And give Armok's priest what he needs. Without Armok, where would the dwarves be?

Once we've settled in, I've got some great pump ideas once the large fountain is made. What do you guys think about water pouring through the middle of the dining room through some grates? Though, we'll need a draining method... Pouring it back into the river is a possibility.

PRIORITY LIST:
1. Food - Farms, stills, kitchens, seeds
2. Basic housing - Small rooms, at least for now
3. Defense - Stonefall traps around the main exit, perhaps with walls built to make it a one-way path in and out. Maybe we should fence in a bit of land by our  entrance to use as aboveground farming?
4. The Temple - Armok is awesome / Metal Production - We need to get our forges built so we can start producing nice things
5. Nobility Housing - Duh

So for the jobs, we could set about 1/2 to farm and to do odd jobs while they're waiting for plants to grow. The other half would be craftsmen, working on beds, doors, and cabinets for now. And maybe walls and traps.
Once we have food and are safe, we'll start the grand temple to Armok and make the noble's quarters.

What do you guys think of a gigantic 3D labyrinth to hold the legendary treasures once we make 'em?
I was thinkin' chained megabeasts and all.

RIGHT!

When Keskal died, I'm sure many of you felt regret, grief, and sadness that a dwarf had been lost to the wilderness. I'm sure we can all agree that he will be missed. I do not intend to fully replace him, but I see that we can build off of his ideas and create a bright future, thanks to his wonderful sacrifices.

Keskal held many positions in our fortress, and only now do we realize just how vital he was. As your new mayor, I will announce the changes.

Normally, a mayor would hold the first three positions, but I think that each noble wishes they too could hold power.

Besides, they already have offices and whatnot.

The sheriff, on the other hand, needs to be someone skilled in military, has past military training, or is interested in battle. He must also have a sense of justice.

I shall be the bookkeeper, since I have to move around fairly often for my mayorial duties anyway.

Now, the next two positions are NOT from favoritism. I've studied how you've preformed in the past and am assigning the manager and broker positions based on skill:

Manager: Wulfgar, for his excellent interpersonal skills
Broker: Zon, for his ability to correctly judge the price of things

On a side note, as my first mayor move, your demands and mandates will be met in the order of how much work you do. This is a simplified version of an economy, where being useful gets you what you want. Mind you, you useless folk will get your things... Eventually.

Now, for the Captain of the Guard.

The most obvious and perfect choice for the job, I'd say, is Roy. He has shown excellence with his hammer and can make any criminal see the light.

Go now and help us make Rocksquid the center of culture, thought, and production.

(tl;dr Wulfgar is manager, Zon is broker, Roy is Captain of the Guard.)

Hey, Flok's going to be doing all the hard work.

A dome just happens to be a pretty neat idea that I was thinking of myself before I joined the topic, except I'm too busy to make it myself.

Anyway, I have a room suggestion for a different noble, since I've already got a room to my tastes planned:

code:

 Where O = wall, x = ground, W = waterfall, - = window
OOOO
OOOO
WWWW
OXXO
O--O
WWWW
