C3, Republico (clan)

I'm so smart I thought we were supposed to vote for two idea groups in each category. :downs:

Sounds like a reason to snake some eye-bleeding conquest to a coast and build some solid dwarven ships.

How about some properly dwarven music to celebrate? :toot:

Colm McGuiness cover of Misty Mountains, sung in Tolkien dwarfish with a voice as deep as the roots of the mountain:

And because it's impossible to mention dwarves and music without it (lyrics are in the bloody thread title!) and despite that you've probably heard them already, the Diggy Diggy Hole song:

And of course the amazing metal cover by Wind Rose:

Expansion begins into the Cobalt Caverns

While expansion along the Argrod was the top priority, there were also countless caverns throughout the western end of the Reach that needed to be secured. The orcs that had fled still dwelled within them, and there were many ancient mine workings and outlying settlements to be reclaimed and restored to start supplying the hold with the resources of the mountains. A second colonial enterprise was sponsored by the cartel to begin resettling these caves.

Turns out Expansion would have been a pointless pick, as here is a colonist at a discount through the adventurer mission tree (300 adm for this vs 400 for the Expansion opener). Our economy is ramping up nicely thanks to deving up the hold and getting bonus dev on our settlements, so maintaining two colonies is no problem.

Am I reading it wrong or is that 300 admin for a colonist that only sticks around for 50 years? The expansion one is 400 admin for almost as many years. Much better deal but it does consume an entire idea group, even if it does have other benefits.

Mountains!

Going to the beach is very undwarven. No, stop enjoying it!

If you consider the whole revenge mission to be to end the fighting and struggles in the mountains then tolerance and acceptance would definitely count as securing their home.

As I was reading the update I thought those two provinces to grab a port looked very juicy. :toot:

Offense seems like a great idea.

Can orcs or goblins trigger this event too? If the regular dwarves don't manage to retake anything these obsidian dwarves show up and liberate the holds for dwarfkind?

Dwarf related news! An hour ago there was a brand new cover of Diggy Diggy Hole released, this time by Colm McGuiness:

B, D

First we dug deep for wealth and everyone got hoard crazy. Then we dug deep for wealth and poked a forgotten civilization of deep down dwarves who invaded. I'm so glad that's all dealt and done with now. Let's keep digging deep now when it's safe!

Are you telling me that freaking dwarves can't dig a dead snake back up? With all that technology and magic? :mad:

Look, it's "Diggy diggy hole," not "Diggy diggy grave".

We do not fear what lies beneath. We can never dig too deep. :colbert:

That was a kinda disappointing end to the snake plague. And it doesn't even leave the mountains? Since it made the blood rot, what would it have done to slurping vampires? :v:

Map is starting to look pretty good. :toot:

Hmmm. Given that glass series of events, are the dwarves going to invest socialism? And why are the rebels separatists, that doesn't really make sense according to the text? Surely they should be particularists?

1, E This is surely a brilliant idea.

At this point it looks like the empires get way too big and definitely have WAY too many troops. Wars must be so tedious to slog through.

Yeah but even more so than in regular old EU4. Getting a powerful vassal swarm to help out is so nice.

Yessss! Let's dig up that big snake which, probably, unleashed a horrible plague. What are the odds it will cause something bad to happen the second time as well?

# ¿ May 4, 2023 19:09

Completely slaughtered almost a hundred thousand soldiers with not a single survivor and it's not even worth three war score. Yup, it's EU4 alright.

B, 1 maybe?

So they discovered shroomantibiotics? Neat. But why isn't anyone praising the snake for this? It provided a very critical element to the achievement.

In other exciting dwarf related music news. As I'm sure everyone has always wondered, what does a metal version of Misty Mountains (from The Hobbit) sung in Dwarvish sound like?

I've been really enjoying this LP so thank you for all the work you're putting into it.

Oh, I hope for harpies next run but my guess is that it's going to be across the ocean. Or I'm completely wrong. Either way it'll be interesting.
