The top 11 guys will be in the 'inner sanctum' of the fort, never to see daylight again, doing most of the labour and doing it well. The Ranger I try to keep safe, but he still wins the Most Likely To Die In An Ambush competition. The Trainer and two Miners I try to keep safe, and let them train and teach on their skills to the cannonfodder masses.

I tend to have minimal of or no immigrants, either through limiting population, or starting on a world where dwarves are extinct. So preferably the soldiers should be male to keep the baby death-tole low.

Stoats swarmed around the knight's legs. His journey was almost complete. On the other side of the marsh lay the walled city of Blandork. It was there they held his sister. She was to be married to the sissy Rickbald, third son of the king. The knight gripped the hilt of his sword. He would not let his blood be mixed with that of a Blandork.

"Sir William," said one of the stoats, "we must hurry, lest we miss the wedding."

Once at the gate, William found it barred. A guard approached him and was dispatched with a swift kick to the lower body. The knight shoved the door, but it was locked. He looked through the keyhole to see gaudily dressed men and women rushing about in preparation for the marriage ceremony. William picked up one of the stoats.

"You must find me the key," said William. "Quickly now."

Thanks again, Tarn and Zach
