None for now. But I'm thinking of possibilities.
+
[http://mkv25.net/dfma/browseby.php?fortressName=Squashshoot Squashshoot] Just started and ready to rock. Want a plain fortress this time.
  
=Old forts=
+
==1061==
MinePoint see [http://mkv25.net/dfma/browseby.php?fortressName=Minepoint here]. Was abandoned (save deleted) due to a very high impact on my work productiveness :). Next forts will evolve much more slowly...
+
SquashShoot is one year old, and I'm proud of it.
 +
Bad things:
 +
*smoothed the roads in wrong directions, so no dwarven wagons.
 +
*No sand
 +
*It seems that no flux
 +
*Not sure about iron (there were some sedimentary layers, but not for sure)
 +
Good things:
 +
*Obsidian (decent early traps and trading goods)
 +
*... that's all ...
 +
 
 +
Not really impressive, but I feel, that I gonna like this fort
 +
 
 +
==1062==
 +
===First artifact===
 +
That's cool: Felsite encrusted '''Obsidian earring with an image of Obsidian earring in Obsidian''', and an image of diamonds in Felsite.
 +
 
 +
===I found the Magma!===
 +
It's only a pool, though. They are not refilling, I guess?  
 +
My scetches of Uber-Temple-Of-Fire are quickly redrawn to the Uber-Temple-Of-Water (Since I have plenty of water)
 +
 
 +
==1063==
 +
===Ambush!===
 +
And of course it's marksgoblins. Two dwarves are already lost, and they are moving!
 +
 
 +
So, our losses are:
 +
*two dwarves, both not important ones
 +
*one stray cat
 +
*one pet dog.
 +
Their:
 +
*one dead
 +
*two wounded, but run away
 +
*Squad leader captured!
 +
 
 +
He will be the first to sacrifice in the Uber-Temple-Of-Water once (if) it's finished.
 +
 
 +
===The defense plan===
 +
I've learned from this ambush.
 +
Now I rewalling outer areas, so, that all acces would be shrough three chokepoints filled with traps.
 +
 
 +
As a last resort I'm training three marksdwarves, to stand above Trade Depot.
 +
 
 +
As a very last resort, I'm planning to train some hammerdwarves (forging equipment for now).
 +
 
 +
That will be the explanation for fort's name '''SquashShoot''': Squash is for hammers and shoot is for crossbows!
 +
 
 +
===Poor baby===
 +
Goblin snatcher was noticed, just as he tried to snatch a baby from one of my mechanics. He decided to kill the baby... :(
 +
 
 +
His mother's profile says: ...has been extatic lately. Has lost a child to tragedy recently.
 +
 
 +
Strangely enough, after a couple of weeks, she took the '''seek infant''' job, proceeded to the trail of blood left by baby (launched far away by a goblin's blow), then returned to work. The baby himself was in the grave by the moment. Bug?
 +
 
 +
===Yet Another Ambush===
 +
This time there were two squads:
 +
*lashers, led by macegoblin, perished under the fire of my brand-new marksdwarves, as they were chasing by poor mason. They didn't catch him.
 +
*swordsgoblins led by hammergoblin. Perished on the mine... err... trapfield.
 +
 
 +
Yay, free iron!
 +
 
 +
==1064==
 +
===I hate it!===
 +
Why out of 6 moods I had, 4 were posessions?!? And two other are carpenter and stonecrafter??? I hate it!
 +
 
 +
===Terrible mistakes===
 +
Some terrible mistakes were made, while carving Uber-Temple-Of-Water. It will never be perfect T_T
 +
 
 +
===Defences===
 +
It's cool, how goblin ambushes got killed by traps, without even being noticed. More free iron ^.^
 +
 
 +
==1065==
 +
===GRRRRR!!!!!===
 +
Another posession! Gem setter this time.
 +
 
 +
===Iron!===
 +
Exploratory shaft, mined to the northern rock salt layer, struck hematite and... magnetite cluster!!! YAY to the miners!
 +
 
 +

I've been sick for a week, only me and dwarves... Much has happened: SquashShoot is a County, Economy started (FPS droped from 26 to 15), First siege, which has took lives of two babies and a husband of our best champion hammerdwarf (She does not really cares about anything anymore...).
  
[http://mkv25.net/dfma/browseby.php?fortressName=CatBane CatBane] Fell to marksgoblins and stupidity.  
+
The Temple is still not completed (I got distracted by many little things), but the work is going.
  
[http://mkv25.net/dfma/browseby.php?fortressName=Squashshoot Squashshoot]. Suspended due to hude lag (4-5 FPS on average). Anyone with decent machine is welcome to continue, since I like it so much, it hurts to think, it'll never evolve further.
+
Many moods. I've been lucky to gain legendary Armorsmith and Weaponsmith from two of them :). And one of my Champion Swordmasters holds  an artifact Pig Iron Sword!
  
[http://mkv25.net/dfma/usermaps.php?fortressName=Pagebend Pagebend]Dwarven clear glass honeycomb. With lots of (not really)MegaProjects. I got tired of it after some time.
+
===It's complete!===
 +
The Uber-Temple-Of-Water is complete with four waterfalls. It's working! I'm extatic :)
  
[http://mkv25.net/dfma/usermaps.php?fortressName=The%20Steel-Castle%20of%20Fires The Steel-Castle Of Fires] Just as name says. Castle made entirely of Steel. With a lava moat. Abandoned due to excess epicness.
+
=Old forts=
 +
MinePoint see [http://mkv25.net/dfma/browseby.php?fortressName=Minepoint here]. Was abandoned (save deleted) due to a very high impact on my work productiveness :). Next forts will evolve much more slowly...
  
[http://mkv25.net/dfma/usermaps.php?fortressName=The%20Spiral%20of%20Stone The Spiral of Stone] Wanted to make giant spiraling tower. Ended up making a giant spiraling well. Was destroyed by a tantrum spiral after megabeast attack

He managed to knock a quest giant unconscious with a masterful throw of a troglodite hand. Then he chopped his lims off, and twisted his trusted sword in giant's chest, until it died. (Am I not nasty?)
