I enjoyed the poem as well.

If we have/get an artifact instrument, perhaps that could be used to call our heroes back to fight once more.

"Make Skull Totems" was set to repeat in spring sometime.  Maybe we should set some up in your room?

OK, RoughRogue has a Iron Battleaxe and Bronze Shortsword.  I'll keep cranking out iron and steel gear.  Military training has been changed from 10 every month to 2+2+2 every month.  Orders look good for gathering up corpses and vermin from outside.

Here is the spy report on everyone:
FireCrazy is doing combat training
AseaHeru is doing combat training too
Grim is giving a striking demonstration
Monitor Lizard is giving a different striking demonstration
Hissinh Walnuts is giving a dodging demonstration
Rough Rogue is going to grab her new sword
Grimmash is placing some furniture
Cyatica is also placing furniture
Maskwolf is going to get some food
Fingers is having a drink
Daria is gathering plants to help out with the food shortage
Spazbot is smoothing walls in the bedrooms
Nuckles got talked into smoothing bedroom walls also

< builds huge wall around fort, making sure no  evil adventurers come in and science up the place/ burn to ground.

I had a similar idea.  Doing a bunch of 1x5 embarks around a main fortress and building walls.  I think it will have in impact on invading armies?  Either they wouldn't be able to target the utopia inside for attacks, or they would have to fight through the outer fortress gates.

In a future release it would be cool to get alerts if nearby settlements are sieged, or fall.

We won't be running out of bolts for a while, that's for sure.  The bowmakers have built some skill levels and there are plenty of =crossbow= now, so we can trade away the junky ones to the next caravan.  Three traps in the funhouse are full of crossbows since we have so many.  Smoothing operations have started, I might end up mass-designating everything that isn't an ore or flux.  There's plenty of dwarfs still who have fighting experience.  I might just put them in squads with only a weapon so they can do individual combat drills when idle.

Quote from: 4maskwolf on November 23, 2013, 09:59:32 pm
Oh, and check the standing orders to see if gather vermin outside is on or not.  No need for necrofied vermin.
Good point, yeah I will check the orders for that.

It looks like your dwarf is dabbling with the axe, wrestling, and ninja moves.  Is Axe okay, or would you like to choose another weapon?

Personal Diary of Nuckles
I was reviewing the fighting equipment some more, and told the furnace operators to melt down all of the large-sized human gear.  One of the smelters will only be melting things for a while.  With all this magnetitie the other one can start melting that for iron, and maybe even get us some steel.  I know first hand that we need better equipment for our front line fighters!

When showing the new squads our shooting gallery next to the courtyard, my path was blocked by a large fungiwood.  How are we going to take pot shots at the gobbos when we let the next batch in?!  Someone will need to get this thing chopped down.[/i]

My arms have been feeling better lately, I got a crutch from Dr. AseaHeru.  Somedwarf named Ineth claimed a mechanic shop, right in the middle of my big project!  This will surely put us even further behind schedule.

3 Felsite
It was a mechanism, with a picture of that crooked king on it?!  But Ineth calls the thing “Hoary Slaughters”.  Seeing as how we plan to slaughter the king, perhaps it isn't that bad.  Grim says its worth about 23,000 dwarfbucks.

Today is the day.  Let's let them in and see how this thing does.  Wait, the goblins left?  Unreal.  Let's go gather up to the surface and look for loot then.

1 Hematite
I caught someone going outside to farm.  Those fields are still active?  I know we want more blade weed, but that is a deathtrap.  Let's get the courtyard roofed over, then look at building an outdoor farm that's safe-like.

14 Hematite
Everything is looking good on the courtyard project.  Now there is no risk of getting all shot up if we want to gather swag from the courtyard in the middle of a siege.

When I was walking back this dwarf Erush was just laying in an old hospital?  That's one of Walnuts friends I believe, wonder what is going on?  I'll get someone to transfer him down to the main hospital place.  And somedwarf said they are running out of bones to make crossbows and bolts.  It doesn't bother me too much, I think we have plenty for now.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Early Summer
Moving Erush did the trick, one of the real doctors fixed him up and he's resting now.  Something happened today which hasn't happened in years:  2 of the Breweries ran out of plants.  Our stocks are holding for now, but there is unrest in the streets.  We can gather up some of the plants in the underground mushroom farm, I'm no cook so who knows if that will help.  This outdoor farm stuff just became more important.

Mid Summer
The farm project is doing alright, we just got some seeds in the ground.  Maybe we can turn the walls into another tower one day.  Speaking of dirt, a soap industry has been setup.  We don't exacly have the cleanest water in the well though.  It seems like there is too much to do around here.  I need to get back to linking levers and picking locks.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

On top of all that other stuff, we are still working on making armor for everyone.  Only having 1 anvil is slowing us down... which is why I should ask for another one to be forged.  With only a few smiths in the hideout this stuff takes forever.  There is good news, we got enough equipment so the Snakes of Brass (Walnut's squad) can all use axes.

---   ---
OOC:  I haven't checked the linkage in the king's throne room/ death trap yet.  Our hospitals have so many chests that there wasn't any cloth in the stockpile.  I zoned out a little towards the end, wanted to follow some of the main characters around and see what they are up to.  I'll start off with that next time.

Our main melee squad is using pick-and-choose style of equipment.  (Doing it like that makes this feel like a RPG, maybe I should do this for the named/famous dwarves in all my games.)  The Axe squad and new crossbow squads have uniforms.  I should check the main crossbow squad to make sure everyone has a quality weapon.  Do we want any kind of armor on the crossbowers?

I'd give it a three out of nine flying pigs' chance of being released before March.
This reminded me of Conan O'Brien's video game rating system.

The next release will come like a Kobold thief in the night.  One overseer will be ready, another will be asleep.  One Urist will be mining, the other will be attending a party at the fungiwood table.

I wouldn't mind seeing short specific tutorials on a per-topic basis.  Maybe even per technique for things like exploration mining and aquifer piercing.

I looked on the wiki and the tutorial page has some links to video channels.  However, it would be much easier if related videos were linked right there in the topic you are already reading about.

2 Slate, 133
I was looking over a report of the weapons and we have close to 200 crossbows.  I put the word on the street that we are looking for anyone and everyone who can shoot.  We came pretty close to getting 2 full gangs.  With a little coin some of the younger dwarfs with nothing else to do were persuaded to try it too.

The Artifices of Roughness, an all-female group of sharpshooters, got together under a sassy chick called Olin.  There are a few mothers in this click, but they wanted some time away from the kids.

Then there's Nil who formed the Courageous Sabers, who actually use crossbows.  I think Nil is trying to fool someone into thinking they will be safe at long range.  Might make for a good joke after all.

10 Slate
My skull crushing days might be over.  I've asked Daria to take over command of the gangs.  She's taken to calling herself “The Empress” anyway so let's see how things go.  I might still call the shots and change around some squads, these injuries give me a chance to slow down and look things over. 

Hold on.  It's been a while, I better go check on the Funhouse.  Seems like all of the traps should be in place by now.  Are you writing everything I say?  This part isn't supposed to be part of the journal.  Orshar damn you.

This guy is kinda funny.  I wonder if he knows I lifted 10 dwarfbucks off him last night?

OOC: All of our named dwarves are in the military right now, even if your dwarf doesn't know how to fight.  Does anyone want “out”? Monitor Lizard and Fire Crazy also have mining active.

Daria's the militia commander now (if she is okay with that).

Personal Diary of Nuckles
Maskwolf was spotted in the stockpile, and I had Eshtan and Lorbam go slow her down.  As I arrived she stuffed a final silver bolt into a now bulging quiver and leveled her crossbow at me.  None of us wanted to get shot so we backed off a little.

It didn't take much to get Maskwolf to step down from being overseer, in fact I got the feeling that it was her plan even before we showed up.  I wish I could say we beat her up, but with that “DONT TOUCH ME” look of hers and the crossbow ready to go I didn't even start an argument.  Fingers helping me limp away didn't improve my street credibility either...

Not an hour after that Grim and Hissin' Walnuts found me and said there was a mass of Goblins on our turf.  And that's about when I decided that it is time for me to take over and lead this place.  Armok knows what kind of half-cocked crazydwarf would take over and get me killed if I didn't!

24 Granite
Maskwolf had another son today.  From what they tell me she has something like six children now.  We started working on a Goblin Funhouse almost 2 weeks ago, and it will probably take another 2 weeks before it is ready to try out.  I suppose Maskwolf, Monitor, and the rest of the crossbowers can enjoy a little more time off before we get serious with this gang of gobbos.


---   ---
OOC: Direct attempts to kill goblins end up with lots of our dwarfs dead.  AseaHeru has a huge family, a few were interesting but I will have to post next time.  There will either be huge updates this weekend, or very few.  We'll see how it goes!

Try trapping some in the courtyard. Also, I built an archer tower, use it.
I like the new tower, but with at least 1 elite bow goblin and 1 elite crossbow goblin we'll see what happens.  Ambushing a few at a time in the courtyard seems like the best way to go with our current setup.

Could I see the thoughts of those my dwarf has called family?
Sure.  Since so many people have families I might try out the new family tree tool also.

1st Granite, 133
Dr. AseaHeru said I could leave the hospital today.  His crew kept me alive, but I can't say much else for my condition.  It's hard to get around, with my foot hurting like this.  And crutches are not an option, seeing as I can barely hold a spoon now.  Bloody doctor, he's more like a torture artist!

You might be asking yourself who is writing this journal.  Well, as I was limping over to get some Blade this kid comes up and asks if I want to lean on his shoulder a bit.  I wasn't about to say no, and decided he would help me out for a while.  Seeing as how I'm the militia commander, his parent's didn't give me any guff about the matter.

The kid's alright, has a steady hand and a sharp eye.  I've decided to name him “Fingers”, and plan to teach him a bit of my trade.  But first: I have a score to settle with Maskwolf.  She sent us out into an ambush to save the King's caravan.  HANG THE CARAVAN, AND THEIR KING!!  It seems like she is TRYING to kill anyone who's done a little time.  Since I can't carry a weapon right now, I'll round up some of the boys while I look for her.

Fingers Background:
His family moved to Chamberdrums when he was 11.  At first it seemed strange that so few kids wanted to play “Guards and Robbers”.  He caught on after a while and started to practice petty crime.  Seeing a hevily injured old dwarf walking out of the hospital one day, the kid wanted to try picking his pocket.  He didn't exactly get caught, but ended up becoming the old fart's personal servant.

---   ---
OOC: 50 goblins incoming.  Getting them into the courtyard and unleashing death is the first order of business.  I hope it is cool that I'm giving Nuckles an assistant, since he is fairly crippled.

BTW, nice engraving of RoughRogue
