Suika Fortress - Year 11: Game has come to an end
Hello Purvis:
"Well that was easyful," Purvis says, as she surveys the champions' handywork.
"Much shame about lost champion, mason, and fisherist, though..." she adds. The loud twang of a ballista cuts off her next words, followed by a scream. "WILL YOU DRUNKS STOP WITH MAKING THE SIEGINGS FIRE! YOU HIT A BREWER! AAAAUGH!"
"Much sorries!" say the siege engineers as they slink off toward the liquor stockpile.
Purvis turns to head back into the fortress, when she trips over a Kimeemaru. Cursing, she picks herself up off the ground and looks ahead. A deep frown crosses her face as she truly notices the teeming horde of yukkuris getting in everyone's say and slowing the suikas down. "That is of its! BUTCHER THESE YUKKURIS! WE WILL MAKES OFFERINGS OF BLOOD OF THEM TO INVISIBLE HAND! AND MAKE SOME MACES. AND COPPER THINGS. AND MORE MACES!"

Didn't see that coming! I approve of your methods for fixing the problem.
Hello Purvis:
The sounds of the final "Yuyu?" of various Yukkuris echos through the fortress. On one hand, Purvis had ot admit it was giving her some serious nightmares. On the other hand, it is so nice to be able to actually walk through the halls.
"Hi!" says an unfamiliar Suika. "I am being liaisons of motherland!"
Purvis blinks. "Where in hells of blazings in former did you comings from?"
"Outside, like all the other times," says the Liaison.
Purvis nods, waits for a break in the "Yuyu"s, then shouts, "TOTAKU MAKE TRADES ALREADY!"
"AM COOKING~" answers the trader-cum-chef.
"WELL STOP IT AND TRADE!"
"ONCE I FIND MY WAY TO THE BOTTOM THIS SUNSHINE BARREL~" Totaku calls back.
"So, what things you are of wanting?" the liaison says.
Looking toward the ceiling and trying to remember all the requests as she counts them off on her fingers, Purvis "Golds, silvers, brasses, steels-AAAH!" Then she fall down an open stairway.
"Okay!" says the liaison as she dashes off.
Purvis slowly picks herself up off the ground, grumbling about how Totaku is going to commit a murder-suicide over not ordering more bauxite. Then once she is satisfied that she isn't dead, she shouts, "MAKE NEW CATAPULT IN PRACTICE ROOM BY COUNTESS!"
Grumbling and limping a little, Purvis makes her toward the Depot. There, she sees Totaku had a work haggling over some bauxite stones, periodically pulling out a bloodstained and vomit-stained Giant Cave Spider Silk Left Mitten to demonstrate to the merchants. Purvis frowns at the forty or so bins of similar goods, then pulls Totaku aside. "Hey, thinkings you can maybes get Motherland to clear out all that of craps?"
Totaku shrugs, then succumbs to a coughing fit as a rogue breeze from outside brings the smell of the goods to her nose. "Much okays."
"Keepings bins, though," Purvis adds. Totaku grabs her horns. Then glumly nods and goes back to work.
The merchants' joy at getting nearly 150,00 ☼ worth of goods for less than 1/10th that amount of payment quickly dissolves after it takes them nearly 3 weeks to depart; three weeks plagued by the death rattles of yukkuris undergoing the butchering process. Purvis watches them finally depart, nodding at a cleaning job well done. Then she notices something just outside:
OF SPRING GET!
"The hells of blazings in former did winter go?" Purvis says to no one particular.
****
In the winter of 209, NOTHING HAPPENED.
Aside from the siege, not much happened at all. The human caravan never came (likely due to the siege), and a whole lotta Yukkuris got butchered after I got sick of dipping into a framerate in the low teens. We now have shittons of meat, and like 5000 prepared meals. The population is at about ~175 now; we got migrants every season; most of whom I chucked into the military when I found them. The drink is running low, I think we have about 900 of it left. So keep an eye on those barrels.
I have two catapults to train the siege engineers to not suck when it is go time. This will eat up loose stone, though, so if you think we are going to run out, turn them off. I've been making some plate mail to protect the melee fighters; ten suits of it and ten iron helms. The need boots, gauntlets, and greaves to go with them.
Also, I am considering adding a waterfall to the tower. I would have this time, but I was running low on time. And we should make an edifice of green glass.
Sending the save to Serp now.
Serp:
Whew, there is no way I'm going to complete this on time. I've got lots of other stuff to take care of, the file now runs at about 10 FPS on my machine, and worst of all, I'm all out of jokes to use. I hate to drop the player queue down to two people, but I just can't hold up my end of the relay. Count me out.

Mmmm.... I was hoping we could do some awesome mega project of some sort before this happens. I was sort of worried that with more Suikas and yukkuri the framerate would start dropping....
I'm debating on if we should just do a new game yet. I wanted to try to get to 20 years before we did this. *sigh* Well as for now pass the file to Ramus, I will move you off the list till I can decide(or until you can play later).
Ramus, are you certain you must adventure through this go? I know that this is a routine for you to do so, but I was curious if you can run a fort. I don't mind if you can't I just wouldn't be surprised it much has changed since the last go.
Your call though.
In the meantime I still got work to do with the mod.
