You know, it occurs that we managed to live up to the name, and farmed a glorious crop of murder indeed.

I'll still be a wood cutter. Though I'm thinking if we embark in a hot biome, particularly one with a river, the first thing to do after putting down plots, is to dig irrigation ditches near the farm plots.

It's up to you Broseph, but we might want to consider allowing some quarrying, which is to say digging a hole to the stone rather than mining.

Code: [Select]

Something like it starting as:

XX
XX

Then progressing to:

XXXX
XXXX
XXXX
XXXX

with another:

XX
XX beneath it. And so on. So there's no roof overhead.

Assuming we have access to clay or sand (for fire-safe materials) and metal (via caravans with bars and meltables) I can't think of anything we'd actually need stone for.

I think our situation should ideally be one that is fairly trade-reliant. We're producing farm-products, like crops and milk and clothing (and bacon), and trading it for valuables we can't produce, like metal and gems and stone. I actually like the idea of being specialized and non-self-sufficient like that.

Ideally we won't be importing nearly as much death this time around though.

[Betelgeuse]

Are we using the same world as the last Murderfarmed or generating a new one? If we decide to make a new one we could use it as an opportunity to mod in some of the plants we've been talking about.

[Broseph Stalin]

Let's put it to a vote.

[Triaxx2]

Hmm... perhaps if we limited the use of the stone to non-economic purposes? I mean, stone walls are something farmers have been using for years, because when you till a field, you get tons, and tons, and tons of rocks. Since that doesn't happen in DF, we should be allowed to simulate it. On the other hand, they shouldn't be processed into blocks, because with the harvest in motion, who can spare the time? Even if they're only used as the ground floor walls of houses.

I'd also suggest embarking over a partial aquifer, so that we can drive a well.

[Broseph Stalin]

Quarrying makes above ground forts too easy. Clay worked just fine before.

[DeKaFu]

Actually, I think embarking on an aquifer is a great idea and kind of wished we'd done it the first time around. Not only would it back up the no-digging-to-stone rule in-game, it'd also allow classy and realistic wells.

[UristMcWanderer]

Yes. Aquifer for a well (and to keep us from quarrying for stone), clay for houses, plenty of wood for various uses, and perhaps we could import sand to make windows for said houses. Clay can be made into both a wood furnace and a glass furnace, so the sand can be heated by the charcoal to make green glass. All too civilized.

[Broseph Stalin]

As soon as we get a consensus for new world or old world I'll make the poll an embark area selection.

[OREOSOME]

New world. that way we can also add some other features from the start, that is if we are going to add a new feature right when we start.

[Nerjin]

I like the idea of a secondary group of dwarves heading out years after the first murderfarmed. At first these dwarves scoffed at Broseph Stalin's ideas. However as time passed his ideas started making sense. Despite the failure of the original these dwarves believe they can get it right. With extremem testing to keep out artisitic Game Fowl the believe they can save accomplish where Murderfarmed failed. Or something.

[OREOSOME]

When we restart, I wish to be:
Name:Keiran
Profession: Swords/marksdwarf
Gender: Preferably male.

[Broseph Stalin]

Poll locks at 9 if Mebuy doesn't get a working save up and we decide on classic I'll just use the last working save. I remembered the Bacon raws were complete so the save is working again.

[Broseph Stalin]

Classic it is. Mebuys save appears to be from before our total destruction so I'll speed things up by causing a loyalty cascade.
edit: Goblins showed up when seven dwarves remained, killed everyone except the fish cleaner vampire who would hold the fortress intact forever as a black box abandonded him there.

[Broken]

I hope that the vampire comes as a  migrant.
