Got my king. I decided I should build a large palace for him. To do so, after about a year or two of channeling, I've finally finished cutting a chunk of mountain out to create a place for it.
Even the mountains themselves will bow down to their king. And it's not because he like alunite and rose gold, both of which are trivial to produce, it's not because of any historical feat. The reason this scrawny, brown-skinned, brass-eyed king whose medium-length hair is arranged in double braids, whose medium-length mustache and long beard are neatly combed, gets a palace is because he always snaps his fingers when he greets someone.
"*snap* Yo."
Some Stonesense images of the fort:
Those are walls and doors made of lead. Eventually, each door leading to the chamber will have a 10-crossbow trap in front of it. For some reason, I'm having a hard time getting plump helmets stored in there.
Meant to make that a shot of the outside, but whatever.
Lost one miner(from the starting 7) trying to build pillars along the bridge. Forgot that bridges don't provide support.
The inside has 10-copper menacing spike traps, which have proven to kill war cave dragons and armored goblins.
And yes, that's a bolt on the roof. And I'm not happy about it.
It took a few days real time to get that mountain carved, and constant attacks, ambushes, and kidnappings by the goblins haven't helped. Except when they kill the elven caravans while we're really short on cloth. That helped a lot.
Next step is to clear all that stone off the site. With 30-40 idlers on average, it shouldn't take too long(it's all from the layers above, though). Hopefully the king stays sane in this time. Right now, he and his queen consort are stuck in a standard 3x3, to which I added 4 rose gold statues.
