You know what this fortress really needs? A cult. As trader, I'd like to start buying up arms to supply to anyone willing to join the new sect.

Agreed, but only if we continue to oppose Druj

the more time listening to poetry, the less time participating in a gloabl techno-mercantile system of environmental degradation and colonization. so, as an anprim, i say listen to the poems.

I'm sorry but I, Hillary Clintonist, must stop you there. Fact is we need some dirty jobs done, and common respectable Dwarves simply cannot be expected to do them. To this problem, I propose a solution - loosely formalize a class of underpersons with no rights or protections, infinitely vulnerable to the machinations of Dwarf-owned capital, working for pennies on the dollar.

Elves are perfect for this - they are a simple folk with no concept of money, and can be easily terrorized by regional mobs into total submission with no more cost than that of a few saws

That is the final insult. The futurist party calls upon all right-minded and loyal Dwarves to rise up and overthrow the traitorous elf-loving government in a righteous putsch. The days of this rotting, backwards-looking administration must end, and the Dwarven State must look towards the future; vital, nimble, and healthy.

All true Dwarves will heed the clarion call to battle: Drive out the foreign invaders and their sympathizers! Execute the traitors, drive the elves back beyond whence they came! Their silly tree-houses will provide charcoal for our forges, that our smiths can create the war-materiel that will fuel further victory!

The elves use as their currency acorns, and not acorns that they pick, but acorns that they ask politely to fall from their branches. They think it is cruel to pick anything from a tree. And some cowards believe that we could not crush these tree-huggers without the least effort? I tell you all, if we kick in the door the whole structure will come tumbling down.

Here in the desolate tundra, we have no trees to duel our fires or to craft with, while the elf indolently lies about in his treefort, asking the branches to grow into his crafts. We shall have wood and charcoal the likes of which shall fuel our fires and keep our carpenters occupied for years! Rally to the flag, true Dwarves! !Viva la Muerte!

i fully support this acorn currency, provided the free flow of goods results in enough acorns to hold their value at 1/16th that of a silver coin

my plan to fully revitalize this fortress is as follows:

step 1: tremendous influx of 1/16th silver coin acorns

step 2: [still working on this]

step 3: full revitalization of the fortress

I'm not sure about step 2, but perhaps if we kept ledger on something solid and permanent, some sort of large block bounded in as many chains are as necessary for inscriptions, then that will give it the legitimacy and grounding it needs

But surely this will require an ever increasing number of miner dwarf, as more blocks will be needed as our economy grows. Why, at some point we may even run out of stones to mine for the blocks.

iv done the math and from the combination of ideologies we have "rehabilitation through service/labor" seems to be the prevailing theme. This is good though! Elves have very high innate stats to make up for the fact their civs only use wooden armor and weapons, so if you recruit them and give them metal weapons they become really loving OP.
