Embarking in one of my three v0.31.24 Civ Forge+Wanderer's Friend+10k embark point+cheated smelter worlds.
Found a really good site. Stream, heavy conifer forest, clay, it either said flux stone or deep metals, and no aquifer. Calm surroundings. I'm clearing out the area to make a city-state type fortress, with clay walls, clay brick inner housings, wooden farmer's huts outside the walls, and lots of good houses. I will make a 21x21 keep out of stone in the centre eventually, but that's when I get a Baron(ess). I've also removed the tags that make dwarves [ALCOHOL_DEPENDENT], so they'll have no problem drinking water. I'll also have a half dozen pubs with booze and prepared meal stockpiles in their basements. Stone block roads will be placed in a street-style pattern in the city walls with dirt paths being dug outside. Once I'm done, the area should look like a grassland, with a few bushes of bamboo and some trees here and there.
Yes, I'm going to log the WHOLE map, even when the Elves ask me not to chop down more than a hundred or so trees. So I'll probably be facing a few elven sieges with them firing their wooden arrows at my walls. I will have my Longbowmen fire back at them with arrows of iron, and my swordsmen will deal with them shortly after my archers have taken out a good deal of the enemy.
Military will be laid out like this:
Swordsmen: Iron chainmail with iron bucklers and iron longswords.
Spearmen: Iron chainmail with iron breastplates, iron shields and iron spears.
Pikemen: Iron chainmail with iron breastplates and iron pikes.
Halberdiers: Iron chainmail with iron halberds.
Knights: Steel chainmail with steel breastplates, steel shields and steel war axes. Children of royalty.
Landsknechts (German mercenary): Iron chainmail with iron breastplates and iron two-handed swords. Elite swordsmen.
Archers: Leather armor with wooden shortbows and iron arrows.
Crossbowmen: Leather armor with wooden crossbows and iron bolts.
Longbowmen: Iron breastplate with wooden longbows and steel arrows. Elite archer.
Paladin: Bismuth bronze chainmail with bismuth bronze shields and silver skullcrackers. Elite knight.
Priest: Own clothing with wooden bucklers and silver maces. Defends temple.
Militia: Leather armor with wooden shields and bronze spears. Anyone inside the city walls.
Farmer militia: Own clothing with copper spears. Anyone with homes outside the city walls.
Hunter militia: Own clothing with wooden crossbows and wooden bolts. Anyone with hunting skills.
Woodcutter militia: Own clothing with any axe in their hands. Anyone with woodworking skills.
Sorry for the long post.
