(Based on the earlier thread You Only Build Once. Rules from that thread do NOT apply here, unless someone makes them again).

DESCRIPTION
Descriptive points. May change as the thread proceeds.

This is a multi-fortress and multi-adventurer succession thread open to all.

This is a silly thread.

This thread will use a newly generated world using vanilla DF 0.40.24 and Phoebus' Graphics Set.

This thread would probably work better with a quick turn around.

LAWS
The following laws may only be changed by the OP of the thread (i.e. ptb_ptb). They probably won't be changed.

1. At some point during a player's turn (start, during or end) the player may add or remove one rule.

2. Proposed use of raw modifications and dfhack scripts must get the OK from ptb_ptb.

3. ptb_ptb will give players who have made a turn the opportunity to veto use of raw modifications and dfhack scripts.

4. New bugs encountered should be reported to the bug tracker with relevant saves if at all possible.

5. If you encounter a known bug you should consider submitting a save file and / or comments to the relevant bug report.

Can I get pre-approval to implement the simple Kobold mod from YOBO?

I was doing dwarf relationship science. Then, after 12 game years or so, eveybody died.

Obviously init files etc. can be changed freely.

* Killing a kobold for any reason is a penalty of 100 KP.  Even if they started it.

The kobold adventurer need not survive, but rather you can keep a running tally of all kills made by all kobold adventurers you have ever made living or dead!  Kills should be tallied at the end of any given kobold turn.

As yet, there is no use for these points, this will be fleshed out in future rules.

The tale of Sifitrayrbus,

A day during the season of flowering,





This morning I awoke atop the family mound, my head still ringing from the drink of flowering celebration.



Curiously, I find the family mound completely deserted.  They had threatened many times to move away and leave me here, so perhaps they have finally proved that threat more than a bluff.  Even the caves were deserted of all but a giant Tode that I decided to leave alone.  Unfortunate that I am thus alone, but not an untableable situation.  My mastery of the dwarven languish will find me in good stead, as the only option open to me is to embrace the life of a dwarf!

I know of a cluster of stormholds close by to the eats, so I have already packed my things and will head there immaculately.





Thus ends the brief tale of Sifitraybus.

I was actually doing pretty well.  Had disabled two of the three lions by tactical fire placement, rock throwing, and severing leg nerves.  And then the only lion I had left to disable got in a good swat.  The mauling that followed was short and brutal.  C'est la vie. 

0 confirmed kills. Bugger.

Rule #2 Project Baby Boom. A player may declare a new fortress as part of Project Baby Boom when embarking. If there are ever more fortress member dwarf deaths than the total of babies born then Baby Boom has failed for that fortress.

I'm starting a fortress and declaring it to be part of Project Baby Boom.

50 Mid-Spring, 1st Slate

Seven brave souls set out on our journey. We find a small area next to the goblin dark fortress Spidertusk and start to set up our forward outpost.

50 Mid-Spring, 6th Slate
Heinous slush falls from the sky. Many of us begin to despair. We hurry to build some sort of shelter.

50 Mid-Spring, 7th Slate
The unnatural weather continues. The force of the slush is enough to knock us some of us out, and small birds fall dead to the ground.

50 Late Spring, 4th Slate
Normal rain falls clearing the ground of some of the blue slush.

50 Early Winter, 16th Moonstone
We have run out of construction materials. Luckily the one thing this place does have is mud. Everything is going to be built from clay loam now.

Stardate HOLY CRAP IS IT THAT TIME ALREADY?

Our little stronghold now holds nine dwarves, two migrants having joined us a while back. Work is slowly continuing on breaking through the aquifer layer(s).


54 Late Summer, 20th Galena
Another migrant joins us. Our primary defence is dogs, cage traps, and the fact that nobody would want to go to this Armok-forsaken place.

54 Early Autumn, 18th Limestone
The dwarf caravan took one look at this hell hole and went straight back home. Can't say I blame them.

54 Mid-Autumn, 10th Sandstone
One of the miners nearly spoilt my perfect record of keeping dwarves alive by falling into the aquifer. Luckily he struggled out alive.

54 Late Autumn, 9th Timber
We are ready to 'splash down' the first ring.

Oh wait, no we aren't.

54 Late Winter, 10th Obsidian.
OK _this_ time we're ready to 'splash down' the first ring.

Except that someone is sitting directly under the cave-in zone.

Splashdown! It's sort of a success .. except that the shockwave injured a dwarf.

55 Mid-Spring, 3rd Spring.
Nobody died - so I call it a success. There is another layer of aquifer, though, so we will have to use the second ring as well.

55 Mid-Spring, 24th Spring.
Time to drop the second ring of soil down.

55 Mid-Summer, 28th Malachite
The third, and last, aquifer plug is needed. If the aquifer continues further down ... I am not sure what we will do.

55 Late Summer, 19th Galena
Success! It took us over five years, but we have finally pierced the aquifer layers. Without losing a single dwarf. While settled next to a Goblin Fortress. And braving rain that blisters the skin and knocks dwarves out. This seems like a good time to pause.

Eh, that's long enough. I'm taking another turn.

A priestess in my fortress came to me with a vision. Words spoken to her in the darkness

שєเภร ๏Ŧ ๒lยє
คгє ภ๏t Ŧ๏г ץ๏ย

After meditating on this her interpretation was that Armok was displeased by the casual and careless use of adamantine. Thus I proclaim the following rule:

Rule #3 A player must prove his worth before being allowed to work adamantine. He must create and sacrifice to the magma sea an artifact, which can be either; An aluminium armour artifact, a platinum blunt weapon artifact or any artifact of slade.

57 Early Winter, 27th Moonstone

We now have 13 dwarves living here. The latest project is something I like to call
**** YEAH! WATERFALLS!

We're off to a grate start. That is, the first stage is turning a large area of floor into 50% grates.


58 Early Winter, 16th Limestone.
The thought crosses my mind that we may have too many dogs and dingos.

Surely not?

There are now 16 dwarves living here. Two pairs of lovers, but nobody has shown signs of wanting to get married yet.
All of the migrants have been confirmed bachelors.

I tell the dwarf liaison to bring lots of wood next time. There are trees around the fortress, but I don't fancy getting covered in acid blue rain.

59 Mid-Summer 24th Malachite
I'm raising tame eagles now.

They're not good for much, but I figure I can just leave them to fly around the place and nobody can sneak up on me. They may also serve as useful distractions if a Roc or other flying monster attacks.

59 Early Autumn 2nd Limestone
I have set the stage for a trial run of the waterfall project. Lots of floor space had to be smoothed, to stop cave moss growing on it.


With some judicious planning and testing my aim is to have all the dwarves bedrooms continually bathed in mist. And, incidentally, in 2 depth water or so. I've been assured dwarves won't get moss growing on them in such a situation.
