Old thread. hopefully, someone remembered to archiv it.

Now for fluff bonuses. for strong stuff, it is ONLY unlocked for free unless your fluff is that great.

For weaker stuff, you will also get a FREE sample.

Fluffed up characters can easily be made official so long as they aren't too powerful unless they got a great backstory(in which case they'll be considered a Heroic unit candidate or even an ACTUAL heroic unit).

Faction or world related fluff so long it fits the setting will also be allowed. In which case I'll probably have to come up with a special kind of reward since it won't be generalist/basic enough to list here.

>>2418874
>>2387357
Ah damn I forgot to fully update the pop list for undead and the creatures list.

Which will include 1 baby Catharc Worm, Glutton Beatles, more terry tarcats(mostly because they bred by now but I would still advise buying more of them to prevent inbreeding), Sorfthlangs with the method of their creation, and the Kabal of the Deathly Beast. I was initially expecting the description of a beastmaster or some such creature. Not about a faction. I was expecting some kind of lava specialized beastmaster.

Yet that anon did come upon some things about the undead beastmasters. I wasn't expecting that nor their beasts loyal beyond death itself. Some stuff I barely even hinted at so well done anon for figuring some of that stuff out. I'll have to think about what the reward is going to be. It's not something clean cut as a new type of minion.

>>2419302
It doesn't have to be the whole layer for them, but we need room away from the surface for testing. That's a lot of goblins blowing things up. So a Goblin black-site would probably do us good.

Dungeon Core, can we make Outpost connected to here or at least get the benefits of Speedy building?

Rolled 91 (1d100)

>>2419302

Let's see, ideas for a new layer...

>Food Low
>Water Very Low
>Medicine Low
>Health Low

Something that could fix all that might be nice...

>Forest Layer
Could be phrased to provide us with plenty of space to grow stuff, and access to water. Perhaps a Wintry Forest, so that anything invading from the outside that gets down to here gets fucked up from the climate mismatch. Also if it auto-produces snow then we've got a steady water supply just like that. Downside would be growing stuff in a wintry layer, but with our supply of Firestone greenhouses shouldn't be hard.

>Canyon Layer
It would mean having a river somewhere or another, and it should be pretty darn defensible and easy to hide stuff in such a layer as well. Loses out on farmspace though.

>Fungal Insect Layer
Automatic expansion, plenty of food and medicinal products should be included, fucks enemies over. The Love Dungeon did this and did it well. Could also be phrased to include a water source most likely. Probably would have to be manually expanded to accommodate large facilities, but that should be doable.

>Verdant Underground Growth Chamber Layer
You occasionally discover these tucked away in corners of the underground, often strongly warded against everyone who's still alive. Common suspicion would dictate that they are the leftover shelters of some ancient race that no longer inhabits the world, but if you do manage to get past the external wards and traps you typically find ludicrously lush caverns filled to the brim with all manner of living things. A completely self-contained self-sustaining Eden with resources aplenty to spare, and areas obviously intentionally left open for any manner of construction. It seems that whatever magic keeps these places going also makes it so practically anything introduced here thrives as well.

>>2419357
Whatever layer we get we can shove them into and have plenty of room to spare, but we've got a full on horde now so it'd be nice to get some input on what they like in a place.

Rolled 32 (1d100)

>>2419087
The Kabal wasn’t meant to be a full faction, though as I look on it now yeah it really does sound like faction fluff. I imagined them as just being a flavored beastmaster version with the following predilections (because that fluff only describes their founding, and the organization has outlasted the kingdom it was founded in and developed since then):

-All recruits trained on volcanic/lava beasts (due to HQ location)
-Excellent beastmaster-as-saboteur and solo operation skills
-Members all trained in darker beastmaster magicks, including necromancy/Undeath for beasts that are loyal even after dying.
-Higher members are undead, including some ancients (however not ALL members are undead anymore, because the Varakian Crisis was a long time ago)

Tried to leave quite a bit of non-founding history free for you to play with though.

Rolled 79 (1d100)

>>2418941
So here are some short/midterm ideas in order of priority I think.

>Improve water generation.
Gotta solve water first, every time. We’ve got our ring, make more and improve them. Might take some research, we might also want to hire a dedicated farm engineer guy...perhaps a Dark Halfling Farm Engineer.

>Expand all farms to Large or Very Large
First expand them. Then once they’re large enough we should expand a bit more, but more importantly reorganize each farm to have ‘wings’. Once we have separated wings, we upgrade the whole shebang with appropriate elemental rare materials and such. Then we start to get speciated plants/animals/etc. for free, and it should improve quality of life in general due to varieties of food sources. Again a Farm Engineer would be handy here. Dwarves ought to have expertise in this area right?

Same concept applies for the Beast Den too, but it’s lower priority. We line a wing with Mutonium and we should start shitting out SCARY beasts quick.

Also yay, we got a Hydra from our mystery egg!

>>2419411
I think an ice or winter layer would be great just to have a cold place and source of ice. The elementals would hate it, but anyone who's not fire-aspected would love it.

I guess what I'm thinking of is more fringe benefits, but they'd be awesome ones. Ice for drinks, ice for storing perishables, plus just imagine how good it would feel to just enter or leave after a while. Also ice=water, which is a more serious benefit/concern.

Just my thoughts, probably not actually the best choice for second layer.

Rolled 70 (1d100)

>>2419724
The fire and lava elementals don’t have to hang out in the ice layer, so that’s not a problem. What kind of ice layer are we thinking?

>Winter/Alpine Forest
>Glacier
>Mountain Summit
>Frozen Hell
>Ice Kingdom
The list goes on. It’d probably be worth fluffing something up to get the things we want.

Also we’re technically on Layer 0 right now. So when we buy one that’ll be Layer 1 and slot in under(ish?) us

>>2419747
my vote for Alpine Forest also while were still at the Necropolis I'd like us too look for useful undead. Hoping for a Sorfthlang.

>>2419240
Eh to be fair your character went on a LONG trip.

Though it would help if you actually left some more competent minions in charge.

>>2419302
According to them, someplace more comfortable would be nice. With the smart ones saying it would be best if it was more comfortable but also more dangerous. So that way they would have something to pass the time with, also population control.

Evilgineer states the dungeon resources is stretched thin and more plants should be grown. Geothermal ones preferably. The only thing that isn't running out is the stuff that's being mined. Evilgineer suggests coming up with a use for said stuff. As for the first layer purchasing. Preferably a layer that isn't rich in mining since you already have that covered with the original layer. As for a list of priorities besides the obvious low stats. He also brings up the need for more living space, morale boosters, and more places for minions to spend their pay.

Elementals are expanding the magma floodplain some more and built a lava waterfall for it.

You meanwhile personally decide to look into the problem of water with the aid of the few magical minions that are present. Which shockingly included an Ogre Mage. The kobold mages suggesting dowsing for water and digging wells from whatever sources you find. They explain all you need to do is find some underwater rivers or aquifers. The goblin magi agree to help carve the necessary glyphs and magic formations for water generation. Upgrading them isn't a problem so long as your willing to consume a bit of magical and elemental materials to enhance the effects. The orc shamans and dark priests made a good point. They suggested that construct a proper facility for handling water. The Ogre Mage asks why we haven't bothered to summon some water elementals.

Attempts to scry the dark flame spirit reveals it currently for some reason deep under the magma sea and carefully making its way back. However, most of the elementals that went with it appear to be gone. Those who remained are...different.

>>2419238
With some mind trickery. Thanks to being undead their Scry is enhanced with Death Sight. Makes it difficult for living beings to hide from its gaze.

>>2419357
Connection to the lair requires a Core Fragment. A dungeon core can only produce a few fragments on its own. A dead core, however, can be fractured into many pieces or if Core Connects to another Core. Well, that also works Overlord.

Good luck finding another Core. Cores are extremely valuable things even to those who aren't Overlords. Of course the bigger the Core(dungeon) then the more it can spare fragments.

>>2419579
Yeah but it makes it tricky to come up with a proper reward. Just giving you a beastmaster doesn't quite cut it(since a minion fluff isn't the same as faction fluff).

I'll come up with something though. Eventually.

Sell as much of our wealth/materials as necessary to expand our farms to the appropriate sizes to handle our new population. Purchase new plants and fungi for food and medicine and water collection. Elementals assist in the expansion. Fucking magic plants, magic mushrooms, ghostly Chile peppers, herbs and spices, mainstays, bananas, star fruit, if it’s edible we fucking want it. See if we can’t get discounts for package deals. See if it wouldn’t make the farms more fertile to seed them with exotic earthy materials and exotic magic crystals as well, Possibly integrated into fertilizer in the loam or stuffing the walls of the planters as is appropriate. Evilgineer is in charge of this.

Half the Goblins head into the mushroom forest and grab anything and everything that looks useful.

The other horde forces go out and find food, as well as the elementals. Hunting or raiding both are acceptable.

Sell some more of our shit to summon some water elementals, then burn whatever resources are appropriate with them assisting to upgrade our water circle.

Kobolds are responsible, with the Grey Dwarves, to find and tap into an underground river or underground aquifer.

We should personally assist in the water magic and overseeing the farm upgrades.

If necessary to prevent from dishing out Dungeon Core slop sell off more materials and buy food. Preferably seeded food and save the seeds for the farms.

Ah, right. It was definitely part of the voted action, but I didn't see it mentioned by Genie.

Can we recearch ways to fix or reduce the flaws of goblins and orcs?
we are a magi and not a warlord so we should improve upon flawed troops. Goblins and orcs are lacking so we should recearch impovements for them, even if it ends up just being mass produced magical items that boosts wisdom for goblins and intelligence for orcs.

Rolled 48 (1d100)

We can buy upgrades for minions, and we can buy upgrades for our Oath of the Overlord (though hopefully this double-crit upgrades that somewhat on its own).

A Horde Overseer ought to take care of their tendency towards idiocy when left alone though. We do definitely need to set up industrial production of Orichalcum and Orichalcum components though.

>>2420271
How about a fantasy version of the Bikini Atoll, post-nuclear-tests that was much nastier in the first place anyway? And frozen, because fuck it why not? I'll try to write some fluff up for that at some point.

I think the Evilgineer suggested geothermal plants for our original layer though, not in general.

>>2421296
I think the best way to reduce their flaws is with good management. By which I mean getting good managers for them, since we can't personally babysit them 24/7.

As for actually improving their mental faculties, maybe we could engineer some sort of wide-area, static and persistent effect to boost them?

So I think that once we get our situation steady and get a 2nd layer we should think on our 3rd layer carefully.

Particularly it occurs to me that we have a frankly massive stream of wealth coming in from our magma mining, we're pretty much undisturbed due to our location, and once we're stable everything ought to be fairly quiet honestly (and hopefully constantly improving, if we do things right). That got me thinking...it ought to be really easy to recruit unethical researcher types.

Goblins and elementals have been ordered to expand and upgrade the farms. Magical materials were taken out of storage to be used. The farms were massively expanded at first, upgrades were built into them at the same time, and finally the farms began to run out of space. So they built additional floors for the farms, and when that started to run out of space because the farms were running into each other. The goblins had a terribly clever idea and went to the Evilgineer who told thought it interesting. So some of the goblins went to the mystical library to research some things while the Evilgineer went to the Dungeon Core to ask about some things.

Sometime later the farms began to be overlapped with each other. Worm and fungal farms worked together to create usable compost. Plants were grown from the leftovers and those plants remains were either composted or fed to animals. Animal waste was collected to be used for compost and some of the animals even allowed into the plant farms to help manage pests. Insects worked to help create compost, help the other farms, or feed animals. Then there was an aquatic farm that was built. Whose fertilized water make for excellent watering and there were aquatic creatures/plants to be harvested/farmed.

Meanwhile, the Overlord ordered the minions to go out there and hunt shit down. Shortly after they equipped themselves and headed out.

"Bah there ain't shit to kill nearby," complains an orc as they march around.

"Yeah ever since that lava flood there hasn't been much. Guess that means we gotta go even farther to find something," suggests another orc.

"Ugh such a long journey and we have fuck all for supplies," grumbles another orc.

"Hey if we have to travel so far why don't we just hang out there and enjoy ourselves for a while. After all, if we bother to go so far we might as well enjoy ourselves properly," mentions a clever goblin.

"Hm yeah and if we have to go so far...why not go even farther? Since we iz gonna be gone for so long and travel so far anyway. What difference would it make," agrees an orc.

Horde forces have traveled out of range...

Kobolds and Dwarves dowsed for some water sources. After that and knowing which direction to go they set out. Thanks to the magma sea, they had to travel quite far indeed before they could find a spot with liquid water. When they finally got far enough away they found streams, entire underground rivers, and lakes. Including one that appeared to be massive beyond imagining. After mapping them out a bit and discussing among themselves. An ingenious solution was devised. They found old lava channels to explore and map out. Proceeding to then dam and mine them out.

After confirming the routes of the lava channels that some of them led close to the dungeon itself. They began to mine out two new passages. One to the dungeon and the other from the sources of the waters to the old lava channels. Flooding them. After confirming it worked they went back to work double check their mistake now that there was water flowing through it properly. They then began to work anew before heading back.

At the dungeon summoning room the water elemental summoning circle was in use and water elementals came pouring out as instructed. With a large amount of water elemental tribute nearby to serve as bait. The magi however were not happy.

"Bah the Overlord has been asking about the Artesian elementals for awhile now and we STILL can't summon one," grumbles a mage.

"I think its due to the elemental circle. Clearly, it's not good enough to handle more powerful and special beings like that," suggests another mage.

"Nah it can't be the summoning circle is working just fine," shoots down a different mage. "Clearly the problem is with the tributes. We don't have enough to attract the good stuff."

"Fools! Its because the Artesian Elementals have high standards! We clearly haven't offered bribes of high enough quality. That is why we can't get any," complains a grouchy mage.

""Hm how about we split up. Some of us head to the library to doublecheck the circle. The rest of us handle the tribute," suggests a mage and the others agree to go along with it.

Mages ran back and forth. Carrying more bribes or research materials to compare to the summoning circle. After awhile modifications were made to the circle and the tribute pile.

"Finally, I think we got this summoning circle figured out," wheezes a tired mage clutching magic texts. "We even double checked it using the other summoning circles."

"We had to really break...into...the bank...for this," gasps an exhausted mage laying on the floor. "If only...we still...had a damned ogre...to do the heavy lifting."

Soon the summoning circle began to hum and glow with life. A heavy mist soon formed and then drops of rain fell. Shortly after the raindrops turned into a stream and finally a flood.

"Uh, guys I think we fucked u-." Right before the mage could finish the room started to shaking badly. The air itself went still before tearing.

"OH FUCK WE GOT A REALITY TEAR SHIT SHIT STOP IT STOP IT NOW!" Yells a goblin mage as he casts a spell to break the formation.

"NO! DON'T ITS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN HELP STABILIZE THE ANOMALY." Yells another mage as he dives into some cover.

"WE CAN'T SOMETHING TOO STRONG IS TRYING TO ARRIVE AND THE CIRCLE IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE IT! THAT'S WHY REALITY IS TEARING ITSELF APART." Shouts another mage. "WE NEED TO BANISH IT BEFORE IT CAN PROPERLY ARRIVE OTHERWISE WE GET SUCKED INTO THE HOLE IN REALITY!"

"FUCK WE'RE TOO LATE," Screams a mage running away.

"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES IT'S COMING THROUGH," roars another mage scrambling away for his life.

The summoning circle itself began to crackle and warp underneath the strain. Water poured continuously out. Flowing into the cracks in reality and vanishing. The entire area trembled and buckled underneath the strain. With the mages doing their best to run far away.

All except one. Who stood there against the flood and began to cast a spell. That chained the tears piercing through them and helping slow down their expansion. While also casting another spell at the summoning circle. A barrier formed around it as 'something' a deep dark shadow appeared within the flooding water and it was clearly getting closer. The water itself suddenly began to freeze as it got closer and closer. The freezing presence just grew and grew. Encasing the summoning circle in its icy clutches and the entire room froze as well. Even the water pouring into the reality tears froze and strangely choked the dimensional tears. That were somehow unable to break this strange ice...

The sole mage still standing solemnly stared at the being who was about to arrive with a glum look on his face. As the room, he was in...suddenly froze in time and space. Even as the frost grew on his body and attempted to freeze him solid. He did not stop casting the next spell.

Ah to think there was a little worm foolish enough to stand in my way," booms out a disturbing slippery wet voice. "Tell me little worm how would you like to die?"

"I'm afraid you have me mistaken," shrugs the mage. "You can't use your full power here. After all, you gotta reinforce the passage to keep it from breaking on you while your inside and even if you make it across. Thanks to how unstable this space is you can't risk using your true power without it completely shattering. Even without that, you still have to deal with the restrictions of different reality Outsider."

"If you were smart you would go back. I would normally expect this kind of behavior among demons but apparently, even elementals have gigantic assholes like you huh? Fucking figures.

You are the Overlord with the dungeon surprisingly empty after you came up with an excuse to kick out the Horde for awhile. The dungeon was surprisingly empty except for the undead and elementals. Giving you time to make sure everyone has sworn their oaths. Including Horde after making them create a list of members that you personally went over before they left. Now you've been busy checking the undead and swearing in the elementals. Things were going great as soon as you finished up with the oath swearing you still gotta oversee the farm expansions and maybe look into someplace to buy a bunch of upgrades. You got enough materials even if you have to use the dungeon store to sell them.

Just as you went over to check on the farms and sometime later an alarm went out over the dungeon. Right, when you were cursing your bad luck it abruptly got so much worse when the next alarm rang out shortly after. Sadly you were far away from the summoning circles due to being on the farms. It will take you some time to arrive. At least you have the scry to see what was going on...only to find it being 'blocked' by something. Almost as if it were being frozen...making it quite difficult to see what was really going on. As it fogged up, slowed, and froze constantly.

Back in the summoning room, a battle was being waged between an outsider and single mage. Water blasted forth, steam exploded, and ice flew all coming from an outsider. While the other was the sole remaining single mage who cast spells of flames, earth, and lightning. The fighting seemed rather even but the freezing constantly grew outward and the mage was being pressed hard. Forced to retreat backward slowly.

Hm...this aura this taste. I smell something strange," says the outsider looking at an empty space from which the scry was being seen from. "Ah, now pitiful. Magi just watching as one of their own fights a futile battle and do nothing. Yet...there is something else. This place...this ah I see now. Lava Lords and a place of great fire with no water. Bah, my luck is terrible not even a volcanic island. I thought this a good place rich and foolish. I've been tricked."

"I'VE BEEN TRICKED AND YOU ALL SHALL PAY!" Roars the now enraged outsider.

I do not offer you an easy, vulnerable target. I offer you the chance to fight and struggle against foes who think themselves every bit your equal, the chance to win against them and see powerful enemies fall before your own strength. If this appeals to you then all you need do is join me."

>>2426806
You think you got fluff? Huh fluff anon? I got fluff for you.

>sugar scorpion: the sugar scorpion is native to arid desert regions, fairly potent venom as far as non magical venom is concerned but it’s most unique feature is found along its back and spine, it secretes sugar through its sweat glands, this adaptation allows it to hide in the sand and ambush its prey, civilized races consider it not much more than a nucence other than dwarves who use it to make medical ales and spirits, young dwarf men in some societies use it as a right of passage, dwarf medics claim the venom gives the booze purification and cleansing properties, but goblins and orcs prefer them raw, a green skin delicacy. Mutations include salt scorpions, nectar scorpions, and the ever rare gemstone scorpion rumored to grow up to 4 feet long.

Flaming penguin: native to lava islands, entirely mundane, able to swim in lava, often homosexual, favored creature of fire lords.

The gilded squirrel is a magical beast, legend has it that it is the offspring of a squirrel and a dragon. These squirrels hoard gold and gems, to have a gilded squirrel on your property is a good omen. These hardy squirrels chew through gold and make their homes out of the stuff, over a lifetime of chewing up gold a mature squirrel usually has quite a bit of gold imbedded in its coat and it’s teeth are plated in the stuff thus its name. Highly clever creatures When trained they can be taught to engrave and shape gold like master craftsmen, often used by elves to mass produce coins and trinkets. They literally work for peanuts... and whatever gold shavings it can fit in its cheeks

The great winged buffalo, birdie birdie in the sky, why oh why do buffalo fly? It’s a god damned bovine with talons and wings, dear god. Woe betide the poor traveler that happens under a flock of flying buffalo flying south for the winter, few races settle in sky buffalo territory. They are difficult to catch and harder to domesticate, though great eating they are so elusive that only great hunters even try to get them and when they are quarried the meat is worth its weight in tarcats. Oddly enough orcs are the only race to know the secret to domesticate them and they make a fearless steed in battle.

I think we could do with more fluffed creatures that are pretty much hostile to everyone and everything.

As of right now our dungeon is kinda lacking in much dungeon-y-ness.

So you can either wait till the auction to bid against other Overlords to get one or you can place up a request/bounty and wait for someone to fulfill it. Either way, it's not cheap."

"Now another market that is most worthy of pointing out since your a mage is the Magic Market. The Magic Market is an interconnected marketplace created by magi long ago to buy and sell things. To this day it still exists and is carefully maintained. The magic market differs from the Overlords Shopping Centre in that they specialize in resources useful to magi and transportation."

They aren't exactly 'fond' our kind and are very jealous of the riches we enjoy. Not to mention their shipping speed is utter shit compared to the other two as well. Seriously though it's awful and expensive."

So it's not uncommon to resort to the dangerously unreliable Black Market. Who don't care but at the same time they have their own issues which are not few. If you don't mind trouble or price they can also provide you with things or be willing to buy them from you for a handsome profit. After all, they don't care if you're a disgust and notorious Overlord or an infamous Mage. While the goods those two can offer can be quite difficult to otherwise acquire."

"Of course much to their own misery the Overlords can tap into their own markets and once they have enough Magi even the Magical Market is not out of reach even if they aren't one."

It may be wise Overlord to build someplace to store your wealth and materials. The minions tire of having to transport it all by hand from the dungeon core. It would also serve to attract certain minions to your service here much better...

The Orcs offer a blueprint for Orcish Barracks in exchange for you building a Barracks. An Orcish Barracks boosts population growth, training, and rallying troops. In exchange for increased squalor. It is far superior to a normal barracks in exchange for certain penalties. In addition it also boosts minion morale for orcs(this is true for any specialized room if those using are of the appropriate race). It is not advised to allow non Orcs to bunk in an Orcish Barracks. They won't like it and won't be as comfortable in it(reducing its effects).

WARNING
There are NOT enough minions to work the farms! Product is being left to rot.

Good news Overlord the Farming Complex is a wondrous creation that removes the size limit from Farms! In addition to that amazing benefit, it also decreases the cost to create a specialized Farming Layer.

>>2428698
I think it might be okay if we're going to create that semi-aquatic layer for it to stay in. Otherwise, I'm less enthused about the idea of keeping Misicwa.

The Overlord being retarded isn't the character's fault. We aren't weak, we just make stupid decisions. Which was the mage hero's point.

Keep the hero and lets try to work something out. They don't want to be control and we don't ether. There's some common ground to start off on. We can start with deals we both agree on. Payment for asked tasks for both sides. We can choose to do said task for pay and will not force the other.

>Act
For starters as for what to do. Lets deal with some of the warnings. We still don't have the wretch hive. So bulk buying it is.

>Building
Most of the horde is off on an adventure/raid. We can work on the barracks slowly till they near.

Which lets us get the new workers not farming to build the storage. Which leads me into wanting to hire or train a banker/accountant, armourer, and storage guard.

Personally oversee the construction of the summoner facility.

Leaving the Evineer to oversee expanding the living space.

If the stone mansion is free. We need to start getting doors and defenses up. The engineer can help design once we get simple things we can do done.

>>2428985
Mage hero is who I'm talking about beating up he should respect the overlord.

Also we couldn't even cast the other hero away after we summoned him.

Lastly we need to create a caste system for our people there is too many. We also need a group of advisors with people like mage hero to give advise. Kinda like a presidential cabinet. These people can act as overseers while the overlord studies or leaves the dungeon.

>>2428985
>So about beating the shit out of the hero, you're talking about Misicwa right?
This please. Lets make It a priority to strengthen our Overlord, maybe make a staff or learn spells? We have alot of minerals with magical properites we know nothing about for crafting, even If we didn't want to go through the trouble of learning books/crafting staffs, we have the magic market. Enchanted amulets, gloves, staffs, tomes ect.

>>2429041
Case in point about stupid decisions: Wanting to punish the one guy who pointed out your mistakes, and also told us about the Overlord Shopping Center, Magic Market, and other markets, for being so pissed off by our stupidity he achieved a heroic breakthrough.

We couldn't cast the other hero away because we fed it. We allowed it to eat the pile of treasures. If we'd just come in swinging we could have taken it.

I don't know what you mean by a "caste system." Our minions are already divided into a bunch of different types. We do need a chain of command, the Horde Overseer should help with that. We got a few special undead to command the other undead. I guess mages should command the elementals.

>>2429048
Last thread there was a list of facilities we need before we can do proper enchanting. We should also get a proper dwarven forge to get some high quality equipment.

By caste I mean we need a system of farmers and a leader over them then miners and a leader and so on. Then all these leaders come to us with needs and ideas.

Mage hero I think acted like a bitch because if he knows this knowledge then he should have spoke up. But your right beating him up is stupid now that I think about it. How bout we talk to him more see what he knows and make him an advisor.

New Layers are constructed from left over realities,magic nether, broken dimensions, and raw chaos. Within paying a very hefty cost to manipulate what it results in. The results are entirely random.

The more layers you have the higher the cost of constructing new layers. This is due to the ever decreasing stability around the created dimensions as they are stacked upon each other. Theoretically its possible to build infinite number, but good luck actually afford to do so Overlord. Not even the Masters are that foolish.

Its worth noting that ALL dimensions or 'layers' are connected by the Dungeon Core. Should the Dungeon Core be destroyed...they will also all be destroyed.

More fluff:

Swellgems

Swellgems are an odd mineral. They are not exactly rare, but neither are they common. They are not often found, and hardly ever in significant quantities outside of dangerous magically active locations. When they are found they tends to be quite abundant, but due to the locations of deposits and only having limited utility (and therefore lucrativeness) it is still relatively rare to find them on the market. The chief property of swellgems is the ability to absorb magic, and physically expand as they do so.

The effect is noticeable, but nothing extravagant, and while it is possible to very slowly grow more swellgems off of a single one by feeding it magic this takes a considerable amount of time and patience. Their rather lackluster matte green appearance (though they are often flecked with impurities to produce interesting features) and the fact that the swelling caps out quickly and fades quickly after the magic source is gone has seen to it that they are most often used in niche applications by haberdashers and tailors creating gimmick garments for the nobility.

Rolled 28 (1d100)

Here’s an idea:
We’ve got stone armor already. The fire elementals said there were flame-aligned metals that could essentially prevent heat transfer if properly worked. We’ve got the goblin forge which is good at intricate gadget-type work. We’ve got magic crystals and the recipe for Orichalcum, which is strong and a good magical conductor.

Make an armor frame out of the insulator metals. Anything that’s going to touch the wearer should be made out of these metals. The frame does not have to be made very thick or protective, but should be sturdy and not prone to breaking. Pains should be taken to construct in such a fashion as to leave spaces blank Where armor plates would normally be kept. This should essentially be the framework of an exoskeleton.

Next cast fairly thin plates of the fire-resistant metal inlaid with heat absorption glyphs, such that the glyphs will touch the wearer’s body and whatever is laid up against the outside of the plates (this ensures the wearer won't overheat due to no heat escaping the insulated metal). Fill in the gaps in the frame using these, making them permanently secure. The thin-ness is to save on material costs and allows them to be bent into shape to fit in the armor, and we can do this because these are meant to achieve an effect not protect the wearer.

Now on the exoskeleton attach ridges. The ridges are composed of 2 different materials. The top/bottom/sides should be made of Orichalcum flat strips of whatever gauge is appropriate should be fine. These ridges should be constructed like I-beams and secured onto the frame in whatever fashion is appropriate (welding is preferable, but utilizing an interlocking channel system with screws to secure the ridges in place is also conceivable and doable by goblin fuckery or dorf craftsmanship). The edges of the I-beams should curl in, and the side plates should utilize an interlocking channel system with regards the I-Beam.

Insides of the I's of the ridges should be coated with Swellgem paste, and the Orichalcum ridges should be connected at some point to the heat-absorption glyphs on the cast plates, so as to receive a magical energy supply.

Rolled 75 (1d100)

>>2430467

The final step is to use the stone armor crafting techniques we already have in order to construct plates out of Fire Stone. The Fire Stone is cast, milled, or otherwise crafted into a plate appropriate to be put in the armor (these plates could be cast-in-place using stone->mud and mud->stone ovens). With Fire Stone in place the Heat Absorption glyphs are fed, converting heat into magic, which is fed to the swellgem paste, which expands and securely fastens the Fire Stone armor plates in place. Metal components are all rather thin/light and sparse (except the ridges, which reinforce the skeleton and provide some defense even without any firestone), the stone forms the majority of the 'armor'. The wearer is protected from the oppressive heat of the Fire Stone by the insulating metal, and kept cool by the heat-absorption glyphs that utilizing body heat as well as Firestone heat.

Suit repairs should be easy, as the glyph-plates can be mass produced and cut to shape in the event of damage. Fire-Stone pieces can be crafted with very loose tolerances on account of the fastening mechanism. Ridges are essentially beams, which can largely be extruded in a continuous process, and are unlikely to be destroyed due to being made of tough Orichalcum. The Exoskeleton is protected by the tough ridges, and is significantly less intricate to craft than most suits of armor.

Field repairs are distinctly possible with this system. In the event a firestone plate is destroyed the gripping mechanisms also deactivates. Minions could be supplied consumable stone->mud and mud->stone scrolls and re-cast armor components from shattered gravel in the field.

Other possibilities:
Exchange Flame-Metal for any metal. Replace Heat-absorption glyph plates with [mana-battery, magic-storing-crystal studded, life-force feeding metal] plates. Armor is now capable of using any material as the plates.

Upgrade glyph-plates with mana-batteries/magic-storing crystals/etc. Armor can now be field-repaired with any material at least temporarily until access to firestone again.

Rolled 40 (1d100)

>>2430472
Really I'm trying to get other people to come up with cool stuff. We can fluff anything, are rich as fuck, and the Overlord is an incredibly powerful and talented magician that we're underutilizing. He figured out how to make a Lava Elemental summoning circle off of some offhand comments AFTER he'd already made 2 other summoning circles that turn.

We're tragically underutilizing him, but I can't really think of how to apply his Forbidden Knowledge and appetite for Secrets properly to solving our logistics issues...well in a way that turns out well anyhow.

Rolled 35 (1d100)

>>2430474
Perhaps we can do some research into how dark mages stash away their treasures. Surely they've got some secrets relating to that.

>>2430476
Don’t forget that on top of [Forbidden Knowledge] we also have [Necromancer] so that always opens up various avenues of approach (Magitek enhanced tireless undead cyborg ninjas anyone?) and we are confirmed to be exceptional when it comes to daemonoic knowledge (although I don’t particularly enjoy the idea of making deals with them for obvious reasons) so anons have that to work on.

Expanding upon your armour idea, perhaps we could (for our undead leaders) incorporate some runes that enhance and draw out necromantic power, allowing them to fully use every last drop of energy contained within (combine with some death diamonds for “unlimited power”?)

We could probably use a suit of armour like the one you’ve created just with more magic enhancing runes, perhaps combined with death diamonds for reasons stated above.

>>2430482
Undead are neat an interesting in that we don't really need to necessarily make armor for them. They're undead and unfeeling so in quite a few cases we can just directly apply upgrades to them.

For instance we could embed Fire Gems into the bones of our Flaming Skeletons, and then engrave them with containment sigils (or whatever) that will break the fire gems upon the skeleton's death, resulting in an explosion that's more powerful the longer the undead has been around.

Or we could try and duplicate that effect with glyphs or something similar. Hook a heat absorption rune up to some sort of mana battery that's designed to break when the skeleton does.

We can also have skeletons walk through molten metal in order to massively upgrade their armor. We can directly replace their fingers with forged claws. Any number of things to upgrade undead.

But all that's still small-fry basic bitch shit. Stuff other people have figured out a long time ago, we're just in a good position to do it as well on account of being rich and hving rare stuff. We need to think on ways to make magic interact in order to do something that's really exceptional and/or deadly.

>>2430497
>>2430482
In general I think we'd be best served coming up with feedback loops and are things that self-propagate or grow nastier with time.

But using materials and glyphs is really only a thin slice of the pie. Active and applied magic can surely be made to interact with this stuff to even more devastating effect.

Rolled 44 (1d100)

What about making something nasty out of both? Possessed armors are a thing, how about merging an undead with a vessel for a demon? It's likely to go horribly, but if we can make the vessel such that we can choose when the demon comes out and fucks with the undead then they're sure to be useful in some way or another.

>>2430497
>>2430503
>>2430506
All good points, although I was specifying the armour for actually important undead, such as leaders/heroic units and their associated guard, so what do you think of magitek cyborgs?

>>2430507
The same principles apply to the leader units. Why put Death Diamonds on their armor when we can shove them in their flesh? And write runes on Mummy wraps.

I think we should get started on the orcs right away. We can probably use magic to suppress the immune system to not reject implants and use it to subsequently protect against infection as well.

>>2430511
Cyborcs could be fun, all the fightyness of Orcs enhanced with metal and and built-in gray dorf secret weapons.

>>2430511
Hey Anon, we could probably use that armour idea to create Golems, just a thought.

>>2430511
And the armour is for more space to put stuff, and to deflect anything that might hurt the body-buddy underneath, because enchanted/blessed weaponry is broken.

>>2430511

When it comes to necromancy, EVERYTHING is stuff other people have figured out a long time ago.

That said, maybe before we try elaborate, difficult ideas (regardless of whether someone else has done them before), maybe we should figure out how to have tools, weapons, and armor made of something better than bronze.

>>2430482
>>2430506
I suggested it before, but what about making artificial bodies for the wraiths to possess?
We currently have 500 Ash Wraiths and 100 Accursed Ash Wraiths, we could make bodies for them out of any combination of the many materials we have laying around. They get broken in combat, the wraith can flee and possess a backup (if we make enough of them), and afterwards the remains of the body can be collected and recycled.

>>2432021
I'm sure they'll pay off in time. I'm just trying to make the most as quickly as possible. I saw us hiring Farm hands and I was like is there a reason that we didn't hire the wretches? Since you know immediately they would be cheaper and cost no update. Allowing us to prepare building for more people. With out dealing with morale penalties for not having them yet.

If there's a bigger picture behind the action. That's fine and I'll leave it at that. I just didn't see a explanation and wanted to know more. Gotta know what my fellow players are thinking. So I can plan accordingly and hopefully contribute to the team.

Rolled 89 (1d100)

>>2432230
It was mainly just that halflings probably know farming techniques and other related things already, so they're likely to be better farmers than wretches.

They'll also reproduce so we won't have to continue buying more as our farms expand. And like anon above mentioned they will produce life-force where wretches do not. If we get the bakery running we can also stock it with halflings, and we ought to be able to sell processed rations for a profit.

Though perhaps instead of specifically a bakery we should but a more broad food processing facility, and we still need a water processing facility now that I think of it.

So many things to do just to reach stability before we can even think about upgrades to FUN stuff and such...

Building a store room only solves half the problem, as the minions are bitching about having to carry all this stuff to a location (the dungeon core) so that just means they're carrying it to a different location.

A distributed series of storerooms would remedy that. Perhaps connected to a central storeroom by portals that activate once they're full.

Or we can upgrade the Magma Plain with magma canals and have barges collecting the treasure to drop off at a central location.

I've also been thinking on how our dungeon should be organized to maximize our defense. We've got 3 dimensions to work with so we should be able to make something pretty neat and nasty. Anyone have ideas?

“The Fortress consisted of over 32 square kilometres (20 miles) of hardened bunkers, towers, minefields, trenches, razor wire, tank traps, redoubts and a system of complex underground tunnels. The defenses of the fortress were shaped in the form of an eight-pointed Star of Chaos. At the center of the Eternal Fortress' defences lay a massive command bunker that was, however, intended to serve only as a decoy and had no actual tactical or strategic value.”

Replace star of Chaos with giant summoning circle, then the fun begins.

I was thinking more that we can put our rooms/wings either above or below the magma plain. Particularly if stuff is below then we can have hidden entrances (with fail-safes and diverter tunnels for safety) that are normally obscured by lava flows. If the Horde wing is in the ceiling of the magma plain chamber then they'll turn the entirety of below them into a killzone and any attacker would have to fight uphill to get anywhere.

In some places we'll have goblin-made bucket elevators scooping the magma up to supply nefarious machinery in the ceiling, in other places we'll carve heat-collection circles to power reverse-gravity glyphs that make the lava cascade up. Active and random diversion of magma through artificial lava tubes that unlock access to appropriate rooms in the floor if you're a minion and have the correct access rune-component or glyph-tattoo.

More Dark Halfings recruited from Overlording Centre who takes to their underground situation quite well. Most are farmhands but a few are cooks to work the tavern. Now the food is actually edible! Much to the dwarfs' relief.

However hiring so many dark halfings is NOT cheap and they advise that you use someone else to tend to the surface related farms. As Dark Halfings Overlord are native to the dark underground and are actually quite skilled at underground agriculture. Many say their long stay in the dark caused their skin to change color and their own minds to twist.

They are still friendly enough sorts. Just in a cheerful serial killer or corrupt horse salesman kinda way. Well that and they actually LIKE creatures like orcs and goblins even monsters. No idea why most common belief is its because they are huge slavers. Not true they just crazy standards when it comes to company.

Still unlike the humble halfings on the surface, their underground dark brethren are...indeed quite twisted. Their taste of thieving replaced with murder as an example.

>A lot of materials were exchanged for dark halfings

4 additional Evilgineers hired.

Evilgineers advise caution the use of worker golems. They have a nasty habit of repeating orders to long detrimental effect, have a very hard time with delicate tasks, and going berserk. Among many other unfortunate issues. Still, it doesn't stop the Magocracies from using them in bulk.

More grey dwarfs purchased. However, dwarfs do not actually have typical enchanters. Instead, they have runesmiths. There is one exception that being the Dark Dwarfs supposedly have actual enchanters.

"So since the horde is still missing your suppose to give me advise on building housing for the Horde. Now what would you suggest," asks the evilgineer to the Overseer.

"...Uh why not like them build their own shitty hovels? What do you think have blueprints for everything? I'm an Overseer aka management not a fucking engineer," replies the Horde Overseer.

"Ah...shit I thought you had this covered since the Overlord told me to talk to you."

"Nope. Why the fuck would I have blueprints on me?"

"Well what am I going to do with all these earth elementals?"

Rolled 7 (1d100)

>>2436589
"Uh I don't know go build something," shrugs the Overseer.

"...hello I was SUPPOSE to build horde housing with YOUR help."

"How the fuck am I suppose to help? I don't have the blueprints!"

"EXACTLY the fucking problem. Goddamn useless management types I fucking swear you people are useless."

"How is it my fault that I don't have the blueprints? That's YOUR job."

"GAH there is more than just a SINGLE fucking way to help! You useless mongrel bastard."

"I don't build shit my job is literally being a glorified babysitter."

"HAH that is something we can agree on!"

"Hey I think I got an idea of what we could use those earth elementals for."

"Ooh what?"

"You got one of those freaky dungeon cores right?"

"Yeah what of it?"

"Oh trust me on this," chuckles the Overseer rubbing his hands together. "We are gonna have some fun."

"Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling about this..."

"Now now friend," begins the Overseer wrapping his arm around the Evilgineer. "All we gotta do is quite simple. See if we use that Core we can do stuff like..."

"Ooh...ah...no really? Oh man," continues on the Evilgineer as he's dragged along and listens to the Overseer.

Meanwhile in a different portion of the dungeon a group of Evilgineers were circled together argueing among themselves. While the bored elementals played a strange game involving firewalls and lava balls in the background.

"No no no we got lots of dry heat this easy," says one the engineers. "We even got lava and lava is cool!"

"You moron we don't have any fucking earth elementals to dig for us. How is this going to be easy? We have fuck all for diggers just a bunch of fire elementals who don't know to dig if their lives depended on it."

"Yeah we need space and all we got is just some...kobolds add some dwarfs to dig for us. We can't make enough space for dry all the crap the farms produce."

"No no no you fools why are we thinking a room we should bigger then that! We just gotta build some scaffolding in the magma plain mining. Just put it all on top of that and there we go."

"That would cook it NOT dry it. We need to dry not turn into charcoal and tasteless ash."

"The dwarves are busy and we need to hurry up and resolve this. We still gotta help build the enchantry and help set up a production line for tools."

"Well kobolds should work right?"

"Yeah but not the on the scale we need."

Meanwhile, in the distance some of the elementals got bored with their game realized they still had a job to do. After seeing that the evilgineers were still arguing among themselves without result. They shrugged and wandered off with the supplies. Yet only after they created some carts with volcanic rock, with a lava elementals underneath it, and built a box at the back end where the fire elementals went. After that, they blasted out of there with shocking speed.

The evilgineers meanwhile kept on arguing among themselves until finally one of them realized the elementals disappeared.

Rolled 28 (1d100)

>>2436627
It didn't take them long to agree on blaming the elementals for the failure, before going off to handle their other tasks. Only later did they realize the elementals sorta disappeared with all the supplies that were suppose to be dried out and stored...

Sometime later the evilgineers met with a the dwarves runesmiths and a single dark dwarf echanter(who was bought at rather cost) to discuss the dwarven enchantry. It didn't take long for the dwarfs to realize the evilgineers weren't up to their standard and they kicked them out to handle it for themselves.

The evilgineers now angry after failing their first ever Overlord decreed mission and now having got kicked out by the dwarfs they were supposed to build the necessary facilities with. Begrudgingly went onto their final task.

Where they went to the foundry to oversee the acquisition of metals they needed for tool making before heading to the orcish forge and figuring out the production line for mass producing the necessary tools. Finally, they got to do something they could actually accomplish. Once they had it figured out they simply had to hand off the tasks to the golems and requested a quality checker along with an overseer be sent to watch them.

The dwarfs meanwhile after getting rid of the evilgineers discussed the building of the necessary facilities to allow for enchanting. Only there wasn't much progress until one of them remembered that they had dwarven engineers now. After dragging him out of the tavern they came up with some plans.

Blueprints gained
>Dwarven Runeforge
>Dwarven Magical Foundry
>Dark Dwarf Enchantry

The dwarfs have begun work on building the Runic Forge...which is going to take awhile. Dwarfs are not hasty builders.

Meanwhile the Overlord dismantled some worker golems and spurgled on purchasing research materials. You came to the following conclusions...

Golem worker flaws largely stem from their enslaved spirit that controls them. With notable exceptions being that they don't know when to stop and are unable to handle more delicate tasks due to the lack of feeling in their limbs(they do NOT understand the concept of 'gently').

Now the way the way to fix the last two flaws is to allow for smarter golems(which increases the risk of spiritual backlash but may reduce other flaws) and somehow improve the golems sense of touch. They simply can't register gentleness and hardness touch well at all.

Strangely the use of undead workers is actually superior to golems for more sensitive and intelligently inclined tasks. Smart undead under a powerful enough master will never go berserk or rebel unlike the spirits controlling golems. More importantly undead still have some semblance of 'muscle' memory. Even having largely lost their sense of touch they still know how to handle delicate tasks and follow simple tasks without needing oversight, unlike golems.

>Forbidden Knowledge Activated

There is a solution of course...a terrible one known as Unshackling.

Rolled 18 (1d100)

>>2436674
Traditional Golemancy considers Unshackling a terrible Heresy of the highest order. it's on the level of purposefully enraging a golem and crippling its housing unit for the spirit(often called 'cores' which is false in multiple meanings). The idea behind it is quite simple by undoing some of the 'shackling' of the spirit controlling the golem you can enjoy numerous benefits...at the cost of greatly increased 'unfortunate side effects'.

Considering how the most important key to golems besides actually building them is the shackling of the housed spirit. There is little wonder why such an idea is regarded so lowly with such hatred and anathema to traditional golemancy.

Thus the vast majority of the times its discussed is due to an accident and not intentionally(unless through sabotage). Fortunately the Masters agreed upon the terms of the deal and offered you dark terrible knowledge...of the greatest forbidden kind!

Which naturally included the Art of Unshackling.

Besides increasing the 'intelligence' of the golem it also improves upon their strength. Most wondrously is their ability to enrage and grow ever stronger. Which works by turning the chains holding the spirit around and channelings its power through them throughout the golem. Hence their 'insane powerful rages'. A happy accident albeit quite an unfortunate one for traditional followers of golemancy.

A user of the Unshackling however considers this a 'good' thing to the point they are dangerously close to Possession but the two are NOT the same. Unshackling still requires the careful manufacture of the chains and housing unit. Just with some 'modifications'. It's thus possible to turn an ordinary golem into an unshackled one should you know what you're doing.

Usually like 99%, not a good idea. As the spirits tend to take advantage of the act to go on an insane rampage. Careful use of Unshackling can greatly improve the performance of the golem so long as your willing to take the risk of course.

Now what those cases don't tell you is a terrible secret originally known to only the Masters before they sold it to others for a terrible price. Nobody knows who exactly first came upon this diabolical idea but it certainly works.

[black]A Spirit that is Unshackled can still be controlled[/black]

By creating special spell formations and modified chains that are very...unusual nature. This additional chain is normally invisible to the spirit until activated. Causing the normally unshackled spirit to be chained in a different way once more. Only problem is unlike the modifications aka 'sabotage' that can be done to create an Unshackled.

This method requires building the golem from the ground up with the modifications. Otherwise, it won't work in the long term. At best you can cast a spell that can temporarily shackle a spirit but this only pisses them off more and is unreliable not to mention quite temporary.

Of course there is yet another very taboo subject among golemancy. That is the replacement or augmentation of golem body with spirit body trapped inside. For example if you have a fire elemental trapped inside and you use the taboo arm then the golem would appear to have an arm covered in or made entirely of flame. Such a thing is also strictly forbidden for obvious reasons. The biggest one being the weakening of the shackles trapping the spirit trapped inside to actually make it possible.

Such a thing would admittedly be easier than creating a Forbidden Shackled Golem. Hell you if you were willing to take serious risks it's not impossible to modify a preexisting normal golem into having some special parts like that.

Thanks for your notes and newly purchased materials. The minions understanding have golems has greatly increased and your research is stored within the Mystical Library for their perusal(magi minions and other scholarly types when unassigned will work in the library performing research or practicing).

As for you yourself your personal understanding of golems is increasing by leaps and bounds. If only you had a Golem Workshop...so instead you researched. Which included experimenting with new golem types.

NEWS!
The dark flame spirit has returned! Unfortunately they did not have the Wretch Hive. According to the spirit they didn't have the strength needed to barely get there. Most of the elementals died on the way there. Finally, when they got there it turned out the Hive had an owner who was using it. They tried to take it but it didn't go well...after they were driven off. They made the long journey back where most of the remaining survivors died. As a result there are only 4 survivors including the spirit.

They also warn about going too deep into the magma sea. Claiming the deeper you go the nastier the natives become. Thus an island in the middle of the sea...had some extremely dangerous foes hanging around nearby even before getting onto the actual island itself.

The Horde meanwhile is still absent...back the Horde went.

"Ah I think we finally got ourselves enough supplies, loot, and slaves," comments an orc looking at a burning town in the distance.

"Nah we can keep going thanks to the regular shipments back and we keep getting reinforced by new members all the time," chuckles a cheery goblin.

"We can't keep that up," shakes the orc's head. "We keep losing cohesion and it's only a matter of time before they drop the hammer on us. So far we kept safe by sticking to the rough terrain and regular border hopping."

"Yeah, I suppose your right."

If you want an Enchantry quickly the Goblin Magi would probably have a solution.

Someone has been dispatched to watch the golem powered production line.

Scrying the dwarf outpost does not reveal where the army came from.

Puppet knowledge has been purchased. While they need to be controlled personally they are notably more adaptable and do not suffer golem weaknesses. Their only major weak point is the controller.

As for possession vessels unless the possessor is willing and the vessel unguarded then it can't happen.

>Forbidden Knowledge Activated

...Unless you place upon the object a Possession Magnet formation. Something that attracts and potentially absorbs the unfortunate entity into possessing the vessel.

Simply put the reason 'why' the wraithss haven't bothered to possess anything is simply because they don't 'want' to. If they really wanted to they could just possess some armor, weapon, or dead body with no soul to resist their infiltration.

Or could do it the old fashion way shove one of them inside it and place entrapment formations to keep them from escaping.

Additional materials of puppetry are now available to the minions and have a Synergy bonus from the Golem materials.

>Forbidden Knowledge Triggered
>Fobidden Summoning Chamber has been constructed.
Summoning Chambers, unlike the typical summoning circle that you can place anywhere. Have far more built-in failsafes and withstand a shocking amount of power. The larger the summoning chamber the more beings or more powerful entities that can be summoned at once. The more summoning circles placed within a Summoning Chamber the better.

A forbidden Summoning Chamber has the additional ability. The biggest being the Vault that can store and dismantle countless summoning circles. More importantly, it can better withstand the nastiest of entities. Unfortunately, a Forbidden Summoning Chamber does have a flaw that an original one does not. A Forbidden Summoning Chamber is vulnerable to entities attempting to influence matters inside. Of course the more demented users consider this a good thing. After all its much easier to get in touch with specific entities you're looking for and gaining council. Not to mention the self summoning that you don't even need to do yourself(it is hence obvious why traditional magi despise such modified chambers).

"I don't get it how is this even suppose to function? You any idea how many laws of physics we are breaking?" Asks the Evilgineer to the Horde Overseer who shrugs before replying.

"I got no idea man but Dungeon Cores can allow for some really freaky shit. You gotta stop thinking about 'limitations' and 3d construction. That shit doesn't fly in a dungeon man. What you never heard of freaky dungeons that have multiple dimensions in a single layer and allow you to walk from a tundra to a raging inferno through a single door?" Answers the Overseer.

"Well if you have no idea how it works and I obviously don't then how is that those earth elementals actually understand it?" Asks the Evilgineer pointing at the earth elementals who are building...well he still hasn't quite comprehended what it is. Thanks to the flow messed up the flow of lava that flows sideways or even upside down and don't even get him STARTED on the stairs/rooms. Right now they both standing on some stairs that are sideways yet neither of them are falling to the ground.

"Yeah you know I don't know the answer to that either," shrugs the Overseer.

"Actually its because they are from the Realm of Earth and its laws are very different from our own familiar reality," whispers a silky deathly voice coming from nowhere yet everywhere. "To them our notion of...physics and construction is so...boring. All one plane all up and down. What you asked them to build is something they are familiar with from their homeland. Of course, they understood what you were asking of them."

"OH SHIT," screams both the Evilgineer and Overseer has they jump...then fall down to the ground. "AHHH *BANG* OWW..."

The voice starts to laugh and soon other voices also start laughing as some wraiths come out of the wall. Howling with their horrendously evil laughing and dark voices of death. As they wraiths dance around.

"Ah by the gods working in a dungeon is going to give me such a huge headache," complains the Evilgineer as he gets up. "I figured weird dimensions and gravity would only become a thing in the later layers. Not so quickly. More importantly isn't this...weirdness costing the dungeon something to employ? How is it for free?"

The wraith who spoke looked at him as if he were a dumbass and points at some objects the earth elementals were burying and placing around while they were building. "All it takes is some careful placement of gravity gems and other such things. It's not like its particularly difficult if you have the materials," it hisses.

"Ahh...what a waste of gravity gems," sighs the Overseer in sadness.

The Overlord meanwhile after finishing up his brand new Summoning Chamber. Heads off to see what progress the dwarves have made and are greatly disappointed by the results. Dwarfs are indeed slow but steady builders. Still the quality of their work blows everything else combined in the dungeon out of the water.

"We don't particularly need anything except manpower which would help speed things up," answers the dwarfs. "Can't let nondwarfs do any of the real work but slaves can help carry shit around at least."

"Hm defenses huh? First thing you should do is expand the entry hallway and make it long as you can. Give you nice long chokepoint to fortify. Thanks to the regular lava flooding thanks to those dick ass Lava Lords fortifying the above area is difficult thing. Reinforcing the structures, walls, ceilings, and floors would also help quite a bit. Make them sturdier and harder for someone else outside to dig in."

>>2440500
"Building stronger doors and traps everywhere would also help. Preferably not those treacherous little traps the kobolds build everywhere. Little thieving bastards."

The Dwarfs state they can start steel forging but only Dwarfs make the best steel. Metals stronger than steel...is when gets very difficult and exceedingly tricky. They will require specialized forges if you want to mass produce them, alchemy facilities, and lots careful magic usage. The dwarfs admit though steel handles magic rather poorly. Its why bronze and copper is so popular still. It's not nearly as difficult to make as orichalcum and plenty mundane but still has good magic properties.

Not to mention they don't much like the idea of trying to teach the childish goblins and moronic goblins how to forge steel.

"Eh enchanting is much more common among other races Overlord," explains the dark dwarf. "Dwarves prefer using magical runes and formations. We the dark dwarfs are the exception. They say only we are crazy enough to infuse magic directly into the item itself and they are right. Sure there might be more unfortunate side effects and mishaps but our magic items are much more powerful. Unfortunately trying to mass produce them is...well the Dwarfs know how to do it with their runes. Its a big secret of theirs though. Its why besides their craftsmanship their defenses are so powerful. They carve runes into every stone and it adds up. Throw in some synergy and making them parts of a larger formation...it results in something extremely strong. Of course other races have tried to copy the dwarfish runes but they are always lacking. For they are not dwarves."

Kobolds, golems, and engineers start building a treasury.

Misicwa and the magi state building some more magic formations to generate water would work or use entities like water elemental abilities to produce water. The Evilgineers point out expandng the water aqueduct or building a water recycling facility would work. Most of the wastewater is either absorbed by the dungeon or used in the farms.

Unfortunately there just isn't enough proper builders to go around. Kobolds are only skilled in digging. There aren't enough earth elementals or dwarfs. Earth elementals don't exactly understand how to engineer they are just naturals at manipulating earth and rock around. Only dwarfs have any real talent for it.

Some of the dispatched horde forces are finally returning in caravans hauling loot, supplies, and slaves.

WARNING
Words spread you are no longer unknown.

You need more storage. The minions tire of having to trek to the Core for everything and it's a big safety hazard.

There is no slave pen for the slaves and slave unrest is much higher. Maybe you should sacrifice some slaves?

Hmm. Our priorities perhaps need to shift now that our renown has gone up. I get the feeling adventurers will be coming to push our shit in all too soon.

How much does another layer cost just by default randomized?

How much does a farming layer that’s discounted cost?

>>2441134
First layer is 10.

The discount is that ALL farms count a SINGLE farm type when purchasing a layer.

Rolled 63 (1d100)

>>2441134
I think our top priority should be dealing with those alerts first. Storage, slave pens, and treasury, we need to build these things.

Summon more earth elementals and dorfs to do this (and get the runeforge built sooner)

Getting a new layer cheaply seems like the most inefficient possible way to improve defences rapidly, due to the exponentially increasing cost of additional layers.

For defences, we should probably start implementing the dwarves' suggestions by expanding the entry hallway to make it as long as we can.

After that reinforcing buildings walls/celings/floors, installing stronger doors, and some serious traps.

Rolled 42 (1d100)

>>2441186
I’m in favor of sacrificing the slaves in order to solve some of our other problems, along with needing slave pens. We just need to be creative with how.

>>2441186
Also expanding a layer means we get to move all our shit down, further away from the entrance. Another layer would require any invaders to breach the first.

Rolled 43 (1d100)

>>2441356
I understand why you suggested it, but that does not refute my point. It's a massive opportunity cost. Do you believe it is actually the only way to avert total destruction? Because if it isn't, then it would be better to save up for a custom layer, because it's our best chance to get any custom layer we want; because each successive layer costs 10X that of the previous one. Which means we'd also have to pay at least 10X more to get a custom layer later.

Although I'd be okay with any layer that would make the most of Misicwa as a guardian. So anything aquatic or semi-aquatic.

>>2441347
This, I have no strong opinion on, so sure, whatever. I'd think we'd just feed them to the dungeon core for energy, but if you've got some other way of sacrificing them in mind, I'm listening.

>>2441174
>>2429613
Could we get random semi-aquatic at a lesser cost multiplier?

Rolled 97 (1d100)

I don’t think we’ll be totally destroyed either way, but it was something we needed a price point on in order to plan and keep our options in mind.

about a quarter and then some. According to their report, they lost people but they recruited a lot of unsavory characters to replenish their numbers. Hell, they are even expecting to come back with more troops then they left with. Including valuable sub species like Hobgoblins.

Apparently, the 'horde' split into two different groups one charged into the underground to hunt around and the other went to the surface to pillage. They state they be bringing in plenty of plunder, new recruits, and slaves.

Its worth noting Overlord the more havoc you cause the bigger and more bad ass you appear. The better and more plentiful the minions that will be interested in joining up.

Misciwa and the elementals that survived the expedition may assist in this if they wish.

We just need more workers. The easiest way I see of doing that is either getting more elementals, or crafting more golems.

Perhaps we should replace the 2nd action with creating slave pens, I didn't notice it but our Water rating did go up so we can put that off for a bit.

We also should still reward the Dark Flame Spirit and his Elementals with 1 unit of Energy, and his pick of our treasures. They may not've succeeded, but they tried and we have faith in them.

Rolled 87 (1d100)

>>2443494
I'd suggest not only creating slave pens, but get someone to build storerooms. The kobolds (with assistance) started building a treasury, we still need to get to work on other forms of storage. We should do these things instead of the other construction projects.

Also summon more earth elementals and dorfs. Air and water elementals may have their uses, but they won't help with general construction.

>>2443722
We've got a bunch of large animals just laying around (likely to die) if they don't get housed soon. We got those animals in our double-crit and I'm loathe to let that investment go to waste. I'd wager getting them housed is more urgent than getting storerooms.

Water Elementals and Lava Elementals paired up allow for another construction force, particularly in the magma plain. Air elementals I'll concede.

Or if you have a better solution, do that instead.

Gift the Dark Flame Spirit and his surviving elementals 1 Energy (that's a lot, right?) and a reasonable amount of whatever they want out of our stockpiled wealth.

There's been no alert about that, and if there was any mention of animals lying around dying, then I missed it, so I'd assume the farming complex++ (unlimited) is adequate for the "larger animals we keep in farms."

>>2443821
Close enough.

Making sure we do in fact have somewhere for the animals is worth it, I suppose.

Hopefully the evilgineers will be able to requisition more workers, because I"m pretty sure golems won't cut it, especially with just a single engineer to direct them.

Okay, so everyone overlooked that and we should have dealt with it immediately.

Let's see if there's anything we can do about it now.

We got a lot more than plant farms from that action though.

>>2444118
I was hoping we’d get giant farm animals as a result of incorporating “yield enhancing materials” into the existing animal farms when I wrote that action. Would’ve been neat.

>>2444060
*starts sweating* Yeah sorry about that I haven't gotten around to renaming the animal farms into something far more accurate. Like ranches, chicken roosts, and so on. Hence why I didn't include them.

>>2444129
They are just bulkier.

If you want giant animals that is actually simple if your willing to spend the energy to have the dungeon boost them. It won't take too long to make them giant but getting them magical will take some extra care.

Not impossible(just see the fire worms and chickens).

On the other hand, giant creatures have much higher upkeep them average sized ones and magical creatures are going to have special upkeep requirements(which aren't cheap if you don't have a supply of them available).

But once you get giant bugs going and magical beast parts. The stuff you can create get real nifty. Think Monster Hunter and alchemy(SCIENCE!) boosting components.
