Dwarf Fortress
Over the Christmas break I wanted to play Dwarf Fortress again. I had a fortress I had started a while back. This is my third fortress. It's called Monkeybuttocks and founded by The Fool of Ships from the civilization The Bells of Sliding. I am playing the 40d version. My particular map has attractive features such as a chasm, a brook source, magma, forest, flux stone (somewhere) and sand.
I am about five years into my fortress. Everything has been pretty good so far. I have about 162 dwarves now and a Count. The previous Count had an unfortunate accident along with his tax collector after mandating the production of adamantite objects. The new Count seems much more agreeable, possibly after hearing of the previous one's fate. His consort hasn't been filled in yet apparently and keeps asking for rose gold.
So far I've found my magma pipe and sources of iron, silver, copper, tin, zinc, nickel, lead, bismuth, platinum, and aluminum. I'm still looking for gold and marble. I'm working on a floodable entrance trap which I plan to use magma for once I have enough bauxite mechanisms but I suppose I could hook it up to use water. I also need to expand my military. Right now I have about 10 marksdwarves, 2 who are nursing serious injuries. I built towers for them to shoot from but it didn't stop them from going out on the unprotected roof of my courtyard. I had 6 dwarves with mêlée weapons, though one of my axedwarves died trying to take on the goblins solo due to accidental patrol point issues. They have iron equipment since I don't have marble for steel production yet.
I have two dragons in cages. I suppose I could try taming them. I plan to have a pit where they can fight the goblins I have in cages.
