Here it is guys, last update containing both fall and winter!
************************************
From the Notes of Rentorian, Master Number Cruncher
Sandstone the Ninth, 254
Goden Feshkivish threw a tantrum today to protest the long military duty. Although, his tantrum seemed to consist of nothing but walking around grumbling.
Sandstone the Tenth, 254
Goden threw another tantrum today, this time he just went to get a drink . It's nothing like the tantrums I've heard happen in other forts where dwarves go insane and strike down their neighbors but I've loosened the military schedule and given each squad three months off a year to try and prevent more tantrums.
*OOC: I was really worried when I got the announcement that Goden was throwing a tantrum. When I checked the announcements I saw that he had already thrown one and I had missed it. Not really sure why things happened that way...*
Sandstone the Fourteenth, 254
Seven more migrants today, nothing happened for months and now we've had tantrums and migrants and Sandstone isn't even over yet!
Sandstone the Thenty-Eigth, 254
Imush Tobultogum gave birth to a girl today, she's joined the ranks of people who can carry two children and still do their jobs properly.
Timber the Seventeenth, 254
Etur Medtobegen started muttering something about fairies controlling his brain and ran off to the jewelers workshop, I doubt we'll be getting a legendary weapon out of this.
Timber the Eighteenth, 254
The outpost liaison was sighted today leading a caravan from the mountain homes, hopefully they have good news.
Timber the Twentry-Fourth, 254
Etur finished making his secret project, Gemsit Ag. He is also now considered a legend among gem setters.
Timber the Twenty-Sixth, 254
An bush squad of goblins was sighted outside! I can only hope that no one is lost in the attack.
.....
With the help of the caravan guards we were able to weather the attack without a single casualty! There were a few injuries but those will heal in time.
Timber the Twenty-Eighth, 254
I concluded business with the traders today. I was able to get several hundred units of beer and food, as well as several bins of cloth and leather. I also sent a couple thousand in gifts to the king to show how our outpost has been prospering.
Moonstone the Fifth, 254
The Forgotten Beast Aco appeared in the caverns beneath the fortress. Fortunately he can't fly and the only way into our fortress from the cave is a set of hatches in the ceiling.
*OOC: I think I did better drawing this one, just sayin'*
Moonstone the Thirteenth, 254
I have ordered the construction of a set of weapon traps as a last defense against invaders should they get past our other traps and our soldiers. Each of the traps contains 5 serrated steel discs and 5 giant axe blades, all crafted of our finest steel. I am almost tempted to let some of our enemies reach them to see how well they will work once the construction is done but that is likely far in the future given how quickly some dwarves have been working.
Opal the Second, 254
Sibrek Erarsibrek gave birth to a baby girl...
I'm starting to notice a trend here...
Opal The Twenty-Second, 254
The Arena is complete and the first goblins have been dropped in, I need only wait for the resu-
Sorry for cutting off so suddenly, I was just hit in the face by the arm of one of the goblins that was dropped down there, two stories down! I think this was a success.
On a side note the weapon traps are complete, any intruder that escapes the other traps and our mighty army will be met with a swirling corridor of steel death.
*OOC: That was hilarious! The goblin landed on a dwarf and they both just sat there, stunned for about a second, then every dwarf in the arena just swarmed the poor bastard and tore him apart! It was beautiful. I'll be leaving a few prisoners for the next person to play with, don't worry.*
Obsidian the Twenty-Eighth, 354
This shall be my last entry as overseer, the mayor came up to me today and told me it was time for me to resign. I'm not sure why but I heard rumors about my how he lost nearly three inches of his beard in one of the weapon traps I had installed. In any case my time as overseer is over and I will hand the badge on to Sepharis and go back to my ledgers, they're so much easier to understand.
********************************
Sorry for the lack of pictures this time through, not much to take pictures of to be honest, everything either was over pretty fast and not worth capping or just boring everyday stuff.
- Dealt with the siege
- Gave everyone their own room and expanded the bedrooms
- Gave the mayor appropriate quarters
- Made a large batch of clothing. 30 of most of the clothing types
- Increased military to three 5 dwarf squads and gave them 3 months off a year
- Made an underground fishing platform
- Made opulent rooms with steel furniture and doors for myself
- Found the magma and set up new furnaces down there, mapped the f2 hotkey to their location
- Lots of steel production, lots of armor and weapons
- Expanded the tombs
- Expanded the wood storage so we won't run out as easily when under siege
- Added prisoner quarters
- Added an arena and a hole in the arena ceiling to drop prisoners into. Just move up to the mining level to find the hole to drop people into.
- Laughed as the elves were killed by a titan spitting on them
- Ignored the FB Aco
- Drafted a lot of people as miners to increase our mineral reserves(The Miners all have the mining and stone engraving labors enables, nothing else)
- Two artifacts, one awesome crossbow, on useless figurine
- Added my own line of traps to our defenses
- More than doubled our created wealth through intensive steel production
I made over 3 mil created wealth this turn, holy friggen' crap steel is expensive.
If you want to look at the fort I'd suggest just downloading the fort and just takin' a look around.
File is uploading as I type
