Ancientanger!

Today, A new page of Dwarven history will be carved! Strike the earth!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(Note: This is my first Comm-uni-tay Fort, so bear with me.)
First, of course, I'll need 6 5 4 Young meatbags to join me, but also...
I want you guys to decide where we will embark.
Tundra? Desert? Jungle? A town? A Fortress?
I'm leaning for Jungle, with the Elephants, but It's up to you guys.
Forget it, I found the spot.



Starting stuff:

Plus 8 bags of sand

Starting Dwarves, pick one, but not the highlighted one. That's mine 


Starting 7:

I'd love to join, but one thing: Why an aquifer? To be honest I've never played with one, as I've avoided them like the plague since I started playing DF (The wiki told me to!)

Two reasons:
1)Challenge
2)Finding a tropical forest without one was as hard as adamantine.

Yeah, I hate them too, but there are ways to avoid them.... I hope they work now.... Also, it will provide water for the dorfs.

From the Diaries of Ernest, Expedition leader
1st Granite, 1053
We have arrived! No sooner do we stop for a rest, but one of the farmers spots a leopard! I hope the dogs can deal with that. None the less, I'll begin scouting immediately.

Here is my sketch of the area around the wagon. I need to work on my drawing skills.

(sorry about the poor quality, I'll try to deal with it soon.)

3rd Slate, 1053
For the love of Sined! There is an Aquifer here, and none of us posses the knowledge to get past it. Emily suggested we make some sort of stopper to block up the aquifer and dig through, but all of your attempts have failed. For now, we have decided to set up a small camp on the surface, until we can devise a way to get past it.
I am currently telling the dwarves to build temporary shelters above the ground, similar to the humans. the grumbled mildly at this, and set to work. I myself have always felt an odd connection to the humans, though most at the fort disagree. In other news, Matuin spotted some elephants migrating across the landscape! I trembled at the thought, as I have heard stories of great fortresses brought to ashes by the behemoths, but we must endure. I myself have always had a finer taste than most dwarves, and I see the finer qualities of Raw adamantine than nigh on all dwarves! I'm tired now, and have no energy to draw anything today. I shall now sleep, and dream of dwarven wheat flour.

My hut is completed. No sooner had the last plank been laid, but Migrants show up! Here! In this insignificant heap!
We now have two metal smiths, to work with all of the metals, locked within the stone, that's trapped behind the aquifer. I shall make a quick tally of the fortress now.

In four months, we have almost doubled in size! think of what we could do in a year!
Tomorrow, we begin on an attempt to breach the aquifer. Emily, my fellow miner, has carved up some wooden screw pump parts for the project. here's to hope.

Ill take a mason if you make one. Call him Cognate McAwsomeDrawBridge.

[r3d5kull]

Hey I wanted to pick a miner. Name Johann Scmidtt

also could you go a little more in depth. I mean like a little more describing about the fort progression and, your doing well to describe the wildlife. Keep up the good work!   

[JoshBrickstien]

heh, I was just coming to close the thread, due to lack of interest. =P
Would anyone like the broker?
How about manager?
Oh, and anyone who wants a picture of your dorf's personality, let me know.

It's been so long since I last wrote. The project to breach the aquifer has taken longer than anticipated. We've had more migrants, And are up to 20 now. We're completely out of booze now, though. The caravan arrived, and we were ready to trade everything for the booze they had. One. Freaking. Barrel. In rage, the broker ripped down the depot, goods spilling everywhere. I need to have a talk with him. later. for now, we take their goods to our stockpiles. let's hope there's more drink than they told us...
I must get back to work on the aqueduct... no time to draw now.

Can I have the first dwarf drafted into the military? I am prepared to die a ridiculous death that makes even the elves look tough

[JoshBrickstien]

Sure guys I'l-

It's over. It's impossible to get past it. Our only choice is to abandon it. Maybe we shall try somewhere else, but I hold little hope.


Sorry guys, but there is absolutely NO WAY to get past it. You need at least two layers of soil to get past it, and we can only use one. Consider this thread, dead.
