Anyone have a challenge for me? Or want to do a team thing? Have a crazy idea and need a teammate? I'm up for anything... if you just want to see something done... I'll take a stab at it and keep you up dated. Let's hear your ideas. The most fun idea I'll join up w/.

Bored, eh? I get that way sometime too. I have an embark for ya. This is my cure. See if you can survive for more than 20 mins.

I'll put it up on DFFD once I stop work out some account issues.

I'm too lazy to check, what type of embark is that?

[Bobnova]

Painful.
Attempt1 lasted maybe two minutes of real time.

2x2 terrifying conifer forest with a standard 'Play now!' embark. Just another walk in the FUCKING OMGZOMBIEHEDGEHOGPPL park.

[MrWillsauce]

I bet I could survive there for five years!

[acetech09]

Once you get walled off, it's mostly fine. Just play door fortress to quarantine any zombifications. The issue is getting underground before that happens. It's hard for ANYTHING to walk on that map without seeing your dwarves right away, so it's mostly murderification before you get underground.

Embark with 6 militiadwarves and one miner/mason? Would that work?

Not if it's locked to embarking with a standard Play Now setup.

[MrWillsauce]

Oh right... derp. Mine straight down from the wagon and build a door ASAP?

You'd want 6 miner/masons and 1 militiadwarf to dig a trench/build a wall as physically fast as possible. That would make it pretty easy. Which is why I went with a play now embark

I tried 3 times and failed/passed out.
You can't just 'mine down' as the aquifer.
The ONLY saving grace is the two dogs (defense), two picks (quickly underground), and that it's freezing (no bs'ing w/ aquifer).
Going to give a few more attempts!

If this works... I just hope it's freezing year round, else I'll probably flood the fortress.

If you have enough frozen time, you could seal your entrance behind you, work out your basic survival needs, prepare for some modifications that let you open back up to the surface without drowning the place, then install them during the next freeze.

Ok, I've survived on a glacier before, but this just sounds plain insane...

[acetech09]

. I forgot to mention the aquifer.
