The better we secure the surface the more of our assets we can reallocate to the war below. It's the difference between being about to move some of our defenses underground and being able to transfer nearly all of them, by virtue of having a twenty four hour a day, all weather superweapon covering for them.
He seens to have also gained a point of diplo, because I remener him having an 18
Agreed, if we're concerned with defenses, getting that up and running in a form that the dwarves can replicate and repurpose will make holding defensive lines a lot easier.
That happened yesterday, with the wolf-rat action and his gaining of the 'Packmaster' trait, actually; he gained Packmaster and Disciple of the pick, and a total of +2 martial and +1 diplo then.
That's exactly what I first thought when I heard they fed the ooze that eats organic stuff to an organic being.
I will say I'm still learning underground, but if we do choose to upgrade the tower I want to either do all we can to make sure night functionality work or see about other upgrades.
That seems more like an human thing personally due to newness and origin.... it's a real shame Slayers don't take up weapon testing often considering some we willing to man the Goblin Hewer.
Well, by that same pragmatism you can see that a great many of the dwarves aren't discarding those values. Those dwarves will hopefully be galvanised and given hope, working off of the blueprint laid down here. Thousands(?) of years ago the dwarves decided to gift humanity the secrets of fire etc., and now like all good dwarf plans after a great deal of time it is paying off. This is an incredible example of how the Karaz Ankor can revitalise itself by leaning on the humans, who can replace their numbers more readily and even have access to useful tricks the dwarves don't usually bother with (magic). Just as the dwarves once lifted humanity out of the dirt, humans can cover for and help up the dwarves who have themselves been knocked down by the Skaven.
We were explicitly told that Pestilens and Mors took their shot and failed. We know they've lost, and have passed this onto Algard.
IIRC difficulty raising children isn't really the problem, it's that Dwarves tend to have children for reasons, planned out: one as an heir, one to run the shop, and so on. The best solution I can think of is to get them in a state of mind that they always need another child, possibly for war. (Which is grim, but they're pretty much there already for the kids they do have.)
Who says the Dwarves aren't? That said the fresh stuff is also needed as fertilizer since greenskin and Skaven materials both have contamination issues and old gong will include them.
So second Duckling club, thoughts: I'm not sure I like the dynamic so far.
