Hiya,
First post here. My cat, Anom, made me send money to the Toad and said I could post here and be bad at it. (I never post anywhere, really, so I should be bad at it.)
That was my intro. I tried to search for intro posts, for a few seconds, and found none. Blah.
So, then. On to dorfy things.
I have a nice fortress running. I turned off seiges using the LNP, (I'm only two moons in playing,) and have a nice breach into the 1st set of caverns. My 6 squads do well enough. (Sometimes, there is an idiot child that plays where idiot childs should not play, but I babble and a child does what it does.)
I have lost, errrrm, had fun 7? times before. Had a tantrum spiral. Had a lone dorf that failed miserably, (No Urist McUrist, I, I was unskilled, and there was no way to even try to get that working, though the famous story inspired me to fail well,) and have been lucky enough to only flood one room, (And I knew it would happen, and even tried to dig a hole to stop it, but a thirsty dwarf that wants water and has 3 other wells and 498 drinks will still go to the one well that'll flood a dining room, of course.) In proper fashion, I enjoyed that. No one even died, though Urist McThirsty lost a hand.
Anywhat. I had been telling my liason that we prefer to be alone, as it were. This year I decided, [after saving the game and thinking I will regret this,] to allow us to be part of the Mountainhome. And to be clear, I have donated stuff, made fine Gneiss Block Roads to 3 edges, (It'd look awkward to have a road to the west,) so as to be all blue on the n-c (nobles, capital) screen.
So, I get a Queen. Now, I just this moment received her, and see the need for 10 chests and 5 each of armour stand and weapon racks. No worries. A grand set of rooms have been carved, the walls smoothed, the walls are almost finished being masterfully engraved. She will have her requirements. (I have six stone detailers, which is far too many, but I admitted I babble.)
The question is this, and I know the answer I think, should I keep her, (i.e. not reload,) and because I keep her, at what point should I plan her accident? The mayor has been good, except for asking for raw glass things, so it is possible I can manage having a Grande Dame unless she starts asking for cat teeth or somesuch.
That, and what exactly constitutes a "royal" anything?
Oh, and, welcome to the forums. (I think that is what you should say, but I already admitted I don't do this much.)
I don't really want answers as much as it seems. This is just an intro.
