DF Community Games & Stories / Sealrim: (Re)building a Kingdom - A Light Community Fort
« on: December 30, 2023, 01:46:09 pm »
Hey everyone! This is my third fort or so on the Steam edition, and the first one I've decided to do a write-up for along the way. I can't promise consistent, regular updates, but I do intend to see this fort out to its conclusion because the world it ended up in is intriguing to me.
A brief summary:
There are four dwarven civilizations in the world of Xah Acath (The Dimensions of Prophecy), an unknown amount of humans, elves, goblins, and at least three necromancers. Of the four dwarf civs, one in particular has a notably lower population than the others. I changed my Mountainhome civ to be that one. I love the drama of "you 7 dorfs are literally 1% of our total population, go make a successful outpost and DO NOT DIE".
My goal with this fort is to have a population of at least 100, because that'll be a significant benefit to the kingdom. A subgoal is to become powerful enough to take down some settlements from the largest dwarf civ.
I clicked the option to fully control your embark stats without realizing you can't back out of that once you enter it, so I had to create dwarves by hand for this. I'm also happy to dorf anyone who requests it in comments.
With that said, let's get on with it!
