The Fort Review threads have always been good fun, but I've never been really good at them because I can't read the default tileset in DF very well (DFMA is also a bit of a lost cause for me). Given that there are many out there that do use tilesets (especially given the ease of accessibility with the Lazy Newb Pack) I'm putting together a Fort Review thread using a tileset, as well as having some extra features and quiz questions. Hopefully we'll all have a rollicking good time. If you don't want to do the quiz, but do want to make some comments/observations, feel free to do so.
Update: By popular (100% of the commenting audience) request, I've also posted default graphic images for your viewing pleasure. These images are located further down in the thread.
Background Information on the Fort - A variety of nonpictorial information that should provide some context.
Images of the Fort - A series of z-level images capturing the interesting parts of the fort.
Quiz Questions - A try your luck series of questions to evaluate your dwarfiness. Socks of various degrees of quality are available for participants. The questions have a wide range of difficulty, some are obvious, some are straightforward if you catch the relevant clues in the information provided, some will require hunches based upon your years and DF knowledge and subtle clues hidden in the information, and some will require pure dwarven psychic powers to guess correctly. I'll score each quiz and announce the results every now and then. Complete answers to the quiz will be given in a few days once everyone who is interested gets a chance to take the quiz without being tempted to cheat.
I hope you enjoy it, so let's begin.
