What was the name of the area we plan to embark in? There's a Joyous Wilds Scorching area, but that has an aquifer.

There's the 'Plain of Sweltering', a Scorching Tropical Savanna Wilderness. That has a stream but no aquifer, so it should be good.

Most of the areas around the stream in the Plain of Sweltering, besides having easy access to water, have soil -> deep metal -> flux. Even better. Also, the stream is Mergedcheese the Conjunction of Horns.

(It would not be hard to divert the path of the stream into an underground tank.)

Here oyu go, its a bit back into the mountains, there is a stream in it as well.

We are embarking directly on the city you see in the middle down at the bottom

[Reudh]

Orright, found it. Embarked a little while into the town.

DERP, there's nothing here. Abandoning and embarking further in.


Alright.

There's no sign of life besides our dwarves, and there's also no sign of a brook. I'm going to start digging around, see if it's underground.

[Crossroads Inc.]

Well keep in mind Dwarf towns don't Exist yet in the ga,e. so there Would be no other Dwarves, just empty space, part of the point is we will be building the city that "Is" there

[Reudh]

I also dug around and found no brook. I could do a half town-half-brook embark.

[Crossroads Inc.]

OK do that and send screenshots, we'll see what we have to work with.

[Reudh]

Here we go.

First of all we have the image of the wagon and the brook. Zoomed out to fit on the same screen. The brook just STOPS when it meets the dwarven town. Nothing. It's still flowing though, I guess given it's a brook it won't dry out.

Spoiler: The brook stops here, bucko. (click to show/hide)

Second, we have the cliffs. All around, our entire embark is pretty much this. Limonite, marble and microcline. Luridly coloured chairs and steel weaponry for all!

Spoiler: Sweet! (click to show/hide)

Finally, we have the brook itself. An interesting curved shape there. Very easy to nick a hole in the left side of that brook to make a reservoir, the pressure alone should fill it quickly.

Spoiler: Here's our brook. (click to show/hide)

Thanks for the pics Reudh.

It looks like the outside for our city won't exactly be spectacular...
Mostly Flat and Hot, few trees or bushes.

Of course a huge flat space gives us a good place to build something massive and Dwarfy if we want
I have this feeling that, being we are in the middle of a Desert, and keeping in the tradition of doing the opposite of things, we will end up having some sort of 'Water park" in the middle of the desert.

Waterfalls, pools, dwarf made rivers

Also, Limestone and Iron in massive supply is kick ass.

Are there any Taller hills in the area I wonder? Would be ncie to have some sort of mountain to build around for the look of the thing.

It's more like an arid plain by the looks of it. With that climate, I'm thinking it would be similar to one of the great Mediterranean cities. We could have a sort of Sparta or Troy or Alexandria.

[Crossroads Inc.]

I like the idea of Troy and Alexandria as modles for our city..
This is going to be the "First" great Dwarf City in the history of the world, so thinking of it in terms of some great ancient city will work well.

I think one of the first things will be to expand the river, maybe to make an artificial beach for our city

Sweet. Been lurking for a bit, this thread inspired me to try adventure mode. Love it.

Been doing pretty good, staying alive pretty well, if you open up slots, I'd love to take a crack at it!

[Aseaheru]

im going lurking

[Aseaheru]

and i am nolonger lurking.


who are the gods?
and can i see the migrants info?

[Crossroads Inc.]

No migrants yet/...
Reudh's embark was just a test case.
The "Real" fort won't start till we get Seven Heros alive to that location\.

Not sure about the gods yet, could check legends.

[Aseaheru]

phhhh.
