Sign me up. And when I get dorfed, I wish to be a hammerdorf who likes silver.

But microcline is the best mineral ever! The wiki says so!

Wiki is maintained by people, and people are fallible. You could always go change it.

You mean people like for instance you? No? Me neither. Just not a big fan of cleaning up someone else's mess.

If you're not going to fix information you know is wrong, don't complain when other people repeat it.

"Okay, that's it, I'm taking over this fort."

Nobody responded.

"This isn't the usual teenage rebellion crap, I'm actually gonna do it."

"Then do it, Unib," the militia commander said. "Anyone would be better than McFry," he muttered.

I don't know why they all hated McFry so much. Then again, you put a dwarf who's, uh, "not all there", in a position of power, and bad things are gonna happen. What were they expecting? I kinda pitied the guy, actually. I figured I didn't have to tell him I was taking over the fort. I wasn't even sure he realized he was the leader to begin with.

"Okay, um. My first executive order is, uh, dig out an office for me. Down by the magma sea. And dig a place for a glass furnace, while you're there." I tacked on something useful to my completely selfish request, figuring they'd respond better that way.

So I wandered through the fort, to get a feel for what we had, and conversely for what we needed.

We have:
Some lavish, uh, round rooms, connected by hallways. One of them is being extended downwards. ?????
A room where we stuck a bunch of things without any regard to efficiency or logic.
Make that two.
A dining room.
And the forges.

Which means we need:
PROPER BEDROOMS.
A place for all these workshops aside from "wherever they'll fit".
Farm plots for things that aren't plump helmets.
And someone to cook all those vegetables into tasty meals.

I've got a lot of work to do...

So I started by having two more picks made. Moar miners. In fact, one of the new miners is me. What better way to show my leadership capacity than by actually putting some effort into getting my plans accomplished, eh?

I dig some bedrooms, some workshops, and a hospital out of those weird-shaped middle areas in the round room hallway, and set standing orders to make certain items.

My office is dug out. I couldn't have it overlooking the magma sea as it was, so I channeled out some floor. Made the window myself, as well.

Migrants. Nine more mouths to feed. ...Fine.

Um. How do I let them in? We don't seem to have a drawbridge yet... Guess it's time to build one?

Wow, that was fast.

6th Felsite, 101

Steel. We need steel if we want to run a military. (Fuck lesser metals.)

But we have no coke. What's more, there doesn't seem to be a single sedimentary layer anywhere on the site, which means we can't make any coke.

So no steel. ... I don't have a plan B.

7th Felsite, 101

Oh, right, wood.

On a totally unrelated note, do we have a well or some such thing?

Also, we should make a buncha bins and such out of all this useless metal. And let's face it, most of it is useless. Like the lead, for example.

14th Felsite, 101

If I'm going to leave the drawbridge down all the time so the lumberjacks can get us our logs, I should probably have some defenses by the fort entrance. Cage traps, I guess? Also we need more axes, this is going too slow.

19th Felsite, 101

An elven caravan, huh? ... Maybe they'll have...eh, something, I guess. Heh. I wonder how horrified they are to see us chopping down trees right in front of them.

23rd Felsite, 101

A buncha wood, a few ropes, some stupid useless crap, some cages... is that a tiger? We take the wood, some berries and seeds, and the kitty. In exchange, we give them a buncha green glass goblets. Now we need to make an outdoor farm...

19th Hematite, 101

Fucking skelephants. Looks like the Dyer UmbrageOfSnow gets to live up to his title. And they got McFry, too, which I don't have a clever way to say. Everyone get inside now I guess?

20th Hematite, 101

They got a miner I don't know too! What are these creatures, why are they killing us, I can't han


'billybobfred', Fortress Leader has been struck down

This is a pretty awesome idea.

Add me to the dorfing list for whatever year is open. I request the position of bookkeeper, but if that's already taken then do whatever.

Also if I want to do a timeline, I just use the save linked in the first post and start now, right?

Start a fort. Play a year. Upload the save somewhere for the next guy.

We are, huh? I never keep track of that stuff. ... Which I guess makes me a terrible boyfriend. And it can't help my leadership skills, either. Come to think of it, what must the dwarves think of the last-minute announcement that my girlfriend is taking over the fort instead of Dragooble?

I can't build a dining room without a mist generator. It's just not a thing I can do. And of course, it has to be perfectly centered, with all the tables facing the statues... I'm a bit OCD about my dining rooms, it seems.
