Great, another starting spot, I already have 9 regions, and I can't decide what fortress to develop...

With my first fortress I am in the 7th year, haven't gotten 1 mil wealth yet (due to a problem with a burning trade depot), with it I have only planned out small areas, and this giant wagon-bridge I built, my fortress is small for a 7 year, 89 dwarves, have a dungeon master, no baron(ess) or king, no HFS, from what I've learned from that, is that when you pause and plan out a large project over a long time, it takes even longer to build it if you don't have a large amount of masons or whatever.
Overall, I want to plan out small amounts, then build it, then plan, etc., but it all depends on whether you can handle having no fortress for a while, and on your ability to plan it out, and of course if you can withstand gobbos or whatever coming in. I would build a fortress good enough to withstand an ambush to begin with, then plan it out.

I got everything except a chasm and magma pool, don't need them though, bottomless pit and magma flow is enough.

Sigh...
Now I have 4 different DF folders, one for revealing and such, two for porting back to 40d9 and 40d, and now one for 40d11.

My dwarves love to engrave cedar and saguaro, and I don't have those on my map... And squares, and dwarves surrounded by dwarves...

right on half your population...

I regularly get 4 wagons, and I NEVER give them a single dwarfbuck in profit, I always make them get zero profit margin yea, I'm an ass to my caravans, but at least I don't bring carp meat when I've set carp to [immolate]
Fun times...
