I WON'T.
I HOPED THIS WAS AN UPDATE.

Well, hello guys. I believe I mentioned the Duchy of blahblahblah was mostly pastoral. Looks like I win.

Goody.

I hope I am not too late!

"Duchy of Chedel"
Noble House von Chedel
Leader: Duke Heinrich von Chedel
Territory: Castle Chedel, City of Zernburg

The city of Zernburg, is a large city with its population of "a lot"* and is surrounded by a large square wall and a lot of land, perfect for agriculture and horse breeding.
(Castle Chedel is in the middle of the city)

But it is not only a city of trade in the middle of the kingdom, it is also rather well defended by its two* legions of "Red-Shield Legionnaires" and the Chedel Heavy Cavalry, well trained knights in heavy armor.

Heinrich von Chedel is a man in his early twenties, he assumed power in the duchy after his fathers death in an hunting accident.

* Numbers are to be changed according to the general balance.   

Nah, you're fine.

A note about food: A single farmer can only produce enough food to feed about four or five others without some sort of intensified agriculture, which requires labor, or else importing food. Yields for fishing in large, well-stocked waters are similar, hunting and gathering are notably lower--maybe two or three people per hunter/gatherer--and while pastoralism only makes three or four persons' worth of food, it also makes other stuff. These are guidelines that I will expand into rules if I must. In short, make sure you have enough farmers. I chatted with mesor about the professional demographics of his fief, and if this conflicts with that use this.
If you have some questions or corrections, please post them! I'm mostly making these numbers up. Oh, and remember that children usually don't work and that women tend to do housework. A farmer will feed his family first without sending any food to the army or nobility if he isn't forced to give up his meager crop to them, which provokes revolts...In short, be realistic. Once we have enough fiefs (I'll probably cut it off at eight or nine, ten definitely) I'll start making an official map and asking for numbers of farmers and stuff.

...Not sure if I made this clear, should I draw up rules for this kind of thing?

Birds

Noticing the dwarf coming towards him Lucius draws he's bow and fires an arrow into the dwarf's leg.

"Back up little man or this isnt going to end well for you

Darwuf, being ignored by Armok so many times, will saddle up to Lucius, and buy them both a pint, and talk. Remind the Cosmos that he deserves a reward for very dwarf-like behavior.

That's it. Darwuf is becoming a peace-loving hippy.

[3] Darwuf heads up, but before he can buy a pint [6-1] an arrow buries itself in his leg. Ouch.

Darwuf's left leg is at 8 HP, and 78% blood, with 11% blood loss next turn.

Bank
Tomcat enters the bank stealthily, with Seer covering for him by knocking most of the people in the bank down. The exosuit gets up first, activates some sort of smoke bomb, and a shadow in the shape of the exosuit can be seen by Tomcat as it hurries to the secure storage.

What will everyone do?

Nah, the thread is already dead. I created it out of nostalgia and was just trying to relive past glory by recreating something that was created spontaneously by the random postings of multiple forumgoers. I was not up to the task. Hopefully you'll do a better job than me.

Wow, pressure. Okay.

Blind dwarves are less dumb than sighted ones.

No, no we should say about wounded it's easy to check.

Well now, I'm assuming Mr. PHD and me can find some kind of way to make someone look injured.  I can also think of some people it might be a good idea to whack in the face. 

You do that, Private...I'll get to work on faking some burn injuries. Anyone have some sulfuric ivy leaves handy?
