Nope, that doesn't make any difference whatsoever. I already ran some test embarks after I finished my turn, and I find that with savescumming we can get at least 2 often enough, most heroes I've seen in one wave is 3 (might require truly frustrating amounts of reloading though). With scumming, we could get everyone together by spring of the 2nd year.

The heroes being partially absent for a year could make sense, some of them could be out finding more dwarves and bringing them together.

Don't forget to set the Distinct Artifact as the name of the group along with Silverysects as the name so that it'll match the history.

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.

Among those monuments, we need to build a stone man and at least partially cover it with amethyst windows to reflect the symbol of the Watchful Rags.

More importantly, in light of the name Silvery, shouldn't we have temples built out of silver for each of the gods of the Watchful Rags?

There are nine of them.

  Tobul, deity: earth
  Limul, deity: jewels, mountains, volcanos
  Rakas Tradesold, deity: wealth, trade, fortresses
  Aned Goldgilds the Luck of Matches, deity: gambling
  Gigin the Zenith of Ink, deity: light, the sun
  Tholest Bladedangers, deity: revenge
  As…s, deity: courage
  Aran, deity: thunder, the rain, fertility
  Shedim Hellsubtle the Hole of Deeps, deity: treachery

Nobody ever sees betrayal coming from Shedim; she's subtle as hell. Anyway, Asas, Goddess of Courage, is the deity of the Iteb Glovekissed, King of the Watchful Rags and, obviously, a fan of Spinal Tap so special attention should be paid to her.

Also, looking at the history, we have the King settling there and the rest of the events afterwards are the seven wanderers arriving.

Unfortunately as far as we know there is no SILVER in silverysects...
So we shall have to do with what we have.


Amethyst of course however shall have to be gathered in VAST quantities to properly build a monument to the Civilization...

As far as the Gods and Goddesses go... I vote we Build just a few, chiefly
Rakas Tradesold, deity: wealth, trade, fortresses
Limul, deity: jewels, mountains, volcanos
Asas, Goddess of Courage

Don't know about you, but those by FAR seem the most "Dwarfy"

Also just entering mid summer... Should wrap up the first year and pas it on

Get silver from traders, then mint it into coins, separate the stacks, and melt them. 
50 bars, easy. Rinse and repeat. And any coins you don't melt down, since you're separating the stacks anyways, go into making a coinstar danger room.

If I remember correctly, Silverysects has very large stores of limonite.

[Crossroads Inc.]

First immigration wave has arrived MELKOR would seem to be the first hero to arrive in game.
I'll post my "turn" when the year ends, have a lot of screen shots already and writing up the "Story" for them

[Urist McLaptop]

YAH BABY!*nerd rage*

[melkor]

HAHA my female instinct knows the fort need me now,
does that mean i get the next turn...

We can always import ore and bars. Worst case scenario, we do billon and electrum since those are silver based and available by default.

We could always make minor shrines to the rest with major temples for a few. I'd also say to build at least four just to have a temple in each cardinal direction or five with the largest built around and above the wagon site and the other four around it.

Tholest Bladedangers seems rather dwarfy as does Tobul. Gigin the Zenith of Ink was the personal deity of the previous King.

[WillowLuman]

To check, we can use 'prospect' in dfhack.

[Rumrusher]

Or, there is a more hack-y method. Might be more dangerous, though: unretire each of them and hack them to be standing around the area upon actual embark. Not sure how to do that, though, and it could cause bugs. Rumrusher would probably know...

If we do take the easier, safer method, it might be expedient to save-scum so that each migrant season brings at least two of the heroes, until we have all of them by 2nd spring at latest.

Okay so I was summoned by Hugo unknowingly giving suggestions until figuring out he talking about this. Read your tale of pure Adventurism just to start up a Fort mode challenge.
Currently got an idea of how the first fort should start if a bunch of adventurers going to start it, but it results in asking if any of the guys brought a Pick, Axe and Anvil, or have the means of inventing either of those 3 three while you start with the weapons on your back and no military. Though that sounds pretty harsh so I'll work up a better solution, so the site name is SilverySects right?

[uggi]

Don't forget to set the Distinct Artifact as the name of the group along with Silverysects as the name so that it'll match the history.

I named the fortress Silverysects the Citadel. Deaths will probably be listed as if they happened in the original Silverysects mountainhomes. This was discussed back in last summer: this and the following posts.

Didn't even thought about the group name. Apparently I named them as The Destined Beards of Laboring.

[Rumrusher]

okay so figure out what hugh was talking about after visiting the site, embarking over a nonexistent site like a mountainhome gonna lead to some clipping issues where the map will unload parts the area.
Good news I have a solution bad news it kinda results in turning all non adventure mode loaded sites into the ones left over by toady. hope you don't mind having invisible walls around forts you have to un-fast travel to get across.

[Crossroads Inc.]

First year done... now in the process of converting into into a post!
Quick summary.

Melkor and Uggi showed up,
we got our first caravan and got an Anvil (thank Armok)
no deaths (so far) but not a lot of beasts, biggest animal all year was a weasel

[WillowLuman]

We must savescum for more hero migrants! 7 seasons is too long for all of them, 1 could die before they all meet.
