It's tough to do a six level bulding in DF paint, I've found. Give me another day.

[Heron TSG]

just draw it in MS paint 

[Strife26]

I could, but then it'd look similar to the others. Sigh.

News:

The Construction Guild has nearly completed the Farmers Guildhall.

Nutsy Stibmermelbil has recovered from her wounds and is happy to hold a pick again.

A simple water system has been dug underneath the roads of the town.  The Tacticians Guild has been tasked with automating the system and providing a drain, but for the meantime we have water.  The Fishers Guild now has a hall, and their own lake.  Fortis has already caught some fine turtles and cave lobster.



The Elf Dwarf Liason was discovered dead in a section of the waterworks.  Vucar has been feigning innocence as to how he got there, but who would press the matter? He was only an elf.

A goblin snatcher was discovered.  He managed to escape with one of the orphan migrant children.  Rashvir Rashgurkeskal has voiced concern on the safety of her two infants.

Two obsidian statues were provided to the Farmers Guild by the Glassmakers.  They have been set with precious star sapphires.  I wonder what they could want in trade.

Nil now has two fire imps in metal cages.  He is working on expanding his collection and has spent much time down by the chasm.  He has found a home for his four war dogs.  The Tacticians get two in exchange for a cellar an dungeon to be dug beneath his hall.  The Construction Guild gets the other two as part of a contract for the above ground structure of the Trappers Hall.

The streets of Staticbasements are bustling with activity, the signs of a prosperous and healthy community.  Yet beneath the surface of this peace and good fortune is the knowledge that one goblin ambush could rend this town apart by the seams.

So construction on the guilds has been taking some time, but immigration seems to have slowed down.  This is a good thing as I havn't given beds to the last two waves yet.

@Eagle:  If you can wait for a miner migrant to show then your Guild is in, or I can put you in with the Tacticians for the meantime, as they have been doing the mining for the town.

Things should get fun down the road, especially if half the town gets slaughtered as I am assuming it will.  Most my open air forts need a gigantic military to survive.  The Fighters have 3 champion wrestlers, one elite wrestler, and 2 recruits.  Not much in the face of a goblin crossbow squad.

[Eagle]

I'll wait for a miner, or an engraver, to start up the guild. I like the layout so far, can you please keep that small hill behind the glassmakers intact? I want to have that be the entrance into the Earthshapers guild.

Thanks.

Hmmm... I approve of the guildhall... Very impre- OH GOD THERE'S A ZOMBIE WITH A CAPITAL Z IN THE HALL!

Also, the farmer's guild is willing to fund the construction of a town wall, preferably one with a parapet. Possibly also the fortifying the guildhall's roof. I also want to start expanding into more aboveground farming.

[jplur]

@Eagle: will do.

@Boksi: will do regarding the aboveground farming.  As for the town wall, that is a huge investment that would take the cooperation of all guilds and halt any further improvements until it was done.

So in otherwords can we get a vote on town walls?  Majority wins.

On the metalsmiths guild:

Not quite what I had in mind, but it will do for now. I'm not sure how the smiths get any sleep.

Also, wondering where the waterworks for the waterfall are going to go.

[short_dwarf]

I'm guessing im the one of the recruits?

I wouldn't mind town walls

With a bridge as a gate ^_^

The foundry room could and probably needs to be expanded in both directions.  But if you look at the plumbing system it will be easy to drop it down through the foundry.  I just need a failsafe drain system beneath the town, maybe something like this: http://www.mkv25.net/dfma/map-4775-vigorwalls

And those beds are temporary, we'll have to figure out where to house your members.


Reg is actually one of the legendary wrestlers, I let him train with his mace for a bit and put one of his recruits into bedrest.  I think he just needs some real world experience,.

[Eagle]

I wouldnt mind town walls, just make sure they at least encompass enough for a bit of expansion. Unless we want a medieval class division castle/outlying village type thing.

EDIT: Once the Earthshapers get some members, i wont mind digging and engraving rooms for everyone, so long as they provide furniture/hauling/pets to the diggers.

[Himmelhand]

I wouldn't mind a town wall.  Maybe make the guildhalls form most of the wall in such a way that most of the business happens in a courtyard.

Also, the glassmakers demand EPIC BOOZE in return for the awesome statues.

Also, are the glassmakers taking care of obsidian making, because if so, awesome, and if not, I want a slice of that pie.

[Heron TSG]

so, anyone want to hire a dedicated hauler?

EDIT: just found some plans for something I'd like in my guild hall, which i will now PM jplur with.

[Fortis]

This recent goblin activity concerns me. The fisherdwarf guild supports the idea of the town walls. We'll provide fish to any guilds that provide labor and material to build the wall. We're willing to let our guild hall become part of the wall. Just enclose the lake please.

Secondly, could I ask the Tacticians guild to dig a few ramps in the banks of the lake? I don't want any dwarf who falls in to drown because they forgot how to swim.

[Strife26]

I'll figure something out for the water works in a minute.

I intend to eventually have a fair number of archers under the tactician's guild, based out of underground access bunkers (all of which only lead to the fortified guildhall). I'm just drawing up a pencil sketch on paint now.

These are the rough plans for the above ground portions of the tacticians guild. The thick black spots are doors, and the red dash are fortifications. From upper left,
we have the mainlevel, people who are entering the hall can't just walk in. They have to go up to the second floor (eventually, some dogs would be nice here) then back down before they have access the main part of the guild.
The second floor (upper right) is mostly arrow slits, with the addition of two outer bunkers, for added field of fire.
Third floor (lower left) is arrow storage (they'll be more underground) and a firing range.
Fourth floor is the area for the guild master and roof access (I have plans for the roof later).

Underground will eventually have some small farms, workshops, storage and other stuff.
