Finding the Fortress
« on: July 22, 2012, 01:45:11 pm »

So my fortress is stocked with masterfully carved unicorn bone goodies, silver everything, flasks, food, wells, and I've even installed a danger room.

However, in the name of ARMOK, I AM BORED!

So I want to abandon and bring an adventurer to the fort to loot the goodies.

So my two questions are: will the danger room work for my adventurer?

And how do I find the fort?

1. If you can find some way to trigger it, yes.
2. Starting near it helps. Pick a civilization that has territory overlapping it or close to it. Asking villagers for surroundings and whereabouts of where you roughly know where it is can often reveal the exact location of your fort, and from there it's just a matter of fast travelling with the Quest log map as guidance.

Absolutely - powered machinery should continue to function, and you can manually pull levers.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Adventure Update: THE FORTRESS HAS BEEN FOUND

I created a pocket dimension with lots of beasts and savagery, few civilizations.  I constructed a fort and started cranking out  masterpiece equipment, and built a ripple repeater powering 10 wooden training spears.  I also constructed the fort at the spring from whence a river flows, so it was only a matter of following the river back to the source, but I found it.

It didn't take long to get my armor, shield user, and weapon skills up standing on the spikes, unfortunately, i built my ripple oscillator above ground, and it froze, so I decided to practice my wrasslin on the dwarves that were hanging out around the fort.  I killed lots, but in the end, was struck down by my own elite wrassler.  >(  so

Mission success?

If only you could fire a ballistia in adventurer mode, then it would be complete.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

It's sorta half-half. You took down a bunch of dwarves but... You took down a lot of your OWN dwarves.
