All throughout the run of CityIOT, I kept bugging CivO to let us have a colony in the mountains so we could actually get some freaking resources. Well he said no, so now I'm making my OWN colony! With blackjack! And hookers! Therefore I am introducing:

Fortress IOT

You are a dorf. Your king sent you out into the middle of nowhere (seriously he looked up "nowhere" on google maps and sent you out to it) to form a colony with a bunch of other dorfs. Trouble is, you're all manic-depressive alcoholics. On the bright side, you have a beard.

Make a dorf and say what kind of skills you have. I'm not going to keep track of every damn thing so just pick one thing to be really good at and two to be okay at. And yes, swimming is a skill. Migrants will arrive every season based on a combination of RNG and bullcrap. If you convince them you're the coolest dude ever, you get to control their actions.

You have enough food for a year. If you're a miner, soldier, hunter, or lumberjack, you already have your own tools. This is going to be a lot less resource-intense than DF. Basically CityIOT on a smaller scale.

You will elect the Expedition Leader, who will come up with a general plan. At a certain point, he'll become mayor and there will be a yearly election. Unaligned NPCs and PCs who don't send in orders (or if it doesn't go against what they want) will follow the general plan. Like if he says to brew and the brewer only says to throw a party, you all won't die of sobriety. Turns will be a week at first, then a month, and then be like a season (but always ~a RT week if college doesn't get in the way (it will)) after the colony is fully self-sufficient.

Please don't murder other PCs until the colony is self-sufficient.
 
Dorfs:
Mosher Khurpal (Mosher) - Mining/Mason/Organizer
Urist McUrist (Arrow) - Mining/Weaponsmith/Armorsmith
Edir Meydes (Ailed) - Ambusher/Trapper/Crossbowdwarf
Urist McCarpenter (Robert) - Carpenter/Doctor/Brewer
Urist McHannibal (Red) - Doctor/Butcher/Cook
Dval Angzulban (Reus) - Mechanic/Mason/Grower
Danda Farkar (Omega) - Speardwarf/Armor Use/Dodger
Urist McMosher (Mech) - Siege Operator/Swimmer/Animal Trainer
 
Miner/Mason/Organizer
 
AA, aren't you a bit late. Usually your IOTs start on the date of 2 days ago.
 
Say Rob: you should join this game! We need a sword weilding actor to applease the merchents!

One day late and also it's my math teacher's fault.

So I've decided to just roll with it and see what happens.

Okay Arrow and Mosher need to finish with their skills. Urist McJobtitle is a perfectly viable name though so yeah the rest of you are fine.
 
Updated. Call my character Mosher
 
Crap I forgot to add mechanic (which is hella useful and makes probably the best early-game trade good after stone mugs).

On that note, I suggest making stone crafts and mechanisms to trade when the first caravan comes in the fall. Whoever is broker just needs to shoot me a PM.
 
What is the climate? Is it good, neutral or evil? Will I have to feel giant sponges while hunting?
