Orbsshocks, the New way to look at things! [Succession]
« on: April 29, 2014, 08:40:53 am »

Orbsshocks is a succession fort with a twist. I initially intended this fortress for a video series but my computer refused to work with it^^

There are two Castes one may choose for their turn, either Velvet Glove or Iron Fist.

Velvet Gloves are specialists in Arts while the only Art Iron Fists are interested in is Art of War.

I will not be making any story contributions to this thread, it's all up to you.

Well, almost no story contribution, someone has to outline the Rules for each playstyle@

Velvet Gloves are allowed to:
-Make Crafts, Toys, Instruments and Jewelry for trade and decoration
-Make clothing, armor is unsavoury among the Artists after all
-Build and Utilize Siege Engines and other Machines (Pumps, wind turbines etc.)

Velvet Gloves cannot:
-Produce weapons and armor
-create military furniture and workshops (bowyer workshop, armor stands etc.)
-command military in any way, for averting threats Velvet Gloves need to rely on previously dwarf patrol routes, stations and Siege Equipment
-organise militia, shceduling and equipment cannot be fiddled with by Velvet Gloves

Iron FIsts can:
-Command militia
-Organise Militia
-Build any Military Grade Items and Workshops they wish

Iron Fists are not allowed to:
-Build crafting workshops such as Craftsdwarf Workshop, Looms, Clothemakers Workshops etc
-Make any crafts, toys, jewelry or instruments
-Use siege equipment, it is considered a civilian job afterall

Both castes can do mundane buildings and tasks:
-Managing, bookkeeping, trade etc
-Coking, brewing, butchering and animal training
-Medical Care
-Farming
-Making Bedrooms, Offices, Dining rooms and other rooms usable by both military and civilians

Good Luck^^ Oh and if you get more than one turn you can change you political allegiance, with a good explanation of course^^

Added to the list, and if anyone wonders why my name is in a color different than designated to either fraction it's because i did not consider that at the time of construction^^

Can the velvet gloves switch squads and civilians between alerts?

Ummm.... I guess one could say alerts are ok as Gloves, they are not "s" menu and require no micromanaging the squads, i think

Okay, that's good.  Time to set up the entire military structure by the end of year one.

And yeah, no micromanaging, just giving squads and civilians orders to go to predefined places and do predefined things.

What's the size of the world, age and size of embark. I would like to know before I consider signing up.

EDIT: Keas restricted to tropical forests where they belong.  Those evil, EVIL, foul little things.
 
Edit: The baby murderer became a friend of the fortress, which started a loyalty cascade, and now most of the squad is dead.

Think of it as being way too rich/important to sully your hands with such brutish tasks as fighting ;D

Wolf, how are we doing?
