Hmm...too open to abuse I reckon.  If there is a method for refusing immigrants then it should be an all or nothing option, with declining immigrants if there are constant refusals.</STRONG>

how about this: have the immigrants come with some friendships developed. you don't know about them, so each time you refuse o accept someones friend or spouse or child they don't come. so by refusing that farmer you could end up with less forge workers then you needed. it's a risk.

strangely I can't find any of them. (I think I only saw one, anyway...)

as for ammunition, you get it from dead kobolds and goblins. humans will pretend to make them (and even outfit their bowmen with some), but they steal them form kobolds too (probably).

yeah, it's been done. not sure if with these precise rules, but very similar for sure.

I'll take miner.
1 backpack (borrowed from a neighbor)
1 copper pick (old, but very well mended. repeatedly.)
1 set of peasant clothes (new, if a little dusty)
1 set of rags (worn)
1 week worth of hardtack.
other stuff borrowed long ago: 2 spoons, a metal cup, a piece of flint, and a worn towel with the words '..mpa..am ..lath' barely visible, he claims it to be his grandfathers name.
1 cat (wanted to take 255, upon finding out they were free, but decided against it- they take up space  :( )

Ked came from around the nearest corner carrying a collection of items better described as "a pile of stuff".
'ah, good'- he said - ' I see you haven't left yet.'
dumping his stuff in a pile on the ground so now it fully resemblied it's description, he continued his questions.
'so, old ... man, you know about this place? are there gems? lots and lot of them right? - now turning to the administartor - we won't be shoveling sand for 9 moths like last time, right?'

Alien legacy?

on the wall is an engraving of a wall, a ball and blocks. the wall is traveling. the ball is striking down the blocks.

making something that uses dual core is not too hard. However making something that was optimized for single core run dual (or, god forbid, multi-core) can be a big pain in the behind.

Not anymore. Towns were buggy, so they were "temporarily" removed. However considering that the development has stopped, it's a safe bet you won't see them again.

yeah, it's a bit of a stretch. the idea is that all the gods are sth_ok's and you are sth_ak. perhaps it should go like this:

Arm_ok: god of arms and blood
Leg_ok: god of legs and football
Tor_ak: god of torsos and misspeling

Tor_ak: god of misspelling.

P.S. why is Armok god of blood? shouldn't he be god of [severed] arms?
