The main event of this year should be the arrival of the monarch.  I have 140 dwarves, I have plenty of fortress wealth, and I have given a suitably sized offering to the caravan.


4th Granite - Rovod Uzoltad has given birth to a girl.

The list of the high-fertility couples is:

  • 'Doc' Muthkat Ekirsazir and 'Bones' Tobul Ularducim
  • 'Smith' Mafol Tiristesmul and 'Miner' Vabok Rithalak
  • 'Cpt' Led Astisuzol and 'Cpt' Sodel Ushrirstigaz
  • 'Mother' Rovod Uzoltad and 'Teacher' Minkot Kelziril
  • 'Cpt' Erith Locuncog and 'Cpt' Dastot Asenasdug
I'm going to form four new crossbow equipped militia squads around these families.  Legendary crafters will be moved into those four squads who will stay on reserve duty most of the year except for two months in the late winter.

This also means realignment of who belongs to which squad.

(4) Golden squads - These are the legendaries and mothers of the fortress and train only once per year in the winter, for two months.  They are equipped with leather armor, trousers, cloaks and hoods but with metal helms / gauntlets / high boots.  They get iron crossbows and are allowed to use metal bolts for training.

(5) Silvery squads - These are the females of the fort (but not mothers).  Same armor as the goldens but get assigned to slightly more hazardous duties like refuse / wood hauling.

(3) Pillars squads - The males of the fort (but not fathers or legendaries).  Leather tunic, metal mail shirt, metal breastplate, leather trousers with metal greaves, metal high boot, metal gauntlet, metal helm, two leather hoods and two leather cloaks.  The weapon is a steel melee wapon of their choice.

At the moment, there are now 105 dwarves under arms.  It will likely take until late spring for all of the gear / equipment to be shuffled around.  I'm running DFHack "cleanowned scattered" about every two weeks to clean up as dwarves drop their old gear in favor of their new uniforms.

8th Slate - 'Cpt' Led Astisuzol gives birth to a baby girl.

1st Felsite - We are now the mountain home!


Naturally, king Doce Cerumirding has demands:


I had already prepared his chambers using masterwork gold furniture.


We still seem to be missing chests, weapon racks and armor stands.


Doce Cerumirding (Bottledduty):


Looking at the king's migration wave shows us:



Note: Asob Atirnebel and Iden Rakustuzlir are babies born this spring to fortress members, they did not come as part of the king's migration wave.

9th Felsite - Datos Degstakud (Evenmachine), the Liaison for Thob Lelum (Girders of Waning) also needs a set of rooms.


4th Limestone - Caravan should be arriving soon.

15th Limestone - Caravan arrives.  No liaison since we are now the mountainhome and he already lives here.

3rd Sandstone - 'Sgt' Erith Locuncog gives birth to a baby girl.  'Doc' Muthkat Ekirsazir gives birth to a baby girl.

28th Moonstone - 'Smith' Mafol Tiristesmul gives birth to a baby boy.

2nd Opal - 'Mother' Rovod Uzoltad gives birth to a baby girl.

28th Opal - 'Cpt' Led Astisuzol gives birth to a boy.

At the end of this year, I am going to retire the fort (now that it is a mountainhome) and go check Legends mode to see what I want to accomplish next.
