Okay, I somehow lost the screenshots I made and I'm not in the mood to retake them so you're going to have to make do with descriptions.
Entry 3
We got bedrooms!
[Screenshot of the bedrooms, they're all 3x3 bedrooms and everyone is all like 'whoa! We got bedrooms!']
It took us a half year to make them but we did it! I finally don't have to share one room with these morons, just the other day Gar (the mechanist) told me that he was 'the head of the mechanic's guild'
"Gar," I said "You're the only bleedin' mechanic in this place!"
"Which is EXACTLY why I should be the head of the guild!" Somehow his logic was irrefutable "And as the head of the guild I order that a) All levers of this fortress are to be build is a single room, b) Only the Head Mechanist, his family or mechanists of sufficient skill (described in part 5, subsection b of my proposal) are authorised to operate said levers and-"
"Alright, got it. Control room, only you and the people you like are allowed to touch the levers. Now go build some stonefall traps!" [MANDATE COMPLETE]
We just finished building one of Gcd's staircases. I hope it's sufficiently elaborate.
[Screenshot of the staircase. It's got a central pillar that the stairs twist around. There's statues on the stairs and on top of the pillar. Everyone is all like 'whoa! This is a very elaborate spiral staircase!']
I figured one staircase would be enough for now so I got the masons to start working on some little luxuries, like doors.
Now that everyone has their own bedroom we can convert the old dormitory to a barracks. I got the miners to dig out a back room which we furnished with enough armor stands and weapon racks to accomodate a small militia. [MANDATE COMPLETE] We also got another migrant wave (there were nine of them) Three of the new migrants are now part of the military.
We hit a vein of native silver and lignite! I got the military guys to smelt it for us and got Zomara to make axes out of it. Yug immediately called dibs on one of them. [MANDATE COMPLETE]
Some of the migrants volunteered to take care of some of the paperwork which is good because I HATE paperwork. We now got a manager and a bookkeeper, the miners dug out some fancy offices for us.
[Screenshot of three offices. One of them is way bigger than the other offices and has a big-ass copper desk instead of a stone one. Everyone is like 'Whoa! That's a really nice office with a really nice copper desk! I wonder who that office belongs to! (hint: It's mine)']
The traders stopped by, I was planning to have Zomara make some armor that we could trade but she (or is it he? Whatever) was too busy with building a goddamn staircase that leads absolutely nowhere.
So far nothing bad has happened. This would normally be considered a good thing but it's making me nervous. Ususally when nothing bad happens for an extended period of time it just means the universe is saving up the pain and agony and will try to release it all in one big tsunami of bad stuff. I wonder if maybe I can just break someone's legs and cause some karmic balance?..
