Lpzie posted:I saw some blood in my first month here. Two fisherdwarves, Temaukel and Mr. Moon, were out fishing. Flying some bees really scratched them up. Pitiful weak cowards! A strong planter, Dirt5o8, saw this and ended it with a quick kick. Amazing! Impressive! This one is worth watching.  Will I ever recover? (I must say I am quite impressed with my fearlessness considering I am a weakling).

Requesting a Dwarfing would prefer either in the military, or as a butcher or cook. Perhaps all of the above.

As a young dwarf (probably unless I somehow died along the way) studying the greatness of our terrible volcano murder-deity, I approve of our young new bloodthirsty overseer.

Black Robe posted:I know the feeling. Since the only sighting of dorf-me since I arrived in Valleysilences has been in the chapel, I'm assuming one of our various utterly terrifying gods is keeping me alive for some later purpose. Lava will probably be involved. remember there are already over 100 dwarves. That means a lot of dwarves doing the boring things that keep a fortress from being drowned in cats etc.

Hey cool! A new dwarf fortress succession thread! Dwarf me as a male axe dwarf is possible. The axe dwarf is the important bit though. I am looking forwards to seeing where people put all the unlabeled (Or worse, mislabeled on purpose) levers. I wonder how many "gently caress the World" levers this fortress will gain by the end?

As I put the finishing touches on the squad assignments, I bumped into a strange dwarf. DeathSandwich. He wanted to see things die. I made room for him in a combat-heavy squad. One of the weaklings from the undead bird attack, Temaukel, wanted to become stronger. She wanted her husband, Kennel, and their son Slaan (when he's old enough), to also get stronger. I assigned them to combat training 2 times per year.   Something I think we are missing is the "righteous representations of the dwarven spirit". Every great story and heroic deed involves this: the battleaxe. The squads here scratched their heads at the concept. Wow! That will change as soon as this draft is finished. Every able-bodied dwarf will at least see training. The "Reserves" contain the "vital" dwarves. Those dwarves that understand "logistics": medics, doctors, clerks, bards, scholars, poets, barkeepers, administrators, etc. The weak but important. These squads will "strengthen the civilians to maintain the general health and well-being of the iron-bred conglomerate." They will train a few months out of the year and only see combat when the situation is dire. I asked the miners to expand the barracks. We will be needing it. Along the way, I saw the Poet Nuramor. He was deep in prayer. I had a task for him: come up with good names for the squads and some official sounding titles. Get the other poets to help out.    Later, a mighty dwarf approached me about combat possibilities. Zebrin is his name. Very old and stubborn. He likes books but the wrong kinds, I think. I will help him find excitement; gave him his own squad.  The final draft of the conscription was penned on Felsite 18th, 567. The poets did a nice job, I think. It looks official. Nice drawings of axes and dead enemies along the edges. I will have to ask Tunicate later what some of those words mean. The document will be posted tonight. Oh, and that Poet Nuramor? I will sharpen his body to match his mind. He has been assigned to a combat-heavy squad. Because we do not have enough weapons and armor for every soldier on active duty, we must use "the makeshift-blitzkrieg, fodder-feeding, tactics of the ancient icy Northern warriors. One complete set of gear is assigned to two soldiers. The survivor is reinvigorated thrice-fold; once through completing their regiment gear, twice through vengeance, third via their gods." I hope the men of words, goods, and coins arrive soon. (Oh, and my Mom and Dad were assigned their own squad. I have sent them to the ends of the world to find me some more books to read. My aunt chitoryu12 and my uncle Cyflan better not try to make me eat green things or they will be next.)

Go Mom! Lead those Polite Askers! My mom's the best.  She leads a whole group of soldiers and she's super-strong and amazing. I bet she could kill an undead raven with only the glare she gives me when I'm playing with dirt in my mouth or when I tell her I wanna be an elf when I grow up. I love you mom. I don't wanna be an elf no more. I wanna be strong like you.

I'm in the axe squad. Using a weapon known for severing limbs. In an area where severed limbs come back and try to gank you. This is going to go wrong in the best way.

"The Blurry Eyes" sounds equal parts ludicrous and threatening. We're not sure what we're swinging at, but we sure are gonna swing. Also deliver flowers, apparently. God I hope I get to go on some raids. Launch me at a 1000-pop elven retreat, overseer, I'm ready!

So the overseer asked the miners to expand the barracks, but then he tells me, a miner, that I'm in the military so I guess I won't be expanding the barracks? I am getting some serious mixed messages here.

Pretty much everyone is spending half their time in military service and half in civilian occupations. So when you aren't training in the barracks, you'll be expanding the barracks.

Fragment from the diary of So Math, Baroness of Valleysilences. M_Gargantua insists he said "combat rolls", not "wombat rolls". I'll grab a meat pie for dinner later.

Axes seem like a dubious idea here. Dismembering things just means more hauling jobs that need to complete before the zombification kicks in. Hammers are the future.

You know, it never occurred to me before to train basically everyone in the military at least a bit. I always made a dedicated squad or two that would do nothing but train. I guess I always worried about nothing getting done because half the fort's farmers and haulers and cheese makers and whatever were too busy training to finish any work. As far as I've seen, this is also a new thing for a succession fort like this. I hope it goes well, but I know that it will at least be Fun.
