Day 4 of my captivity.
Does no-one stay gone here? One of the traders has announced that she is Sprin, and has begun practicing medicine. She's never had anything to do with it before. Oh well. It can't possibly be worse than before. She's not even male!"I've reforumited Sprin as one of the dubiously useful Traders we seem to have floating around.
Hope you don't mind the gender too much...
"I've ordered the manufacture of a large number of blocks to build up our fortifications, above and below. I have no idea what's going on in this place, but I will have it shaped up if I can.
I also have miners working on cleaning up the outside of the hollowed-out slopes."I think this screenshot aptly summarises my response to trying to understand the fort's layout:
I'm glad we have a manager, because I have no idea where the mason's worksops are.
"Weeks later, I've found the tombs. I'm glad we have them. Some of them even seem to be empty.
The work outside on cleaning up the slopes is much slowed by cave adaption. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Day nine of my captivity.
Ghostly... horse? What?
27th Sandstone,
Necrothreat.
Day thirteen of my captivity.
I've ordered piles upon piles of rotten food cleared out of the trade depot. The whole room was filled with miasma. I've also designated another food stockpile, since clearly the first wasn't big enough.
I discovered a long wall along one side of the site. I don't know what to make of that. I also discovered a shaft from the surface down to the living levels. I don't know what it was for, but now it's a statuary. The cave adaption situation is untenable. I'm having it walled at the top for security."This is efficiency! Or it would be, if pretty much everyone weren't a) cave adapted b) thirsty (dunno why) c) stressed or d) lugging a huge chunk of rock.
Back to work, slacker!
"Not even a day, and the statuary is already a lovely shade of vomit. The colour of progress!
4th Timber,
Necrothreat.
Day twenty of my captivity.
I've ordered statues scattered around the hallways. They'll get in the way, but we need the morale boost. The statuary is successfully attracting forumites. Hopefully that cuts back on the vomiting. I'm also putting together some more bedrooms. I'm pretty sure we don't have enough.
So far nothing's gone seriously wrong. Holding thumbs for that to continue."It's slow going. I've been playing for a couple of hours now, and that's as far as I've got, partly because I've been spending a lot of time paused, partly because the FPS isn't
great.
Sorry about the wait for the update. I may or may not have bought the new Age of Kings expansion and logged over fifty hours in the last week or so.
Any requests for the next update?
