Got screwed on the caravan because I forbade all bauxite from the stocks screen, and my depot is bauxite. The wagons couldn't path so all I got was a couple of mules carrying 3 bins of leather and some trinkets.
At least I finally found some good ore. A magnetite lode with a platinum vein.
I also built a bunch of screw pumps set to manual in the archery ranges, and almost all my dwarves have pump operation active. I've had a few ambushes at this point, none too critical but military is starting to become a concern. Now that I have iron finally I can start raising an army properly.

A rose gold spear? Ooh, I'd kill for one of those! What was it called?

"Palacemountain". Relatively sensible, actually.

You learn something new every day, and today's something is "Boustrophedon". :) That's some serious metalworking setup you've got there.
