My cunning plan is to create a fortress like no other - based not on fighting, but on peaceful study, writing and arts. Diamonddreams will consist of a library tower, living quarters, a tavern and a cathedral, but little else. Dwarves will be refined and intelligent, writing books and pondering philosophy. The arts will also be encouraged, with dancing and poetry.
Even the sub-class of servants and workers who mine, smith and farm will be cultured and refined.
This will not be a succession fortress, but you can be dorfed if you wish, and rename them. I will be updating from the point of view of the dwarf/ves I choose as my avatars in DF.
It is a small world with frequent minerals and 550 year history. Its name is the Land of Vision - perhaps an omen?
