LEAVE TEH DORFS ALONE!!!11

[Tsuchigumo550]

I say one entrance that could allow a wagon in without too much trouble. We need a system of full open/closing, like a floodgate or bridge.

I agree, but for right now we need to deal with skeletal moosemen or whatever, not worry about the permanent plan. I mean, the current walls are made of dirt or something, aren't they? That's hardly a permanent solution.

[pisskop]

a permafrost dirt wall.

ROUND 8 - A NEW HOPE




Gamur starts harvesting the fully grown plump helmets. The ground seems to be rather fertile, for he has never seen ones that big.



Gobo erects the 3 totems he made next to the impaled goblin. He thinks that it will scare off invaders.
He positions himself to watch for suspicious activities.



Lobram still churns out mechanisms. Also a cage seems to have been made.



Datan, Inod and Dariush fell and work on the trees together.
Donut finishes another big stretch of the defense and the spikes have already been installed.



Gamur shears both llamas and milks the female one.
He fears that they might freeze to death now.

I think I got everything.
Your stocks look really good.
Everyone has been busy to the maximum of their capacities

Also take a quick look to the left of the overview map.
Maybe you'd like to make some preparations.

I also took the liberty of closing off the entrance I left before
Still using the plan that 10ebbor10 had made, so the entrance would be to the right of the trade depot.
You can still change it and this would be a good place for a bridge, for example.

I also removed some of the units in the resource tab.
It's hard to keep track of those and I'll probably be more liberal with the use of some of the things.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Move the llamas inside.
Have someone gather fodder.
Give every able-bodied dwarf a weapon and Donut his pick and have them defend against the mosemen when they get here.

[Donuts]

Caravan incoming!

[10ebbor10]

Move the llamas inside.
Have someone gather fodder.
Give every able-bodied dwarf a weapon and Donut his pick and have them defend against the mosemen when they get here.

Signal the traders to watch out for them, too.

As for the llama's, bringing them inside can help for the moment. Don't think there's much fodder around though. (Do llamas eat leaves?)

Anyway , I propose to construct a drawbridge in the Southern entrance, and another one in the NE entrance.

Gobo: Moosemen defens ??e
Inod: Help datan
Datan: Create a wooden shed against the mountainflank for the animals. The stone should give of warmth, keeping it warm inside. We can later modify it as a watchtower.
Dariush:  Moosemen defense??
Gamur : See to Donut's wound, get the llama's inside*, plant more plumphelmet spawn
Lobram: Install the bridge, using a counterweight. (Ie, easy to get up, harder to get it down) The bridge should always be raised, to prevent it freezing shut when open.
Donut: Finish the moat, see to the wound


* We need to chain these up or they might try eating or food, I think.

[pisskop]

should anyone make trade goods?  totems are tradable, yes?

[10ebbor10]

Um, right , trade goods. I don't like giving away our totems, but we could probably make some wood figurins, I suppose.

[PlutoniumApe]

should anyone make trade goods?  totems are tradable, yes?

I will refer to a simplified trading system

2 points for raw resources (wood/stone/etc)
5 Points for every tool/weapon/craft/furniture (copper/wood/bone), 10 for iron
5 Points for 1 barrel food
5 Points for 1 barrel of booze
5 Points for small animals (dog, cat, chicken etc), 10 for large (horse, cow, llama etc)

There will be some variation and this doesn't take item quality and more valuable items into account
You don't really have any of these yet, but there's always room for negotiation
Also you can only trade stone if you processed them into blocks first
So this will probably be my way of limiting your stone supply, since all buildings will now need either processed wood or stone blocks

I also skipped the expedition leader thing a bit, Donut still thinks that he should be in charge.
You can choose a dwarf that should do the trading, but you can still do this next round once the caravan has arrived.

You can also feed the llamas your plant material, which will use up 1 plant llama/round
Dogs and cats pretty much feed themselves

Also please don't forget to tell which material to use for building

And thank you, 10ebbor10, for collecting the suggestions. This is a great deal of help to me!

[Dariush]

Dariush grabs himself a couple of stones and constructs a carpenter's workshop on the surface, near the entrance. Then he makes a crossbow and a couple of bolts.

Inod should instead help Lobram, since the bridge is of a higher priority right now than a shed.

Why would a counterweight bridge be hard to lower? Add weight - bridge raises, remove weight - bridge lowers, no? In any case I propose to create a backup dorf/animal-power solution.

I meant that the counterweight should weight more than the bridge, so that it can close fast, at the expense of being a bit harder to open.

[pisskop]

Def need crafty goods...

[Tsuchigumo550]

We need to look out for those skeletal moose men. They're RIGHT OUTSIDE THE GATE.

Signal the caravan and have Dariush fire at them from on high while anyone else not doing a crafting job armed with anything made of any metal comes to fight them off.

They were right outside of the gate last turn. Donut digs faster than they can move.
