Thanks! This looks nice. Some calm before the storm. Could be i can't start sooner than in a couple days but i'll let you know when i do

Edits:

Legends time. Ah okay right the Neblime situation is my bad, i forgot to add a "2" to the second one? I think i did that? 'Neblime' Singedlens, male dwarf, was killed by the hydra in 152.
'Neblime' Sabreblazed is from a different civ and settled in Gateheaven in 153. And now there's 'Neblime II' Pickhope, a fresh Earthenjungle dwarf.

There's two 'Salmeuks' (dead dwarf + dwarven child) plus 'Salmeuk the Enduring' (dead) and 'Salmeuk II'. Oohh the confusion

It's not just "the latest version", it's the beta branch, for both of them. So options->betas and pick "public beta" and "adventure beta" for both apps

This worked!

Nice!

Omg that story had me smiling a lot, due to seeing all the familiar dwarves at the human town, and with the portraits too. Sad that the adventure ended so quickly

And yeah Maloy's story was super intense, puts the previous necromancer (Dishmab Moziblogem) to shame. Any idea what the necros names were?

Dwarven snatchers and human kings?

Damn, that IS dark... And yeah, good post! Pretty interesting though, that 'Astralathius' Crimsonreward guy lives up to humans having "great ambition"...

I just noticed one thing: he's a member of the enemy civilization, the Union of Frenzy.
He seems like a chill guy so I'm conflicted.

Should we start the new fort? I'm not good at military stuff like sending raids so probably not much for me to achieve here. And spawning new civ members would be good in continuing the civ's actual bloodline. If so, then could you do the embarking Maloy?

Question for next fort:
Do we wanna stay in this part of the world to try and finish our war with these civilizations? Or run to a new doomed part of this planet?

I say continue the war, but retreat and regrouping could work too. Maybe make mini forts to pump out newly spawned dwarves? I dont know

I have some ideas for the next fort. Possible trap corridor should be in a channeled moat, open to the sky. (OR, an elevated bridge??) So should the adjoining corpse stockpile and the accompanying atom smasher, built as soon as the stockpile itself, with a minecart link. I don't want all that miasma and corpses. Hmm, apparently cave adaptation is a thing again?

And on the subject of artifact names, you can't beat this beauty from the Museum III game.

Funnily enough that you mentioned the Museum, i've been reading through the Museum thread for the last while, i'm something like halfway through the first game's thread. There's some wild shit going on, what a story

I slay the giants in turn by jamming Bora Ragedance's corpse into their skulls - a fitting tribute for a great warrior. I continue my travels east and then north, skirting the ocean.

Thats great finish off the goblins to stop goblin sieges

I didn't know that about forgotten beasts! Since buildingdestroyer is broken we could start storing FBs in locked corridors to collect as many as we can. Use Gateheaven as a death trap to really damage the enemy pop numbers

I guess we could turn the elves and humans into garbage collectors, restrict burial and maybe hauling too to only them

I voted for new fort but I'm good either way so don't mind me

Isn't Salmeuk going to play? I hope so because i'm probably not ready to take another turn yet, playing takes a lot of time

Wow, exciting read! So many cool twists and turns. The war of conquest begins...

I hadn't even thought of the possibility to steal livestock. Perfect for this desert fort! Good idea to fill up the corridor with traps. Only reason I didn't build more traps, is that I wanted more interesting battles and a better story to write. To cripple the invasion but not annihilate it. A bit selfish of me

I went to Legends to check, looks like Muthkat Searchwall was a denizen of Luteglen: the chamberlain and also a slave of the Union of Frenzy. Those primitives keep slaves? Also, 'Conceited' Apexroad slashed off his nose in the fight. Still, 'Maloy' Fernboulder and his whole squad getting imprisoned is wild stuff

What on earth happened to 'Salmeuk' the child? OH, I found him. He's living in Strappedsun with his mum, 'Pawn'. Thank goodness.

I fell a bit late on posting these after the forums crash, so we're at year 120 currently. That said, let's roll the post! - OttoK

I was only able to get through a quarter of the year unfortunately due to being really busy and the game only running at 10 FPS

In that time, I made a magma reservoir and dumped magma into an area in the first cavern layer to clean up some trash, and I dumped some magma onto a particular populous area in the second cavern layer to clean up some baddies

I also killed a bunch of surface creatures and melted the corpses and other junk around the entrance, as I showed earlier. There weren't really any baddies in I melted in the first picture; mainly just debris. As for the second picture, there were a ton of baddies, which as you can see have been mostly taken care of

11 fps. Ngl things are getting a little painful
Also Jesus Christ there are a ton of agitated animals. It's like the whole region is sending all the animals at us

Salvadaddy — 23.02.2024
Ok so magma is a lot faster than I expected. So F for the dwarf we just lost to that
Ok it’s time for the moment of truth
I’m going to activate my nefarious device (TM)
It’s going to dump magma into the caverns to clean things up a bit

Okay, it's time. Tlikilrursner lore. What... HE WAS A SPY ALL ALONG
Still adorable, though

Salvadaddy — 21.02.2024
I know we don’t have an alliance, but I still feel betrayed

Then go kill his master
Free him!!

Hmm, how might we do that?
So, what we know: The Forlorn Butcher was a kobold thief who lived in a cave called Sistersdeeps. He was killed by the marsh titan that attacked his home. 31 years later resurrected by Osp Gleefuleven the necromancer, who is the warlord of bandit group called the Influential Destinies, operating from a bandit camp called Bronzetowns
If there's other members of Influential Destinies, they're nonhistoricals. But i like to imagine a warband consisting of a necromancer and a single undead kobold, sitting around a campfire

Albreo — 08.03.2024
He's that necromancer subordinate and was ordered to come to our town as a spy. If we can kill that necromancer he should be free but still, intelligent undead won't join a civ under normal circumstances. DFhack can fix that.

Otto_K — 09.03.2024
Yea, could be fun to hack him joinable. And then is there any way to do a hit on some guy on the world map 🤔

Albreo — 10.03.2024
You can look upon the legend to see where he is and send the squad out. The rest depends on luck but it is doable. That's how I got the socks back in the previous fort.
