We are starting the second year now, and 38 dwarfs came to help us. They are welcome, even if about 13 are idle most of the time.
But with their help, we finished the dungeon tower and the outer wall is slowly forming. We planned on doing it all with (ugly) microline, but we might be short, maybe a caravan could send us supplies. We would better be quick, some goblins already attacked us and we can see shadows at horizons.
In fact, most of the fort is build. We would like to find magma to power up forges, but we don't even know if we will dig to find it as it would alter our beautiful layout.

I like the layout! The farming fields are set up for maximum effiency. For best efficiency, you might want to put a food stockpile in the center, or perhaps a Z-level up in a constructed room. This way dwarves won't have to travel far to harvest.

Its a cool layout, me likes. Your dining rooms don't have enough tables for chairs though I think, some chairs overlap on the same table and the dwarves may complain about that. I like the planning and the separation between working, living and storage.

Thanks Dorten, Markavian` and Flok
Beautiful, but not enough to my mind. Thus i had started the construction of a Temple, hoping some come to pray and offer.
But I was building defences too late. And after a well shut down invader wave, a second successfully sneaked into my fort while i had everyone inside.
Looks like they dodged traps, and they killed a lot civilians. I had 8 (3 as Master skilled) wrestlers, but half died. I was surprised that they were well equiped (iron everywhere).
Moreover, i did't have enough microline to finish the outerwalls. Plus, this is really boring to build the walls on slopes.
All in all, i decided to restart a similar fort elsewhere. As this is my first fort starting this version, and first "good looking" fort, i had good experiences. I will keep those new data in mind to design the new.
