Pagemouth. Granted, it's not the name I necessarily wanted when I accidentally hit "e" while trying to add Tiger Blood barrels to my embark wagon, but I've come to like it.
Pagemouth is for the most part not the kind of site dwarves choose. It has a 40+ tile-wide river and a double aquifer, endless trees and no stone to be seen.
I'm not sure how long this fort's been running now, but I've received three immigrant waves and had ~15 dwarves give birth since I hit 200 population, leaving current figures at about 230. Not sure if it will be stopping anytime soon :X
The forest provides plenty of wood and edible plants, the river provides fish, and the elephants provide bolts, meat, and hides. Last year I successfully finished penetrating the aquifer and quarrying stone, and a small magma forge has been built.
POIs coming later.
( 65 Late Spring → onwards )
Without stone for mechanisms, I couldn't discern a safe way to breech the aquifer in the first year, so instead I set up an extensive soil dwelling for the starting dwarves and the first few immigrant waves, using all wooden furniture and blocks. Little did I know how long this would be the fortress center. Fortunately, it's reasonably efficient, even if cramped and sandy. - Noble Digger
