In the arcane and long-forgotten early days of Lathonsul, the Mythical Realms...




   In those bygone ages of the world, where the land lay cloaked in mystery and magicks...



                                         





                                                     When terrible beasts and fearsome daemons still stalked the darkened corners of the world..











Before the great emperors and magistrates raised their boundless stone halls under the vaunted peaks...










Still before the great warlords and goblin-kings of yore ever raised their vast armies for centuries of toil and endless bloodshed...










                                                                       There was only...












                                                             


                                                                        HARVEST DWARF

                                     

Background

This point of Harvest Dwarf is to create a fully-functioning surviving medieval style agricultural community in Dwarf Fortress. This is the second iteration, the first was fairly successful and can be found here. In keeping with this theme, there will be various restrictions and goals which will be different from your average fort. These will be enumerated in the rules/goals section. Role playing is encouraged! Happy Farmin'!

The Rules/Goals

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I

(i) Turns are one year.

(ii) No digging more than 1 Z-level below ground. That means buildings can have a basement for storage purposes.
You can also use that level for mushroom farming. Basements should not exceed the dimensions of their structures.

II. The first rule should have made this obvious, but no mining either. Any materials one would usually have to acquire through mining should be imported instead.

III. Each dwarf should get his or her own house. Families will live in the same house. Each house should have a basement, with stores of clothes, food, and tools.

IV. Royalty/nobles should be given more luxurious holdings, such as houses of imported stone. They should be larger, and given additional protection(such as a wall.)

V. No professional military. Dwarves should keep weapons in their houses, and be ready to called for duty should the need arise.

VI. We should aim to have a full agricultural economy running. We should be growing most varieties of crops, farming several varieties of animals, hunting, spinning, crafting, etc. As this is an agricultural community, our success will be measured in volume/value of our exports as well as in survival.

VII. In general, try to make the community as 'real' as possible. Avoid exploits, don't just take the shortest route - do what makes the town the most alive.


VII. As mentioned above, role playing is welcomed, and encouraged! Even if you aren't mayor, writing journal entries or the like really helps to flesh out the game.

Just post to get added to the mayor's/dwarfing list. If you don't begin your turn within 3 days of it being assigned, you will be passed over. Once you have started your turn, check in at least once per week, and finish your turn within 3 weeks. If you take longer or do not check in, you will be passed over.

Ok good to know.

Hmm. So where does the Dwarven Caravan come from then? And I'd like a Dwarf please. Call him Tasrak. Make him the town blacksmith.

Or, just give me a random farmer.

[utilitarian]

I'll assume that anyone who wants to be mayor'd also wants to be dorf'd, no?

Hmm. So where does the Dwarven Caravan come from then?

That, my friend, is what we call a plot hole.

[HiritconOvermindGibbross]

I'll give it a turn but can some one dwarf me as the town cook/manager because I don't know how to dwarf people.   

Edit: any male dwarf will do.

Your link back to the first Harvest Dwarf seems a little broken.

Anyhow, the prospect of taking a turn at this fort any time soon isn't looking so good. School's back in full force and I haven't had time to play Dwarf Fortress at all. Still, I wouldn't mind claiming a dwarf. Same requirements as before:

I'd like a hunter named Kirby. Custom Profession: Dragon Hunter. If there are no hunters, assign a random skill-less (or mostly skill-less) migrant to the profession. I'm sure I'll live for a good month lifetime.

I've added you two to the OP, and fixed the link. I've tacked on Broseph Stalin's name to the mayor's list for good measure, as he explicitly expressed interest in the last thread.

[HiritconOvermindGibbross]

Can I even be the town cook?
If not then I claim the the town butcher.

I don't see why not! 


In all honesty, though, there isn't very much labour specialization until later. For awhile it's going to be a mess of carpenters and woodcutters with people filling in odd jobs as we go along.

Then can you say it for my dwarf in the dwarfing list

Edit: Thanks

[utilitarian]

Well this is going great... 



Had to cancel the first few embarks for various reasons, and now that I am finally ready, my most recent attempt spontaneously combusted.




I'm going to try again in the morning.

[Coolnesstod]

Oh god, thats hysterical, Well thats kinda random, maybe you embarked on a fire titan. Who knows, fun was involved. xD And when you do get a good embark, Dwarf me as a farmer/brewer/hunter.

[utilitarian]

Well, the first post might take awhile as I can't seen to figure out to stop myself from embarking as humans.
