Not much of note happened for awhile. The elves died, like they were supposed to. So did a few goblins when they upset our ranger by killing his dog. He took them all out before the military could even show up. (Don’t mess with a dwarf’s dog.) The humans brought a bunch of useless junk. They were ecstatic to take a bunch of ours in exchange for extra food and drink.
Food and drink production are picking up, but I’m starting to think we need to get rid of a lot of the stockpiles that were setup early on. They are all small and scattered, as opposed to large and central. The military absolutely LOVE the dragon zoo. Can’t keep’em out of there.
With the nobles all finally happy, and the grand dining room finally equipped with full seating, I’m focusing on improving the layout of the clothing industry and keepingthe nobles happy. (I’ve barely had a chance to make any glass, so we’re still doing the open air greenhouse in the top farm for now. Probably for the best, as everyone still seems rather cave adapted.)
Oh, I did get that trading depot entrance lever moved indoors and attached to a bridge instead of floodgates. This one is safely away from the dogs, however. Most of the military is getting the hang of the crossbows, despite the fact I haven’t found the time to setup an expanded archery range. (I had to tear down part of the small one behind the trading depot in order to improve traffic flow.)
It also looks like we’re going to lose a craftsdwarf to a strange mood, as he seems to be demanding silk cloth, of which we have none. I was hoping the human traders (who were sure taking there sweet time to leave) might have had some, but alas.
But, yeah, the nobles have been pretty reasonable so far. Scratch that. Looks like I’d better get the prison shined up, becuase there is no way we’re going to be able to meet Rhenaya’s demand for three adamantine items. Maybe the aluminium chains I put in will be impressive enough to keep the poor scapegoat content.
(I think she’s jealous that I gave Cribozai a tomb behind the dragon zoo, in honor of orchestrating the capture of the fell beastie.)
