Bookhold: The Great Libray (Reboot)
« on: June 14, 2016, 09:00:29 am »

The Great Library

In the cold depths of the Mountainhomes, a young dwarf dreams. Dreams of books. Books of history. Books of art. Books of fiction. Books, books, and more books. In his society, physical prowess is valued above that of mental ability. He and his six like-minded friends decide to apply for a land grant. After a week of preparation and waiting, he recieves his permission directly from the king! Though he has no experience outside of his books, his friends are more able-bodied than him. They agree on a vague direction and set off. The wide open world excepts them, though whether it tolerates them is matter that only time can tell.

This is my first attempt at a purely solo, community fort. So, in-between managing Doomforest (you should check it out if you haven't), and other forts, I will work on this. I will update it every weekend.

Dorfing Rules:
  Like other Community Forts, you may request a dorfing, but, unlike other Community Forts, I will only dorf dwarves who have fulfilled a mood. I will then name them Professor of (insert product of mood here, i.e. when a dwarf completes, say a mug, it will then be named, Professor of Brewing).

Objectives:
  • Collect a copy of every book in this world
  • Collect a copy of all poetry
  • Build a Library that could rival any that exist in RL
  • Create an Adamantine Codex
  • Grow Strawberries in Hell

So, wish me luck, I'll gen the world
Parameters:
Large World
Medium History
Max Civs
Max beasts
Max Savagery
Frequent Minerals

I originally started this idea back in 2015, but RL and other forts stole my attention, but now I'm free and I will now continue this forgotten dream.

Put me on the "Dwarfed when Professored" list.

Fucking hell man, you aren't just getting the short end of the stick, you're being beaten with it.

Is your plan really to flush water into hell, and have the CARP marines fight them without threat of flame or disease?  If so, you are awesome, and one of the greatest DF military visionaries I've seen yet ( not that I've seen that many, or any, for that matter )
