I don't think so, but there's a number of ways to get around it.

Obviously texture packs aren't an issue here, since the game is modded. If you want to keep your inits you can easily copy and paste it. If you don't like aquifers you can transfer all the "inorganic" txt files in your Raw/Objects folder. LNP is just a GUI that lets you change the raws and inits around, but all of that is very doable without it.

It's time to vote! Since Lunatic won, I got all 6 locations set up for us to pick from, they all have some form of variation to them and also all areas consist of at least 80% -100% Terrifying areas. Only a few contain slight haunted or even a hint of untamed wilds.

What do all the locations have?

Well other than the fact that almost everything is out to kill you here the one thing the one thing I've made habit of doing with these area are the following:

They *Almost* all contain a river of some kind (only one doesn't)

They all contain shallow metals, deep metals, and flux stone.... cause trust me... in the long run, we're going to need it!

Here's the catch though, we don't know what kind of metals we're going to get.

And also we don't know what kind of terrible things might happen while in these terrifying areas....

So if we get stuck with gooey rain melts our faces off from the get go and kills us all.... well... I guess we'll have to vote on another spot then. XD

Anyways without further ado, let me introduce you to our locations!


Area 1: The Great Youkai Waterfall

The Good:Clay, Deep soil, Lots of elevation, Nicely sized river, waterfall that seem to show it goes down a great height (based on heigth description), temprate climate, lots of trees

The Bad: Aquifers are present! Careful planning must be done. Though at large heights most can by pass the aquifers easily.

If what I see about this place is corret, it would make a nice location. Nothing too bad to worry about except maybe everything that wants to rip you head off and the Aquifers that are here.

Area 2: The Barren Land Gensokyo has Forgotten

The Good:Elevation, waterfall, soil, river, Land is devided into one area containing metals and one area contaiing flux stone.

The bad: Hot dry climate, no trees or vegetation, aquifer

A barren wasteland that is located deep within the outsirkts of Gensokyo where no one goes. This area seems good, though very empty since it lacks in tress or vegitation. Serious preperations will be needed before we go here.


Area 3: The Nameless Hill

The Good:Some elevation, trees and vegetation, small waterfall

The Bad:Due to the low height and aquifer, planning is going to be needed to bypass it, also hot climate..

The accursed hill where the Suzurans bloom. This place may look pleasant at first glance but will likely be terrifying once you try to settle in it! Planning will be needed to bypass the aquifer

Area 4: Letty's Wonderland

The Good: Mostly flat land

The bad: Freezing cliamte, Aquifer, little to no vegitation and no sign of trees, aquifer

A land blanketed in nothing but snow and only a few plants as far as the eye can see... and yet a foul air roams around the area... what cursed land could come upon a freezing climate? Worse part is an aquifer stands between the soil and the rocks! Should we even try?


Area 5:The forest along the way to the Genbu Marsh

The Good:Vegitations, trees, flat land, river, little to no aquifer!

The Bad: Flux stone is located all the way at the eastern point of the map along the untamed wild hills. Aquifer just so happens to be in said location

To be honest, this land isn't so bad, at least for the Kappa it ain't. Course for our case that may vary. We're going to need to do exploration mining to get what we need here...

Area 6: The Dark Road Forest
The Good:No Aquifer, flat land, lots of soil, trees, vegitation, warm climate

The Bad: Hard to say.... except for the obvious....

In the accursed woods rest a cursed god who's misforture cursed the forest around her....do we dare choose to embark in such a place risking misfortune?
That's it for the embark locations, now the other things to vote on! The names of our fort and group!

Fort Names:

Current Suggestions:
1."Facehugged" (CaptainArchmage)
2."Crossedhorns" (highzealot)
3."Wheelsdrinkers" (NekoNeko Rex)
4."Sludgefeast!" (Grimlocke)

Group Names:

1."The Dweller of Drinking" (highzealot)
2."The Gleeful Urns" (NekoNeko Rex)
3."The Horn-Horn" (Grimlocke)
4."The Star-King of Drunks" (Captainarchmage)

Now, it's up to you guys to decide the land we embark on, on the name of our Fortress, and our group name!

I will give another day or so for the voting and I to shall vote on this:

In my opinion:

Location: #1 I'm a sucker for water fall locations despite the aquifers, it's easily manageable if planning is done in advence, course all these areas are a bit intimidating to be honest....

Fort name: Crossedhorns I was split between Nekoneko Rex and zealots's name choice, but for some reason, the idea of this title just sounds oni enough to work to me....

Group Name: "The Gleeful Urns" Repesent Suika as a whole if you ask me.... always drunkenly happy and carrying her gourd around.

Anyways, time for you guys to vote! And I'll decide based on the votes where we go from here!

[Grimlocke]

Area one, waterfalls and rivers (hoping it is in a valley) are allways interesting. Not so good with aquifers that wont freeze though, especialy the ones right under the first soil layer are hard to work with.

Also nominating area 6's stream for most amusing name

Edit: I just noticed you keep spelling my name wrong...

[highzealot]

Area 5 appeals to me best. I vote for Crossedhorns for fort name of course and I'm gonna vote for The Gleeful Urns for group name.

[Darvi]

Did I just get challenged?

I just got challenged.

Guess I'll check the OP once I'm done with... stuff.

[Scotty297]

where's the game going to be showed at?

[SirAaronIII]

I got a PM, so I'm posting here. Unfortunately, I don't have much time, so I can't play, but I will at least read it. Sorry.

[Patchy]

Well my time has been limited lately, so probably just spectate here. I vote for lunatic cause any self respecting touhou player or df player would play nothing less, but looks like that has been already decided. So I vote for the tundra start(Area 4), should be quite suicidal, and who can forget Nist Akath.

[Totaku]

where's the game going to be showed at?

Right here in this forum and MotK's forum. It's how I've always done my community games of Suika Fortress back when it was only an MotK related community game. It's just this year I decided to expand outside of it and get bay12 involved and now will be volley balling messages back and forth between both forums.

More or less when the game starts I'll give the intro, and cover the angles of the introduction and then pass the file on to the player who's turn is first (since it's randomized, it's anyone's game. who will go first)

From there the player will be required to post the events as they play out ( and I encourage creativity) by the season at the very least. Till the next spring, Pass the save to the next player, (using Mediafire or DFFD) rinse and repeat.

Anyways been keeping track of the votes so far I won't go into numbers here,

But Area 1 and 5 are tied
CrossedHorns is the top one for Fortress name
The Gleeful Urns is the top on for group name

Now for some MotK responds:

Area 5, put in "Armslashed" as a fort name.

Area 6, "Wheelsdrinkers" for fort name, "The Star-King of Drunks" for civilization name

I'm not actually interested in the game, but the best fort name is Sakedrop. Apparently it can't be done, but it's the best name anyway!

Also I went and contacted a few more folks from here and MotK to see if I can drag some more in.... Still going to try to wrap the voting up (hopfully) tomorrow...

I got a PM, so I'm posting here. Unfortunately, I don't have much time, so I can't play, but I will at least read it. Sorry.

So does that mean you will sign in as a spectator? At the very least I can give a Suika if so.

[SirAaronIII]

Sure, go ahead. I have no preference, just make me whatever you want.

[CaptainArchmage]

I'd pick area 5, with the clay and very deep soil. Naturally, I'm voting for "Facehugged" as the fortress name. The Gleeful Urns does sound acceptable to me, though. Now, have you actually tried embarking on those areas pre-emptively? I'd just like to know whether the regions are bad enough to warrant their acceptance.

[Syanas]

That'd ruin half the fun to know what to expect straight off the bat. Maybe the most meek looking place of all ends up having acid rain, or the craziest looking place doesn't actually have a cursed land.

[Darvi]

Oh yeah, and signing up too. As Wymar 'cause I'm sure I'm gonna make a MotK account so that I can post on both.

Also Darvi is only a name that I use for dorfy stuff, and Suikas aren't exactly dwarves. Okay I mean they are short but there's more than size to being a dorf. Or a giant for that matter.

[Errol]

Spectating. Lunatic. Most important position in the fort AKA brewersuika.
