That's great the trade licenses survived the inferno.  Now you can get some serious coinage.

Looking very cool. Keep up the awesome building.

Like grim said there's lots in the trade depot. I think there might be a trade license.

From what I saw every town portal dwarf i summoned showed up in therapist but took a bit to show up in ui. The missing number is definitely my guy going high priest. He did that tame thing before when he went normal priest.

I'd suggest use my legendary praying to pray for soft metal constantly. I don't think there is any gold on the map. I'll churn out gold like crazy and if there's a trade license out there you can sell any platinum that shows up. Maybe use the gold to call that dwarven steel caravan. The wells are a threat. Before the end of my turn I ran about 15 water from booze reactions so you should have some.

The hammer chamber is sealed off but the chamber is connected to the temple structure above it. So if you dig into that temple now the demons will get in. I'm pretty sure nothing can get to the caverns from the mysterious structure. I know the demons can fly to the hammer chamber I saw a few in there.

Also we have black powder now so we could start towards machine shops for turrets. Relying on town portal may make a large mechanized fighting force necessary.

Ah my character is tame because he is in the middle of the 9 month progress towards High Priest.  He will probably come out of it around summer.

That unknown material wall also confused me.  I never went in there.  Assumed it was abandoned when frost giants showed up.

oh, is that what a lobotomy does.  neat!

Yep 20% slower speed, no fear,no pain,  , no emotion ie no happy or sad thoughts, likes fighting. Also mental stats down to 1. They make great hold the line tank fighters especially if in a guild. They are also good crafters once legendary.  I don't know if they can have strange moods or not. They also make great lever pullers when your fortress is already invaded.

Glad you figured it out. There are places only the dead are meant to go. When warlock comes out try embarking there. See how they react to that deadly of a coating.

Solitaire has a good point about snow. If it's cold your spring embark might be unmelted. It may not be deadly clouds but deadly snow. Maybe dfhack clean and flee under ground as fast as possible.

Ok.  I'm going to punt my turn if anyone wants it. 

It's running really oddly on my computer.  It jumps between 26 and 36fps and then randomly hangs for long moments randomly, and one top of that, getting anyone to do anything seems to be wonky.  I tried disbanding militias to get more dwarves, removing burrows, adding burrows, and every dfhack trick I could to get dwarves to move in something resembling a normal fashion, but things are going so slow and dwarves are seemingly ignoring the normal rules for me.  I just have a hard time sitting and watching the game tick by.  I restrict labors, and people still do nothing.  It has become tedious to the point of driving me insane.

Could the fight in the underworld be screwing up pathing? I'll test my save see what my dwarves do too.

Could the fight in the underworld be overwhelming pathfinding?
