Heh, that isn't happening.  Not on my watch, order won't be restored.

Year one update:
Settled in, built basic accomadations, traded with the caravan, was forced to hide from a siege for lack of weapons.  I'll post pics when I'm on a better computer.

Why do dwarfs not realize they are on fire until it is too late?

Why can an elephant not break down a wooden bridge on it's way to your fortress.
And what the heck is an elk bird?

Move my turn back one on the list, I'm a bit swamped right now.

Alright, here's the save:

The embark is pretty nice, heavily forested in part of it and mountainous in the other, with flux and sand.  I gave you these advantages for a reason: you'll need them.  It's fort defense basic with spawn of holistic.  Not fun, to say the least.

Wait until I upload was what I meant.  I set up some basic defenses and lost like 20 dwarfs, including half the named ones, so just go ahead with Grevenis's save.

Okay, I can't complete my turn on the fortress, please move along to the next person.  I only got through summer, shamefully enough, and almost all of the named dwarfs were killed, as Kolnukbyne was killed by elk birds and WoobMonkey died somewherre along the way.  Just use the previous save, unless you really want to keep going from where I was, in which case you will have to wait on the save.
