OOC Notice to everyone (and anyone asking for updates):I have 100 hours to finish off a major assignment. There will be no updates until then, but here's a teaser image for what's coming next for the fort:
There are two keywords in that announcement that almost every overseer wants to hear BTW
Wall of dorfing requests:
Lovely fort you have going on here, even the wilddead are nice! I might see about getting dorfed...I'd like to be a hunter, but that would be suicide at best (if a hunter 'kills' undead animals, will they bring back the remains?). Maybe a dwarf with some hunting skill, but turned off for now...yes, that would be an idea. Call him/her Kirby.
Also, there appears to be an issue with the images for updates on page...huh. I just checked and I guess they're normal now. Never mind then.
We have a couple of hunters, I can dorf you as one of them and let you know who you get in the next update.
I believe they will haul hunted corpses back to the butchers. Although we have a self raising biome, there is a significant lag between death and reanimation, and so we should be able to safely butcher any undead ice wolves. All I'd have to do is to relocate the butchers and tanners nearer to the entrance and we should be able to get some
fresh undead meat.
As for the images, I think that's because I was reorganising pictures into albums in photobucket, so some of the links would have broken. I'll try and fix those.
Hmm... what this fort could use is some surface section, but that's AFTER we get an obsidian production underway... nothing like a fairly dark tower to fit with the terrifying surroundings!
As for dorfing, I'll take a dorf if possible. (Chances are good I'll be a XXdwarf corpseXX by the end of dorfing #1, but eh...)
We could do an ice citadel on the surface. This fort is run in 0.34.07 (mainly because that was the version I had when I saw the challenge), so ice is plentiful.
I'll dorf you and let you know who you get in the next update.
This fortress is thriving in a Terrifying Biome? Lovely.
Dwarf me, if you wish, as a female, preferably military.
And are unfortunate accidents applicable to your mandaters?
Thriving.. kinda - we're getting migrants now
We have a couple of female dwarves with military skills, I can dorf you as one of them and let you know who you get in the next update.
As for unfortunate accidents, they shouldn't happen.. not yet
Wall of other requests:
Written Proposal:
We should construct a bedroom, engraved with fine images and adorned with lovely furniture. There will be two statues and a pressure plate in between, such that a dwarf can only reach the bed by stepping on the pressure plate. The pressure plate will be linked to a hatch in the ceiling and to the door, such that stepping on the plate causes the room to be sealed off and flooded. The bedroom will be assigned to any dwarf in need of execution.
We can always include a door in the design and forbid the door under normal circumstances. When the room needs to be used, designate the bedroom and unlock the door to the bedroom.
He is a criminal. Faking is a crime! He didn't even get punishment. Please, at least just lock him out in the snow for a week or something! Or just a tiny little training hammer beating?
I could.. facing undead ice wolves that might be sufficient punishment
Overseer is not that mean.. not yet Metal pumpstack from the sea to the surface!
And make a ring of fire around the fort? This might be viable.
I request:
Some wolf meat to be imported from mountainhome.
a good weapon and armor.
Will do the import request when the next dwarven caravan rolls around. As for weapons and armour, forging should be able to start soon, as we have steel already.
I request a lever in my personal bedroom that opens/closes the front gates.
A lever to open and close the willow door standing between us and the outside world? Hmmm.. why not?
Can I request something? I would like a helm, so that way I would be less likely to die.
One steel helm, on the way.
