A: Morul is awesome.

B: If you keep comparing Morul to Ironblood, someone's going to write a slash fic. Nobody wants to see that.

Unless of course, by slash-fic, you mean a fan-fic involving hacking and slashing with swords and axes.

But what happens if Oldbeard decides to stop watching and jeering and joins in on the fighting?

Once tried to conquer Earth, and succeeded! Too bad it got really, really boring, really, really fast.

One day, we shall all look back on this, and laugh. Sorry about the face, by the way, and the legs, and the eyes, and the arms. In fact, sorry 'bout the whole body.

It's too bad the Orc-a-pult method of fighting doesn't give Morul experience in Throwing or else he'd be well on his way in that category as well.

Not yet, but I can turn the ballista on the human caravan if the need arises. The 4 orc squads was encouraging. I've been building and installing clear glass windows which adds about 100K to the fortress wealth for each floor, so maybe that's helping bring the orcs back.

Maybe you'll luck out and get an expensive artifact from a mood, especially if you have any adamantine lying around. That'll drive up the value of the fort quite nicely.

How artifacts many do you have at this point anyway?

Any artifact that requires stone can be manipulated to use raw adamantine, which gives it a ridiculous boost in value. If it's furniture, you can then build it to double the effective value for your fort.

58 artifacts out of 74 dwarves.

I've essentially stopped digging at this point, so there hasn't been a mood in ages. Once the windows are in, I'll start making some other things. Maybe just a shitton of masterwork obsidian statues to install in rooms, or mechanisms, or something.

How many aluminum/platinum nuggets or raw adamantine do you have on hand? A masterwork aluminum statue alone is worth something like 12K if I recall correctly. Or was that for a aluminum mechanism?

Oh, 40 or so adamantium. I've been cautious to not breach the pit - saving that for later. Something like 400 wafers, though. 1500 steel bars. I can crank out quite a bit of value. I'm adding about 4M per year now it appears, just from the windows and other bits.

Don't know - the Mac 40d doesn't give framerate (I understand this is fixed up in d10 or so). But it's a bit slow. Not sure why - item count isn't climbing. Population is stable. Critters are all locked up tight.

But I've been doing a lot of other work on the computer, so it might just be all of that - haven't been able to spend too much time on Morul or creating wealth.

What about wall BARS?

My theory is that Morul is slowly reaching some manner of data critical mass, and will soon achieve sentience.

And a pop-up box reading 'Thanks' will appear on Martin's screen, just before Morul takes over the internet.
