Oh, yeah, i really should update this once in a while heh?
Yeah, getting an effective military up and running is hard. An EPIC ambush took place outside of the gates to my fort. At first, it didn't look that intimidating, I thought my bowpixies could scare them off.
i was wrong.
one ambush came from one side, another ambush came from the other, a two front battle! all of my active military was set to fight them, and the pixies and wardogs beset them. Because of the terrible lack of metal, my army only had very minimal armor. All of them had shields though (because, for some reason, shields can be equipped by anybody, regardless of who made it, so i managed to import alot of them). The Red gobbo blood and the Blue pixie blood mixed in the water of the Brook as we painstakingly won the battle!
Dirlu and Vicu, a bowpixie and a champion respectively, were the only casaulties. Vicu was the lover of the Mayor, which saddened her heart, and Dirlu was the best bowpixie in all of Strokedroots, which saddened MY heart. Also, a retarded pissant butcher that just got here was killed in the crossfire, but nobody cared about him.
Although they died, because of their sacrifice, the enemy DID NOT get through the main gate of Strokedroots!
Oh, and finally! It is the third year, and the dwarven caravan, bearing much stone is here! Finally! stone! NUM NUM NUM! it tastes so good! I can finally make mechanisms! and querns! and other things!
Oh, why not make millstones? because i just realized that my locations doesn't have any wind at all. and i can't break into the brook, and any sort of other power bearing device would be impractical to my needs.
