[bsnott]

Soooo, this still going?

Yeah, sorry about the wait. That new guy is getting a turn.

[Lightningfalcon]

Downloaded the file.  Will start playing tommorow, and should hopefully have a report at some-point by tomorrow night.

That's what they all say.

Realized about an hour ago that I completely forgot to do this.  Really sorry.  WILL start playing tomorrow, whenever I wake up.

[Lightningfalcon]

Done with spring, will put up update sometime between 12 and 1, as my internet is much to slow to upload pictures right now.

[W0lfBane]

I would be more than glad to join except if you have anything against nubs, as this would be my 3rd game of DF so far

From the autobiography of Lightningfalcon Alathidith, King and Emprah of The Bodices of Paint.
Chapter 31, Arrival at fort and first spring-
After we left the old Mountainhome, we arrived at Strokershoots.  An impressive place, and the perfect location for the new Mountainhome.  However, many improvements had to be made.  I immidiatly started to give out orders.  First on the list was a location suitable for someone of my position .  Second was to build a suitable harbor.  Long have we dwarves relied on the ground to protect us, but now if we are to survive we must take the fight to the enemy! Immediately the masons set to work constructing the necessary docks for construction of our new navy, a force used to great affect in the past.
For the next two months I have directed the new constructions, assisting many of my loyal subjects, showing how to overcome many hurdles that they encountered.  Eventually the spring came to an end, with many improvements made. 
-
Chapter 32, Summer-
The summer ended with many of my improvements having taken affect.  The first is the completion of the docks, which will allow us to start construction on two ships while the rest of the harbor awaits completion
Fig 32.1-

The second is that my quarters have finally been completed, through none of my furnishings except for my bed and a few basic tables have been completed yet. 
Fig 32.2- (Addition to the right)


The two towers meant for defense of the harbor are both underway, with one nearing completion.  One ballista has already been constructed, and the parts for the others are almost finished.  (Lost pic for these)

[Lightningfalcon]

I finished my turn, nothing happened.  No deaths, no strange moods, and I ran out of ideas for things to construct.  Will post an update about what did happen along with the save at in about two-three hours.  But I think we can safely cross harbor off of the list (Unless I was supposed to build warehouses or something with it.)

Save is here

[W0lfBane]

I picked up the save and will get on it as soon as possible, probably not tonight because i have a shadowrun game to take part in but surely tomorow, i'll also see if i can post an update about the current condition of the fort

SPRING

Apparently the dwarfs here over at Stokershoots are in need of my expert opinions as a human everything expert that I am.
So I gladly headed over with all my expert knowledge on the subject.
As soon as I reached the gates i was astonished, this looked nothing like a human settlement that i was expecting. Half the city is under the other half of the city, there were no fountains to be seen and there wasn't even a brothel.
I was tempted to burn it all down and start anew but like proper dwarves everything was made of metal and not wood. Touche
ooc: please noone take offence i actually like the look, it looks like dwarves try to make a human settlement but don't know how.

this is how everything looked when i got here

At least there was a nice slums area

and the upper area looked pretty cool

And they even had a HARBOR already done, but obviously the dwarves that made this knew very little about seafaring because there was absolutely no lighthouse. How do you expect other ships to find your harbour. One of the first things i'll have to do is get a lighthouse started.

Next I took stock of the population and the stocks.

everything looked good except for the exporting and importing problem. We've been importing a lot and i don't see why this place looks pretty self sufficient, it doesn't seem to need much imports. And the population was 235 strong, this place is pretty condensed for such a huge populations. what gives!?

Ohhhhhhh that's a lot of kids. it looks like the sun has been having some very good affects on the populations, but this is concerning 42% of the population is kids. I will need to think of something to do with these kids. I must go and think.

So some time has passed and I have begun work on the lighthouse and decided that a half finished Town Hall is no hall at all their construction is topmost priority. But since i'm working on both projects consequatively i need a lot of construction workers which the population does not seem to have. Then I had my brilliant IDEA. I went around town and told everyone that children consist of the main construction force in all human lands and that that is how they build things so quickly.

It seems to have worked.

They seem to be constructing the base of the lighthouse at inhuman speeds. I told them to build a jeweler's shop and they did it in less than an hour. these children are great. I will have to think further on this issue.

So today the Emprah "Lightningfalcon" came to complain to me. i just think he is being too picky

When I refused him and explained that this is how human ruler's live and that if he wishes to mimic them he should hush. Sufficed to say he was not happy and threatened to hold pupies and kitties hostage.

He even threatened some of our war dogs. Sufficed to say I was not pleased and stopped him. The rest of the populace was so happy they made me their hammerer.

I have figured out what to do with the children and have begun the construction of a fourth project. The town Hall is moving Quickly and the Lighthouse Slowly but these children workers are so quick that i am sure i will be able to finish most if not all the project by the end of the year. Also there was a kobold thief today.


Apparently he appeared right in the middle of our barracks while everyone was sparring. I laughed until i heard that he got away. Our military can't run fast. I will need to implement a cardio program for all of them.

Today some migrants arrived.

This helps a lot since now the children population is only 39% of the population which alows for our elections to run more smoothly and reduces the runners with children special interests. Hopefully my program will help deal with them and allow the rest of us to live in peace away from their calamities.

the population is now 258. I have ordered an increase in the living arrangements

The elven caravan arrived today.

God even where they live sounds snooty. I have bought some stuff from them.

Some people have come up to me to ask me what they should do with all the kobold blood that litters the city. I jokingly told them that humans have a tradition where they take blood such as this and decorate their buildings and monuments. Later on i noticed this.

I didn't really think they would believe me or go to such lengths. It seems these dwarves are very dead set on being as human-like as possible. I wonder what else they would believe.

They have even gone as far as to decorate our new memorial fountain with this blood. It does give it an interesting grisly quality.

Something has possessed on of our carpenters. He ran into a workshop and locked himself in.


He later came out with this thing.

I'm sure people will gladly store their stuff in this thing. It does seem like we needed more bins.

It is summer now and the town hall is close to completion  all that is left is a small bell tower to b e placed on the top.

ooc: Sorry it's taking me a while but i'm micromanaging all the project simultaneously so i have to pause a lot. I'll probably have summer done by tomorow. Also i forgot to write down any dates so .... 

Sorry i misspoke, if you consider the fountain a project all on it's own then i guess i have four projects running but it's only 3

[Kolnukbyne]

Damn, I like the idea of a lighthouse and child slave labour educating the younger generation in the elegant art of hauling. You seem to have completed quite a lot in one season, (probably more than I completed in my entire turn, actually) I'm impressed.

[W0lfBane]

yeah still not done, this is also because I have not worried about food production or any other type of production, i did make some silver toys to appease a noble and sold them, i also started mining out all the gems people left behind but have not really been doing anything other than construction. Also is there any explanation why there have been no sieges yet?

[Kolnukbyne]

Also is there any explanation why there have been no sieges yet?

That's a good point. We've had a titan and kobolds and junk but no sieges. Interesting.
