Bloodglazed actually seems to be a very nice unlaggy fortress, probably because it's got no chasm or magma monsters.
A few seconds into the game and suddenly, a couple of gem nodes have been discovered, including pyrite, honey yellow beryl and brown zircon.
Also, the Peasant Urvad managed to get a mud smear on his nose, right ear and left eye and mud splatters on his head, in his mouth and on his left ear.
And here's how it looks currently:
I blew up the trade depot so I can steal the merchant's stuff, yes it's not terribly fair but I was rather desperate to stop the dwarves eating the rats and large roaches that the cats didn't kill.
They didn't have a terribly great variety of stuff, it was mainly logs, one gold bar and a
loads of food, which sorted out the food problem
A Kobold thief was brutally killed after his lower body was torn off by an unarmed farmer, who luckily, escaped without injury. A goblin child snatcher had died here earlier.
Later, another thief was killed, bathing the walls in even more blood.
Suddenly, an engraver is taken by a few mood, and snatches two pieces of Gabbro to construct a mysterious artifact.
It turns out to be a Gabbro amulet, which is another piece of jewellery to go with the native copper earing.
However, the legendary engraver I now have smooths the walls far quicker than anyone else.
Which is good of course.
