Keeping as little details in it as possible

Rest assured, no one will want to enter it.

No one.

[Eric Blank]

Are you willing to put your money where your mouth hands are?

Also, I found an incredibly deep river canyon here.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That's not even the bottom of the canyon. I climbed down; it's a total of 34 z-levels from where I am standing on top the ice to the cliff above. Holy carp.

I call dibs

I haven't even made it to GIH's fort yet, but not for lack of trying. It's several days' travel from anything and everything an adventurer could interact with besides frigid temperatures and numerous rivers to cross.

Will Tools like Embark Anywhere be allowed?

[Eric Blank]

The rules don't make exceptions normally, but I can't see anyone making any sort of argument against Embark Anywhere (or Just Embark which is functionally identical)

I look forward to spending 3 RL days trekking across a mountain range to get to your fort
Just don't bother embarking in an ocean; DF hates oceans and it'll spawn your dorfs trapped in slade deep underground, at which point savescumming/force-closing DF is advisablepretty much mandatory just to avoid such a weird occurrance existing in the game save.
Embarking on the shores of the high mountain lakes is pretty fun though, besides the lack of invaders.

I can't see anyone arguing against embarking on top of natural areas (high mountains, etc.), but I don't think embarking on necromancer towers or human towns should be allowed. Although... having a dwarven quarter in the human capitol city might be interesting, so long as sieges are turned off (so as to prevent the death of historical figures).

[Eric Blank]

That's true. I wasn't thinking about the exploitability of other sites... Yeah, let's avoid letting that happen without explicit permission

Hm, some may object to my planned use of it, perhaps. I was planning to use it in case you can't embark along a road in vanilla.
My reasons to embark along a road shall remain secret. I want my fortress to be a secret until I finish...

[DS]

You can, in fact, embark atop roads and bridges.

Digging designations : Complete

Considering whether or not to release pics...

Edit;


What

[orius]

Should players post what civilization they're playing as?  That might be useful information with the new training changes.

[Loud Whispers]

I've embarked as Dwarfs. Any idea why it says I cannot produce these items?

Quite worryingly, it now says I cannot produce drinks as well. Even though I'm still capable of brewing loads!

Also, I think no adventuring should be done with the save you intend to upload;
Found some injured humans running away from something.

Dwarf necromancer invading a town.

This world is a bit odd

[Spish]

Not sure why. Never seen or even heard of that happening, ever. I did a test reclaim of the Pit of Depths, and I was able to make items just fine. My first thought was 'too many items to fit in the save", but that doesn't seem right to me.

I did however notice that Girlin didn't apply any of the 34.05 raw updates, as it still gives you the b_detail errorlog.

[Loud Whispers]

1. How much time do I have?
2. I have Dwarfs over the age of a thousand. I don't recall the starting 7 being vampires, so I assume someone changed the maxage?

[Spish]

1. Assuming you started on the 22nd, you have 8 days. Maybe an extra one since you started late in the afternoon.

2. Aye, we had to make dwarves/humans semi-immortal. Because once a person is born in DF land, their age of death is hard-coded into their DNA; so removing aging after worldgen was not an option.

[Girlinhat]

That's DFHack acting up.  Go into workflow and disable those.  That was my previous workflow orders I was using to keep my stocks above a certain level.
