Erm wrong thread mate.

i thought it was a discussion about starting in year 2......

[WillowLuman]

Did you read the thread beyond the title?

[omg_scout]

I think that he hits the nail and you guys have massively derailed:P

[melkor]

What is this post about?

This post is a form of a succession fortress,
But instead of instantly going to fortress mode we have a few special goals

First, the world is only 10 years old, this means that nothing has really happened.
So going to fortress mode the engravings and crafts will be very boring.
But, as stated before we will not first go to fortress mode but adventure mode instead.
This means that we will be the heroes, all the engravings and crafts will be about our adventures. We the goal is to get to the valley of the dwarfs, and when we get there you must retire.
Then we repeat this till there are 7 dwarfs, then and only then shall we start the fortress, making it the first fort at ‘the dawn of time’

this is from the first post.


as hugo stated: "did you read the thread beyond the title?"

[omg_scout]

Consider it is not "community fortresses" subforum. Also, I've read (almost) entire thread and generally agree with you.

[flabort]

Oh, maybe once upon a time it was maybe about the general idea, not what it is now...
But as it hasn't been moved yet, and doesn't seem likely to, and this is something cool to read anyways, it's probably going to stay.

I do say it's probably OK to add content such as your own, but you should probably make sure there's a bit more context. Such as "I was inspired by this thread to start my own year =<10 fort, and started with..." or "I started a fort at the beginning of my world too, and...". It may be up to the OP whether it's actually OK to do that, but that's what I think.

Consonart! We need Uggi back!

No worries, it's just like when he was an adventurer.

3rd Hematite 15

Well finally the lazy broker appears at the depot and we can get into business with the elves!

Stuff bought from elves: clay, wood, cages, animals (a giant tiger, a giant eagle, a water buffalo), flour, seeds, dye, sand bags, berries and thread.

And then the tigerman. I don't know what she ever did to the elves, but they had her caged. I told the broker to buy her free and release her. I don't want to speak directly with the elves. They might have heard about the little incident me and Ettad had with them a few years ago.





I noticed this in the pile of trinkets sold to the elves. I've heard some scary tales about this bull, I'm sure of it.




9th Hematite 15

The tigerman was released. She seems happy to be free and likes to hang out with idle dwarves in our dining room.




15th Hematite 15

Meanwhile, our legendary cook has been busy with the dragon. Here's the result:



What's left of the dragon is some bones and a pile of dragon tallow. We'll have some luxury soap in no time.


17th Hematite 15

The elves are leaving. While our squads are gathering up to escort the elves safely outside, Nish spots a kobold thief trying to sneak inside. The kobold manages to give him a nasty cut and then runs away screaming.





The kobold is blazingly fast, but Noface is even faster. He reaches the kobold outside our walls and then proceeds to dismember it calmly. I arrive to the scene just in time to witness what he does to the poor kobold.



This all reminds me of Ettad, and his deep hatred towards living beings. I stop to wonder where he is in these times. I miss that crazy human, even though I remember being very scared of him.


19th Hematite 15

While the rookie squad is escorting the elves, another kobold thief is spotted. This one actually got inside the fort before anyone could notice it. Well, unlucky for it the only way out is now blocked by our squad.



The kobold tries to run through, but only ends up having both my sword and Orky's battle axe lodged tightly into its skull. I'm not really sure how that happened, but we sure looked silly trying to yank our weapons free.






1st Malachite 15

We had elections and a new mayor was chosen. The previous one will naturally be evicted from his opulent throne room. The new mayor, Edem Iddeg, instantly made a mandate: forge a mace. Happy to fulfill your wishes, Edem.


5th Malachite 15

The miners have finally constructed a trap for Malduz, the beast roaming in the caverns. We'll try to lure it in with a low-quality statue of dwarves. Hopefully it'll try toppling the statue over and we'll have some time to trap it between the drawbridges. Armok help us if it doesn't work.




8th Malachite 15

Our bowyer has crafted some nice and very light wooden crossbows from the feather trees bought from the elves, so I'm assembling the fortress squad. It will be known as Knives of Shooting. The captain of the guard, Torrasque II, will lead it. One of the rookies from the Helmed Decisions will be moved to this new squad, as she's one of the best crossbow users we've got. Two peasants with some crossbow experience will join them.

Ashenroughness got his name and enemy status by kicking Torrasque's sidekicks to death before being sent to Yak Hell by Torrasque.
