Orbsshocks is a succession fort with a twist. I initially intended this fortress for a video series but my computer refused to work with it^^

There are two Castes one may choose for their turn, either Velvet Glove or Iron Fist.

Velvet Gloves are specialists in Arts while the only Art Iron Fists are interested in is Art of War.

I will not be making any story contributions to this thread, it's all up to you.

Well, almost no story contribution, someone has to outline the Rules for each playstyle@

Velvet Gloves are allowed to:
-Make Crafts, Toys, Instruments and Jewelry for trade and decoration
-Make clothing, armor is unsavoury among the Artists after all
-Build and Utilize Siege Engines and other Machines (Pumps, wind turbines etc.)

Velvet Gloves cannot:
-Produce weapons and armor
-create military furniture and workshops (bowyer workshop, armor stands etc.)
-command military in any way, for averting threats Velvet Gloves need to rely on previously dwarf patrol routes, stations and Siege Equipment
-organise militia, shceduling and equipment cannot be fiddled with by Velvet Gloves

Iron FIsts can:
-Command militia
-Organise Militia
-Build any Military Grade Items and Workshops they wish

Iron Fists are not allowed to:
-Build crafting workshops such as Craftsdwarf Workshop, Looms, Clothemakers Workshops etc
-Make any crafts, toys, jewelry or instruments
-Use siege equipment, it is considered a civilian job afterall

Both castes can do mundane buildings and tasks:
-Managing, bookkeeping, trade etc
-Coking, brewing, butchering and animal training
-Medical Care
-Farming
-Making Bedrooms, Offices, Dining rooms and other rooms usable by both military and civilians

Good Luck^^ Oh and if you get more than one turn you can change you political allegiance, with a good explanation of course^^

Can I throw in a suggestion?

Remember when I said I wanted the Citadel to be like Sen's Fortress? For extra points, in weapon traps inside the Citadel, use only Giant Axe Blades and Crossbows^^

Exodius the Vile, eh? That's a new one^^ Shame you got the characters wrong, my first dwarf is dead, new one is called Blade Weed Pudding^^

No worries^^. Have fun making it, if you still wanna^^

Well, we are almost done, by which i mean we have an indefinite amount of chapters before i get what i want^^, but yeah, more the merrier^^ Besides, it will give you better understanding on the background of the fort^^

This place is supposed to distance itself from mountainhomes, it was one of the mission statements^^ Also, a room-full of gobbos? Did you see how ferocious military is around here? In the main thread one of Flame's boys bit gobbos tongue off during a siege^^. This will be like early dwarfmass to them^^

Can you post your bio? If you are in the main i shall add you asap^^

Apart from me not knowing how to use mechanics.... no there seems to be no problem with system itself. Just the first rule of dorven fysics: Dorfs are stupid^^. Usually the advice is "get everyone inside" but burrows did not work-.-
