Who is currently going? Seems we have come to a stop and I'm wondering if we should have someone begin or if the current person is just on a really long epic adventure.

You seem to be under the impression that we're playing some game other than dwarf fortress. It doesn't matter how powerful you make a creature, we will find a way to destroy it. God is dead, and Urist killed him.

You need to reach one of the mountain halls of the Watchful Rag at the southern end of the Bronze Towers.

Here. The red circle is the target; the blue circle is where we seem to be starting for the most part. I know I started in that nation as did Uggi.

So providing we start from the civ that Ubiq and Uggi started from, we just need to head 'more or less southwest'.

It's really very easy to do screenshots.

Alt + PrntScrn

Paste into Paint, save as a JPG or PNG (png preferable for better quality), go to

Imgur.com or img.ie and drag the images onto the site

Link them with the 'BBcode link' and they'll show up here.

Pretty much. The best possible scenario is to start in the Romantic Empire as it's within the swamps just east of the Bronze Towers. That test adventurer I made back before Orky started was generated in the yellow plains towards the bottom, but that was one of several worlds I made in an attempt to get the local dwarven civ back in the Valley of the Dwarves.  I've never even bothered to check if there are humans in the region in the world I finally wound up using for this.

Ubiq, quick question.
When the time finally comes to embark on the mountainhome and start the fort off... Obviouslly we will need to use the 'Embark Anywhere' mod.
Well... Is there a mac version of it? If not, someone will have to do the intial embark, and then send the file to me for starting the fort going.

Also... On a test fort earlier in that area, the temp seems to go from "Hot" to "Scorching".
I have heard of Dwarves freezing to death in cold biomes.  Will we have to worry about heat stroke or sun burn in this area?

Nish didn't seem to have any problems with the weather while walking around. It rained on him once or twice and he didn't melt.

Far as Embark Anywhere goes, no idea as I don't use any utilities besides Perfect World.

How are you at breaching aquifers in a biome that doesn't freeze by the way? The layer stone in the vicinity of the Watchful Rags is conglomerate.

I'd love to go after Corai, if nobody has already claimed the slot.

We may want to do some test runs using perfect world, seeing if we can embark on the mountain home without issue.

Also Aquifer should not be a problem. I often find in mountain areas there is a way past the aquifer.  Usually they do not go too far into a mountain.  If they do...
Well I don't know if it still works, but if you carve out a large block and let it drop, dows it still puncture through the layer allowing you to dig inside?

Also Niyazov...
The current list is on the front page, right now it is closed sadly.
If someone drops out or skips a turn a slot may open up.
