Cheese?

Cheese!!

What?

What is the point of this poll?

[notquitethere]

Should be good! Will there be any time restrictions for how long a person takes their go?

[IronTomato]

Not really, besides "Don't take a long time". If necessary, we can vote via a poll wether or not to skip someone's turn because they took a million years.

You didn't lock the other thread in time Tomato
(Where is MAH CAKE!!)

[IronTomato]

(Gives cake)

EDIT: I just generated a world. What kind of place do you guys want to go?

[javierpwn]

Hmmm flat forests are nice
Volcanoes are nice
Evil biomedical are terrible
Mountains are nice, but limiting


Flat forest w/stream is my vote

[notquitethere]

Baring the dreaded limit of FPS in mind, a small embark without a waterfall would be ideal. I love waterfalls, dwarves love waterfalls, my laptop however is less than keen. I don't really have that great a preference about the locale: hot, temperate and cold all have their charms, and a little bit of savagery keeps things fresh.

I vote for some place haunted.

I know Haunted biomes have been embarked in by everyone, but that's not the reason why I want to embark there.

This is why I want to embark in a Haunted biome.

If you want true Sardaukar, you will need a different strategy. First you need to break them mentally while building them physically. Embark on a part terrifying embark. Build your fortress in the non-terrifying part for your nobles and workers, but build your barracks in the terrifying part. Have them fight all kinds of nasties outside in the sludge rain. Furthermore, have them drink exclusively from a water well with either sludge or blood in it. After being forced to endure all of this, the survivors will eventually stop caring about anything anymore and will be trained physically.
Once they've completed their training, they officially become part of the Sardaukar. At this point they get to move into the non-terrifying part. There they get legendary bedrooms and eat legendary meals in their legendary dining hall. Now you have legendary fighters with an extremely high and unbreakable morale, ready to slaughter any goblins dumb enough to pose a threat to you. Just like the Sardaukar.

Hot damn, that is fantastic. I love it! I spent several days modding Sandworms into my copy of DF. They were badass and tough as nails.

Funny you should mention Dune, because I'd like to embark on a desert plain. I like the challenges associated with heat and no wood.

Whoa! Can the worms tunnel?

[anthony62490]

Whoa! Can the worms tunnel?

I was unable to make them tunnel. I don't know if any monster can move through solid matter.

Ah, Well maybe when the new update comes out, you can try to add the tunneling?

[anthony62490]

Yeah, maybe I'll take another crack at it.

[IronTomato]

I'm back. Time for more unproductivity!
How about a small, flat, evil and warm forest embark, as a combination of some of your suggestions?

[javierpwn]

But,but...
If the biome is evil, I'll be the first to die because I'm a hunter, make it partially evil

[IronTomato]

Okay.
