i had thought about suggesting this, but you beat me to it. I was thinking more like a gamemode for it though. feel like this would probobly be a time lapse, but it would be cool if you could actually watch the dorfs.

Pieces of eight, and silver nobles, along with pennies. I think that just about every piece of history and culture (at least western) knows that a penny is near worthless. Pennies are therefore important. If only for symbolism.

I think aside from the general medieval time period, Toady's goal is that the societies of non-human races should not resemble any historical human societies.
I remember this specifically in the discussion of whether goblins need to eat: some people suggested goblins could be nomadic herders patterned after historical Mongols, and his response was that goblins shouldn't act like Mongols because the game should be able to make human civilizations that look Mongolian. The impression I got was that the simulation should account for the full diversity of historical human societies, with non-human civilizations looking like something else entirely.
would be cool if they were possible.

My biggest other question is, how big are these near-constant wars being fought by your couple hundred soldiers? Followed closely by how 200 fisherfolks, feeding four each, can feed 2,100 people.
Oh, and kudos on remembering the housekeepers.
i will edit
on the subject of wars, they have not fought wars in a while. not since they lost land on the mainland, (making this up as i go, yes) just wanted to be hated by the others.

revised Census of Phluminton:
2 720 total population Divided Among:
830 Men
1040 Women (whered they come from?)
860 Children
MEN:
knights? what are those?
200 men at arms (about 10 ships, 25 crossbowmen and 25 pikemen) (the remaining 150 are in the navy, 5 solders on each ship and a crew of 10, and one ton of food and gear)
150 miners, (50 tin) (50 copper) (30 Iron) (20 quary stone)
300 fishermen
50 farmers
40 wood cutters
10 charcoal makers
20 metalworkers
20 craftsmen (weavers and bone/shell crafters)
15 nobles (admin)
10 merchants
5 priests (their religion is not important at the moment)
5 carpenders
5 masons
Women:
480 housekeepers
200 farmerswives
250 fisherwives
50 weavers/ clothers
30 nobility
30 craftswomen (with shells, bone, cloth and the like)
Children
860 unemployed, though will sometimes collect shells and the like for the elderly craftswomen in retern for stories.(not that this effects anything)
in short
860 children
800 food gathers/producers
480 housekeepers
200 men at arms
150 miners
130 craftspeople
60 other
40 lumberjacks
thats a little less than 1/3 food production
i looked around the net for a little while, hoping to find some number a single person can sustain and found that in the US there were about 8 million farms sustaining 123,202,624 people in 1930
hope me using the ones and tens places didnt open a can of worms
[EDIT] was unstustainable

i'm in too, but may sometimes take a while to post.
Title: the Grey Lord
Family name: Phlum
Feif name/description: Phluminton
Phlumiton is a group of smallish Islands about a 2 day's sail (we are sailing right?) northwest of the mainland. these are very misty islands sparce of trees and with very rocky (infertile) terrain, there are abundent sources of copper and tin, as well as somewhat rarer iron. the seas around them are full of fish, whales are sometimes sighted off the cost. hope these island fifes arnt getting too common.
Background: since the dawn of time the people of the grey have been shipbuilders. makeing up for the rarity of wood by doubuling it's effectiveness. since they have had do this, there is a sort of pride in doing everything as perfectly as possible. for that, these people are quick to protect their pride. this may be the cause to many fudes with other houses, they have a very long history of war. this ended with the loss of land on the mainland. now without a castle or a large population, these peoples are hard pressed to be much of a threat.
[Edit] location change, cant have an island on a mainland, as well as history addition.)

I agree, savage areas should have faster plant growth.
Venus dwarf traps.
Or perhaps throw the elves a bone and make some trees kill dwarves if it's any differant.

When home brewing I normally leave magic to be the last thing I worry about, if at all.
Anyway this is awesome, I only wish I had been more active on the forums and had seen this when it started. No way to get in the game now right? Or should I just sit back and watch?
