So it's a monopoly?
« on: January 21, 2010, 01:09:34 pm »
I just got to economy and noticed all 8 newly-built shops a owned by the same dwarfette: Ast Gigingeshud "Flierfortress", my "Admin" (aka Mayor/Manager/Hoardmaster/Broker). So does political power lead to economic power, or did she just have nothing to do besides buying shops because she doesn't have many labors active and is legendary three times over?

Maybe it has something to do with her multiple noble jobs giving her a lot of money... I am not experienced with economy thus I cannot help you more. I'd like to know about the mechanics of economy too.

I seem to recall (and the Wiki also claims) that all shops start out owned by either your Broker or your Bookkeeper.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Yeah, and as a noble, your Bookkeeper doesn't actually have to buy anything to acquire it anyway.  The shops belong to them at first by default, and then other dwarves buy them.
