The fortress population peaked at 50 during the last immigration wave. However a goblin ambush in the winter managed to wipe out the hunter that killed the three fire imps during the first year, and one of the champion wrestlers. Current population is therefore 48 dwarves.
Copper seems to be the main metal ore in this area of the world, although the discovery of some tin has led to the smelting of some bronze bars. Bronze plus recycled goblin iron looks like it will be the main metals used for my military's armour.
( 303 Early Spring → onwards )
This whole area is being turned into a defensive outpost, ready to defend the upper levels against any creatures that should advance from the deep. The central room will have fortifications carved on all sides, allowing marksdwarves to shoot out. A series of bridges will prevent the demons from advancing to the upper levels of the fort. Another bridge, to be built over the pit to the east of the main room, will allow the dwarves to take a short cut during times of safety, saving valuable travel time. Finally the foritifed room to the north-east will house another set of ballistae. - Phlamethrower

Something (probably the crossbow) is probably forbidden on your marksdwarves.
