[Mad Jackal]

I'm having trouble breaking out of my normal start and boring old same old same old beginning.
I've tried all peasant starts. Single axe start. And I seem to still be locking into the same thing.

Time to shake things up.

I need 6 dwarves to come start my fort with me.

~30% [400] of the points are spent on an anvil and a few basic must haves. Anvil, Axe, pick, crossbow a spot of food and booze, and other
Things I figured any group settling would plan to bring into a scary setting.

That leave 70% of the points for 7 dwarves. Or 133 each.

I'll take the first six people who tell me how they want to spend 133 points. Skills and/or equipment. Up to you.

I'm leaning towards lvl 3 architect, lvl3 wood burner [it's funny not useful] for myself plus some goods, but we'll see. I didn't get all my points added before posting here.

Thanks

One level in Cheesemaker and 32 each of cow's milk, goat's milk, yak's milk and sheep's milk. Comes to precisely 133 points.

[emeralis00]

Proficient Liar [35], Proficient Bone Carver [35]. One Nanny Goat [26], one billy goat [26] (for bone production purposes). The remaining 11 points (assuming I did my math right), can go to the next guy, or to buy a cat.

[Baffler]

Proficient Beekeeper and [35] Proficient Wax Worker [70]. Along with 10 wood logs for hives [100], and a cow leather hood [108] and cow leather armor [129] for protection from stings.

[mastahcheese]

Buy a single male turkey, and use my remaining points to buy a bunch of females. Any left over goes towards booze.

[itg]

Proficient glassmaker (35)
10 logs (30)
68 bags of sand (68)

[Zaerosz]

Proficient Miner and as much bismuthinite, native copper and cassiterite as you can get in a 1:2:1 ratio.

[Mad Jackal]

Ok this will be interesting.

Thanks so much everyone.

I will have to do some research on the bee and wax industry. And I'll have to haul for the magma to get the glassworks set up.
I'm worried about the amount of booze we'll get (not many seeds made it into the purchase) But with all the livestock, we'll be eating ok. I think we'll forage for above ground crops to get our drink to start with.

I 'll try to post my selections and the rest of the purchases later. And if I can screen shot, maybe descriptions of your dwarves.

[Julien Brightside]

A pick, and 50/50 in mining and engraving.

[PigtailLlama]

Go all farmers and/or herbalists. Not all dwarves are fit for mining.
Or, if you want to do a mining frenzy, go 6 miners of various skill and one fisherman/herbalist to provide food, and carry a bunch of bituminous coal.

[Keldane]

I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out, Mad Jackal.
