[METALFRILLS] NO farming YES mods - Enlist Now!
« on: October 17, 2012, 10:34:26 pm »

METALFRILLS

So the idea is we are going to do a succession game using the artifact quality LFR mod ( http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=84186.2640 ), but with one big change.  Farming is undwarvenly and thus is modded out - if you want food you go outside and gather or trade for it.  No more cowering underground like rock elves when sieges arrive, no more feeding 200 dorfs with a 4x4 plot and 2 farmers, no more leaving your caravan friends to die because you have infinite everything. 
EASY MODE HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED.  Also:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
 

Current turn order is (I think)
1 - ^_^
2 - Megaman3321
3 - GreatWyrmGold
4 - Scruffy
5 - katana
6 - Man of Paper
7 - Imp
...

Year 1 o_O post1 | post2

Positions still open!  Dorfs still open!  Lets see what happens, or die trying.

I would like to be Dorf'd in this.

Could I be a cheese maker? Since Farming is turned off, that profession might actually be useful, for once. I also like beekeeping, if that's allowed.

This kinda sounds ... frickinī interesting. Please dorf me a woodcutter or miner. Iīd also love to take a turn but Iīm generally short on time so I donīt know how this would work out.

In other news: How do you think booze supplies will go? It isnīt really reliable to gather the surface every few months. I havenīt tried the mod, yet so maybe Iīm missing something but that could get tricky. Beekeeping is the only option coming to my mind. Could get interesting Iīm definitely watching how this comes along.

I'd love to get in on this, but lately haven't really had the patience for DF. However, I would love to be a bookkeeper, as it sort of fits my name.

Really, guys? I think we need more people doing jobs that produce food, in order to feed our overly armed/armored drunkards.

Weīll have some Mastahwork cheese, so this one should go smooth.

I'll call a hunter please. A hunter with a point in shield usage. And a turn if I may, please.

I'll take a turn, if Feudalism doesn't eat all of my free time.

aright, looks like we are good to go.  Assuming I didn't dupe a raw or something we should have updates on the way soon.  Our embark is at the edge of a nice grassland where the forest begins.  Off in the distance a dark stone tower is visible, maybe a friendly wizard lives nearby...  ;D

In other news: How do you think booze supplies will go? It isnīt really reliable to gather the surface every few months.

We should be able to harvest either the surface or the caverns at any given time.  I plan on armoring our herbalists and setting up some watchtowers or patrols or something.  Plus LFR adds a couple of extra trading races and some magic that might help us out.  Giant stockpiles and water rations may be in order.

Could I be a cheese maker? Since Farming is turned off, that profession might actually be useful, for once. I also like beekeeping, if that's allowed.

Bee cheese!  Brilliant!

Walls are important! I've been attacked by the Tyrani- I mean Shedim early in my second year. LFR actually got me into building up defensive walls immediately.
