we get more births or something
20th of Malachite:

23rd of Galena: our swordsdwarf has given birth to a girl, lucky them.
27th of Galena:
(http://i.imgur.com/xqzckGH.jpg)
Now we're saving this for a special occasion :)
13th of Limestone: fam.... something happened....
The infected mayor transformed, as it did every month. Somehow Tribute and Lead Zeppelin managed to get through a Forbidden door and massacre it. On one hand, one less warebeast to clean up but on the other, i'm confused as to how they even accomplished this. At least neither of them were bitten.
18th of Limestone: The traders arrived, we bought a ton of Weapons, food, armour, Booze and even a couple of books. Oh, and cloth, lots and lots of cloth.
3rd of Sandstone: our new library is complete!
(http://i.imgur.com/1Gr97AJ.jpg)
It's not much now but we'll write history from that room.
24th of Sandstone: A migrant, singular has arrived. Foo Fighter from our last site.
15th of Timber: Farmer Jane gave birth to a girl, our second this year
28th of Timber:
(http://i.imgur.com/oPfqs5v.jpg)
3rd artefact this year
9th of Moonstone: Our new Scholor is pumping out books like crazy, 2 in a week! They're not very good but I guess it's the thought that counts.
25th of Moonstone:

What we see here is a troll trapped in a flooding room after it broke down the floodgate. Nothing of value is lost.

So, I get this letter, saying I won the "Overseer" sweepstakes. But, thing is, I don't remember entering such a contest. Oh, well. It appears that for my prize, I have won one year of Overseership over some hole-in-the-wall fortress named Cloisteredsoldiers. I see no reason not accept this position. It will take me about one week to get there.
8th Opal, 136.
So, I finally get to Cloisteredsoldiers, and what is the first thing I see, you ask?
A bloody corpse stockpile just sitting there, waiting for just any necromancer to come and raise the lot.
What do I see after that? The unguarded, and unfortified stairs to the Fortress.
And in addition, we have no temples.
Why do we have a freaking library, but no temples? We hardly need access to books, but you can only pray in a temple.
People are probably going mad over the lack of temples.
There's at least two legendary soldiers who are not in a squad.
It's like someone decided that since the fort itself has a relatively simple design, the rest should be as complicated as possible.
(sorry for my in-character rant, it is not intended as an insult, so please don't take it as one.)
11th Opal, 136.
Okay, I've started work on a better entrance. First, they walk through a passegeway right next to fortifications that our rangers will fire through, then they walk through a series of tight passages designed to slow them down enough that reinforcements can arrive, then they turn a corner right into our soldiers.
Admittedly we'll have less access to the surface, but what self-respecting dwarf goes to the surface a lot?
24th Opal, 136.
Happy Birthday, Nish Lolukusan! How does it feel to be a whole years old?
1st Obsidian, 136.
The Wardwarf 'Lead Zeppelin' punched 'Olin Talinkel' in the head, for an unkown reason, instantly killing him.
Olin was our only scribe, and best smelter. WHERE-EVER OLIN IS, MAY THE BEER BE EVERFLOWING. MAY THERE BE PLENTIFUL SOCKS WITH NO HOLES IN THEM. DRINK, DRINK IN OLIN'S MEMORY! TONIGHT WE CELEBRATE HIS LIFE! TOMORROW WE MOURN HIS DEATH!
12th Obsidian, 136.
A dwarven boy was born on this day.
1st Granite, 136.
A vile force of darkness has arrived.
The first casualities are our rabbits.
I'm regretting taking all the animals outside.
2nd Granite, 136.
Holy Carp. Because, I forgot an important part of the defensive structure, I thought we were goners. Turns out we are not. Our soldiers, WHILE VOMITING FROM THE SUN EXPOSURE, are routing the goblins.
Also, the mayor apparently thinks now is a good time to ponder reproductive behaviour.
I mean, granted, the mayor is a scholar, but Seriously?
Anyway, we killed 32 goblins without a single casualty. Well, dwarven casualty. We lost 3 sheep and 2 rabbits.
Although the new recruit did take an arrow to the knee.
Good thing he was already a guard, and not an adventurer.
Actually, I think this is the first goblin siege I've ever had.

I have built a nice garbage compactor, to get rid of the unnecessary corpses.
9th Granite,137.
I have decided to kill two keas with one bolt by putting the artifact coffin in the mayor's room.
The mayor is happy because he has expensive furniture, and the tomb owner, likewise. If the coffin would be better elsewhere we can just move it.
12th Granite, 137.
WARNING, I have made a minimum skill level of adequate for all workshops I could find, except the forge, as no one has adequate skill in armor or weapon forging.
17th Granite, 137.
The lookout has informed me that she saw an elven caravan in the distance.
I hope they are carrying useful creatures.
One of the first 7 has been attacked by a cave crocodile.
18th Granite, 137.
That first 7 I mentioned yesterday?
She beat up the cave crocodile, made it feel terror, then just calmly walked away from it in search of more webs, leaving it to warn the rest of its kind.
She didn't even start the battle with any combat skill, so what is it about our dwarves being badasses?
In any event I'm renaming her "Crocodile Dundee.
21st Granite, 137.
When I heard Kubuk Adilgoth was a 'legendary' Engraver, I was skeptical, but after I commisioned him/her to make some engravings in the mayor's room.
Later, I went to the mayor's room to see how Kubuk did.
I gasped as I entered the room, for I had never seen a beautiful sight before in all my seventy-eight years. The whole room was like a masterpiece.
The moment was slightly spoiled by Alpha announcing that he had grown attached to a steel battle axe.
23rd Granite, 137.
I mentioned a few days ago that elves arrived.
Today we traded some things we didn't need for a yak bull, a raven( who, needless to say, quoth Nevermore.), a giant mink, a giant wolf, and a giant loon.
24th Granite, 137.
Sixteen migrants have arrived.

Some dwarves were secretly working with goblins to undermine my rule. However, they were found out.
Three of them were executed today. Three are in the hospital from injuries sustained when they were arrested. No loyal dwarf was injured, though one of the criminal's pet lambs was accidentally injured in the arrest.
21st Slate, 137.
Two more of the traitors have been executed.

Dear Next Overseer,
Okay, this is the end of my turn.
We have 88 citizens, and 60 Livestock. You may wish to butcher some of the livestock.
At level 96 is a suspended down stair. Unsuspend it if goblins or other surface-dwelling invaders are coming, so they will be forced to walk through the long way.
At level 93 are two things of interest. The first is the execution chamber, which is to the southwest of the stairs. Read the note for instructions.
The second thing of interest is the quantum stockpile at the northeast. It has a garbage dump on it, so just select dump on items to get them there, then use d-b-c to unforbid them. There is also a garbage dump on the 95th floor, but that one is of the atom smasher variety. Do not have both garbage dumps active at the same time.
At level 89 are some children locked into rooms. If you want them to die, keep the doors locked. If you want them to live, unlock the doors.
At level 89, there are also up stairs built on natural up/down stairs. If you think you can face the forgotten beast, you may deconstruct the stairs. Otherwise, keep them there. Oh, the FB is dead. so nevermind this particular instruction.
At level 95, many of the buildings have a minimum skill level on them.

Town Oddomezar - Overseer Log of Scarf, 6th Overseer of Cloisteredsoldiers
20th Timber 137
So, I got up today, got dressed in my quarters, went out into the street passageway to start hauling a plump helmet to the food stock-pile, only to be stopped in my tracks by a tall, skinny, moustached, long-braided, sparse-haired person. This person, whose name I learnt to be that of Pikachu17 Keskalostar, our Overseer; and the moment he laid his eyes upon me, he declared that I was the new Overseer, that all I needed was to look over the notes and papers he'd left behind, and that I'm was not allowed a change from my usual hauling activities. Bummer. He then ran off, leaving me bewildered in my early-morning sleepiness. Still, after a while, I set out to do my job, feeling rather merry that I had received such an honor.
I made a short inspection of the fort. Firstly, while the fort entrance is comprised of a series of long passageways, leading to a stockpile and then on to the rest of the fort, giving us sufficient time to rouse and raise our armed forces, I haven't failed to notice the partial route down to our Fort from the outside, with a stair missing, happily stopping any invaders from taking that route down to our Fort... Unless they fly or fall in.
Our food stocks are good, and more alcohol is being brewed as I write. I notice that we only have a single Engineer to make mechanisms, making it difficult to produce siege weaponry, unless I pause the production of mechanisms. Our tombs are handsome. I note with concern that we seem to have very few blank scrolls and sheets for our philosophers and scribes to work with. We have six written works, as well two artifact quires, still unbound into books. I took a look at the notes left behind by the previous overseer on the execution. It chills me to my bones that we should have need of such a function; what's worse is that we not only lose the corpses, but also any apparel upon them. A waste. I also cannot comprehend the previous overseer's decision to starve children to death in their rooms. I released them immediately.
I checked the lower levels and found that our cavern entrances are all connected to a single, 1-by-3 shaft going straight through the fort to the main entrance. After the last main area, the bedrooms, the shaft continues, and there is an increasing amount of corpses, blood, body parts and dropped clothing as the shaft goes deeper. The first cavern layer (at level 37) has almost no remains. At level 32, there is what may be an unimaginable amount of wealth locked into stone. An entire vein of gold, more than thirty units long! This also the only part of the shaft that has any form of defense; ten doors to prevent any visit from the caverns. The second cavern layer (at layer -9) is a blood-bath, corpses, blood and bolts everywhere. It is also even less defended than the upper levels. Finally, the final cavern layer (at layer -18). Water; and we will have difficulty going forward. Most of our efforts have been flooded, and below is the magma sea. We will have to exercise caution in furthering our excavations. And I chill in the realization that we, despite our military prowess, are a sitting duck without a bottom to stand on nor a helmet. We need to fix this, fast. And now I have just realized there is no problem, the shaft is blocked anyway.
Not much is happening in terms of industry and production, but that isn't a priority for now. Our hospital seems to doubling as a place of worship, and we have no traction beds. We are missing gypsum powder for casts for broken bodies and bones, as well as traction benches.
I have decided that the first priority is to put in place a rock-block stockade, a few levels high, with the view that expansion will be necessary. Then, a new temple (or temples) shall be carved out, smoothed and decorated, and the hospital freed from the gaggle of earnest worshippers that could flood and distract our doctor. The two artifact quires will be bound and placed into the Library, more sheets, scroll rollers, scrolls, thread and blank quires will be produced for the Library's consumption. I shall also make sure to purchase any written works that come with the wares of the traders. I will pick another dwarf as an engineer in charge of making traction benches, siege engines, vast, complex construction etc. I also agree with the previous overseer's suggestion of culling some of our large animal population. We should either hunt for gypsum to make gypsum powder from it, or purchase some from the traders. The fort also needs a clean.
Perhaps if I manage all this, we can commence operations to haul our industry up to a suitable level of activity, and perhaps even prepare to reopen the caverns below.

I suppose they might wear something, but it won't be weapons, armor, or clothing.

Children don't do anything useful, they take our food supplies, mess with the FPS a little, and will have no useful skills when they grow up. But it was your decision whether you let them out or not. If I had wanted to ensure their deaths I wouldn't have mentioned them. Anyway, you should probably remove them from the burrow "Good Children", if you want them to live.

Besides, for all their uselessness, we could use them as lures for our traps.While I appreciate the using of children as bait, how would you do so? You can't command children to sit somewhere, can you?
Oh, and maybe the caverns should have some support-traps.
You know what those are, right? You get a support, put an otherwise unsupported floor on it, and either cage traps around the support, or more floors to crush th FB.

Turns out I was wrong about the state of our shaft. We can reach the caverns. I've set up orders to make some magma-proof blocks for the stockade, and stone-fall traps are being constructed in the passageways to the entrance. More trap components are being forged. I've designated an enlargement of our farms, in part to increase our alcohol production with plump helmets and cave wheat, and in part to start growing more pig tail plants, sweet pods, dimple cups and quarry bushes. We are also milling pretty much anything that is millable, in the hopes of regaining some of the quarry bush and pig tail seeds.

Going through our Dead and Missing Log, I have discovered that we have over 31 missing dwarves. I wonder where they all went, and whether there is something upon their dissappearance written in the previous Overseers' logs. Well, just in case, I'll have some slabs put up to them.

Yeah, I think simple fort has run its course
I wasn't the creator of the fortress but I want to thank everyone who worked on it and everyone who enjoyed reading it. It's been a lot if fun (and a good learning experience) working with this succession fort and I'm glad to have shared the experience with all of you.
Snow dwarf, do you want to update the OP and give us a best moments list or something?
If anyone desperately wants to get one last turn in (or finish the year) better take the fortress now.
