First off let me apologize for any issues with pictures or story... This is my first time I've ever uploaded any and the first time I've ever dealt with a succession game. I don't even have the pictures uploaded yet, trying to figure that out right now. Issues with file types, won't accept bmp's. I'll deal with it later though. | First off let me apologize for any issues with pictures or story...

What the hell was that? First some lunatic with a crossbow screams at me over and over if I brought wood, then I nearly get brained by a stone-fall trap. They must really be paranoid over here or something. I finally got admitted inside where its at least somewhat warmer than outside, damn glad I finally didn't have to deal with all that sun anymore. I haven't the slightest idea why well over a hundred Dwarves would come to this Armok-forsaken arctic hellhole in the middle of nowhere, and I don't think even they know that much. But for the time being, we must live with it. | What the hell was that?

− | I asked for a drink while I look over our reports and stockpile records. We've got plenty of food for now, seems most of the military use crossbows. I reached for my drink... And for a moment there, I thought it was the most watered-down, tasteless booze ever made, but it really WAS water. Is that what we've been drinking down here for six years? That's getting fixed immediately, even if I have to shorten down our number of mouths to feed. I'll take a good look at our infrastructure and workshop placement and the like also, see if anything can be improved. Things aren't too bad, I guess, and we have magma available...

But no one seems to have lifted a finger to use it yet. And it's been six years. We're going to work on that too. |
For safety reasons first thing I did was have a look at the various levers we have... Not one of them have a note on them, no way of telling exactly what they're supposed to do. While I can make some educated guesses I'm gonna test a few of them out to see what they do. | For safety reasons first thing I did was have a look at the various levers we have...

I had to order most of them torn down and rebuilt, but it looks like plenty of dwarves are willing to help. (Fortifications HAVE to sit ON A WALL to provide the extra protection bonus for creatures behind them. If they're on open space the enemy can just shoot through the little crack between them and the wall.) I drafted a few of our more non-essential dwarves as masons, though there's a bit of a joke going around about whether a dwarf that carves ice should be called a mason or a sculpter. No complaints, though, so we'll have those fortifications back in no time. Rather surprisingly, some nobles and even the tax collector showed up to help renovate. |

Also today the Elven traders showed up. I guess they now consider us some of their best friends or something for not killing all their precious imaginary trees. Isn't it kind of funny that they go batshit on anyone who cuts down trees but they bring wood themselves in caravans? Oh, well. Won't hear me complaining. People going crazy hoping they brought wood, the aforementioned lunatic and his buddies are on the roof too, hope they don't accidentally shoot them....... Ugh, what am I saying...? | Also today the Elven traders showed up. I guess they now consider us some of their best friends or something for not killing all their precious imaginary trees.

They brought quite a bit of wood, though they could have brought more if they had the stones to make some wagons. Ethical works, indeed... We traded off a bunch of finely made stone goods for all their wood, a handful of berries and several bins of cloth. Not a bad deal. A bunch of our Dwarves are being lazy and the drawbridges aren't all done yet so I ordered the military to guard for a while. |

Here's a general report of our progress so far. Might have to get more food production in but it's stable right now. We aren't drinking water anymore, praise Armok.

2 days later and the migrants are STILL coming. They still haven't all got in the fortress yet. Thankfully they brought a miner, axedwarf and a hunter with them, someone who's useful. I'm a bit worried about just how far our food stocks are going to stretch, though... Looks like we'll need to lay in more farms. Either that or get more brewers/cooks in. (Framerate is KILLING me right now, thanks to all these Dwarves... Might have to take measures.) | 2 days later and the migrants are STILL coming. They still haven't all got in the fortress yet.
