I would also like another chance at this.

[kesperan]

Eric, is there any chance you could finish your story? I've not had a lot of time to do a historical reconstruction and I think you visited a few sites.

[Eric Blank]

I can try, I suppose, but no promises.

[Bralbaard]

I'll add you to the list.
Also, I'm downloading the save game for my own turn.

[Bralbaard]

I've finished my turn, and am now writing the story.
here's the save:

Instead of starting at a new site, I've reclaimed one of Timeless Bob's empty sites, Twilightknife. It no longer is empty.
I'll PM Kalsb.

[Kalsb]

Wow, good think I checked today! I have a lot of catching up to do...

Oh man, this is great! This coincides with Spring break!

[kesperan]

Whatever happened to the rest of Atomic Chicken's story? Did anything new get returned to the Museum?

[Timeless Bob]

And slowly but surely, the world unravels a bit more, as entire histories are obscured before they can be known by ANYONE...

[Bralbaard]

I will pm atomic chicken after I post my own turn.. I think I don't have much right to speak as long as I haven't posted mine .

[Kalsb]

I'm having a little bit of trouble with the save... I've extracted it to what I believe is the right directory but when I start the game it doesn't show up. My other two worlds show up just fine though...

[Timeless Bob]

Check to see if you've extracted it to Dwarf Fortress --> data --> save --> region1-glb...  the next folder in should be "raw, followed by "art image", "region", "feature" and "unit" files.  Sometimes my unzipper (7zip) will put the unzipped file into a folder of the same name, so that I have to move the actual save it to my desktop, delete the now-empty folder of the one that used to hold it, then move the save file back to the save folder.  Otherwise, the save doesn't show up.

I may or may not end up asking for a turn but I just wanted to say this thread is great so far!

The save folder is in the same place as my other saves and contains the same items/folder. Does it have to have a specific name?

[Eric Blank]

The name of the folder doesnt matter at all; it just displays whatever the folder is named as the name of the save in the menu, and doesn't track it for any other purpose. Maybe one of the characters in the folder name is invalid for the menu so it can't display it, though? I can't think of any characters windows will let you use in a folder name which DF can't register...

[Timeless Bob]

I often rename the save file so that I can differentiate it from the one I uploaded. (Saves me the embarrassment of accidentally re-uploading the file I downloaded rather than the new save.)
