It's time for another quarterly update. Autumn just came. Summer was quite uneventful, apart from churning out blocks, only four noteworthy events occurred.
(1) Human caravan came. I was actually thinking whether I should mention it. They had some cloth, thread, food and booze, we had some spare golden crafts. Now we have some cloth, thread, food and booze and they have some golden crafts.
(2) I've been thinking about setting up justice system. With 44.10 around, I've seen tantrums being thrown quite often and I am vaguely remembering reading that sheriff/guards can cut tantrum spirals short. I'd like to verify it and so I want to see if I can manage to get prison standing before spring rolls around. As for the justice person, I'm thinking about
Kaemurl, competent macedwarf. We have access to ores needed to smelt bronze, so bronze armor it is. But since he is going to hold special position, I'd like his equipment to be special as well. I've noticed a few (2 exactly) bismuthinite boulders in our stock and it occured to me: I'll have him wield bismuth bronze armor and a silver mace! I needed more bismuthinite, but I've read on wiki it is found in small clusters in granite. We are literally sitting on granite, so I've decided to do some exploratory mining:
And soon it was found!
In orthoclase? So much for small clusters in granite...
(3) One of our masons made an artifact quern. I wish she made a millstone instead, I consider them superior to querns.
At least I now have a legendary mason available. That means more blocks more quickly. No complaints about that.
(4) And finally, our outpost has been promoted and we now have
to deal with a privilege of having a mayor.
I'll leave town hall for someone else to build. With justice system in place we better pay attention to mandates though. I have a feeling they are going to be demands of:
Buckets. Could be worse. By the way, have you ever sold a bucket?
And total progress halfway through my turn is like this:
My goals are to:
- Provide housing to our dwarfs. Two houses are needed to accomplish that.
- Build a part of the walls. It is a project for multiple years and it would be superb if it gets completed before goblins come.
- Build a house for Kaemurl to do dwarven justice in.
After seeing my progress until now I've began to wonder if I can make it in time. I wanted to pass the save with my projects complete and made all efforts to build as quickly as possible. I'm having blocks made on large scale and the production can keep up with designations. But the building itself is the bottleneck. Every dwarf not busy hauling wood or stone or making blocks is helping with the constructions, but they cannot keep up. Let's see how much progress I can make during autumn and I'll decide what to do when winter arrives.
