Raid villages? No. Not worth the time spent tied down in one place, not worth pissing off the locals, not worth the loss of potential food or trade good supply for when peace breaks out.

Caravans? Yes. Every one I can catch. Totally worth it for the loot and to disrupt the enemy's trade routes.

Tournaments: Bet heavily on yourself, and win. Easy 4k denars a pop. Great in peacetime.
Beating people and taking their stuff: Attack enemy lords. Take their stuff. Caravans are fairly lucrative, but those spears mean you can die quick.
Less talking, more rrrraiding: Sea raiders have shiploads of good loot. Equip companions/yourself with the best, sell the rest.
Local knowledge: Buy trade goods where they're cheap. Take them to where they're expensive and sell them.
Slavery for fun and profit: Bludgeon people with a hammer. Take them prisoner. Sell them to their families. Stun enemy lords with sharp things, stash them in your dungeon, and sell them back to their faction for thousands a pop.

If you're at war, making money is easy. If peace breaks out, you may end up chasing the tournament circuit laden with trade goods, waiting for a war.

I lost a book after losing a fight. How do I get it back?

Muffins are delicious. I can even bake them.

Double chocolate, and none of that storebought crap. No preservatives, no artificial crap.
Don't NEED preservatives. They get eaten within a few days anyway.

The lorry driver may not have been aware of the car. A car sliding sideways in the wet wouldn't take much extra force to keep moving after the initial krunch.
Also, there are SERIOUSLY huge blind spots looking out of those things. I've never been in one, but I have spent a lot of time cycling in heavy traffic, and it's very easy to nestle up so you can't see the driver or the mirrors.
On top of that, wet roads are slippy. Yes, this is obvious, but it's incredibly annoying.

Stay out of the vaegir lands. That's where I;ve found it most often.

ripped out the control room

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Because I'd removed most of the bridges, I didn't know what any of the levers did, and it was interrupting traffic flow to the dining hall/meeting area.
And because I put levers near the things they operate.

Oh, and I expanded the elf drowner, sort of. I added a secondary channel to drain the brook into the chasm, and built a meeting hall under it. Rhyolite floors set with electrum grates, cobaltite fortifications on the end as a guardrail, and supported by microcline cantilevers.
It's epic.

Someone else can do it, if they feel like it. This fiasco has put me off trying to coordinate people for a while.

But I've been playing the fort on my own, since I got bored of the lag in my last one, so if anyone wants any of the autosaves, they're welcome to them.
I've discovered more GCS, ripped out the control room, rebuilt the obsidian farm, and built an anti-archery entranceway.

I finished, I posted the link, I was waiting for someone to take it up.

I'm guessing this is pretty much dead, then?

Fox news?

Reputable source plz.

Zip. Because it's simpler to operate in a hurry, isn't stiff when new, and doesen't have GAPING ****ING HOLES OVER MY CROTCH.
The last bit is important. A strong gust of wind at the wrong angle, and suddenly your nuts are freezing off.

If you forget to do your zip up when leaving the bathroom, you don't deserve to wear jeans.

Maybe you can clear up the horrible mess of levers and bridges that you stuck us with.

That bad eh?

I haven't dared touch any of the levers, it's that bad.

For science! (obviously)

(ok, ok will try to remember which lever does what)

It was YOU! You bastard.

Well, I took the liberty of continuing with this on a different file, because I was sick of my current forts. A bunch of masonry, and a bowgoblin siege. Half the military is either dead or wounded, with the only champion not unconcious or dead wandering around with a broken head, bruised spine, and no eyes.

The third lever drains it. Look through the start of the thread; I put in a key to the drowner operations.

GTA4: Driving a bus like crazy, towards the sea. Hit a compact SUV, then the road dropped away downhill. The bus mounted the back of the SUV, and proceeded to crunch over it. It then exploded, taking out the cop car next to it.
I giggled, then bailed out sloooowly as the bus burned. Then legged it, as the boom hit the cops again, and they took to chasing me.

Driving along the freeway in a truck. Hit a biker. Biker went up and out, then smacked loudly into a telegraph pole, with a spurt of red.

Driving along in a sorta generic-ish car. T-boned an identical car. It caught fire instantly. I stopped to watch it explode, then realised I was driving the same car.
I bailed and swapped.

Deus Ex:
Crawling around under a helipad. A guard spotted me through a grate. 'HEY! IT'S DENTON!'
He threw a LAM. I crawled away, waiting for the blam.
Clank, clank-clank. KABOOM! Splatch.
I survived. The guard didn't. I knew this because his damn heart was suddenly in front of me.

Go for it. I probably won't have to worry about it for a while.

I'll probably be done by the end of the week, so I'll upload again.

EDIT:
AUTUMN

MONTH OF LIMESTONE

Mining down the bottomless pit, because I spied something called 'tetrahedrite' and gold and cobaltite down there. And some gems.
Tetrahedrite, according to the dungeon master, is an ore of copper and silver. Nifty.

The gremlin is frightening the miners, so I'm sending the new marksdwarves in to shoot it. Hopefully we have enough bolts.

SPIDER! ****! There's one in the pit, and it's entangled a miner!

I'm just gonna floor that stair over and go around. Temptesttrust can wait, since the caravan from home arrived.

Aw, crap, now another miner's gotten chomped.

**** it, two miners down and it's blocking ore. That spider is going DOWN. SEND IN THE MARKSDWARVES!
Operation Make This ****ing Place Safe is a go.

Got the ***** (it's a girl) confined. Now to send in marksdwarves to the other side and above.
Just gotta prepare the area first. Just gonna take a while because I only have two damn miners left now. I swear, their guild is gonna be pissed.

The mayor looks pretty pissed. Probably from sleeping on the floor.

Are gremlins edible?

Gave the dwarven caravan plenty of profit, too.

OH **** AMBUSH!
KOBOLD!

Lazy-assed military were drinking when it happened, too. Lost someone, but the caravan guards wiped it out.

ANOTHER AMBUSH!
AND ANOTHER!

Both were wiped out by the military. Lotta goblin-iron and skulls.

MONTH OF SANDSTONE

The pit's full of miasma, but the platform is complete.

GOT THE *****! MWAHAHAHA!

Miners keep getting webbed. Idiots.

And so do the haulers. FOR ****'S SAKE!

Goblin snatcher attacking the liason! Marksdwarf'd.

Mining out stuff around the chasm and the bottomless pit. Rich resources, there.

That courtyard is a complete mess. Mud and blood everywhere, vomit outside it...

WE'RE OUT OF COFFINS AGAIN! For Armok's sake, do I need to make them on repeat?

Where the hell is that miasma coming from?

Well, we have more booze than we know what to do with right now.


MONTH OF TIMBER

Turning the gold and the tetrahedrite into electrum. Not like we need much more copper.

Ordered some trees cut, and assigned a woodcutter.

Having the GCS' silk collected and turned into cloth, sort of as an apology to my eventual replacement for killing the thing.

Olms everywhere. That river's around somewhere...

SNATCHER!
And the military is drinking.

Split the champions into two squads, in the hope that they stay on station more often.
Like THAT will work.


More casualties, more masonry, some digging, and some exploratory tunnels. And more groundwork to get the place running worth a damn, because of the extreme clutter.


WINTER!

MONTH OF MOONSTONE.


The hell IS moonstone, anyway?

The bears are breeding!

A peasant has gone fey.
And claimed the leatherworks.
Demanding plant fiber cloth.
Which I used up earlier.

Discovered why the depot wasn't emptying. No animal stockpile.


MONTH OF OPAL

Bulding another caravan gateway, this time over the Pit Of Death. Considering paving it over entirely.

Widening out the main concourse to improve efficiency.

Production of pig tail cloth for the moody peasant is coming along.

Well, that worked. He's started work. I'm also enlarging the cemetary, because this place is ****ing lethal.


MONTH OF OBSIDIAN

The artifact is done! It's a bag!

Swapped one of the military out, due to spinal injury.

Spring has arrived. I'm out of here. Tootles!


More masonry, but not much. Another artifact, some smoothing, and a couple of legendaries.

Downloaded, unzipped, renamed, and playing.

Spring:
Month of Granite:
With a spring in my step, I return to the fortress of Fencedchaste. The mountainhome heard of my exploits, and decided to send me in after the prior administration failed to turn up.
Oh god, why did I agree to this?

First order of duty was breaking up the party in the dining hall.

Second was ordering more copper mined, and third the melting down of all this unwearable metal. Good god, why so much of it?

ELVES!
First instinct is to ready the drowner, but I'll see what they have to offer, first.
And maybe clear up all the crap laying outside the depot.

And I've had to smack the trader upside the head to make him trade.

... There is a huge amount of magma sitting around in a pit. Why is there a huge amount of magma in a pit?

They were insulted that I tried to trade them a sock with rings of larch on it. I gave them the finger and siezed their goods anyway. We now have a grizzly bear! Yay!

There's a bridge hooked to a lever by the trade depot. Where is the lever?

KOBOLD! Killed by the military~


MONTH OF SLATE:

This poor human is sat there mostly dead. I think I'm gonna strip him.

NO! NO PARTIES!

We are SERIOUSLY low on stockpile space. Ordering the rock in the workshop area dumped into a single pile.

And ordering remains to not be hauled, because something's killing vermin, and the dwarves are hauling it back. Tidy, but dangerous.

Found the lever control room. Oh god, I don't know what does what. I'm afraid to touch anything. Who did this? And why? Oh armok, why have they done this?

The dining room needs more bling. We have lots of gold. I think that once I have this bin shortage sorted, I can make gold furniture.

The entrance is full of miasma. Gah.

We have too much plant fiber cloth. We need trade goods. We need more bins. Thus, I'm making plant fiber crafts.

MIGRANTS!
And a dungeon master!

Holy crap there's a lot of them. I'm adding some to the military. Two squads, marksdwarves and melee.

And someone's gone secretive.


MONTH OF FELSITE

Changing some of the pathways around. Inefficiency kills!

GOLD!

Found out that all the crap was being tossed in the chasm. Odd. I wanted to keep that flux.


SUMMER!

MONTH OF HEMATITE

We need moar iron.

We have a breeding pair of grizzlies! Awesome!

HUMANS!
Get the depot stocked!

Hoping to get everything crammed into the depot in time. We need bins!

Election! The clothier won. Yay?


MONTH OF MALACHITE

Still trying to trade. Just a few more bins, and GET TO THE GODDAMN DEPOT.

Gave the humans a great deal, about 10K in profit. We're practically rolling in unusable clothing and bone crafts, and have a legendary stonecrafter on hand. They should come back next year with more good stuff.

Armok help me, the magma pipe is right next to the bottomless pit. I am SO tempted to empty the pipe into the pit to see what happens.

By Armok's blood-soaked loincloth! The human guildmaster says that his caravan guards killed creatures in the magma pipe! No more forest fires!

We need more coffins already.


MONTH OF GALENA

Taking advantage of the lack of fires, and sacrificing a little internal room for more ore.

I'm a father! The engraver I'm married to gave birth to a bouncing baby boy! His beard is so cute!

Appointed myself captain of the guard, and I'll be assigning a fortress guard to train people in wrestling.

Ah, crap. I checked the justice list, and beat the cook half to death. Time to resign in favour of someone who isn't as strong.

Scratch that, entirely to death. Whoops.

And beat on an armourer.

My wife, the engraver, has been posessed.
