From the diary of Maskwolf:
I am one of the last survivors of humanity. The great fortress of Silverspire was annihilated, razed to the ground, the earth salted, never to be lived in again. I was the only survivor. I do not know what do in providence allowed me to escape death, but I somehow made it past the invaders and into the mountains, knowing that  I had no chance of living.  Somehow, somehow, I came upon a fortress established by other survivors of humanity. We are the last remnants, the last point of light in a world fallen to darkness.  We have no choice. We must fight to survive. Humanity must endure. My skills as a carpenter will help us create what we need, at least somewhat. If we fall, may the gods have mercy on our souls, for we had failed.

Crap, opened hell.  Sealed it off, but do I have the military go and fight or just remained holed up?

Right, leggings were the fourth type. I forgot that. I knew I had been creating four types of item, I just couldn't remember what they were. Turn is going well, I figured out how to fill the well and have begun rearming our military. Migrants came, added a new squad of hammer dwarfs.

And bone breastplates. Since I slaughtered most of our non-dog animals, we're going to have plenty of bone equipment.

The link didn't link.

Pre-made is fine.  I'll get to it eventually, I'm fortress-swamped right now, so the pre-set embark would be good.

You have to actually change your civ. press tab from the site screen until it gives you a civ list. And don't worry, I had trouble with this too, you're not the only one.

The brass thing is a good point, kind of wish it was cassiterite, though.
