I'll be starting my turn once the temperature in my town cools down (it's 44C) atm. It'll be in the next few days, maybe two days from now? My comp doesn't really enjoy the heat.

Much rejoicing
LOL, I swear I was just thinking that.  Can't wait to read the stories from the new Overseers.  Depending on how things go, I may consider creaking a mockup of the Fortress in the Source Engine.  A barren speck of land with seemingly no value, in a world with strangely absent history.  Yet the Dwarves find a glorious underground realm to build the new Mountain Home.  Can't get much more classic than that.

(COUGHS)
Um.. so yeah...
kind of forgot about this...

I REALLY Recommend using this Upload...
ok sure its Six <Months late./.. But I cleaned up a LOT of mess in the fort.
about to head out for now, again STRONGLY reckoned those here download it to take a look at the changes I made.
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8336

Changes to Fortress:
A PROPER outer wall:  A single One block big high wall to defend the first GREAT Dwarf City? I think not.
Consolidated workshops... I swear these where littered around helter skelter with equally random stock piles.
Begin laying out an underground City.  Or at least trying to.  Started construction of a "Halls Of Justice" with jails and courtroom as well as PROPER Crypts for the whole population, not just a few tons for the nobles.
Extended cave housing.  I like the idea of windy testing houses built into the cave ceiling, trying to make lots of these in the central city.
Re organized supply chains and constructions.  Basically Repurposed the stock rooms and specialized, its a bit daunting having GINAT stockpiles with everything all mixed together.
Added a Treasure room.  Basically a Room where all the stockpiles are set to "MASTERWORK" only... Anytime someone makes a MASTERPIECE, it ends up there.  Inside is a forge, crafts shop and a gem workshop.  Basically send a Legendary artist in and lock the door, and then he will decorate Masterwork items only.

Again, Sorry I almost let this thing Die, it was mine to start with.. have had a LOT of personal issues recently, and, well, it just didn't FEEL right to be playing the game until just recently... Really hope the Upload works.

Great! Glad to have you back, Crossroads!

I'll use your save then, because it's the most recent.

Not much happened, which was rather lucky...
There was one ambush, which was easily dealt with, and some elves came that we bought Vast amounts of clothing from and some Giant animals.

For the most part I was able to use the time Organize and Overhaul the Fortress as much as possible, and BOY did it need it!
Right now the biggest concerns are Clothing people, the dwarves seem to burn through a loT of clothing, and no matter how many pigtails I plant, there never seems to be enough thread.
Another problem is general unhappiness, mostly caused it seems from Militia not having enough breaks in their training schedule,
Another HUGE problem is that the Baron is throwing a tantrum every five minutes because SOMEONE has a bedroom better than his!  I Can't figure out WHO it is, but its REALLY pissing the baron off!!!

Food stocks is ok, but we are running low on meat and there REALLY does not seem to be much in the way of livestock.  We have TONS of bunnies, which give no meat, and Puppies, which are mostly used for war dogs.  So anyone that sees Cows and such PLEASE buy them!
Another reason we need Animals? SOAP!!!
Soap production is basically running on fumes, and without a steady supply of Fat we are going to run out VERY quickly.
Don't know what can be done about that, but something needs to.

In terms of projects?  Well there is the pump stack idea of a Water fall over the entrance.
that is a VERY complicated plan.. Not only do you have to have the water being pumped up from an infinite source, you will have to power it.. Hand pumping from Dwarves is not an option.
Also you will need an effect draining system to prevent HUGE amounts of crud and filth piling up from the Dwarves as it is washed off.

Oh, I am not sure but there MIGHT be a sleep sickness thing going on, not sure, I haven;t seen anyone in bed recently, and I am worried they have some sickness preventing them from sleeping?

Oj just a quick question...
For those that downloaded my save.. Did it load ok? I wasn't sure it compressed correctly, and want to make sure it wasn't corrupted or something.
