I'll be playing when I get home, any one have any requests? Beyond dwarfing Reudh, working on new sets of armor, working on new industry and overhauling the health care system there isn't much I need to fix or do, so I'm open to suggestions.
Yeah, good luck on that.
Hey, it's attitudes like that which cause this to happen
Eh, I'm planning some sort of major construction project on my turn, so please try to get the fort to a place where it can sustain that.
Already on it, if you've been reading. ALL HAIL MITCH'S SOCIAL REFORMS.
Now that I think about it, every time some one said 'make the fort fit for my construction' (Deathgate, Icemachines), they arse it up and wipe out a lot of the fort. Do please be careful EDIT: Also, I thought you were going to unspoilerize the epicness in HFS?
The more I think about it, the bigger feeling I get that one year isn't enough to prepare, what with fixing the entire place and all.
Year 205, the rule of Mitch
Chapter 5: All Hail Mitch's Social Reforms!
Okay, following Wynz's tragic yet totally avoidable death, and the imminent deaths of a few of our other soldiers, I am issuing a state of emergency. My rule, in a mere two months, has had a significant impact on the fortress. Many are finding jobs beyond simple hauling with my clutter-purge (no longer will we be wasting valuable time hauling crummy copper weapons perpetually), and those jobs are being better preformed with my job-overhaul. The military is a bit better fleshed out, and future enhancements will be adequately equipped (would be better if Sus didn't kill our awesome armour-smith).
Dissenters, heretics, nay-sayers and traditionalists dismiss and protest my 'radical' reforms, citing them as 'ruinous', 'time-wasting', 'over-ambitious' and 'grounded in fantasy'. Detractors must be silenced, lest they become a problem to the Great Plan. And what is the best way to win over naive traditionalists AND the masses? Why, saving our fighting men and women, of course. I will do what they say is impossible; I will overhaul the medical system. A foul, almost non-existent practice that people are calling 'beyond saving'. If this works, they will trust in my Great Plan, yes...
12th Felsite: Okay, after some searching I have found the 'hospital' (it feels like lying calling it that). It is so un-managed it almost seems like the previous overseers were just trying to jury-rig the perfect killing field. I've made a list of quips to fix:
- We have no dedicated doctors. Those with the skill are often far too busy eating an acre of cocks or something to save the needy. Should four dedicated doctors be enough?
- We seem to lack any altruistic dwarves, the kind that go out of their way to help people. Pure bad luck, or a habit that Spearbreakers breeds?
- Our hospital is a fucking mess. There are cabinets (for what reason?), there's crap everywhere (
Wynz hasn't even been carried off), the beds are separated from the surgical tables which are separated from the traction benches. Dying dwarves have to be carried dozens of paces to and from their beds, tables and benches, it is ridiculous.
- There's no water nearby, for whatever reason. Maybe the doctors like walking down 40 floors and drag heavy buckets of silty, contaminated water back to the patients (or not, as is the case).
- There isn't enough of a lot. There is literally zero thread (some previous overseer spun it all into spools of useless, cunt-shitting cloth), there is 5 tables and 7 benches to our 14 beds (it is supposed to be 1:1:1, all of which are one pace away from each other), and there is hardly any crutches or splints.
We simply do not have the man-power to haul all the clothes and trinkets of the deceased out, but an order to re-arrange the hospital will be completed in relatively short order. I had already began working on spare traction benches when I set up all of the work orders, but it had to be cancelled because
no one made spare rope. So I'll have to make do with what I have. Commence re-furnishing!
14th Felsite:Elves have arrived, and with them
tons of thread and medical supplies. I'm happy to see elves! I can't believe it!
To counter-balance that spike of ecstatic, here's a drawing of Wari looting Wynz's corpse instead of feeding the patients
Oh, and I've found some particular laziness on the part of whoever made the iron spike traps, that were ever-so-lovingly originally thought up by me.
Half-assed our defence, but oh well.
I guess Simon Tam has to go trade with those pricks, but he's complaining about how he 'can't find those cunting mugs in the trade screen'. I told him to stop bitching.
15th Felsite:Sweet Armok we're running out of mugs.
I know it doesn't
look like it, but that is incredibly low by Spearbreaker standards.
16th Felsite:A Spawn Master Thief!
In our base. Luckily, it happened to find Fischer, our friendly neighbourhood legendary pikedwarf. Luckily, it turns tail and flees... whereupon Fischer runs him down and slashes its
spine until all the pieces re-arrange like a damn jigsaw puzzle. Also, there was a war black bear involved; don't ask.
Okay, that was fun. There's probably an ambush waiting for me next turn. Also, according to Therapist my dwarf is 200 years old. Hahaha.
