Trade Agreements

After abandoning several fortress sites due to location, inclement weather, overabundance of hippos or simple bad fortress planning, the dwarfs have founded the fortress of Ùstingish. (Roughly translated as "Breachedbodice" in the human tongue, the name was chosen by Adil Kodalåth, the Sheriff. It's rumored that she has somewhat loose morals.)

I discovered a neat thing today. You can view a list of the other civilizations in the area, which I knew; there are long lists of their leaders, trade agreements, and so on. I happened to take a look at the kobold civilization, who had inhabited a network of caves on the same map as Ùstingish, and had been demolished a few years back when an intrepid miner connected their caves up to the river.

This was too awesome. I went over to look at the goblins. You know how well a fort's doing by the strength of the raids the goblins send at you, and I just had my first full ambush after a year or so of thieves and child-snatchers.
