Ok functioning.
So we have a depressed Mayor and the military needs work? Anything Else I should know?
Ok. Forces of Hell down below, Gotcha.
What should I know about them? Anything dangerous? Firebrutes, Mosquito demons, and Salt specters?
Read the posts on Page 13 and maybe 12 for details.
Here's info on the demons, from Best-Case Scenario, to Doomsday if you were to open the Hellgate.
Best-Case Scenario: You see demons rushing in, and you freak out, shutting the gate immediately.
Not-So-Good Scenario: Same as above, but a Fire Brute comes in at the last second. Fire Brutes are not that powerful and cannot deal any form of physical damage to creatures. BUT! They set anything they touch on fire, if possible. All their attacks phase through you, and a long string of attacks can reduce a dwarf to ashes in minutes. Isolate him and if possible, drown him or execute him with snipers. He has no ranged attacks.
Bad Scenario: Same as the first, but an Imp or Mosquito Demon gets in. You need to IMMEDIATELY lockdown the lower levels. Imps can throw fireballs, and Mosquito Demons and other demons like Gray Wraiths deal insane amounts of damage unarmed. A Champion would have a run for his money. Our ragtag excuse for a militia would be slaughtered by one, but not before you are able to evacuate the dwarves.
Doomsday: You open the door, and demons rush in so fast, and your dwarves are idiots, and are partying when they should be working and don't close the door fast enough.
EVERYONE nearby will be pronounced deceased in under 5 minutes. Most are building destroyers and have fireballs, poisons, and insane melee damage.
And they all can fly. Again, our ragtag militia hasn't a snowball's chance in... (excuse the pun.) If this happens, just reload the save once you're done watching the bloody mess.
Malle and Goukaryuujin are chosen ones.
Don't let them die. Little Malle is to train as a macedwarf as soon as she can work. Goukaryuujin's spirit possesses a bone carver with skill as a crossbowman. He's going to train to be a first-rate marksman.
Make sure the noble system gets fixed, the electrum road is finished, and that we don't die. Food and metals are alright. We have a steady stream of stuff coming in. If we can reclaim the caverns, we'll have almost unlimited gold. Not kidding. Good luck, Druid!
