I just voted, making the total over 10 

Looking forward to the mass embark!

[omg_scout]

No terrifying glacier?

Voting sinnister then. Good luck guys!

[mavj96]

Seeing as how there would be at least one man left behind in the crossover we'll only move after this round is done. Too much has been established now

I also hope we can get this entirely moved avoiding all of the trouble.

I don't think it's too huge a deal either.

[mavj96]

That's it, I'm going to burst either way but it's ON!!! We've obtained 13 votes with a 2 vote lead for the ocean side.

Good luck to everyone.

Keep everyone updated on your progress, skim through the short list of rules, and most of all have !!fun!!. I'll be up all night to converse about our beginnings.

I found imp's embark on square ASCII.

Just so you know what your screen should look like.

Your wood weapons better fight off those sieges! You won't have very much metal and the head of the desert won't be there to let you dehydrate your enemies to death.

I voted for the volcano because I've never gotten to play with magma before

Also I'm going to be THAT GUY and say that you can't use tilesets because then you changed the raws. HURDURR IM LE MASTER TROLL.[/SPOILERLOOLZ]

[mavj96]

Thanks a lot! I'll put that in the OP along with a screenshot of the actual terrain.

[Varnifane]

Unless we want to use this world again, I'll spawn a world with interesting volcanoes for our next go.

Woot! My first ocean embark. GL everyone.

Is the post set in the community forum or do we update here?

AND SO IT BEGINS (I will now embark and begin a massive text document documenting the lives of my dorfs)

OP wants us posting here, I think.  I don't mind that, though if we stay this active (active is good!) Other people might mind a community game constantly clogging the front page of the dwarf fort discussion.

We can always get moved later, if it actually is a problem - no one's complained yet that I've seen.  I only mentioned it cause...  I'm like that.

Dig deeply and there will be magma.  Only the shallow MUST have their magma visible on the surface 

I'll start play in about 5 more hours

My first update!

Here is my personal loadout, I came with plenty of bismuth and tetrahedrite so I can get some bronze equipped military going fairly soon.

I figure I can find just about everything else quite alright in this embark.

We'll be posting here everyone, we'll get the thread moved sooner or later as I've already requested such but there is no need at all to delete it.

My first report: (I plan on doing this the entire time. This is a wall of text that you will enjoy reading.)

7th Granite:
I, Metruption have finally arrived at the embark site given to us by our /IMP/ious leaders at mountianhomes. Sending this
small group so close to a sea where there are rumors of carp, despite carp being long extinct. Perhaps the evil radiance
hits at the presence of zombies or something possibly even worse. Alas, as our miners were carving out the side of a cliff
upon us comes a snowstorm. I hope we finish up soon, this snow is getting very irritating. While waiting our carpenter
decided to be productive and make us some beds. Good to see progress.

11th Granite:
Those miners are still channeling out an outside for our fortress. At least the snow stopped but if I have to spend many
more days out here I will go crazy.

14th Granite:
Our miners alre /almost/ done and its just "a few more days" to make matters worse there's another snowstorm. I'm dying to
get inside a nice underground tunnel. Even if there isn't any rock. Just get me out of this damned weather.

23rd Granite:
The damned cliff face is finally done. The miners have also begun digging into the cliff face to allow us our nice shelter
that would have been nice to have over the week-long snowstorm that ended yesterday.

6th Slate:
A month in we now have sufficiently hollowed out shelter and a safe place to sleep. The miners are just now piercing the
rock layers. I'd like to take time to laugh at mother nature, yet anoter snow storm has come but we no longer sleep in the
cold outside. Our farmer also began growing pl,up helmets, I thought at mountainhomes we were safe from these things but
there is no escape at any beginning fortress.

10th Felsite:
Praise Armok! The first floor is finished. We have self sustenance and only room to grow! The sky erm... the great magma
sea is the limit! Unfortunately our /IMP/ious gave us a very difficult situation: there are no metals here at all, it
appears metal imports are going to be a VERY important part of life. Better start churning out some valuable goods to buy
ourselves into a bustling economy. I drew a little sketch of what's going on below, hopefully you can excuse the poor
drawing skills. (TILESETS ARE FOR PANSIES)

EDIT: I was just jesting about the tilesets thing, calm your beards.

[mavj96]

LOVE those sorts of updates. Meep them coming brother.

Will have my own big'ns soon.

I like the free barrels

1st Granite 80

Feckin' snow.
Dig. Dig! DIIIIIIIG!

4th Granite 80

They said there wouldn't be an aquifer. Dig over there.

14th Granite 80

Underground farms set up. All livestock and supplies secure downstairs.

That ocean is staring at me. I've only seen rabbits and giant mosquitos, but that sheet of ice looks ominous.

Mason! Hatches! Carpenter! Beds! Crafter! Jugs! Brewer! Stand by for Jugs! Miners! Dig!

18th Granite 80

The miners found a cavern. It has no water and no signs of life. Just cobwebs... Miners, wall it off and keep digging.

4th Slate 80

Found a second cavern. This one has vegetation, but no water that I can see. Also there is an odd looking downward passage. I'll have to drop one of the first puppies in here to check it out.

11th Slate 80

Warm stone located. Excellent.

Cave moss is growing so I call the miners back to dig out pens for the goats and the horses. I lucked out getting a mated pair pulling my wagon. Well... it wasn't "luck" but more on that later.

25th Slate 80

Time for phase 2

How did you "intentionally" get a breeding pair? I felt damn luck to get two females.

Edit: I'm also saving all my my logs and images for later upload. I encourage the nine others to do the same.

[mavj96]

I'm still gathering up stone for trade goods. Not sure how he made it to addy so fast :/
