Re: Logs of the fortress manager
Late update, because I didn't play a while and nothing at all happened when I did play.
The point of the project was to first drain the ocean, and then to make a fort in it. After the ocean is drained I'll make a wall around the building site, so that new water will not stop the dwarves and there won't be dwarf corpses floating around.

It was a very uneventful winter, but luckily, that's about to change, because we all know what happens when the elves come to trade, and goblins invade at the same time. We've closed the gate and gathered the elves right in front of us, they will sit there, and be slaughtered by the goblins while serving as bait for the marksdwarves on the nearby wall. Not that we need anything the elves have, so in that regard they might as well run so we don't have to deal with their junk. We have most out haulers busy with the gold vein we found anyway.
2 elves died today, along with around 15 goblins. To celebrate, our founding miner has married the founding farmer, a big congratulations to the two lovers that helped make history, Lancelock salutes them both.

A dragon appeared on the horizon, meaning we're off to a great start of the year. In about 2 days she will be here, and we will have roasted goblins for everyone, and hopefully a second dragon in a cage.
