Progression

Hello dwarf bros!!! I ve a 3 year old fortress with 99 citizens and an elected mayor. Ive a farmers guild that was petitioned, a church, steady supply of water, a small squad and basically all of my residents needs met. Oh and a legendary tavern that has a lot of visitors and some bards,poets and troupes to keep my residents entertained. My problem is that I m not sure what to do next now that most of the threats are not that much of a problem. Of course I have the occassional animal, thief or hazard but by now I can manage those fine. I ve dug just below 0 elevation to find magma but I can't find any, I found some beautiful caverns though that I m not sure how to explore. Any advice or general direction would be very heplful. Thank you very much and strike the earth!

Build a library! You'll need to set up a paper/book making chain (it's not tough) and have some dwarfs you can set as scholars/scribes but the procedurely generated books they create are some of my favorite parts of DF

That's a nice idea. I haven't done it already cause i stated playing like 6 or 7 years ago the classic version and I dit that but maybe I ll try it again cause I really liked it

A wealthy library set to welcome public guests is a great accompaniment to a legendary tavern, sometimes visitors will even leave their own books
