You don't HAVE to start as the same civ we will embark as. As long as you retire in their site, you will become a member of that civ.

I sincerely hope this is true, because if it is we might actually be able to finish the adventurer part of this project before we all die of old age.

Dwarfs live for about twice as long as a human, so I don't think old age will be a problem :P

So long as it doesn't take seventy game years or so for us to finish, Nish should be fine.

Actually, what year are we up to now anyway? 10 or 11?

In the new version, it doesn't seem to advance the game by a year every time an adventurer starts.

Only ONE has lived so far.
And yeah, despite all the deaths, there has been less then a year of 'Real time" that has gone by.
So trying a whole lot isn't effecting the game that much.

Someone needs to start up a random adventure game, retire inside and town, and see if starting under a different civ makes a differeance or not.

If not... We can start up at ones much closer for better chance of living.
Also.. Anyone else agains using "saves" to keep people alive?

Melkor’s log 20th moonstone
This is insane I am not a fighter nor am I a explorer, yet they send me to a far away outpost. But staying here doesn’t help as well. Everywhere I go these day all I see are abandon houses. They say my job is to lead a small group of dwarfs, I hope they know what there doing.

Melkor’s log 26th moonstone
Today I am being send of, I have been given little time to train with a spear and a shield I have been given a extra dagger to throw but not much else.


This page is sodden with blood.
My arm   he tore my arm of.

A aligator attack me…. At first it went  well, I stabed the beast and it fled but I had to pursue it. Then it came around and tore my left arm of. I make it to my dagger and was able to throw it through his head.

I haven’t made it barley out of the town and already I am dying.

Ooh, I don't know. All I can say is that was a very, very lucky kill with that dagger there. :D

Especially for a Dabbling Thrower. :P

If you can, pick up the body and take it with you, that is if its the body of one of Our heros.

Ugh, alligators. They're extremely deadly to dwarves until they get up in the demigod territory.

Make sure that you go into ambush mode well before crossing any river and look down before you start to cross.

melkor's log 26th moonstone
I am trying to find shelter for the night but then some dingo think I am a tasty meal. I ran for it as hard as a could I dropped my shield and my left glove no need for them anymore anyway. But they are still faster.

I can’t remember anything… one moment I was running for my life, and now… I am standing I the middle of 4 dead indigo.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I need to rest I must find shelter.

Finally a cave where I can sleep, its already night time.
Wait are… are those bones and.. fat.
Hello is somebody there?  As I walk forward I see something glowing.
There used to be a campfire here.

Melkor’s log 27th moonstone
The night was horrible, I kept hearing sounds from the surface. I hope it’s safe to travel again.

Melkor’s log 28th moonstone
I have been traveling through the mountains, the progress is slower then I first thought. I was able to find a cave to sleep in but It was far away and had to walk to the east away from my goal.
I have found snow, this concerned me greatly because it will be harder to get water.

What…what was that?

Oh bloody hell, a ROC!
If you Die Melkor, make sure to mark the spot so we can go back there.
If you live.. You will be a LEGENED
