Bigger update this time, so pictures in spoilers
--------------------------------------------

Bloody elves. Glacial goes insane in front of them, and what do they want?


The mountainhomes? This elf was obviously mad too! It might be infectious... Best get him to go away ASAP.


Sure, why not. We can just ignore it if we need to.


Andreus managed to haggle him up to 122 trees. No point in needlessly annoying elves, no matter how hilarious it is.
Now, one of my more important goals as leader: get this industry sorted. On various levels on the staircase will be workshop areas, consisting of a large group of similar workshops and a stockpile for either what they need, or the products. This one here will probably be for stone furniture i.e. masons and mechanics.


Meanwhile Glacial, running around the hills of Failcannon in his insane state, ran into a skeletal horse. Needless to say, hilarity ensued.


Predictably, he had his head kicked in. But that meant that the skeletal menace would no longer be distracted, and Failcannon was missing half its army. Meh, it’ll go away if we ignore it.
Seeing as Spanner needed fresh water, I decided it was for the good of all of use to rebuild the pump. Only this time nearer the fort.


Anyway, seeing that I wasn’t doing much, I appointed myself manager of this place. Besides, I’m the only one who’ll understand the work orders.
Workshops churning out boring stuff like doors or block will be like this:


And ones where useful work is done will be like this:


And here’s the stone furniture level in all its glory (note how the workshops are colour coded, red for professionals, grey for part timers) :


I think, for all my hard work here, I deserve a treat:




Also, some kid was just born.


Yay.

Work on the second workshop level is now underway. This time it’s carpentry.


Everything was going great, until...


We quickly build a forge for him, and he got to work (you can also see in this picture our new statue garden. All the masons, including the 2 high master ones, are at work, and I put statues on repeat and forgot to turn it off. Andreus, you’ve got 4 statues in your room now.


Meanwhile, a skeletal groundhog was annoying some workers, so I sent Vee to go shoot it.

It collapsed after two shots, making up for Vee sleeping through our last hour of need.


   

Will this mood succeed? And will it be useful? Find out next time!

If only we could buy silk clothing.

So the previous overseer came and shoved a load of paperwork into my hands, saying ‘Screw this, you take over’. Finally. I knew my natural talent would shine through. So let’s have a look at this fort...

THE HELL?
Where is anything? Where’s the mason’s workshops? And the mechanics? And the booze? Also, why’s no-one doing anything?



I quickly sorted through the jobs, sorting them into two kinds of dorf: useful and not. The useful dorfs got ordered to do nothing but their best skills, and the useless ones got told to do everything else (hauling, wall build et.c.). Note to later leaders: set the profiles on any workshop you make to only lets good dorfs work there.
From what I understand, the leader had plans to set up some kinda mist generator in the meeting hall. Now I like a nice bit of sparkly mist as much as any dorf, so I happily continued his requests. I also found some weird room out in the sea.



Neat. I’ll have it engraved and make it into my personal chambers. Probably extend it too.
I also found a rather confusing note.



Evidently a lever of some kind once stood here, and was not supposed to be pulled. Ever. How boring.
In an attempt to make this fortress a little more organised, I made plans for a huge staircase to be dug, around which we could base our home.



Even in this hellhole, apparently you can find some happiness. Turkey and Lupusater have gotten married. Luckily, they did not hold any celebration. Probably because we’ve got nowhere to celebrate.



 As if spurred on by this, our militia commander ‘Spanner’ and our armourer ‘Glacial’ also got married.



In preparation for the mist generator, I ordered somebody to empty buckets of water down a hole until we had sufficient water for it to run.



Fuckwits couldn’t find anywhere to get water from. We live by the fucking seaside. How hard can it be to find some water?
Oh goody, migrants. A ton of useless idiots, and not one but two high master masons. Neat. Also of note was the oddly named ‘Vee’, an experienced hunter who I promptly put in the military (you wanted danger, and now you’re expected to protect Battlefailed. Have fun.) As other migrants ran around shitting themselves at the mere sight of a zombie ground hog, she shot it in the face.



As soon as the migrants began to reach Failcannon itself, Glacial suddenly went mad. Speaking in a voice that was not his own, he demanded someone to build him a crafts workshop. The migrants’ first impression was some nutty dwarf demanding a workshop to be built. Welcome to fucking Failcannon.
At least he calmed down once we built him a workshop. He grabbed four pieces of gypsum and started working away feverishly.



Also some random nobodies got married.  But I don’t really care.



What will Glacial make? Find out next time!

Awesome. Dowloading now.

Spanner, 4 points in hammerdorf, 3 in shield user and armour user.

So I'm the only one who's gone mad with power when comes to using up all the points?

Awesome.
