276 has been a decent year. More permanant forges have been set up, and the outer wall has expanded alot.
This humble grave belongs to my last mayor, one of my Champion's kids who beat out my much less-demanding expedition leader. He promptly started demanging crystal glass, and I promptly told him where to stick it and starved him to death. Unfortunately, this made my hamlet liason, who'd been waiting for a meeting, leave unhappy. I won't be getting my nice shipment of gold next year, and his replacement (another son of the same champion) has gold listed as a preference. Sigh. - Priz

Geat job so far. I hope to build something like this soon.

Thanks! This is my third fort thus far, so I feel pretty safe in saying that if I can do it, literally anyone can.

Mhm. What kind of embark location did you look for?

I'm playing 40d, and don't use any of the handy tools for it beyond the wiki, so I mostly guess at where a good spot is, and the more biomes the better. I always try to have a few features - this embark was supposed to have an underground river, some magma, etc. etc., but I apparently didn't pay enough attention and ended up with a chasm and no metal deposits :s. At least I have lots of multi-colored stone. If I could do it again, I'd probably go for limestone at the risk of losing such a nice valley to work with and having no interesting features.
