Would anyone have any interest in continuing this fortress, with or without Sparkgear rules, as an offshoot?  Alternatively, I may start a new succession game using the latest version of Relentless Assault.

Sorry, this fort is too chaotic...
But I'm up for a fort using RA

SAVE
MAP

May I suggest creating a cloth industry?
Also better housing for the nobility are required, I dug out some rooms for them, and engraved they should be happy with them.

But simple holes seems... boring...

Also, we must consider the next Sparkgear.
I vote non-freezing map, with permanent magma/water sources.

   Perhaps we didn't notice it in ourselves: when that Point of No Return occurred that removed us from the rest of society and marked us forever as Dwarf Fortress players. However, I had the chance to observe it in another recently.

   I introduced a coworker's son to the game, and at first he was expressing horror at the stories of tragedies that had occurred in my forts. After only a couple hours of struggling through his first embark, however, with one dwarf dead to rampaging alligators and the rest slowly starving to death while locked underground for safety as all of his poorly-chosen supplies sat in distant outdoor stockpiles, he asked me: "If my dwarves can run out and grab the dead guy's body, can they use it for food?"

   Ladies and gentlemen, The Point of No Return.

Hahahahahhahaha, good question, I think I actually asked myself the very same question the first time I played
I think it was when I first harnessed the power of pumps, so many wonderous new projects could be embarked upon..

Ahh, I ended up flooding half the map

24th Opal 315
I noticed how ragged our clothes are, not fit for the harsh enviroment of a glacier!
I've allowed people to gather clothes from the fallen invaders.

25th Opal 315
Zon, one of our miners, was crushed in a cave-in today.

5th Obsidian 315
Frogwarrior died from thirst today..
I'll have to expand our cemetary.

9th Obsidian 315
Zefon, a swordsmaster, died today from thirst.
I've launched an investigation.

10th Obsidian 315
I found out why our military are dying.
They're resting in unclaimed bedrooms instead of the hospital over by the magma pipe...

17th Obsidian 315
I've removed the grate preventing prisoners thrown from the execution platform landing in the courthouse.
Dead elves on the desk are just so... Satisfying...

20th Obsidian 315
Bim, an Axe Elder, died from thirst today.
I'll try and remove the beds the crippled are lying in.

1sth Granite 316
Olin, a spearmaster, died from thirst today..
I know I should draft more people into the military, but the fort is already very balanced regarding the workforce...

I'll have to check around.

2nd Granite 316
I checked around and picked out 9 dwarves who seemed to contribute less than they would in the military.
One was excluded when I further checking of his documents showed he were a professional brewer.
The rest were mechanics, planters and gem cutters.
Professions the fort isn't dependant on.
Well, planters are nice, but a quarter of the fort is already employed in that field.

18th Granite 316
While working on the castle, a kobold ambushed the construction-team.
Luckily, a miner was nearby with his pick, and killed 5 kobolds, thus changing his name to Īteb Wheelglen the Glittery Outrage of Subtleties.
A single worker was killed.

2nd Slate 316
The baron, baronness, hammerer and tax collector came today!
...
Carp, we got no quarters suitable for their needs...

7th Felsite 316
I've dug out some quarters in the mountainside near the new cemetary for the nobility, until the castle is up and running.

8th Hematite 316
Nil, a metalcrafter/thresher withdrew from society today...

9th Hematite 316
He claimed a magma forge.

13th Hematite 316
Dwarven caravan arrived today.
I'll see how much crap they can take away.

14th Hematite 316
Bah! We don't have any bins, hauling all the crap littered around would take forever!
I've ordered the forges to pump out bins and bolts of iron and copper, seems we have alot of those materials.

17th Hematite 316
The meeting with liasion went fine.
We asked for logs, he asked for earrings, quivers and legwear.
That's going to be some interesting troops.
Also, Urdim the bone carver was elected mayor of this shithole.

18th Hematite 316
We found an elevn ambush today.
I had a feeling those bastards were sneaking around somewhere, so I posted some guards on patrol...
Interesting dwarven sense, if enemies are sneaking, or there's a lot of animals, or dwarves in a place, or just a lot of crap littered around, we can almost see time slow down..

21st Hematite 316
Nil begun his work today with:
Black bronze bar x1
Rose gold bar x1
Rough resin opal x1
Rough lace agate x1
Ogre bones x12
Donkey bones x7
Lignite boulders x2
Pig tail cloth x1

Needless to say, I wonder how he intends to forge something with magma that includes lignite.

24th Hematite
Nil sprang triumphantly into the hall today and proclaimed he had made Typhoonchewed the Failed Ignition, a black bronze ring.
I must say, I couldn't agree more with the name.
The ring have an image of a tree in lignite, the thing SHOULD spontaneously combust just because of that, but it doesn't.
Also, it's worth 86,400.

3 squads, 1 wrestler and 2 spears.
Nearly all of them was annihilated.

I'm crying blood from looking at this fort.
Still, I must press on...

My project will be to complete the castle and fit it for the nobles

...
Yeah that'd be an issue.

Ahh alright, didn't know that
Take your time
