good progress on my fort and my mega project. though the elves came twice, I haven't swapped goods with the elves yet (I really wanted that camel :(). The first time, my mechanisms were too heavy for them, and the second time, beak dogs... need I say more?

all ambushes against me have failed miserably. :D

I like the variety of food offered in the game. However, I was a bit disconcerted to see things like "burger", "pizza", and "pasta" among possibilities. It detracts from the flavor of the game to have dishes with such strong modern American connotations included with it. Maybe other names like "Banquet" or "Feast" (I admittedly am not that great at coming up with names off the top of my head) should be used?

What?!? you don't want your dwarf to eat Cat-burgers and Demon-burgers at McDwarf's?

seconds one for sure.
Except the Spartan version.

my blind guy is now the trader/clerk. He uses echo-location to appraise his goods, and writes in either braille, or blood. The latter, because of its texture.

Is it really the case that we're somehow expected to do megaprojects?  I was planning to make a pretty integrated fortress--I prefer to have grandiose implementations of necessary fortress components than some massive construction that has no in-game purpose.

No, no expectation of that. Look at what people did last time. Two of us had boats as projects. Damming the river was a project.

On a survival map I'd expect acquiring fresh water to be a project. Having a solid fortress/defense system to be a project, etc. I decided to do a mega, but my other projects aren't likely to be any more substantial than what I just described.

oh, right! I forgot about the salt water issue after I made my fresh water pit. oh well, not to late to change something in my planned internal apartment system

we're popular.

Also, what IS IRC?

IRC is essentially a chatroom.

as inscribed by Cazador on a limonite mechanism:

Well, it was a rather eventful year for me. It began when I was hammering some hammers, when suddenly Blah came to me and told me I was in charge. Fun.

Well, since I became in charge, I noticed that our entrance wasn't the best prepared for an invasion, so I issued the construction of an outer courtyard to keep our dwarves, the 10 of us, safe. During the construction, the elven bastards decided to strike.



Well, their mistake. Our 2 champions, who are also lovers, went out and slaughtered the whole bunch of them. I can only mmagine what was going on out there...
"Honey," *slice's of Elf head*
"yes, sweety-plump-helmet?" *smashes elf head in with hammet*
"do you want to go out for dinner?" *cuts off elf's arms, legs, and then head*
"Sure, sweety. How does a =elf meat roast= sound?" *sends an elf flying across the brook*
... anyways...

we got a wave of 19 immigrants. One of which immediately had the urge to make a cow leather short skirt.


The coming of summer reminded me that we needed more information about the stockpiles. As a result, I made Blah an office. I don't need an office myself. I also issued some cage traps to be built between some towers.

They proved useful, when a horde of monkeys attacked. we caught, and tamed, 3, while the rest were dealt with by our new recruits. Was fun to watch. I've also begun digging out a grand appartment hall to replace the old bedrooms, as well as beginning to make a trap out of the Orcish temple.

Well, during construction, Magua fell. She's alright now, but we had to send someone to dig her out. We got 7 more immigrants, bringing us to 36.


Autumn has arrived... (random sprawl) neeeeeedddd.... stone... rocks.... shells...
shells....
sheelelelelelllls!!!!!
where are my sheheheheeeelelelelels!
...
oh, sorry. I don't remember anything from the past month. I was told I was possessed, and took a mechanics shop, to make a limonite mechanism. They ran out of shells, so they had to buy more from the caravan.



Also, I ordered some fortifications to be made around the walls.

Winter has come, and so have the Orcs!!!!!!!! Barricade us in!!!

...
or not.
It appears that the Elves and the Monkeys put up more of a fight than the Orcs.

speak of the devils...


In any case, the appartment blocks, which will have wells and water in them, are not finished, and my term has ended. The trap isn't finished either.

well, 2 casualties for me. And a grand forest fire after a battle between a Harpy and a Fire Imp

I'm suprised the magmaman didn't burn down anything in his 3 fire breaths.
