Hermit
« on: September 04, 2009, 09:05:52 pm »

Well at this point I enjoy my fortresses more for the stories than anything else.  I can't get motivated for mega-projects, etc. So I was working on a mature fortress (>$1million wealth) and out of boredom decided to undermine my trade depot while the humans were there trading.  End result was a hole through 8 plus levels of the fort, human and dwarf injuries, humans and their animals on various levels.  In order to increase the pain, I quickly walled in the surviving traders in their various tunnels, along with a particular unfortunate dwarf whom I named "Hermit".  All this in an attempt to get the humans to besiege me.  I would occaisionally dump beer and food down for Hermit.

When my "Hermit" finally died of neglect and my dwarfs broke into his prison, they found that he had built a mason workshop, crafts workshop, carpenter shop, his own dining room, bedroom, office and....tomb.  They proceeded to bury the poor guy in the tomb he had built from himself and move the countless skull totems he had created to the stockpiles.  The humans remain ambivalent about their lost trading party.

So, I'm guessing you didn't actually go through the steps to save him, like dumping down a pick and some seeds? Poor little doomed guy.

I did do such a thing myself, but that is another story....heheh.

I thought this thread was about the hermit challenge. Someone should try that and document the results.

Imagine the datascape of the future, where digital archaeologists, scouring the uninhabited and long-abandoned corners of the supernet, uncover our creations (save folders) and hopefully the means to appreciate them in our context (a DF installation).

And that ... that is immortality.
