It is the road...of DOOOOM!

So just checkin', we're totally going to make a fort at that pretty little chokepoint, aren't we?

Please tell me that the embark point has some clay at least, right? Can you make clay blocks without a kiln?

Clay Blocks? why clay blocks?

If we can make clay blocks without a kiln (and I can't remember, I've been spoiled by magma forges for too long), then we have an unending supply of material and a building material that might not be the sturdiest, but is better than nothing.

Are we not going underground at all then? That would mean we won't get any strange moods, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. At least it'd mean no more ridiculously expensive toy hammers.

Ok we have a bolt hole burrowed into the side of the hill. Individual homes are being built outside in blocks. They will be two floor tenement type houses. There should be some clay somewhere but we have no shortage of sand.

The current local has Emus, pike in the river, and shell fish. Or trade economy is a bit on the weak side currently. Mostly animal bits craft junk. That is to keep our wealth low enough until we can build a better foritifed site and get the exterior city set up.

Only problem is, you need wood to make glass blocks. If you can make clay blocks without a kiln (I believe in the craftsman workshop?) then we save some wood. Otherwise we might as well put up wood walls.

Why waste the time making useless clay blocks when we can use stone.

but stone isn't nearly as unnecessary as clay. and if we can't do unnecessary things on a whim, what's the point?

You're still thinking like a dwarf. tongue

Considering I was facing kobolds at the end of my first year on the other town, I'm guessing I highballed the economy. So if I do get the other one up and running, the second year might be a little TOO Fun.

We're on the surface. Everyone's as likely to die as a warrior. tongue

[up] a warrior is probably the least likely to die, as they know how to defend themselves.

I would like to get peopled as the first male migrant to show up. Specifically the angriest person of the bunch. Story time coming soon.

I have an idea for a pointless superweapon, a Walking Tank that uses a railgun to fire lava at the elv- wait do we even hate the elves anymore as humans?

Yup. Everyone hates them. Plus we use the same resources, so we might as well off the economic competition.

And we don't have the technology for moving structures yet. I don't know which release that'll be in.

Fine back to the drawing board.

EDIT: Also someone should start a page for this fort.

Because a single rock carved into blocks gives us 4 blocks. Everything else gives us one. The save is ready to be passed along. Found a working set up. We have a bolt hole fort in hill, farms, craft shops and a two story apartment like structure with a 2nd floor walk up.

We are only in our first year why would we have a military? We are still carving out living spaces and the baselines for further industry.

I can have the save ready to pass on tonight.
