They are going to raid -us-, I dont; think that's going to be an issue .

Xeqaurg want blood.  Dwarves die.  Spike head on end of spear!

An interesting embark would be to start in an area with an aquifer.  No stone, but we would have a nice source of water.

[Shingy]

Embark with not a lot of booze: we can reach the cavern quickly and start farming.
If you've got an Uruk at embark (check with Dwarf Therapist) then you may consider taking a copper gear for him so he'll protect the outpost against wildlife. Giant scorpions are bad.
You can buy poultry or whatever creature that lays eggs for a good source of food.
What else... oh yes, bring a couple dogs and more plump helmet seeds and/or more meat.
If you want to rush the caverns to build a well, then, as I said in a previous post, you can buy one rope and one bucket.
If you don't have enough points don't take splints, crutches or the wheelbarrow with you. You can easily build them on site. If you don't want tree farming, don't take any steeloak seeds as they cost 20 points each and lower the number of fungiwood spores.

Wrex mentioned that he genned his world without aquifers, so our desert won't have unlimited water!

[Wrex]

Tears of armok though, still exist. We have the benefits of aquifers without any of the drawbacks!

Wrex, you said at the beginning of the thread that we are using masterwork, or at least that is what you implied?

So, we have a masterwork fort, so why not an orcish one? The thought occured to me after the ten billionth time an elf was decapitated by rusty barbed wire. Anyone intrested?  For details, here is the world:

Orc Fortress is based off of the Genesis mod, so are we using Masterwork as well?  If so, I'm not sure how to combine the two.

[Wrex]

Orc fortress is a plugin for masterwork, I'm not sure what you are talking about?

This thread, in particular http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=113621.0

[Nimtike]

lolz, so I have found out that there are in fact 2 different Orc Fortresses.

Here is the page, part way down, where the genesis Orc Fortress is.

I now know about one for masterwork.  Jolly good then, I now know what to do.

[Shingy]

Oh, Wrex, I have a couple questions:
1- How beasts and titans are still alive?
2- How old is the world?
3- Is there a necromancer tower nearby? That would be FUN! 

[Wrex]

1. None. Barring a pair of (Shivan) Dragons, every titan and megabeast has been killed.
2. 300 years.
3. see that tower? That's home to a Toximancer/Lifemancer. Unfortunatly, he is allied to us (But will not trade. Setting up anywhere near the equator is bad, since we will have no trading partners). Toximancy is horrifying and he is more dangerous than any necromancer. I Deliberatly settled away from him so that the chaos dwarves, fanatics, bandits, and deep drow can trade with us. Not sure where the regular orcs are, but other taiga orcs will trade with us. No Bifrost from the ice giants though .

[Shingy]

Thanks for the answer!
It's sad that there are only two dragons alive though. Oh well, at least there are forgotten beasts!

[Wrex]

Oh, there are plenty of dragons. Just only two megabeasts MARKED as dragons. The Fanatic elves.  will be more than happy to sell us their reptillian friends. Long term goal: Dragons put in sniper towers. For now, I've just embarked, expect the first post soon.

By Usluk, what the fuck do they expect me to do here? It's just sand, a volcano, and more sand! It's so hot that you can see it! We may be orks, but that dosen;t mean we can work miracles! Here, look at this sketch:

This is not fyn.


Well, there is me, a digger. Tehn we got Squeeh. Squeeh is an odd little ork. And I mean little, he looks like a shrimpy ittle gobbo! Then we got kromnash, he kill everything with those whips of his. And mebuy. Hebuy. And a couple others.

Anyway, we need to get out of the sun, so I dug us a path into the mountain. near the volcano. First thing we do, we strike anthracite coal. Good stuff, burns good. And then Hematite! Amazing luck! We dug down a little ways into some rubble, and told everyone to get out of the sun. Kromnash Immediatly proves his worth by lashing a giant scorpion to death, takin nothing but bruises in the exchange.

So far, so good.

Disaster! As we began our exploritory mining shafts, we struck into the tears of armok. Out shaft was quickly flooded. Although there were no injuries, the flow could very well floot the fort if left unchecked.

Migrant orcs. Fisherorcs. The FUCK?! WE LIVE IN A FUCKING DESERT. WHY ARE YOU SENDING ME FUCKING FISHERORCS? I SWEAR BY ALL THAT BLEED I WILL EAT HOT FLESH FROM THE BOWL OF THE SKULL OF WHATEVER IDIOT, FUCKING SENT ME FISHERORCS.

*At this point, the pages appear spattered with blood, and then a sketch of the dining and food preparation room, also in blood*


In other news, we have finished the bridge that we can use to defend ourselves from enemies, in the case of a seige. I don;t like our chances so far. All that tantalizing magma, just out of reach....

Anyway, Komresh just decapaitated one of those elf-scented unicorns. I like this guy more and more as time goes on!

We need magma if we are going to survive this. The old ways cannot save us, it takes too much time and work.

I have dug out a grid, like so. When the time comes, we breach it, and let the streaming light through!

//The blood tribal craftsman's workshop is way out of my reach right now. It takes lamellar leather. Now he can laminate it from tough hides, but I have no idea how to get tough hides. I hope to get glass production running before the end of my turn, hopefully.


The Journal of Overseer Wrex, Autumm 303:

Damnit, Damnit, DAMNIT! We lost our mason. Utes bravely attacked a spore man that had slipped into the fort, and tackled it down the well. Several of our brave orks are wailaid by vomiting, but now there is toxic gasses inside out only water source. Utes, you will be remebered. As soon as we FUCK FUCK! DIE YOU HORRIFIC CANININE MONSTROCITY!






Hideous beats keep invading the compound. We simply can't keep going like this. Anything that drinks out of the well vomits all over the damn place! This place is a nightmare, but Komresh is a lifesaver. His chains have evicerated countless beasts. Something must be done...something. Anything. Those dingo's are watching us, with those beady little eyes. Searching. The hideous eyes of a complete monster. watching us


The goblins have arrived! And they have food! PRAISE FOOD. Okay, Liason, here is how everything is going down: our liason takled a monster made of spores into the well, everything is covered in fucking vomit, the dingos are watching us, monsters are fucking everywhere, and give us that god damn food now god damnit fuck fuck fuck I HATE THIS PLACE. THIS PLACE SUCKS. I CAN:T STAND IT ANYMORE. EVERYTHING IS COVEReD IN VOMIT, DEAR ARMOK THE VOMIT AND THE BLOOD AND THE KILLING AND THE FIRE AND THE SCORPIONS LOOKA T IT IT"S FUCKING HUGE IT WILL EAT USSSSSSSSS~~~~~WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
