Have I reached maturity yet?

Nah not yet.  You might before the end of the story though.

Man, this is going to be awesome.
What's that undead one there?

Sorry...never answered this.

That was the goblin squad leader.  Legendary goblin warriors have a different graphic.  All the goblins have attacks and damblocks of a few thousand now, so those legendaries are even more super awesome than normal.

I don't think implying makes your post any more polite.


Back on topic, how are the civilians handling the almost-threat to their lives?

Sure, you're in, along with TALLPANZER and Leesin.  I'll get a screenshot of the two noble families shortly.

If a civilian shows fear around here, they obviously dont have faith in Armok, and they obviously dont have faith in their own strength...and weakness is punished horribly.  These dwarves have survived fifty years of Blockedlance, I bet they were doing the entrance dance and HOPING the goblins would come.  After the gobbos died and fled, the dwarves of Blockedlance were probably walking up and down the halls, boasting about how they could have taken that entire horde on all  by themselves...with nothing but a blowgun!!!

You must now work on a new megaproject as a sign of thanks to the gods, or, more specifically, Ber/Armok.

You should definitely make a backup of your last save to a flash drive or something.

The Empress had been partying with the Duke during the last siege, and when news was brought to her of Akhier's death and of the loss of a loyal Stonecutter and an allied diplomat, Urist became despondent.  She didnt let the peasants know of course, and put up a strong front.  She boasted how proud she was to rule over such dwarves as Akhier, and that Armok held a special place in the afterlife for great warriors such as Akhier and Akigagak, who had given the ultimate sacrifice.  She assured them how much faith she had in Armok's plan, and that no sacrifice was too great.  By the end of her speech, the dwarves were ready to throw their lives away for the Empire, even though most of them benefited so little from it.  Urist had so far maintained unity and a strong solid focus.

Deep down however, she was having serious doubts.  The fortress population had plummeted from 234 dwarves to 43, and was only now rising again (now 64).  There were only two remaining warriors left, both pagan.  There were two large noble families that could possibly take power at any moment.  With no family of her own the Empress was cornered and threatened in the Empire she supposedly ruled.  It was only the fear of Armok that kept Khamero and Jewelettarette's sons back.  But Armok no longer seemed in complete control.  Had he ever been?  He was just a god among gods, afterall.  And while he had been locked in the underworld for the last thousand years, these elf and goblin gods had been leeching spirit juju from their faithful worshipers. 

Well...it really wasn't worth it to have doubts at this point.  It's not like she could bring back all the dead and make it right with the goblins or elves.  And it's not like she would want to.  She had long ago thrown her lot in with the Blood God, and she would have to see it all the way through.  These elves and goblins were inferior sub-sapients.  Urist could not fathom a world dominated by these creatures, and she would do whatever she could do to rid the world of their plague.

Urist tried to reinvigorate her spirits by admiring her great accomplishments.  She had afterall, created a great new breed of dwarves, strong and fit and ardently loyal to the Blood God.  Here they were, inches from power, and yet they could not bring themselves to disobey Armok's chosen dwarf.  Urist looked to the scions of these two great houses, Johann Schmidt and Airag.  These dwarves were the future of dwarvenkind! 

Here is the family tree of Johann Schmidt, eldest son of the Dungeon Master and the Court Musician...



And here is the family tree of Airag, eldest son of the Grand-Duchess' youngest daughter and a reformed pagan Stonecutter...




These are the noble lineages that all future dwarven generations will one day be descended from.  If Urist had no heir, then for the next thousand years the rulers of dwarves will be from among the eldest male lines of these families.
