Yeah, we'll use the basement. If it's not too much, Hoborobo, can you give us a general heads-up on what is legal and what is not?

Would be nice.

Also, is there anything the people generally crave? Liquor? Cigarettes? Chocolate?

Well that's what we can sell. I guess they might want the luxury liquid.

Maybe we can slowly slowly SLOOOWWLY tap into the bootlegging business. Maybe join the black market*, gain power and influence, etc.

*If there is one, anyways.

There is bound to be a black market. And I think that should be were we obtain weapons. Getting them legally could be impossible or so full of policies that they could easily be tracked to us.

The black market is present yet heavily suppressed and hard to find. The docklands are probably the best place to find somebody who knows how to get in contact with someone who knows how to access it.

Of course, these law breakers are keen in the art of smuggling and are not afraid to break the law. Maybe these are the sort of people we should be looking at if we want to start gaining more members and creating more disruption to the infrastructure or create political tension.

Rather than having them directly force you to mine adamantine, I would suggest that they give you strange moods that require adamantine. "Dig out the adamantine or Urist here goes insane and dies" is suitably vicious.

(It occurs to me that you can probably get "Lovecraft" as the random name of your fortress. That's when you know you're screwed.)

Noted. We'll get in later. First we need a economic base. Those weapons won't do much good if we can't afford them.

In that case, would you like to fast forward?

Gentlemen, if it's not too late I would like to join the revolution.

What we need is a garage or some kind of workshop.
We could make homemade weapons.

We also need to buy a pub/bar where smuggles, cut-throats, bandits and potential allies might hang out.

No I'm not psychic. I just know that this is dwarf fortress. and the most stupidly awesome and inexplicable thing is probably going to be the first thing to happen.

Okay, I think we should get more monies before we can think of getting into the black market. Can we skip time a few months, if that's ok?

Yeah, I think we could get ourselves some thugs, but we should stockpile the alcohol. Might be what they want from us.

I say electronics seem the most profitable.
Also, we should use the basement for something, not just stocking surplus.

Search for a larger, more profitable shop
