An amazing magmatic dorf adventure!
So me and some people from #hi are doing some stuff with dwarf fortress. I got the first year, so I get the first post.
It goes me then BishopONE and possibly other people.
Summary of Year 1 (Thorn)
We started off in a fairly flat area with many ponds. Good water, good wood and good food. I began digging into the ground immediately. I made a hole in the ground, since there were no cliffs. We dug two levels down, and made a trading post. Near the trading post we made the first of the main stairs, our first farm (which grows dimple cups year round), and a storage area with a dump attached to the Depot.
On the next level, we constructed several workshops: mason, jeweler, engineer?, and carpenter. I attached the engineer and mason shop to a stone storage room. I gave the other workshops their own storage rooms, as well.
Once that was done, we began mining. We mined about 6 levels down, picking up any resources as we went. During this period, Goden Akruldastot, a bowyer, was possessed. We did not have the workshop he wanted, so he went insane at the beginning of Winter. He went berserk and was killed by my dwarves. Luckily, nobody was seriously injured. His body was dumped unceremoniously in the wild, as we were too busy with other things to give him a proper burial. Perhaps later. We finished mining downwards to discover a very large cave. We walled the cave off and left the floor, not wanting to mine down or around it any further. On the level above this floor, we began constructing living quarters. We had just finished making the bedrooms and office when Spring came, and now it is BishopONE's turn.
We had two waves of immigrants, one liaison, and one caravan. Our population is now 20.

Omnia Mori

K so I'm taking my turn
As soon as I turned the game on I saw everyone dying of thirst, way to leave that detail out. Working on that now

oh yeah
Right, here are our two artifacts.
So basically a spiky neon blue action figure of our founding dorfs. With a cabinet.
This is said cabinet. On it is a picture of itself. On the picture of itself is a picture of itself. On that picture of itself is a picture of itself. On that picture of itself is a picture of itself. On that picture of itself is a picture of itself. On that picture of itself is a picture of itself. The creator mysteriously disapeared.
I'm halfway through my year btw, things are going well, have booze and food, a full kitchen and dining room, more varied farms, a small barracks to house our new ax militia of three. Haven't gotten around to beds since the ones Thorn dug out look sorta sad.
I'll post screenshots of the fort at the end of my turn.

oh yeah
Year two of the amazing #h succesion fort
Thorn you rascal
HERES THE SAVE
So yeah, lots of fixing shit, starting with just not dying.
First things first I streamlined a lot of the extremely narrow pathways throughout most of the fort to keep traveling along efficient.
Secondly I expanded the farms a nice bit. The top farm is for plump helmets while the left farm is currently growing sweet pods, although really the two bottom plots are only for variety as the top plot is enough to sustain us along with our fishing and hunting. Right plot is currently growing plump helmets because we didn't have any other good seeds at the time.
Also here you can see the small barracks-with beds- for our 3 axe dwarf militia, led by Shotgunleg.
Their schedule is set to train constantly all year round, so if they get whiney about that later on you can give them a few months off. As far as I know they are all also armed with axes, which I bought off the years dorf caravan.
Next up is the new above ground fortifications
The walled in area can function as a pasture, theres a door that can be locked at the front entrance, and beyond that are designations for a metric fuck of cage traps.
Right now only a few are completely made, so a goal for the next player should be to make more wooden cages and stone mechanisms, since cagetraps are pretty much our best bet at not dying. I also moved our refuse pile to behind the walls, so that our dorfs don't have to make as large a venture to take out the trash.
As you can see there is also roof access, with fortifications as cover, for if we ever get a good marksdwarf squad together.
Here is a brand spanking new floor, with dual kitchens and one dining hall. Now that we have a good 50 or so dwarfs mucking about, it might be a good idea to increase the size of the dining hall when you get the chance.
Now here is something a little more important, its the bedroom modules I designated to replace Thorns jail cell living quarters.
There are bedrooms designated for 100 or so dwarfs, and every 12 rooms has its own hub, which when built you can go ahead and decide what to do with. My idea was to fill them with statues, tables and chairs so they could function as miniature dining halls to lower the amount of space dorfs have to travel.
Since we obviously don't need bedrooms for 100 dwarfs right this very second and it would probably take a very long time to make that many all in one sitting, every section of the floor has entranceways removed, so that you can simply place one extra block designation to get your miners to fill out the rest of the section. Its pretty great yeah.
Thats pretty much it, in my year there were no casualties, although one dwarf was stricken stark raving mad from a failed mood.
Heres our statistics as of the new year
Hopefully this should be enough food to last the next few turns, and production is still going well, mostly from hunters. The next few players may want to get some more booze flowing however, since in comparison to food there is actually very little drink flowing.
There is only one pressing concern, only a few days before the year ended, this happened
GLOW OH JESUS OH GOD
This is actually sorta a problem, since we don't have all the items she needs. She is probably the most important dwarf in the fort right now, as she is the only one with appraisal skill.
Anyway, thats it for my turn, uploading the save in a few minutes.
Pretty sure Satiknee is up next, then Legsol
