Ahoy there, and welcome to Cursecoppers, my modest Let's Play of Meph's Masterwork Dwarf Fortress, version .4d. I was curious to see if one could survive by relying on the trading workshops, and so I started this endeavor. Instead of farming for sustenance, we will raise cash-crops which we will sell for food at Olon's Culinary Delights. Instead of smelting steel, we will either import it, or buy our weapons and armor directly at Urist's Steel Emporium. Specialized products will be purchased at Teduk's Fine Goods, and funds will be raised for these by selling raw materials. Will capitalism reign supreme, or will Cursecoppers live up to it's name?
