And thus begins the LordNuts' first year of
despotism rulership.
This post will be updated with the status of the fortress.
4th Sandstone.I, LordNuts am but a humble peasant. Yet I will lead this fortress, brought down by internal and external strife, to awe-inspiring might and riches.
My methods will not always be ethical, but who will complain about that except for the elves?
5th Sandstone.The first part of my plan is complete.
It wasn't really much of a problem convincing Barbarossa that I would make a much better
slavedriver Town Manager than him, especially when I told him that when he gave up the job he would have more time convincing others to join his
cult religious faction (worshiping the blue burning stone).
And then it was just a matter about filling in some paperwork in order to
sack retire the former Hoardmaster. The mayor isn't going to pose any problem, she's more of a social worker than a leader.
I've got this fortress under my command!
6th SandstoneMy first mandate was to assign some war dogs to me. A
despot ruler has to have some protection, right?
And I like dogs! They're loyal to their master until death, right? Just what I need.
7th SandstoneApparently the captain of the guard has locked himself in a jeweler's workshop and is screaming about not having the correct type of gems. I've ordered the him to be walled off. It'll
stop the screams and remove another competitor be for the safety of us all!
8th SandstoneI've started compiling a list consisting of all the
lazy slackers less productive members of dwarven society. Might be handy for the future.
In totally unrelated news I've also designated the construction of a new "refuse dump".
Due to a "construction fault" one lever has been "misplaced".
9th SandstoneThe great food drougth is over. Never again will I eat vermin!
11th SandstoneThis mayor is getting more and more irritating. She recently not only smashed some furniture, she even demanded me to make her some mining equipment. I might have to
kill dispose of her somehow.
14th SandstoneI'll no longer tolerate this lack of discipline in
MY this fort.
She'll be the first to test the refuse dump, and it won't be just cutting a ribbon.
23th SandstoneScratch that plan. She recieved a beating from one of our guards and is currently dying. I'm forbiding any dwarves from even touching her. I rule this fortress!
2nd TimberCurrently construction the new fortress' entrance. My plans were twarted by that damn microline again. Luckily no miners were lost (those aren't part of the "less productive members of dwarven society"-list). My plans are remade. New Sealbarb will be glorious!
I told the expenable military to enter the "refuse pit" as part of their rite de passage. When the lever was pulled a fearsome dragon would be released. If they could slay it they would become the future heroes of Sealbarb.
Those guillible fools!
[Note: Excessive migrant waves are being delt with]3rd TimberAccording to the screams the former captain of the guard has finally gone mad.
The mayor has been put under house arrest. (Locked in her room)
I HEREBY PROCLAIM MYSELF SELF-STYLED DESPOT OF THIS FORTRESS.14th MoonstoneMost of the dwarves accept my dictatorship. I'll still have to keep an eye out for traitors.
Construction on New Sealbarb is progressing nicely.
The gnomish caravan has arrived.
16th MoonstoneA human siege has arrived! I'll teach them never to interfere with my politics again! (Plus some useless military idiots might get killed.)
18th Moonstone18th OpalA child has claimed a workshop as is gathering materials as I write this.
If it doesn't produce anything vaguely interesting/amusing/useful I'll throw it together with its family in the dwarven refuse pit, they won't be missed.
Even his deity agrees!
22th OpalWe already have a legendary bonecrafter. TO THE DUNGEONS!
2nd GraniteThe mayor finally died.
13th GranitieA human ambush has been dealt with. The previous squad leader was drinking at the time. He will be
dealt with retiring early.
15th GraniteThere is some mongering among the officers. I must quell this rebellion before it gets out of hand.
The execution platform is being installed.
16th Granite, Early Morning A human snatcher appeared. His eyes are currently being gauged out by our lovely friend the Bonelord.
16th Granite, MorningApparently I underestimated the human snatcher. He wounded the Bonelord and got away.
17th GraniteAnother child snatcher appeared. You know what? I don't care. I don't give a damn about those Armokdamn babies.
19th GraniteThe first snatcher was found. I'm starting to like his screams of agony, too bad I can't keep him as a pet.
12th SlateDisaster has struck. Apparently I've been managing this fortress too good and the mountainhomes noticed this.
Currently the executing platform for the rebellious militarists is being built. It might have some other uses as wel...
15th SlateComrades! Today we will remember as the day that Sealbarb has arisen from its ashes to glory and power! A new era is approching! The era of Sealbarb!
Food is in abundance! housing is for not for just the rich! Happiness is Sealbarb's main export!
Yet still there are traitors, cowards, saboteurs, assassins among us.
One of them is this man! When the last human ambush came he was hiding in his room, causing many injuries among our resilent citizens! He shall be punished accordingly, just like these newly-arrived so-called "nobledwarves". They did nothing for Sealbarb, in fact the only reason why they are "the elite" of dwarven society is because they inherited it!
A true dwarf does not inherit anything, he earns it through hard work and bravery!
Viva la Revolución!
The other nobles will follow shortly.
18th SlateA butcher has claimed a craftdwarf's workshop and his working furiously at the moment.
I'll keep a close eye on this one.
22nd SlateHuzzah! Another bonecrafter. He'll be replacing the currently recovering Bonelord.
11th HematiteA lizardman siege has arrived. Let's see what our military can do about that.
And one dead champion.-[Ahum, savescum due to being illprepared for orcs]22nd HematiteKobold Ambush.
Result.
-[I think the game is trying to tell me something about my methods(KKK)]10th MalachiteThe hammerer finally died.
26th MalachiteApparently the migrants consider us a deathtrap, can't blaim 'em.
20th LimestoneAn elf ambush party was founded and defeated, at the cost of one herbalist caught in the crossfire.
Currently trading with the minotaurs.
