Seems neat :3, I'd be a dwarf, but like I kinda suck at DF so I won't take a turn tho o-o.

We need to mod in a nutritive cake that can be made from plump helmet and wood ash.  That way the serfs will have cake to eat.

Looking for a little more clarification.  When you say that you can't send anything from the aristocratic core out to the rabble, what if there is transfer, but no net movement of goods.

For instance:  The core aristocracy find it beneath themselves to actually make things as breathtakingly common as tables and thrones.  So, instead, they send the stone out to the peasantry to have it worked, and then the products are returned to the glorious overseers in full.

Those who are caught stealing any of this stone for their own purposes are, of course, harshly punished.

The mountainhome can be made far more luxurious if we outsource all these little dirty little tasks to those that are more than happy to do them.

A turn and a dwarf, I can't wait to do this!

Tough Luck, Rhaken and Einstein, you get to live in poverty and tantrumming for 1 to 100 years.

Such is life.

How will traders be handled?
I guess they can trade only with the slums, also perhaps only with the nobles.
Many ideas here, as we peasants may decide to attack a caravan, while the nobles would wish to prevent the slaughter, and perhaps war with others.

This may lead to the trade route being controlled by either side, with the other side trying to gain control in a non rule-breaking way.

Njneko and tonnot98, WELCOME TO THE MOUNTAIN

Onud itlud, you time may probably come, but not now. for now you join the bums.


WITH THAT, WE GOT OUR SEVEN FOUNDERS.

every next dorfed citizen will automatically start as people from the slums.


will start playing now.
Unlike Drunk Fortress (which i plan on playing regularly, too), the post will take a little longer to write up, becaus ei have to actually try to play the game and put effort in the post. So expect my whole turn, the save file and some political bureaucracy we need to be handling after every single turn.


LET THE INSANITY BEGIN

For instance:  The core aristocracy find it beneath themselves to actually make things as breathtakingly common as tables and thrones.  So, instead, they send the stone out to the peasantry to have it worked, and then the products are returned to the glorious overseers in full.

let's say supplying the proletariat with goods that may turn into something dangerous (or too luxurious) would naturally be generally frowned upon, and a mountainhome citizen guilty for helping a possible revolt will most likely result in either a death sentence or or a re-slumming sentence.

Really, the gray zones make everythign more interesting. How to handle them is subject to the overseers and/or council. the system is intentionally incomplete and faulty for great !!FUN!! opportunitties.

Count me in as one of the first migrants? 

[MDFification]

How exactly do you intend to defend yourselves without metalworking for a military among the slum dwarves? The aristocracy is obviously too valuable to risk their lives for the peasantry.

wooden bolts and fallen weapons from invaders I suppose?

[Nordinkel]

that's actually the worst part about being a peasant. they get all the war and death.

They will defend theirselves with goblinite.

Also, the fact that there's consequences for using forbidden crafts and workshops needn't neccesarily stop them from doing so anyways.

Fair enough. The Royal Guard shall be the finest gang in the Junk heap then. Maybe they'll support the eventual rebellion against the Yokels, or maybe they're throw their hands in with the Nobles in exchange for preferential treatment and not filling aforementioned nobles with arrows.

As is stands they shall just try and be the best cross Dwarves in town.

[MedicInDisquise]

I'd like to claim a dwarf/migrant. The self proclaimed "Doctor", at your service. Note the quotation marks. I'm most likely not going to be too dedicated for a turn, but I'll do quite a bit of roleplaying and commentary on the fortress as it goes along.

[Tacomagic]

Given that knights used to come from among the ranks of the Aristocracy (indeed it was frowned upon to let the common folk handle anything sharp), I think there is some precedence here.

This might make an argument for tracking the sons and daughters of the bourgeoisie and then induct them as a special kind of Royal Guard.  If the fort holds that long.

Now that you're starting the fort, you may want to update the post to include what version we'll be working with.

[Njneko]

Yay noble like a proud corgi hopping through fields of grain . Can't wait to see how I go insane.
