My lavish meals are getting stolen by District P's haulers, lol. 

I'll leave it up to TimelessBob to handle how much those prepared lavish meals when it comes to Caravan day.

I think between Shofet and Sanctume's plant gather power, we will have plenty of prepared meals between us to buy needed caravan items.

Although I still prefer to use stone blocks for my buildings, I will leave that up to TimelessBob.

The only things I have not done so far is dig since I am unsure if that can be done in the first 3 seasons, so doing above ground rooms takes longer to get dorm, dining, and bedrooms up.

Found out something interesting about the cosmology of the world that The City is a part of: The sun rises in the south-west and sets in the south-east.  I literally arcs through only the southern sky, so all shadows point northward.  Likewise, the moon.  It's because The City is situated so far to the north of The Labyrinth.

I have a save I want to upload, but I'm having difficulties with dwarf depot. Do I have to compress the file first?

[Urdothor]

When is the first blueprint due?

Probably, there is a max file size limited for dffd

[Timeless Bob]

1-year blueprints are due next Wednesday,  (the 3rd of February) by noon forum time.  Whatever you have, save the file and compress it (I use the freeware 7-zip utility myself), then post it by that time.  Whatever you've done to your District in that save is what I will be using as the blueprint for your District in that year.  (If you don't post a blueprint save-game, that nothing gets done at that District that year, and it becomes an available District again for other Players.  However, even if you post a save where nothing has been done in your District, you'll remain in control of it for the next time.  On the other side of the scale, if you post a save where ten years of play has created this elaborate building and tunnel system, then I'll be using that instead as the blue-print, and however much of that elaborate plan gets completed, that's where it will be in the next save-game.  A Player can choose to submit the same elaborate file for the next ten in-game years, and I'll continue building and excavating it as much as the miners and builder's allow.  Just so long as the Player continues submitting a save each time Founder's Day comes around again. in the Forum Game.

I can push back the deadline, sure.  Everyone else gets to have the new deadline too, if they want it.
I'll start the combined game on Friday the 5th, using whatever save games have been posted by midnight forum time on Thursday the 4th.
shofet: try using 7-zip to compress your save game, then upload that compressed file to dffd.

[Gwolfski]

and, word of advice, always try to use the .zip format. easier for everyone to open it.

My first game ended with a were-lizard killing over half the pop.

I save scummed once, and this time no were-lizard, but I did sorta planned with a military. 2 of my citizens in my district, and 10 in the District P.

I only had 1 carpenter shop initially, but there was a weapon and armor stock pile in P, so somehow my 2 guys were training wrestling instead of any melee (uniform was set to individual melee choice).

Something else is screwy with burrow as there were no lavish prepared meals created despite having all that available to make in my district.  So, there was little stuff I can trade.  Mostly wood cups and the training weapons traded ok. 

I end up using a bone carver to make bone shell (turtle pond shells): gauntlets, helms and leggings.   Used leather to make 2 armor, high boots, and cloak.  Still had no weapon, so I did not bother trying to setup a forge.  There were mining picks: copper 44, iron 220, decorated bronze picks cost more than the iron, and 1 steel pick at 700+. 

I dug out 2 levels of that square chuck of rock in P, carved matchstick bedrooms, and even furnished it for the rest of the pop.  Made a quick still, kitchen, dininig, and food stock inside with 2 stone doors.

Fortunately, no were-lizard attack, so my last save went peaceful.

I did have to make a depot when the merchant show up.

I made 4 masons in P and had 2 make blocks on repeat--this seems to satisfy my need for blocks that I can safely estimate that I can use stone blocks for flooring instead of logs.  I ran out of logs after consuming both my District and Shofet's district tree cuttings.  I used over 200 logs for flooring.

I did not really min-max my citizens to specific jobs, except for Mr Doren the carpenter.  Focused on farming labors and a few wood crafting.

I could not quite figure out how I got kenaf seeds for planting.  It's either it was milled.  Is the Farmer's Workshop Plant Processing work on above ground cloth plants?  Because I have kenaf threads.  I am waiting for mining pick before I do excavations in my district, as I want to set up a kenaf -> clothing / paper workshops in the future.

Also, anyone know if there are issues regarding to multiple tavern / library / temple locations?

I just followed TimelessBob's use of 7-zip. 

I can upload a regular zip (compressed folder in Windows) too if needed.  Please let me know.

No need.  Your file unzipped just fine.

I played till fall. I probably dug out too much. Priority to should go to the other districts for mining. Getting the bridge up is priority one in my district.

 Here are my orders.

Assign mining, stonecrafting and engraving to Mrs. Iton. Deactivate all gathering besides stone.
Assign mining, masonry, architecture and engraving to Mrs. Feb. Deactivate all gathering besides stone.
Assign Masonry to Mr. Feb. Deactivate all gathering besides stone. Deactivate metalcrafting, armorsmithing.
Assign Mechanics to Mr. Iton. Deactivate all gathering besides stone.
Assign plant gathering to Mr. Uzol

I create two stonepiles, one with everything except obsidian, one only obsidian. Mr. Iton is ordered to make mechanisms from the non obsidian pile all year, switching to obsidian if neccesary. Mr. Feb gets to work making obsidian blocks. If Mrs. Feb gets down time she should also have a workshop to make obsidian blocks with. Mrs. Iton should spend all of her downtime creating obsidian stonepots. Mr. Uzol can assist Olivegrove and be a general hauler.

Priority for my dwarves is getting Olivegrove secured and to dig for magma forges for Lakecastle.
