Sure thing.

15th Timber

Bah, apparently we have attracted more deadweight to this fort. Not even a mason to replace the current lazy bastard.

Well, if worse turns to worse, we can send the peasants to go "hunting"

At least my tomb is getting done.

22nd Obsidian

Well, the rest of the dwarves think it's time for me to throw in the towel. Damn them. I told my engravers to carve some images of this fort's first year. Instead I get pictures of dwarves hugging mules.

1st Granite, Early Spring

My reign has ended. Whoever succeeds me should try to accomplish these tasks:

My tomb is designated for more smoothing. Keep it that way.

The entrance is also designated for smoothing. Once that's done, carve fortifications wherever possible.

DIG DEEP! FOR PULLEYLAKE!

The Beginning

Damn the queen. Damn her to hell. Damn her for sending me to this... place! Her constant requests of the Carpenter's Guild made us work harder than ever. We could only do so much, and when we failed, the punishments were harsh. My choice between death by hammerstrikes or going off to some Armok-forbidden wasteland to start a new "Dwarven Fortress" was, admittedly, a tough one. Mainly because both ended with my death... one by iron warhammer or one by elephant tusk.

I chose the tusk.

Once we arrived I immediately ordered an area to be dug out. I have the future in mind: defense near the cliff face is a necessity as I'm sure the glory of "Lakepulley" will attract unwanted visitors.

Above: The plan for the entrance. Fortifications will be placed where possible.

Once that was taken care of, I ordered the miners to dig deeper. Glory lies in the depths!

...and we hit a river.

Not the glory I was looking for. Where's the gold? The platinum? The rubies?! All well, at least we can get a farm up and running.

As a side note, copperblazes has too deeped and I'm busy exploring it now. I'll post a savegame so others can try exploring it in adventure mode as soon as I finaly find the demon.</STRONG>

That would be awesome, but doesn't it take forever to load when you actually get there? One of my too-deeped forts would pause and take about a minute to load. And yours is like, 10 times bigger.

It would definately be worth the wait, however. Very nice job on everything. I don't think Wheelnets will ever be this impressive, and the name isn't as good.

Odd, I had a several year fort with many artifacts, yet none were dropped until the creator was killed. Even if they were much older than 5 years.

EDIT: I usually press SPACE by the way.
