Suika Fortress - Year 11: Game has come to an end
Hello Purvis:
The anvil is pointless early in. We'll be too busy making trade goods and basic comforts; trade for an anvil later.
You only need one miner; new ones will immigrate in. Replace the second miner with a bookkeeper/trader.
Make the mason also be a stonecrafter and mechanic.
Ramus:
Yeah, but the anvil is expensive, I prefer to just have it on hand and buy alcohol as it comes as it's not nearly as expensive. Though I recommend a second miner as it doubles the speed of early on tunneling, which is quite nice.
Serp:
Ramus's basic setup looks fine to me. I'd also suggest making one of the farmers double up as the fortress's bookkeeper (and that'll be my Suika, name it Serp). Better to use a farmer for that task than a miner, I think. I'd also prefer Site 5. That magma is just too fun to resist.
Hello Purvis:
Speedy early tunneling isn't all that necessary, though. You only have 7 people to put to bed, which a dorm style room does well. After that, shops and barracks.
As long as you get everything inside before the raccoons or elephants come, all's good. Mind you, a second miner is hardly a tradegy. But I like to trade that in for a bookkeeper/trader/manager so we can have good counts, trade effectively, and manage jobs more easily. But I like functionality.
Anvils really aren't that expensive as long as your crafter is doing their work; waste stone makes lovely crafts for buying out a caravan.
Edit: Also I can't get the download to work. It'll tell me it's processing, then link back to the original page. =|
Ramus:
Ah ha ha, Mediafire hates you. I'll upload it to rapidshare and PM you soon.
So taking in the suggestions:
1. Miner/Fisher
2. Trader/Manager
3. Farmer/Book Keeper (Serp)
4. Farmer/Cook
5. Mason/Metal Smither or however you call it again
6. Carpenter as main/Mechanic and Stone crafter as secondary.
7. Axe Crazy/Weapon Smithing (Ramis)
Also, need some input from someone else about the anvil VS beer thing cause I don't think Purjewry and me can really settle it.
And the area with the most votes so far is the lava one apparently.

For anyone that can't get Mediafire working. Only ten downloads though.
