The World Of Bones - Succession World - The Grand Plan Fails
With a year under their belts the dwarfs were feeling good about their chances of fulfilling their Grand Plan. Which was to make a settlement that would welcome all creatures, all races, all people.
If they could only attract them.
Also, to do so, they needed bedrooms. And therefore they needed wood. Lots of woods. Which meant they needed trade. Lots of trade.
Luckily they had found some gems which they could trade with…well, just about everybody.
Not a LOT of gems. But they would likely be useful when it came to trading.
The dwarfs were so busy that at one point Whick was found sleeping in of the hallways. The Expedition Leader had become so tired it had just went to sleep on the red floor.
A Barracks was dug out, with a archery range, for it was believed that the dwarfs would need to be organized into tiny squads. Three two-dwarf squads. The Leader was Commander but not part of a squad. This meant only three dwarfs were in training at any one time - one dwarf from each squad per month. But as it was the same six training, over again and over again, they SHOULD develop some skills by the end of the second year. This left four dwarfs per month to work.
It would slow down things but the dwarfs would, hopeful, become good at combat.
When early spring came some of the dwarfs decided to try their beards at fishing. As their beards were covered in food crumbs and spilled drink it was very attractive to hungry fish. So all they had to do was dip the beards into the waters. At least those who had proper beards. A fishery was made and a leather workshop also. Armor would have to be made sooner or latter. So why not leather armor?
A pen was made for the pigs. The single pen was becoming crowded. Also the chickens were escaping some how from their pen. Somebody must have been opening the door too many times.

Arthur’s Note :
Then things went downhill from there as the save file was somehow not working.
It seemed to be an error someplace on the disk. So it might NOT be the save file. OR it might be.
So I am skipping the rest of my turn and passing on the crown to Donnerino. Mostly because I have also spent three days trying to get it to work and don't wish to hold things up.
So Donnerino you have two choices.
ONE, you can take the save I have, retire my Fortress and start your own. This way my seven dwarfs, named after the seven dwarfs from Snow White the Broadway version as in the book the dwarfs were never named, can continue on their own. And at least the statues survive!
Here it is -
https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=16211Warning, the save file is getting big.
OR you go to the version last used by Salmeuk and my last turn is erased from the history of the World of Bones. Which, if it is the save file I have that is the issue, that may be for the best. I feel sorry for Bob but when you mod a game and pass the save file around stuff happens.
Oh, and save every once and a while and copy the files. It may help. I really should do that more. Or have the autosave set for seasonal.
PS - With Christmas coming I assume things will slow down. So if it takes more than two weeks for your turn I am sure nobody will mind. Family comes first. And gifts. And eggnog.
