Testing hack embark, almost done.

[uggi]

I tried a 10x10 embark covering the whole area of Silverysects (in this map tile). I found no rivers. The area marked with 0's on the height map where there should be a river, is just a flat area.

Spoiler: 10x10 (click to show/hide)

Looking at the 7x7 area just north of Silverysects, you can see that a brook (not a river) ends where Silverysects begins:

Maybe it's a bug, maybe a feature. Maybe the brook just happens to end there.

All the items and corpses we left on the area are on the bottom left corner. If you do a 4x4 embark on the corner, the items are in the middle of it. So if you want to cover both the items and a bit of a brook, you need a 7x9 embark about here:

Okay, hack embark works! The only problem is, it's extremely laggy. The sheer amount of items (especially on Nish) and the 6x6 are probably just too much. I'm going to try again, this time destroying the millions of random sharpened rocks and anaconda teeth.

Sorry for double post



Hmm, can't seem to get the hack to work a second time on switching back to fort mode.

I think we should stick with a 4x4 embark. Standard community game fare. Water'll be in the caverns, but we haven't 'discovered' caverns yet.

You kids are crazy, you know that?

[Urist McLaptop]

Why?

[krenshala]

You kids are crazy, you know that?

Yes.  Yes, we are. But its one of the best kinds of crazy a person can be, dontcha think?

I'd say file the river thing as a bug.  While we aren't supposed to embark there, it should have a river running through it still instead of being flattened by the city selection code during world gen.

[WillowLuman]

Check upstream, might be a problem with the whole river. I've seen rivers running through dwarf sites before, not to mention having crossed a few in a goblin site during my turn.

Just DFHack in a river source, and be done with it.

yeah, after playing for a bit it isn't THAT bad working just on the top.
Making berry farms is pretty easy and theres a LOT of cactus and palm wood for barrels. 

Playing with "Story" We may breach the caves near the end of the first year,  I have poked around them already and have an AWESOME spot picked out that will be perfect to carve an Epic Moria Dwarf City.

Wed is my Day out of the office, I'm going to redownload the map and (gasps)
START THE GAME FOR REALZ!!!

[WillowLuman]

Yay!

So, you want to do it with Uggi's save, or with a hacked save (no resources still, but start with the heroes.)?

[Crossroads Inc.]

Going to do it with Uggi's no sense in taking risk with Hacks corrupting the game file or something...
SO!!!

This will be it! For those who will be playing at some point... Remember our current goals...
Huge monuments to the Dwarven (and human heros) who fell on the way to Silverysects.
Turning the desert as wet as possible (IE huge lakes everywhere, Waterfalls and such)
Building an Epic "underworld" (huge open caverns, Moria like halls and such)
And of course making it a real "Mountainhome" by getting a king.

[WillowLuman]

Just remember to savescum to get as many heroes as possible per migrant season!

[krenshala]

we shouldn't need to savescum since our heros are closer to the site than any other member of the civ, right?
