We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

Lost track of this for a few days, was fully expecting to come back to a smoldering ruin. I did not.

FOR SHAME.

If it makes you feel any better we still lost a few guys in the last couple attacks.

Finaly read through all of the over 9000 posts. (I was so dissapointed when none of you made that joke)

It would seem that this place posseses the curse of sudden, involuntary sex change.

If it makes you feel any better you aren't the only one that's happened to.

Must be the dfhack clean command... I bet the ghost inherited gender of someone removed from the list earlier. Or perhaps I just don't understand the dfhack.

You may have misread. Dreamerghost is the name, not what they are. Dreamerghost is alive and well.

Right... *facepalm*

Hence why I called it a fortress wide curse instead of personal afliction. Poor jackborgs.

Ok guys, just a heads up, we're nearing the end and are about halfway through Obsidian. Sorry I've been taking so long. Been doing a bunch of things, including my own regular fort-play and playing a game with a friend.

Being that I have come upon this thread far too late, I'm a tad lost on what exactly is going on. From what I understand, this was a succession fortress using a modded game of Dwarf Fortress that was intended to be a sequel to Syrupleaf (which I also have not read), though it appears now to be more of a community fort. In addition, the 600+ pages of material are a bit intimidating. Perhaps someone could fill me in?

[Splint]

The only reason it seems like community fort is because often times people were unable to take their turns or in one case did their turn and failed to produce a write-up, so I received permission in these incidents to keep things mostly running.

Basic version is this fortress and several others were founded as sort of release valves, easing population pressures due to constant famines and getting the less stable elements out of already established fortresses with the added goal of thinning the hoards of invaders from East Everoc (where Boatmurdered, Syrupleaf, and Headshoots reside, and hence where the spawn and mountain barbarians originate.) Over the course of the fort's life it has become a focal point for generally strange dwarves, such as the now-deceased Aussieevil (who may or may not have been a vampire) and the sneaky Terrahex, to blood rain, to a full blown multidimesnional war between many small factions and two (or three if counting Eris as one rather than a small but very active faction) megacorps.

Highlights include a zombie assault that nearly wrecked the fort (and instilled in me a fear of necromancers so great I often don't gen worlds with them,) several military disasters, a giant metal middle finger being built, hell being invaded and subsequently having a palace (kinda) built in it, a noble that wasn't a complete idiot, a guinea pig obsessed jack-of-all-trades, a cyborg dwarf, and a mayor named after a character from (if I remember right) Firefly.

Interesting. The fort has been the same fort for the entire playthrough, correct? That is quite impressive.

[Splint]

Err.... Define "The same."

[Aseaheru]

No restarts.

[Gnorm]

Err.... Define "The same."

Continuous fortress, with or without reverting to older saves.
