Ah, okay.

Using [Caste_Tile] seems to result in an invisible creature, instead of it using the specified tile.
Here's an example of a modified goblin caste.

[CASTE:DRONE]
[CASTE_NAME:drone:drones:drone]
[DESCRIPION:Your standard locust drone.]
[CASTE_TILE:"d"]
[MALE]
[POP_RATIO:80]
[NATURAL_SKILL:CROSSBOW:6]
How would I make this work?

23rd of Hematite,

The civilians and I seem to have run into a disagreement. They think it is perfectly acceptable to leave their wounded protectors outside to die. I disagree. We will have to find a solution for this.


7th of Malachite,

It seems the problem has been solved. Training of military continues, as does the building of military facilities.

1st of Granite,

I had hoped today would be easy. However, I arrived at my assigned fortress in the middle of a siege. I was able to quicly slip inside.
The military that is stationed at a bottleneck in the entrance seems to be a little undermanned. I hope this will go down well.


8th of Granite,

After a few days of being under siege, I sent the marksmen outside to take care of the invaders. They made quick work of dispatching all of the goblins. We didn't lose a single man.

Also, after examining the stocks, it seems that we have enough food. Actually, everything seems to be fine.
I'll see if I can improve the state of our militia, though.

Further inspections of nobles and commanders will follow as well. We can't have them be inefficient, of course.

EDIT:
25th of Felsite,

We were ambushed by goblins this week. Twice, actually. We managed to fend them off, but at a great loss. Kilrudkurel, AKA 'Shadowhammer' was the first to engage the goblins. After taking quite a few of them down, he was knocked unconscious and killed.

May I request a turn? I've never played a succession game before, but it sounds fun.

Cool, of course. I'll add you to the list!

It would appear that I have been replaced as overseer. Something about me having a criminal past.
Well, let's see how far we've come.

We've set up housing for the community. As have we set up a few production facilities for food and building materials. The next overseer might be able to start designing the mountain.

The stocks are great. We have food, booze and building materials in excess.

I have spent my last few days as overseer building a tomb for myself and eating luxury food. I hope the next overseer will get me some important position in the future.

We have arrived at the site chosen by our elders today. They have named it Geartouched. We have used most of our supplies on the way here. We have some alchohol left, and spawn of those filthy plump helmets. One of the dogs has also birthed some puppies.

Our task is to build a new mountain here. An actual mountain. Well, let's start by getting some of the fundations in the ground.
