Gnomoria in a nut shell
Gnomoria is a sandbox village management game where you help lead a small group of gnomes, who have set out on their own, to thrive into a bustling kingdom! Anything you see can be broken down and rebuilt elsewhere. Craft items, build structures, set traps and dig deep underground in search of precious resources to help your gnomes survive the harsh lands. Build your kingdom and stockpile wealth to attract wandering gnomads to your cause, but be wary of also attracting enemies!

My personal story!
So, time to create my new gnomish world! I've decided to make it huge for optimal awesome, and after spending a few minutes randoming names I think I've found a keeper!
Okay, so after taking a few minutes for my world to generate, here is the result:
What in the world?! How will they get down!? Oh well, I guess taking the Drunk Land wasn't the best of ideas, obviously my gnomes were a bit intoxicated during their journey...
On the bright side, Fes looks like a total badass, I'm sure he and I will get along just fine!
So now let's get down to business and start choppin' some resources!
Okay, so here's a picture of the UI, I find it really easy to navigate and fairly simple. The learning curve really isn't that drastic and it's pretty easy to jump into.
I am going to cut some apples off of these trees to give my gnomes more food to eat

Here you can see the aftermath of the designation of cutting the trees. It circles the job with yellow meaning it has yet to be started.
In this picture I am also going to chop some trees down for some wood to build some structures.
Okay, so now let's give my gnomes a place to put all of the stuff, including the containers you start with.
Okay, so here's me designating an area to place all of my junk in my trunk!
And here's the picture of deciding what goes into your stockpile, the priority, etc.
Now my gnomes are taking all of the logs and clippings to the designated stockpile area. This will make keeping track of my supplies easier as well as they will have an easier time gathering the materials that they need to complete a job.
Now I think I'll try and mine down to get some stone so I can begin creating some production facilities to create furniture and weapons and such.
Okay, now that I have set the task to dig down I'll go focus on other things!
Let's give some fortitude to my gnomes!
I'll begin by creating a wall around my farm and stockpile to protect them from outside enemies like goblins.
So here is my finished fort. It's pretty badass, you don't need to tell me!
But I've noticed that no digging has taken place yet....what is the hold up here...?
What in the hell? How did this happen? My only two gnomes with pickaxes died somehow...
I liked Fes so much.....why....WHY!!?! Oh cruel fate!
Oh dear god, you morons.....
Now that I can't get to them to retrieve their pickaxes there is basically nothing I can do. Without stone I can't create any workshops to build more pickaxes, and without pickaxes I can't get stone!
So I'll cut this world off here!
This is Drunk Land, signing off for the last time.
Overall I really enjoyed my world, no matter how much of a failure it was. Hopefully in the future I'll have a more successful world that will make for better reading!
