This leaves us with a very unfortunate question, comrades.

What... if anything... is to be done with this man's cooked provisions and alcohol, his furniture, sitting, wasting, now that he refuses it? I open the floor.

we weren't able to trade anything when the first dwarf caravan arrived because our bookkeeper didn't keep the books good enough and the broker passed out while talking to the traders

How do the ideologies actually work?

Dwarf anprim theory is not the same as human anprim theory, as the dwarfs came from underground tunnels, rather than the filthy surface.

I shall resign myself to wander the caves, gathering plants and wrestling what creatures I can find for sustenance. Natural dwarf state is debated by historians, most contentiously about brewing and mining.

Early evidence points towards both the use of rudimentary mining and brewing, however, and so compromises must be made. alcohol will be allowed but only for gathered plants.

(too bad there isn't a way to model natural fermentation in the game)

You can directly edit dwarves preferences, what they like, what they agree with, etc. Now I don't know what exactly editing in a random topic or preference to a dwarf might result in in the long run but that's part of the fun. Story wise it just makes it funny when a bunch of different flavors of marxism are quarreling with one another.

Yeah, I am, the only unfortunate matter is that our only source of wood is the caves which has a limited supply. Iv found magma though so perhaps we could get a magma forge reactor going......

Don't pump magma up just build the smelters down by the magma. Send the bars up via minecart.

And we have our first death! Taintrunner of the Juche ideology died while fighting a Giant Olm called Uvóthfokásh "Shredhungers". Alas, not much sympathy can be found for her since she came to the fort specifically fight cave monsters. She will be given a state burial with partial honors since Juche isn't very popular. One resident remarked "What's a giant olm?"

Dwarf fortress LP's typically involve a lot of story telling (IE me reporting to you whats happening and asking for suggestions).

This is revisionism, without pumps how else can we pour lava on the counter-revolutionaries?

I told everyone to stop chopping down the trees. I warned them.

I support the Giant Frogs and do not want them to be harmed.
