Another year has passed in for the fortress. Please enjoy this short progress report.
Year 2:
Good god working with this layout has been confusing, but I did learn some tricks that Ill be putting in to other fortresses. The first order of buisness was to finish up the few bedrooms that had been started, which was quickly accomplished. After this I noticed that the stockpiles could use a bit of compression, so the dwarves dutifully hammered together a few boxes to chuck their shit into. It was after this that I turned my eye to the military, as I had heard terrifying rumors of giant keas that could steal dorfs themselves. The current affairs suggested that the dorf army was to be mainly ranged based. This of course, was found to be unacceptable. As any dorf can tell you, a battle axe through the skull is the most honorable and dorfiest way to kill a foe. At this point the forges were put to work outfitting a small squad of 10 of the most useless bravest dorfs in the fortress. I myself took the position of militia commander.
At this point I decided to start improving the fortress. And what better way than by tying up all of my useful dorfs and spending a whole season building an elaborate and large temple to something or the other. A massive area was cleared, smoothed, and decorated with uniformly colored statues arranged in a tasteful manner. I chucked an instrument in and made Babayaga's dorf an exotic temple dancer, as I believe he wanted. At this point a shield-obsessed mayor was elected and I was forced to spend a bit of time making the required buildings for a dorf of his stature.
Temple complete, I decided to actually do something useful for the fortress. You will now find a fully stocked and functional hospital to help take care of any small bouts of Fun that might be had in the future. At this point the outpost liason arrived for the usual agreements. I requested booze and exotic clothes. They requested anvils and hats.
Winter was uneventful, mostly just tidying up, making more armor and weapons and bars and food, etc....
Good luck to dreamcarver, the third Dorf Overseer!

EDIT: Whoops. I can't read and got the third person wrong. Sorry dreamcarver
