@Vieto: I forgot to post your dwarf's profile:
Lackluster little guy, but then again there is little ore on the map so I guess his ambitions are fitting. He has been making iron and copper bolts non stop though.
The Nobles are not up for grabs, they will serve a very important purpose in Staticbasements.
As noticed, the defenses are a little thin. The Tacticians downsized their marksdwarf force to 2. Of the 8 Fighters, Lorbam was killed, and Reg is hospitalized. In addition, Reg's first recruit Dabar is practically useless. She stands over food or booze piles for hours in confusion, or wanders the streets with a blank look on her face. Though she is a legendary wrestler, she hasn't shown up at her post in two years.
@short_dwarf: I can switch a couple of your guys to marksdwarf if you want.
A drawbridge is in the works for the gate but not much I can do about our understaffed military.
About the labors/micromanaging: Guilds only haul what pertains to them, i.e. farmers haul food. Haulers have all hauling and a monopoly on burial. Mining is shared between Tacticians and Earthshapers, though Vucar is kept on it because he got rather good in the first year. The construction guild has a couple masons with engraving, the Earthshapers 3 members are still very untrained when it comes to mining or smoothing.
Regarding the various industries, I try to keep all the guilds busy and honor your request, i.e. the short lived cheese fiasco. The Traders guild has been working with cloth and leather rather than making stone mugs, but they have been working non stop. Glassmakers make raw glass for their jewlers and specialty items. Boksi is well on his way to legendary cook. We have 4 legendary bone carvers, if you count the boy, who are always busy making bone bolts and decorating with shell.
List of Legendary Guildmasters:
Nutsy Stibmermelbil - Legendary Miner
Vucar Vodlolor - Legendary Pump Operator
Tradebeard Bothonmorul - Legendary Appraiser
Reg Anuzoltar - Legendary Wrestler
Fortis Melbilgeb - Legendary Bone Carver
And finally, which one of you ate the purring maggots? We had 3 at one point and now they are gone.
