The Inquisition has had spies in your fortress for quite some time now, and they've come to the conclusion that your fortress is a threat to the traditional values of the mountainhomes. There is but one recourse left: the total annihilation of your fortress.
Through political machinations, they've managed to change the leadership of your fortress with one of their own agents. They have exactly one in-game year to cripple the fortress.
The rules:Victims:
- Upload your well-established fortress here, preferably at the start of a new year.
- Provide a brief (3 paragraph max) history and account of the fortress, including screenshots of any interesting landmarks/constructions.
- Send me a PM that your fortress is ready for the Inquisition and I will add it to the list.
Inquisition:
- PM me with your chosen target from the existing fortresses. Fortresses can be destroyed more than once, as long as the method is different each time.
- Download the fortress and check the in-game date. You have until that time next year to cripple1 the fortress.
- Post a report of the event in this thread with pictures and descriptions. I will link it in the list.
Members of the Inquisition are subtle, so please avoid overt destruction methods such as:
- Digging to the river and just flooding the place.
- Breaching the circus.
- Ordering troops to kill everyone one-by-one.
- Letting the enemy destroy the fortress. We don't want these dwarves to go down heroically!
However, nothing is stopping you from using exisiting systems in the fortress to achieve the similar results.
Remember: you have one year. Be patient and a few well-placed strikes might be all you need.
1: "Cripple" in this case means bringing the fortress to a point where there is absolutely, utterly, and irrevocably no doubt that the fortress will not recover. For example, the last surviving dwarves are trapped in their rooms while all the halls are flooded 50 z-levels down, or the only dwarves still around are babbling incoherently, or all the ways out are blocked and the only warrior left has both arms broken2 as three FB's are bearing down on him.
2: Granted, if his teeth are intact and he's a biter, he might survive.
