Well, that was a disaster. I'm just going to go ahead and let someone else give that save a try. DS you're up next right?

[Poindexterity]

what happened?

[Eric Blank]

Did your fort die in the first 20 minutes of gameplay?

[DS]

Eeechhh... I was hoping for a little more time before I started, but I can take it if starshard0 wants to pass.

Btw starshard, what happened? Inquiring minds want to know.

EDIT:

Also, my game is crashing upon tryign to start an adventurer. this happening for anyone else?

I just tried, and it worked fine for me. Strange.

EDIT 2:
Where is the lair function in DFhack, in case I decide to retire my fort? I'm familiar with the "mode" utility, by which one simply switches to arena mode, takes possession of a unit, then switches to adventure mode and leaves/retires... is there another method I'm not aware of?

EDIT 3:
So, uh, has anyone else noticed this?

looks like a nice place

[Eric Blank]

I most certainly did notice that, while admiring the vast number of towers that crop up repeatedly and without care for the history seed in that section of the world

[DS]

So wait, I'm confused. Should I just go ahead and start my turn?

[Eric Blank]

Sounds like it. He hasn't said anything more than to let you go ahead...

[DS]

Alright, I'll start in today.

Well, that is quite surprising

[DS]

I've decided I'm not going to bother with that part of the map. Someone else can screw with it, but I'd recommend against it, unless you can come up with something more interesting/challenging than the towers themselves - which, I must admit, I haven't gotten the chance to toy around with yet in this version.

Instead, I'm going to construct a goblin fortress.

Just checked out another thread, and I got quite a shock:

Any immigrant with Dabbling skills is guaranteed to be a refugee from some past failed fortress mode game and they will retain any positive or negative thoughts and even their ON BREAK status. Fortresses that fail spectacularly and are abandoned can become a serious drag on future fortresses when their inhabitants arrive at your new forts as shellshocked wrecks a hairsbreadth from tantruming. That's why when you want to abandon a fort that is hitting a spiral, consider ensuring that there are no survivors .

Apparently immigrants from older forts come as they are, so to speak. That is, with all the mental baggage they picked up in their previous home.
I'm not sure if this is news to y'all. However, I have a feeling that this enterprise has just gained another dose of *interesting*.

[DS]

Things went wrong at Devilfire. The goblins could not stand up against a human siege, followed up by a powerful titan.

But, as of the completion of my turn, the save has exceeded 100 kilobytes, which is, of course, surpasses the limit of DFFD. Where will we continue hosting the save now?

[Eric Blank]

I suppose we could use Mediafire...

Really got the save above 100kb that fast? It's because you've all been packaging the entire 34.05 directory.

Well that would only shave a few off the top. Oliolli's file, when extracted, is 492mb, the save itself is 423.

By the time this gets to me, we'll be sending a flash drive via post.
