[h2]Greetings, Dwarven Lords![/h2] The development of King of the Dwarves continues. Today we would like to talk with you about the Dwarf Management system. As a King, it is your duty to ensure that everything is working like a clockwork. Learn a little more about the basic system of assigning the Dwarfs to their works. [h2]Dwarf Management[/h2] In short, you assign the Dwarfs to their job by using the sliders. It's a convenient tool that makes the whole job a lot easier. In every given moment you can decide whether you need more Miners, Warriors, or Workers, who will provide the Settlement with the food and beverages. We are still experimenting with the functionality and the looks of this Panel, but you can see some early prototype versions below. Let us know which one you like best!

Dwarves need a few moments to grab a new set of tools and move to the desired location, [*] Finding the real balance between all the available jobs is the key to success. [/list] While the whole Management might seem easy at first look, it's important to remember that there are going to be other Systems built on top of it. You will have a chance to set priorities for the buildings, that have to be built first. You will decide on the location of every building in your Kingdom. You will dig through the mountain in any direction you want. And you have to ensure that your Settlement can defend itself against the enemies. The challenge is still there. [h2]Dwarven Happiness[/h2] There's also one more important slider that you need to have in mind. As a Ruler, you can decide on the number of hours the Dwarves rest per day. By default, it's set to 8 hours of rest per day and is rather optimal to keep the efficiency in check. But some critical occurrences might require you to change it. Imagine a huge sudden attack in the middle of the night. The wave of enemies is bigger than anything you have encountered before. You can either wake everyone up and tell the dwarves to grab their axes or trust in your current defenses. Mind you, overworked Dwarves' happiness will drop quickly. It might result in some Longbeards leaving your Mountain or in the worst-case scenario - dying from exhaustion. The Dwarves are loyal, but their loyalty also has its limits. Rule wisely! Thank you for following King of the Dwarves! Best regards, King of the Dwarves Team
