Think of it as supplier and retailer pricing. When 'Value' and 'Profit' are both at 0, they're breaking even, but would you want to spend a month with half a dozen unwashed hippies elves behind a pair of oxen and just break even?
'Merchant price' would be better than 'value' and 'profit', but this is a timeframe before set pricing.
Dear military of Lightcities,
Three ambushes and two dozen dead dwarves later, and Sakzul Febonrel "The Fenced Rope of Coiling" isn't just a hero, he's the only dwarf with any kills.
Not counting Urist McBlisterpile, who bravely threw his infectious self at a goblin before succumbing to infection, but at least took the goblin (and a llama, turkey, his dog, and two cavies) with him.
When I drafted you all and removed your hauling, cleaning, and building responsibilities, I kind of assumed that you would spend the time that would otherwise be spent hauling, cleaning, and building in the barracks. Not slacking around. Switching you guys to 'active' only gets you training on the weekend.
Follow Sakzul's example, grab a spear, and spend some time next to the target so you don't die the next time the greenies show up.
Dear Urist McIdiotNoble,
You know damn well that crystal glass is bugged. That's why you haven't gotten the armor rack you were made demands for between mandates that we can't take bins to the depot (we're going to talk about that one. They're not getting traded, it's just easier to carry them than everything out of them.) and you're demanding a handful of crafters punished.
See, I'm more than happy to give you that green window you demanded, even though your room is exactly in the center of the mountain, you idiot.
You know what the view through that window is? It's a floodgate.
Your next demand better be for a lever, because that's what you're getting.
