The world is generating. I will prospect out a good savage desert, using DFhack to only prospect to find iron. Flux will not be a requirement.
I'll make a new thread with a list of overseers and the actual narrative for this fort.
2 miner
Carpenter/Mechanic
Mason
Hunter
Farmworker (plant, brew, tan, butch, cook)
Crafts?
2 dogs, 1 hunting dog, 2 cats

Random fort name: Torchbridge! A snowy wasteland, begin by the smallest of the dwarven nations to try and find wealth and glory in the cold north before their small country falls to obscurity. New thread forthcoming.

Aye aye captain.

Huzzah!  Torchbridge... sounds commemorative of parting from the Mountainhome in less than... desirable circumstances.
