Since version 0.34.02 is freshly released and hopefully relatively stable now, I think it's time to get a few more succession-forts going. This would be the first one that I've ever created, so tell me if anything is missing. :D


Untitled document of lore, written in the year 250 after Genesis:
Our group called "The Tender Ash of Hopping" is part of "The Gorge of Vipers", an almost extinct dwarven civilization that once resided in the south-east of "The Future Domain". Though dark myths rank around the nations creation (it is said that it was founded by necromancers and that several of our former kings might have been of even darker nature, but that can certainly just be chalked up to elven propaganda) it unfortunately never was an especially mighty or thriving power. In the year 114 the nations constant fight to survive against powerful beasts, mysterious deaths and inner turmoil turned into an even more hopeless struggle as an elven tribe called "The Lauded Lizard" thirsted for dwarven blood and started a ruthless military campaign against our weakened ancestors.

Now, over a century later, all the settlements have fallen and our population has been reduced to a ragtag group of scattered fugitives, who still retain the vanity of military honors over a basically nonexistent army, without even one surviving member of royal blood. The fate of The Gorge of Vipers would be sealed, if it were not for our brave group of seven, which managed to flee to a cursed land only known as "The Sorrow-Dune of Zealots", too remote and dreaded a place to normally be of anyones interest. After crossing the border to the adjacent fertile lands known as "The Clean Hills" we stopped our battered wagon to settle down far of from our natural enemies. To create a grander settlement than our crumbled civilization has ever known, even in it's prime.

Strike the earth, brave survivor's and work and fight for the glory of your new home: WATCHEDGLEAM!


The world is genned in 0.34.02 as a mostly standard medium region, with some minor changes in advanced worldgen. I increased the amount of evil biomes, strongly increased the amount of Titans/Megabeasts (most of them died though...) and slightly increased mineral frequency.

Clean Save of the world after 250 years
The region is partially savage-neutral and savage-evil, which means that we might get evil weather/mist, undeads and evil monsters, but not as frequent and we could still chop some trees and hunt on the surface if we dared. And there is also a Necromancers Tower in range.
Our civilization is, as described in the lore, pretty much done for. There are no more excisting settlements other than our own and the last survivors basically run around in the wilderness and starve. I'm not sure how that will affect the caravans from the mountainhomes and potential nobles, but it might be interesting. I just hope that migrants can arrive from other dwarven civs as well.
And of course there is the war with the elves. ;D

The rules will be classic succession-fort fare, of course. Every player plays for one year and then puts up the save for the next one. Everything goes, except for cheats. Feel free to sign up for a dwarf, a turn or both!

*looks at parameters*

It sounds nice, but aside from me failing at DF (I'm having lots of Fun, yeah) I'm not sure if my craptop can handle that.

Still, a dorf would be nice. Make her a mechanic or something. You can never have enough levers to activate your Fun machine. :D

...thinking about it, screw this, I want a turn too. Just not the first.

I'm not in a position to play, but I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Feel free to add me as some sort of book-keeper/administration later on, if you would please.

Sign me up. I'd prefer to be a metalsmith if possible. Someone who's valuable enough for people to have a vested interest in keeping alive.

Dorf me up!

I probably cant jump in the first round of turns (with the number of players as it stands) however once work settles down (in about 7 or 8 weeks) I definately want in if it is still going!

Prefer a speardorf or a weapon/armor dorf...  Or whatever is needed im not really that fussy =p

EDIT:  Ill post again once I can jump into the turn list.

Okay, I got my starting seven together and embarked. I will most likely really start playing later today and upload my first journal tomorrow.


@Anti-Paragon: I just dorfed you now, but you will have to work on our food for now. :P
The paperpushing will be up to you as well though.

I would really like to see the legends of that world. I like the idea of a bygone civilisation a lot. Reminds me of The Dark Tower-series, except, less guns and more magma, I suppose.

Xanatos will do his to install a rightful respect of traditions.

Dorf me as the sheriff. Sheriff Spishaban. Doubling as a marksdwarf in my spare time. Preferrably as somebody tough, or with fightin' experience. I might as well take a turn too, been a while since I done did a succession fortress.

(Wow, number 6 again? That seems to be my lucky number.)

Been a while since I last did a succession, but since the new version have really wanted to give it a whirl.  I'll take 7 if its open, or whatever is available after that if someone already took it.

I put a link to the world in it's clean state in the opening post, for everyone who wants to take a look at the legends or travel around a bit.
