This was my first major attempt to embark from a world gen that wasn't the standard "History Length", "Savagery", etc decisions, and instead has that whole damn list of choices. I decided I wanted to try a Volcano embark, since I've never done that before. I also slightly increased the embark points because I was fiddling with it, felt bad and swapped it back to what I thought was a decent amount (1500) and couldn't remember the actual, normal number of points.

I tend to do underground, normal farming with lots and lots of anmals for war, so I decided to switch on the Harder Farming, bring lots of seeds, lots of alcohol, and only a few animals (though 5 Plump Helmet men), and a pair of Dewbeetles for emergency booze. I did make a couple mistakes, however. I apparently forgot to grab a Changeling Breeder to go with my Changeling, and my female Badgerdog is only a pup.

le sigh.

Something else I'm doing that I don't normally do is that I'm not on a river, nor a waterfall. I tend to embark in places with a waterfall that forks at the bottom. I figured I'd try someplace else to get better FPS.

On the other hand, a more perfect embark I have never seen. In addition to flux, I have Titanite, Hematite, Malachite, Cassiterite, AND Bituminous Coal surface accessible from the get go. This is on top of the Magma in the volcano, Peat for an additional fuel source, and sand for glass. In addition, I have an Alchemist Guildie from the start, and a Legion Recruit (who likes Doors? Never seen that before. I'll give her 4 doors to nowhere in her room).

I am VERY strongly consider Flooring over the exposed Lava (and using that level as a basic magma forge to get me started, and using the Volcano as a base for a Megaproject. Basically a giant tower into the sky, with a prison (and Nobles Quarters) at the top. Possibly get a Dorfy Space Program going at the summit to show up those stupid Kerbals. Catapults and Bridges should do it, I think.

For the moment I'm going to need to get the ore I brought with me sorted, an anvil made, and some picks (and an Axeblade or two for treefarms) created, while I get some surface farms going, and try to keep anyone, whether pet or Dorf from falling into the lava. Having never done this before, I'm a bit paranoid.




I did a Reveal scan to see what I was working with (without marking locations of anything) and Oh my Armok. I think I died and went to Dorf Heaven. There is just a STUPID amount of resources, even before the entire map is entirely underground.

And I mean MASSIVE amounts of resources. I'm fairly certain I've got everything from Armok gems to............Ze Chromite. Even a decent bit of Mithril here and there. Plus lava available right the hell now. It almost makes me feel bad enough to gen another world without so many resources.

.....almost.

Then again, I do have 24 hostile races.........I guess I'll have to spend my stupid amounts of gold (probably enough to fully fill my 3x3 embark 6 Z-layers high if all the gold was in one solid chunk) on really good crap, and lay my heroes to rest in a few Masterwork Welded Titanium Coffins. No, seriously it is that good. There's like a minimum of 6+ ore veins per Z-level (actually that may be low, it may even be 8+), with at least 1 of each of the following: Malachite, Gold, Hematite, multiples of same, possibly Cassiterite, Silver, and lots of Wolframite deposits. And generally a Gypsum deposit every Z-level. Oh, and I'm still poking around and just spotted a few Breath of Armok gems (there are plenty of the others spread around too). Never seen those before. There's even a pocket or two of Anthracite scattered around.

Armok Dammit, I am SO saving this embark!

I am only a teensy bit annoyed there's no clay here. I guess I'll just have to suffer with having to do pretty much every other thing imaginable. If anyone wants the save I'd be willing to upload it somewhere.

*cracks knuckles*

welp, time to get to work. Writing all this up took me way longer than I thought it would.

This......is gonna be fun.

The Coal of Legend (Dorfs) vs. The Brigands of Strapping (Dark Stranglers)

Only Battle so far: Late Spring, Year 4

Stranglers led by Adventuresilent (and 15 others) attacked StolenFortresses (31 strong Fortress). The attack was called The Attack of Arrows.

StolenFortresses killed all invading Stranglers, but lost 6 Dorfs in the process (5 of them from the Original Seven).

Spoiler: The Attack of Arrows (click to show/hide)

Vabok Armoryhushd placed the final piece of stone into place, and stood back to admire her work.  To any artisan, it was a horrid patchjob of Gneiss, Obsidian, and even an odd patch of Sandstone here and there. But Vabok was no artisan. She left that to her patron God, Vabok Brainname. She had her work, and that was more than enough for her.

For the first year of Stolenfortresses, the main push had been to seal off the top of the volcano, and build great Magma workshops atop its molten core. Only a few months earlier, the Mountainhome Relicnotches had seen fit to send them no fewer than two Armorers, an Oven Operator, a Metal Crafter, and a Dorf who was proficient (but barely) in all aspects of metal working. But so far, the entire armament of the entire fort consisted of three Copper picks, a pair of wooden training axes, a Copper Chopping Axe, a Gold Battle Pick, an Ironbone Crossbow, a Gold Javelin Thrower, a Cobalt Chopping Axe,  and Gebanil, an Orichalcum Gauntlet. All in all not a bad set of armaments, but there was no armor to speak of, a fact that had caused more than a little grumbling amongst the dwarves.

Vabok hadn't had a chance to get a good look at Gebanil since it had been forged by a Strange Mood, but she seemed to remember a Gauntlet and a battle scene engraved into it.

The Paving over of the volcano had been slow at first, but then migrants had started to arrive, and they had been immediately been told to forget everything and go help out the paving project. As things progressed, first slowly, but more and more quickly--especially when a 15-man migration wave arrived that first Summer--Walls were thrown up to keep out invaders. As this progressed further, the mountainside was smoothed out by removing natural ramps to help keep the tower secure. But things didn't exactly go smoothly. The trio of miners were having trouble keeping up with demand, and were frantically mining through as much rock as they could. Several times, construction ground to a halt as there were no more stones available.

The Mighty Dwarven Legion had came and gone over the winter, leaving behind a plentiful supply of food to a fortress that could barely feed itself. That night, nearly all the Dorfs in the fort had raised a toast to Lumen Padspoons and The Dented Confederacy as they tore into fish, meat, and various kinds of hearts.

Vabok's stomach grumbled up at her, bringing her out of her revery. With a sigh, she turned and headed for the stairs back down into the fort. But before she got there, a Dorf popped his head above the floor level and shouted. "A Vile force of Darkness has arrived! We're under Siege! All Dorfs to the Entrance Hall!"

Her hunger forgotten, Vabok dove down the stairs until she reached the floor that was known as the Entrance Hall. It was actually little more than the first dirt hole that had been dug into the side of the mountain, and everyone's crap was dumped there. It looked like the entire Fortress had assembled. Vabok noticed that the bridge that had been constructed to act as a gate was still down. Others had noticed this, and a murmur had spread through the crowd.

"Shut up!" Somebody yelled. Vabok looked and saw that it was Amost Judgedfaint, another of the Original Seven. As the Thirty-one dwarves began to quiet down, Amost started talking again. "As you all know, Dark Stranglers have been spotted in the East, and are on their way here. We've been focusing on getting our defenses in order, and haven't been working at all with any of the metals here. So all we have are what you folks have brought with you." Amost reached into one of the weapons bins and pulled out a Cobalt axe. "So arm yourselves with what you can, and get ready to fight! Because we don't have an established military, we're conscripting everyone." She scanned the room, and pointed at two dwarves. "Except for you, Vildang, and you, Onul. You're our best armorers, and I'll be damned if we lose you before you make more than that shiny piece of orichalcum. You go below until we've driven them off."

Amost smiled darkly. "If they kill us all and come for the fort, then I order you now to avenge us."

The two armorers noded and headed for the stairs.

Amost turned back to the rest of the Fortress. "And you guys, let's go! We've got a Fortress to defend!" there was a bit of muttering here and there, not much of it positive. "Metal to smelt!" More muttering, but still not much. "And Booze to swill after!" Amost turned and ran out the door as the cheer that erupted behind her roared out the door, seeming to shake the entire mountain in its intensity.

Far below Vabok could see a recruit that had charged ahead of the group set upon by the ten invading Stranglers. Before anyone could reach him, the Stranglers had ripped his head from his body. Vabok heard someone yell "You and your tiny bollocks can crawl back into the hole they come from." A roar of approval ripped through the charging Dorfs, and the Dorf who had yelled threw himself bodily into the foremost of the Stranglers, sending them both sprawling in a tangle of limbs before slamming to a halt on a rock. The Dorf jumped up, and pointed down at the Strangler. "Bollocks!" he yelled to the rest. "Lookit that one!" With a snarl, the Strangler swiped at the Dorf, but he jumped away easily with a laugh.

And then the battle was fully joined, and Vabok could see nothing more or less than her opponents. She ducked below a punch, and whirled away from the same Strangler's second right arm, dodging through the battle, looking for the Strangler most of the others looked to be targeting.

Another Strangler appeared, and again she jumped away from it. She opened her mouth for a witty retort as she jumped away from yet another attack, but suddenly the earth appeared out of nowhere. The quip she had been just about to unleash vanished as she slammed into the ground. The Strangler brought his foot down to stomp her face in, but she rolled out of the way, only to be brought to yet another abrupt halt by another piece of the mountainside that appeared out of nowhere.

She tried to get to her feet, but she felt a fist strike her left thigh from behind her, and it sent her tumbling once more, before being brought to yet another abrupt halt. "Stupid Mountain!" she yelled to nobody. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to her knees. A quick glance behind her showed that the Stranglers were all otherwise occupied. There were dead from both sides littering the bloody battlefield.

Vabok rolled over and sat for a moment, grimacing in pain from the punch she had received. Then she lurched to her feet and back towards the battle. A Strangler appeared from nowhere, and bit her chest. She screamed and tried to wrench away, but the teeth refused to budge. The beady little eyes glared up at her. Vabok glared back. With a mighty wrench, she pulled herself away from the Strangler, and caught herself on her arms. As she got back up, she ducked underneath one of the recruits, who was being shaken by his right foot. She composed herself and charged back into the battle, dodging a spray of blood.

A Strangler dove for her feet, and she leaped over it, but not before a pair of blows knocked her onto her side.  Vabok goraned and got to her feet, both feet aching. She turned to face the Strangler she had just jumped over, and charged. This time the Strangler dodged out of the way, but raked its claws against her torso. She cried out in pain, then screamed as the Strangler bit where its claws had left their mark. For a moment, everything faded away.

Everything was brought back into Adamantine clarity by Amost's bellow. "You killed him you bastards!" The Military Commander screamed. "Akrul! No!" Vabok's head cleared, and shoved the Strangler away. She threw a punch, but the Strangler jumped back. The Strangler



Vabok stood at the top of the mountain, looking down at the Stranglers down below as they made their way up. Their four arms reaching forward eagerly. "This is it, Dorfs! Let's show The Brigands of Strapping what it means to  " Amost yelled at the top of her lungs. "For the booze!" And with that, Amost barreled her way down the side of the mountain. Sometimes she looked like she was running, sometimes like she was falling, but she kept moving towards the Stranglers.


The battle raged on for hours, neither side wanting to give up, neither side seeming to gain an advantage. Dwarves and Stranglers rose and fell, blood from both mixing and slowly draining down the mountain. Amost Judgedfaint whirled through the battle, swinging her Cobalt axe wildly, driven by pure rage. Already one Strangler had been felled by her fury. Akrul was dead. And all that mattered was avenging him.

With a roar, she dove into the middle of the fray, throwing Dorfs and Stranglers in every direction. Only one thing mattered now--getting to the lead Strangler. Maybe if she killed him, it would drive the Stranglers off. And suddenly there he was--the Strangler known as Adventuresilent, fighting Vabok. Amost charged forward, her axe raised. Adventuresilent saw Amost, and grinned wickedly.

Before Amost could do anything, Adventuresilent bit down hard on Vabok's head, and shook the Dwarf violently. Amost's friend's body sailed off, and the Strangler stood there with Vabok's head in its mouth, a mocking grin on its stupid face.

Just before the world went red, Amost took great pleasure in feeling her axe thunk into the Strangler's cranium, and watched as Vabok's hea dropped to the ground with a horrified expression on her face.

Welp, that's the first siege driven off. 5 of my Founders are dead, along with a Fishermen who was providing the fortress with plenty of food. On the plus side, my fortress will be more than ready to fend off the next siege.  I have to say, Legends Viewer and Storymaker were VERY Helpful in helping me piece together what happened. The battle raged so long that some of the battle reports from people that died in the start of the battle had nothing in them. When I exported my battle reports to a text document, it was 137 pages long in MS Word.

Out of the 25 surviving Dorfs, 14 need a Diagnosis of one kind or another. I have been 100% focused on getting the volcano floored and walled off that I've been ignoring bedrooms, etc, so people are extra miserable on top of having seen their friends slaughtered. New priority is getting the hospital running (yay for 3 Gypsum rocks I brought with me at embark), getting splints and (more) buckets made up, and getting Dorfs back to work.

Thankfully all but 2 Dorfs only have bruising. One of the two more seriously injured dorfs has trouble grasping, and the other can't stand and can't grasp.

Summer Year 3 brought me 4-5 metal oriented Dorfs, including a pair of Armorers. I managed to get an Orichalcum Right Gauntlet, with a picture of a battle between Orcs and a honey badgerman (picture was called "The Meditations of Spearing"), and the other image was "The Unthinkable Stigma", a picture of another Oricalchum Right Gauntlet named Dentglorify.

Oh, and the reason I didn't close my bridge is because I need one more gear to make it close, and I want to finish up walling/flooring off my volcano forging area. Next major project is skilling up an engraver by smoothing and engraving the floors and (some of) the walls of the forge area. The unengraved walls will be turned into fortifications.

Time to get the forges heated up, and get some legendary armorers and weaponsmiths....and turn that raw glass we got last time into some dangerous traps.



Welp, there goes Amost. Poor girl. Lost her lover and her friend in the siege. At least she didn't go Beserk. *only* stark raving mad. I'm down to 1 dwarf out of the original 7 now (I assume Amost is going to die soon ), Bembul Kadolzag, a Legionnaire. Bembul and Amost were the only ones to get 2 kills in the siege. And, considering Bembul is a soldier, I'll probably have no survivors of the founders within a few years.

Time to get Bembul some high quality Steel armor.
