Tombscoast [A Community Challenge]
« on: June 30, 2014, 12:26:34 pm »

Are you up to the challenge?



Welcome to Tombscoast, Population: 486
Living population: 37 34 32 31

Main Attractions:
- Countless ravening zombies
- Husking clouds
- Low framerate
- Impossible odds


Care to try your hand at surviving in this Armok-forsaken cavern?
Enter, brave overseer.

P.S. Try not to pull any levers.

I'll be keeping track of attempts and putting links down here. Any changes to the source file that are strongly recommended will probably be made and re-uploaded (for instance, if someone wants a version where the doors are unlocked, or where the cave crocodile has been butchered, I'd be happy to oblige).

What would it be like to live in a world that was copy/pasted? Would we even notice? If not, how many times have we switched celestial harddrives or whatever?

Dwarf fortress in 50 words: You start with seven alcoholic, manic-depressive dwarves. You build a fortress in the wilderness where EVERYTHING tries to kill you, including your own dwarves. Usually, your chief imports are immigrants, beer, and optimism. Your chief exports are misery, limestone violins, forest fires, elf tallow soap, and carved kitten bone.

Yeah, I realized that a moment after I hit post. Can someone move this for me?

You can. There's a button in the bottom left corner. Not very easy to spot if you don't know where it is  ;)

You want actually overseer type reports, or is this an individual challenge?
Also don't bloat your population figures like that, there are only 27 dwarves.  Are there other cavern layers?  I can only see the one...

I want to tell you they were bad men, cephalo.  I want to tell you that with a better overseer the Fortress never would've gotten so bad someone would get offed in a pointless fisticuffs.
But the sad truth charlie?
It was inevitable.
