They won't go after the elves unless you mean deploying them. In which case i forgot to include a direct rout to the surface for them to use. Sacrifice chamber is a bedroom outside the vampires' storage space.

[FlickerFly]

Oh what is that? I'm sorry, it looks like the vampires got out and THEY ARE KILLING YOU ALL .



Think you can escape?



10th Hematite



I need me some rooms.
I can't actually find me on the units list...
Apparently I'm not dwarfed or are horribly inobservant.

If I'm not, then I guess I need a random female dwarf...




Perfect.

17th Hematite

The vampire mayor is unhappy with her (totally unnecessary) lodgings.



Fine.

20th Hematite

Wait, stuff was rotting in the trade depot?





1st Malachite-

My rooms done.

Also, working on a north extension for the phylite path.

7th Malachite-

We must get on this immediately.

Yes, our vampire is also our mayor.

10th Malachite-



13th Malachite-
You know what? Guard dogs are overrated. We're going to have a guard cheetah and a guard jaguar.



The mayors rooms are also finished.

16th Malachite-

Kea Men are scaring the dwarves. We need a ceiling.

25th Malachite-

Hell no.
Wait, I forgot to link up the second drawbridge?

Welcome in everyone -_-

8th Galena

We must set the stage for future expansion. Or something. Don't argue, I just wanna dig a hallway.

15th Galena



16th Galena
A farmer has been possessed.
He claims a Leather works.

22nd Galena

Military is shooting at the humans... pretty sure we could take them.

3rd Limestone.

 
So, good news, all the humans are dead.
Bad news, half of our own military is dead.
...This was a terrible idea.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

3rd Limestone



Actually... this isn't so bad. As long as noone gets too depressed, we're all fine!

Also, tempted to drown all the puppies.

According to dwarf therapist, 20 dwarfs are miserable or very unhappy... Guess I'll make them nice bedrooms. (hopefully dwarves won't start feigning depression in order to get better bedrooms.) I mean, they'll get over it, but I may as well.




Useless, but shiny.

4th Limestone



Great.
She was easily dispatched, though.

13th Limestone



There weren't even any merchants there!

16th Limestone
I'm making a second food stockpile by the new dining hall, hopefully to make sure dwarves eat more prepared food.

25th Limestone
I have scrapped the bedrooms in favour of a different approach- ENGRAVE EVERYTHING.

4th Sandstone
Everyone too sad to be useful has been restricted to a burrow with some food and not much else until they get over it. Not sure if this is counterintuitive or not.

8th Sandstone


Wow, I sorta suck at this. *christens daughter FlickerFly Jr*

16th

Everyone who isn't depressed who's still in the depressed-people-area has been let out.


21st

Okay, the lock-everyone-in-a-room tactic seems to be working, except everybody is thirsty and I'm not sure how to get booze to them without letting dorfs in. "Garbage" chute?

26th Sandstone

A dwarf with a punctured lung and stomach just got up and is wandering around perfectly happily. Huh. *lost the screenshot*

5th Timber

Success!
There are now only 13 dwarves in the depressed-people-room, and most of them are insane.

18th Timber

I guess they were attracted by all the engraving I did to cheer the dorfs up...
And they brought giant bats.
I knew we needed a ceiling!
In other news, normal dwarves started tantrumming, so I had to lock them up again.

20th Timber

A SIEGE JUST STARTED IDIOT

25th Timber
Okay, so I might be panicking about the goblin seige... just a little... But at least it won't be my problem soon.

6th Moonstone

Can't upload it at the moment, I'll try to get it up by tomorrow though.

Edit: Here, hope it works. Dffd doesn't like me much (so that's why I'm not using it).

Edit 2: Has Vodrilus been notified? (and is the file working)?

[Vodrilus]

Oh, I only just noticed this! (Along with the private message...)

I'll be pretty much preoccupied with Christmas-related stuff until the ~28th, so the next one in line may feel free to grab the save before that.

[Vodrilus]

Downloading presently... Let's see what I'll find...

[Vodrilus]

(I hate triple-posting, but I guess it's the most practical thing to do right now... Here's half a year of progress, without the many (three) screenshots.)

6th Moonstone
Damn this madness! The goblins have been let into the courtyard - apparently no-one bothered to rig the outer gate. Now the un-patriotic ones have also been released from their imprisonment. This must be the work of an undercover goblin agent (or worse, an elf...). I must take charge over this fort to prevent any further madness.

7th Moonstone
We have no militia to speak of. They are all dead. Also, our armory is severely lacking. The goblins are mostly camping outside. Some archers have been spotted, just sitting on a hill even though they could sweep in with those giant bats. I guess we can sit this one out. A more permanent solution is called for...

8th Moonstone
I've got it! While we are quite starved of metal, we could construct a huge drowning trap to end any siege. That way we could gain as much metal as we ever want. I've ordered the architects to start drawing up the plans. Meanwhile, we'll need some more picks - a good use of the copper we have.

16th Moonstone
By the smooth cheeks of Tustem, a dwarf has gone mad! Kivish Savagechannel is raving and trying to attack every dwarf that comes near her. Fortunately, she is tied to a bed in the hospital. I've sent the soldiers to dispatch her.

5th Opal
Vodrilus went insane, and is hereby replaced by Vodrilus II as Overseer of Hopestarved.

9th Opal
Just great. The trade depot has been destroyed by an angry dwarf. I'll find the rascals responsible!

10th Opal
The goblins still haven't left, and now the outpost liaison has left, unhappy. I guess we'll just have to keep waiting. I hope the merchants won't go insane too soon...

14th Opal
And now some idiots ventured up on the roof. Apparently they were ordered to gather up all the corpses and the items. They promptly created a vicious circle of suicide by goblin bolts. Fortunately I managed to stop this foolishness.

18th Opal
Praise the gods! Finally, the goblins got bored waiting for us to appear topside. Now we'll finally be able to bury our dead and chop down some wood for our forges.

28th Opal
A kid has created a wonderful bone spear. Mmm... bone...

4th Obsidian
Now the un-patriotic scum is dying of thirst, even though we purchased plenty of booze from the caravan. I guess they're on a thirst strike. They'll most like likely all die very soon.

7th Obsidian
Finally I got it. The un-patriotic ones were _commanded_ to stay in that silly room...  I've reversed the order. Now they'll finally go get a drink. What a waste of perfectly good workforce!

28th Obsidian
Vodrilus I has died of dehydration. He will be remembered.

12th Granite
Unhappy dwarves continue to die and go insane. The drowning chamber has now been cut out of the rock. Soon the masons will have built the necessary bridge hatches to flush out the waters.
***PIC***

14th Felsite
We are finally getting back on track. I have ordered a massive number of mechanisms to be churned out. Also, I have constructed a mist generator at the main entrance to ensure the humour of the populace.
Also, some snatchers appeared.

16th Felsite
Numerous ambushes have really begun to annoy us. Also, an elven caravan arrived. Unfortunately, we have already destroyed most of the goblins.

20th Felsite
And now, a kobold ambush. Impossible. We destroyed them all, albeit with unfortunate losses. Our mayor has been crippled and is unable to breathe. Curiously, he is still alive.

27th Felsite
Apparently, a dwarven child was successfully kidnapped. At least, that's what the mother claims. I am more inclined to believe him to be hiding in the tunnels.

7th Hematite
I am glad to announce that we now have a breeding pair of cougars.

[Splint]

Our mayor shouldn't be a mayor. He's a fucking vampire who's only useful purpose is to die for the crime of being an idiot and getting cursed with vampirism.

[Godlysockpuppet]

Our mayor shouldn't be a mayor. He's a fucking vampire who's only useful purpose is to die for the crime of being an idiot and getting cursed with vampirism.

Don't kill him! He's our failsafe for when we become royally fucked.

[Splint]

No. He's not. he ate one of our soldiers. He' locked up unless we need to send someone who's going to be drilling for the rest of his miserable life out to fight. Also: There is a small room intended to be used by sacrifices. The floodgates serve as airlocks.

Either way I hate vampires and look forward to the day his miserable life is extinguished.

[Vodrilus]

I intend to keep the mayor crippled and very much alive for the time being. I've managed to prevent most blood-sucking attempts on important dwarves. Some kids were drained eventually.

Edit: Also, some screenshots. (I'm getting lazy here.)

[xana55]

Not bad so far.

[Vodrilus]

I took the liberty of playing one extra month to finish my project. It should provide the fort with many a fun time.
-----------------------
4th Galena
The hubbub of a fort coming back to life ceased for a moment to respect the passing of our beloved mayor, Fang Keshshakdomas.

The dwarves are working furiously to prepare the Drowner for the next enemy horde. I wonder if we'll make it.

14th Galena
There. The humans have come to greet us with bronze and iron. We are not prepared for this.

I have ordered the drawbridges raised, damn the ones left outside.

16th Galena
Apparently our new mayor was on a little hunting excursion, topside. A quick burrowing alert summoned him back

1st Limestone
Autumn has come, and the long tall humies are still camping outside, and we are unable to muster defences against them. I remain confident

that the Drowner will be finished come the first goblin siege. But still, the humies wait and watch, spelling doom for any caravan foolish

enough to approach this fort. Once we get more migrants (that is, when the next liaison has told the Mounntainhomes of our good fortunes),

we'll be able to channel some workforce to the barracks. 'Skeleton crew' would be too fat a name for the current garrison. Ah, well. On to

work with the Drowner...

15th Limestone
Ooh... Rovod Mwsirvabok the Conscript just woke up and seems to have a very clever idea...


18th Limestone
Now Rovod started hacking away at a piece of marble and a pile of owl bones. I wonder what he's making. A fancy coffin?

22nd Limestone

A marble grate...

28th Limestone

A giant has arrived to pay us a visit. Let us hope it won't break our drawbridges too fast... and forunately went to pester the humies, getting a pounding from the single archer's copper arrows. Haha, how he's chasing them, now that the archer is out of arrows!


4th Timber

How on earth did that miner find time to party?

6th Opal
The Drowner is operational, and now is the time to use it. Drink your fill, humies! I will now leave command of this fort to another, for I have seen my project through.


-----------------
The fort is in dire need of optimization (as are all succession forts), but I opted to build my drowning trap instead.

Uploading complete. Here you go!


Edit: Might give instruction via PM regarding the use of the trap if asked. I would imagine, however, that trial and error might bring a bit more FUN into the game.

[xana55]

Alright next person on the list is taking too long, skipping to the next one!

[Godlysockpuppet]

Alright next person on the list is taking too long, skipping to the next one!

On to the next one again...?

[xana55]

Apparently...

[Splint]

PM'd those people to let them know they're up right?
