Diary of Noodle0117Winter is approaching, although I doubt it will really get cold enough to be called an actual winter.
The fort is certainly in much better shape than it was when I first came, although it still needs a bit touching up in terms of decoration and wealth.
The river damming project went along a lot more smoothly than I expected, good thing too especially since we lack the numbers to make up for any mistakes that could have happened.
I think it would only be suitable if I record how I managed to carry out this task in case anyone else in the future might want to do the same.
First, I gave orders to dig a sizable trench beneath the source side of the river.
Second, I ordered the engravers to smooth out some water passing fortifications at the edge of the territory.
How these fortifications enable an infinite amount of water to drain out is beyond my comprehension, but all I need to know is that it works.
Third, I order a row of floodgates built so that we can control when we want the river to drain or not.
Fourth, for faster draining, I've ordered a trench to be dug out from beneath the middle of the river. This trench is then diverted to the original draining device so that it doesn't flood up right away.
Fifth, I've ordered the masons to construct a thin stone pathway right over the trenches that were dug out earlier. These will later be linked up to supports and levers and will eventually be used to punch out holes in the river that will allow the water to drain.
Sixth, I pull the lever.
And watch the show
The ghosts seemed a tad bit disturbed that I washed their former bodies off the face of the map, but I'll just engrave a few slabs to satisfy them.
All the future overseers need to do is to pull that left lever in the multicolored room to unleash the river's fury.
It's getting late and I should rest.
