Yes! Stand against the Gened!

[tomas1297]

Examine the beast to see if it has any powers.

[nahkh]

I don't think it had any powers. Just a blob of snow with a tail. I'll check the next time it rolls into sight.

So there's a bit of an issue. No nobles. Which means no trade, and now that the population is over 20 no militia either. Which puts me in a bit of a pickle.
I'm going to see if I can get a mayor if I keep the population over 50. And by sheer chance the migrants sitting on the surface have bumped it up to 51, so in a while

*slaps himself silly*

Yeah. Nevermind.
Brak's the man.



I was planning on letting the new guys in, but fuck that. I has a mayor and doesn't afraid of anything. You lot can starve.
Incidentally, there's some really skilled dwarves with the migration waves these days. At least one legendary, and a few high masters. Almost a pity. Almost.
And I really like how the migrant dwarves have a really diverse skill set usually, just like the dwarves currently living in any given fort.


EDIT:
D'awww, Brak even made his her first mandate. A weapon rack. Well, you got it sweetie.

EDIT 2:
I even dished out some noble positions. Here's what it looks like at the moment:

Set me up with a military capitan leader,  Krimson Calamity's the name.  Give him some badass axes and some decent armor and set him loose to protect the migraints up in the above ground.  Give him enough rations to start a surface base and draft most of the people still alive up there. 

[nahkh]

Now why would I do something like that? Psah, protect the migrants. What a joke.
But I will give one of the current migrants that name. Hell, I'll even pick one with fighting skills. Since I'm feeling generous, I'll unforbid the food the elves left behind that the first refugees didn't have time to get. Maybe even assemble them into a ragtag militia.

[Dante`]

Eh idk, To see how long they last against rampaging elephants? I just demand a simple burrow with no defenses other than the bodies of the migraints >_>

[nahkh]

They will get no such thing. And besides, the surface is elephant free this year it seems. They're slowly starving to death though.


EDIT:
Placeholder popped out another kid.
Here are the obligatory baby pictures.

[nahkh]

Aaand one of the surfacer children just bled to death. No idea why. Investigations are ongoing.

[Dante`]

Well then thats useless,  Oh well,

[nahkh]

Speak of the devil. The skeletal elephants returned.

In one of my more brilliant strokes of genius, I drafted the entire migrant force and ordered them to defend themselves.
Worked much better than running away. See for yourself:

It used to take MONTHS for the elephants to catch them all. Much more efficient.

[Dante`]

Woot a massacre!!!  Wouldnt it be much more efficient to dig a tunnel all the way to the magma sea and have them throw themselves in in some sort of ritual sacrafice to the dwarven gods?

[nahkh]

Nah, this way I don't really have to do anything. Besides I kinda like the way the bodies of the fallen litter the landscape. A-like so:

[nahkh]

What is with these damn refugees?

Well, congratulations Oglokoog.

[Dante`]

Refugees, they breed like cats.  And arent nearly as usefull.

[nahkh]

Oh bloody hell.
I've gotten so used to being able to just go out and cut some wood whenever I need some that I got careless. This is the result.

He might be screwed. Then again maybe not. He has an axe in his hands after all.
