Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

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

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

Damn, looks like we might finally get that ridiculously bloody end we were looking for. For the record though we should try to make sure it is the spawn that kill us off.

[Splint]

The humans will be getting the brunt of the new army's inaugural bloodbath. of course there's also a large number of POWs (spawn and otherwise) that can be used as practice after I finish fast training the new crop of meatshields soldiers.

7th Hematite, 211

Things have been quiet here since the battle last month. Simon's been pushing ot be allowed the same powers that Splint had on the grounds that he left no heir to replace him. Fischer's been doing her best with Dauros and paintbrush discussing what to do with what's left of the military, and they've asked me to look into setting up basic equipment. Paintbrush's loadouts from his ter4m as Overseer, they're all well and good for elites like him, Dauros, or Skitara but the sheer number of raw recruits we'll need to fill everything out is staggering...

I've put out an order for all the veterans to lighten thier kit loads, partly so there'll be enough chain to go around and so they'll have less armor to lug around. it... it may not be the best but we don't have the  numbers to rely on just our stone wall troops anymore.

All units have been largely disbanded to be reequipped and moved around where replacements are needed. I've also made sure the Civil Defense Corps is stripped down to just the bare minimum to protect their vitals so they can book it if they need to. Just some body armor, helmet, and crossbow for them. The Fortress guard is geared up like the frontline troopers though since I expect them to stand and fight.

All squads have since been named as per the whims of the Sergeants that are currently active. Their new recruits will be listed.

I'm going to jam the lot of them into the old training room wether Fischer likes it or not just to make sure they can stand up to the next assault. The spawn aren't going to kill that many dwarves again.

11th hematite, 211

Things are still quiet, but now the barracks are filled again with training soldiers, with Ironheart being first one jammed into the training simulator. The idiot forgot his pike though. Oh well, the weight of his armor and his ability to block attacks is improving rapidly and after the first rounds he staggered out screaming something to the effect of wondering if that deranged mess was what  he soldiers dealt with every time they fought the spawn. Dauros smiled and told him yes, or at least I think he smiled... If the humans show they'll be getting the full might of the fortress thrown at them, as will any stupid barkeater, coalskins, and once-dwarves.

Simon's still trying to exert authority on everything; seems the Duke was keeping the little twat's ambitions in check.

15th Hematite, 211



Another fuck-all abomination to Armok showed up and we locked it out. Mr Frog says it can't fly but it's taken to setting things on fire down there. Dauros will be able to handle it but alot fo the troops are still shuffling around equipment. Ironheart's improving rapidly and should be ready to train with the vets after his next session today.


Sorry this update was so underwhelming. A combination of yardwork, a Masterwork fort, and Saints Row 3 have been rather distracting and I wanted to give you guys something since it's been a bit since an IC update >_< Ironheart forgot his pike probably because the one he was assigned is in a bin being carried around but he's just about legendary in fighting and shield use which will be good enough to carry him through a battle with the humans.

In-game days seems to average about 5 per soldier if Ironheart is a good base to go by for the danger room. If I can jame more in there then that time will of course fluctuate.

[Aseaheru]

Am I still running about or was I killed? I froget.

And if I was killed, who do I have to choose a new twat from?

[Splint]

You were one of the unfortunate ones if memory serves. If you wanna wait for a bit I'm sure a fresh migrant will show up eventually.

[Aseaheru]

Allright. Here is hopeing one has no gods or living relatives...

[Tarqiup Inua]

Did Ergo get drafted? Did she die? Will I have to make another anagram of one of the Star Trek characters?

[Splint]

Your dwarf is fine, you just didn't get drafted by sheer blind luck.

[Dorsidwarf]

Is my engraver fine?

Whatever his name is.

[Splint]

All of the most recent dorfings are alive and well. I can't promise that will remain the case of course.

[TalonisWolf]

@Talvi:
I've pretty much decided that Dorf!Talvi is now Dorf!Mr Frog's crazy stalker :p As you can no doubt see, the last few seasons have been reasonably uneventful, so I've had to make up character-based drama to keep it interesting.

I'm a bit iffy about Dorf!Mr Frog's blowup on 11 Sandstone; in retrospect, it seems a bit out-of-the-blue

Oh, god... Talvi is crushing on Mr Frog now?? o.O   Ehhh, I suppose it makes sense, in a way... she did think he was awesomeness personified. (also, refer to her as Talvi from now on, if that's all right - maybe change her name, I don't know, to make it easier - she's a girl, it'd be better if her name ended with an "i" - sounds more natural of a female name.) Now I'm going to make a journal entry to that effect...

been reading the battlefailed series for entertainment while waiting for my turn, yup were right on par with awesome succession forts for first few years.

Battlefailed is epicness. Pure epicness. If we could match that or come close, then this thread is a success. Ours isn't quite as doomed-from-the-start, but we're doomed, nevertheless... We can't defeat the spawn, only hold them off. Not even a fully candy-coated spearman would stand a chance against an ambush, I think. Our strength is in numbers and training. And mugs.

I have yet to finish this, but let this be a reminder of the glory of Spearbreakers Saga...MUGS.

[Splint]

It sort of grinds to a halt in spots.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I have an unfinished story that goes to the lead-up to Joseph's demise through Eris employee incompetence or Urist's journey to the paradoxically cold mountains of the north, for example.

[Dorsidwarf]

What was my dorm called? I just REALISED I don't know

[Tarqiup Inua]

Do we have an artillery battery? Would be cool to introduce some heavy weapons...

[Splint]

What was my dorm called? I just REALISED I don't know

No name was specified so i named them Dorsidwarf. And no, we don't have one simply because it seems a bit late and we don't really have anywhere to put them.
