I think you are fine, we were just mildly wondering about how we'd do the restart.

As to jakmak's turn, I thought we weren't going to use cage traps unless in a zombie apocalypse situation?

[jakmak]

I'm curious: bees need outdoor environment, that's established. So, what happens when an axisting hive is roofed over? Do the bees die or what? More importantly, what happened to our precious beekeeping industry, cave-in and all?

 its fine i barely got 1/8th of the courtyard roofed over and i didnt even cover that area.

And pan the traps worked out quite well they caught a bunch of horses (didn't get a chance to tame) and a flesh man which i put out all the horses and the flesh man up in the main room for display in a cage. can the flesh man even be tamed? also i had dug out a channel with water in it for a well and i didn't have a chain or a rope so i forgot about it. So would who ever is next build a well in that area and please remove the roof that i wasn't supposed to build please.

I always like big surface constructions, especially clever ones.  A castle with lockable (lever controlled) turrets would be awesome. Look the turret in a 1x1 room with fortification to the outside, blocked by floodgates. Pull one lever, all the floodgates go down, turrets fire.

And a murderhole above the main entry. Complete with hatches and a landmine stockpile nearby. Invaders walk in, get trapped in murderhole, dwarf starts dumping landmines on them.

In general I would like to see clever use of the mod features of course. How do armored animals fare, golems, mages, glorious battle. No traps, at least not the normal ones. I want to see a forest full of treants and spitting orchids, a crazy guy burning down the 3th cavern to get rid of facehuggers, and would really, really like to see a curious underground structure. Actually... lets make this a necessary feature. I want one of those structures, to test all the adv. combat stuff on. Because these structures have about 2000-3000 units in there in the mod. I hope the FPS can handle that though. Just test this before the fortress starts ^^

Mountainking Urist McZenerbufen has decreed that A new Fortress shall be built. To be outfitted with all the latest in dwarven technology. You will be using the designs of the kings top adviser, a mysterious person who lurks in the shadows and is only know as 'Meph'.

You will build a mighty tower! It will rise to the sky for all to see the true might of the dwarven empire, and it's lower levels shall be dug to the deepest levels of the earth. We will need lots of room, lots of supplies, and lots of dwarfs to carry out Meph's experiments. This mighty tower shall be our front line offense, as well as our most strongest defended defensive position. It shall be large enough to house the entire population of dwarfs should the need arise, and should be suitable for a king, shall I decide to come visit, or take up permanent residence.

I remember discussing that cage traps were going to be forbidden, however I couldn't find it. I'm curious how the next overseer will handle being given the reins of a fortress that includes forbidden technology.

If they are still there when my turn rolls around I will scatter them about the woods in hopes of catching random wildlife.

[Meph]

I am against an all-cage-trap-defense, but like prisoners/testsubjects/tamed animals. So some of them for the caverns and in X-sections for wildlife sound ok. Cages also makes beautiful zoos.

[etlaM]

I, uh, have just got some unexpected visitors in real life.. Postponing my turn. I'll try to get on tomorrow morning (still UTC+2), if not, I guess it's more fair to pass it on to the next player...

[jakmak]

Should we just give this to smakemupagus i don't think etlaM would be able to do it

[tahujdt]

I will take a turn. What size is this embark?

[smakemupagus]

etlaM, let me know if you want me to jump on and take the turn? 

[Panopticon]

I vote you take it, etlaM said if the turn hadn't started by now to pass it on.

[smakemupagus]

I vote you take it, etlaM said if the turn hadn't started by now to pass it on.

OK, I downloaded and will start tomorrow after work if we don't hear from him. 

[zenerbufen]

Go for it, we can bump etlaM down to the next on the list.

[Meph]

Do you need more overseers ? You could just ask in the mainthread I guess, there should be enough people who read it...

Apart from that: 2nd year hall of the mountain king ? That is a challange.

[smakemupagus]

Hey, you wanted to test features
Should be doable if there are no nasty surprises ... It's year 3; and Ishar & Jakmak left the place in good shape.

[Ishar]

This fort seems to work out much, MUCH better than the previous one.
