Strike the earth!

I'm Libelnon - relative newbie to both the game and this wiki. Although I suppose I'm a little revolutionary in my ideas... I tend to build my fortresses above ground, using plenty of marksdwarves patrolling the rooftops in search of trouble. Oh, and a couple hammerers and a speardwarf or two in the gatehouse, to really deter those annoying macaques!

Projects

Working on large-area forts in numerous locations. Will keep you posted.

Current World

'Snospaslozgo' - The Past Universes
Large sea in the south, with multiple islands. Large number of lakes across the northern highlands.

Current Fortress - 'Idenoshar'

Year One

Ironically, that's 4 by game time.

4th Granite

Had a quick search around, and surely enough, even still in spring, sections of the river are frozen. The river might be useful for a moat later, because an open drawbridge still functions as a fairly strong door. Began work on a well, knowing that as soon as my booze stocks ran out, I'd be pretty much fekked on the water front. 'Scuse the pun.

14th Slate

Well, whaddya know? Digging in the well recess, i discovered a microcline cluster - unfortunately in the lower level of the well. Ah well. Beggars can't be choosers. And I'm a little OCD in these kinds of things.

11th Felsite

Mission accomplished! With the well up and running, I can begin work on other projects. Firstly - get my meetingplace set up. It's presently in a 9x9 area around the well - so the idea here is to pave that, and then expand the city around that area. Usually easier said then done... So first task? Dig out enough of that Mica deposit near the frozen river section, and get those roads paved!

17th Felsite

Woah, freaky! A whole section of the river melted, just like that! Kinda glad now I didn't go ice mining earlier on, that could've been messy...

13th Limestone

The caravans from home arrived. Whoo. Pity too, I haven't got a trade depot - or any need of one - just now, so they're going to bugger on past.

16th Limestone

Told the liason that we only needed bolts (which is true... to a point) and he buggered off. He wants beer off us, and that's not likely going to happen - only 28 units left between the 7 dorfs I've got, and no chance of any brewable items popping up sometime soon.

12th Timber

Blasted racoons, ran off with my armor. I'll get them, I will... I'll get them!

4th Moonstone

Ah. Obviously didn't think that over as well as I thought. Well's frozen over, and now is practically useless. And beer stocks are dangerously low.
