Ive been playing Dwarf Fortress for quite a while now, and i think that i should play my hand at a succession fort, but with a twist.

First, we are embarking on perhaps the most norther point i could find on the map (no aquifer on the embark site, but we got one under the ocean on about 1/4 of the map). Second, we have a good chunk of minerals, , but it looks like we are gonna have to deal with the freezing biome out top...



Oddly, the surroundings are Calm, not what i expected from a fort in the middle of nowhere.

We have No wood, no vegitation, and a frozen ocean (or at least REALLY COLD ocean).

So, if i can get a few initial people who want to be dwarfed with the professions that they want, ill go ahead and embark (if i dont get a list of 7 in the next 12-24 hours, ill go ahead and embark on my own).

Im also looking for overseers (you can specify next, or whatever turn you want (but if it comes to an empty slot and you are next in line, 2 years later, you are getting bumped up the queue))

OH, btw, im using the phobius tileset, but other than that, its vanilla DF 34.11

Generally, im against danger rooms, but other than that, its free game (We shouldnt need to use them.... although i did have a larger than usual number of beasts spawn at the start (I wonder how many are left  ))

Bp920091's Log: Entry 1: The Start
Well, this is surely a cheery expansion of the empire of The Plain Armors, and in such a faraway place from where the main part of the empire is actually places... You would think that one might expand an empire to areas that are close to you, at least when you take a party to a new continent.

Well, there is at least some honor in having the furthest north fort... Honor... Yeah... that’s what the word is...

We do want an outpost on this continent, what with our empire's mandate to Expand Across the World or something that they keep saying as an excuse to get more dwarves to get away from the capital. But couldn’t we have at least started at the SOUTH of the continent, you know, the side that faces us…

Then again, no one listens to me, and after my successes at building smaller forts closer to the empire, the powers that be decide to have me go and oversee this fort, WAY far away from everything…

You can’t just say no to the king, that kind of answer gets you a hammering from that bored looking guy in the corner with the hammer. Not just any hammer, a hammer made of pitchblende, rather than a featherwood crossbow or some other weapon. What else does one expect of an empire that is rapidly growing after all…?

It’s going to be a long year...

You mean our sole survivor is a one legged vampire bleeding to death in the middle of a farm surrounded by vengeful ghosts?

Oh, and there's still a siege on.

...This is the stuff DF is made of.

Overseer Laularu Kyrumo, Administrative logs

We are riding for the battlefield in force tonight,
Fury of the darkest evil cry for war
Far beyond the boundaries of hell and starlight,
On the road to lands unknown forever more

Through the caverns far below our quest will lead us,
Onwards through the ice and snow forever more
Standing fighting full of hate the time has come now,
Stand and sound the guns of glory cry for war

Also, i thought about laying down some ground rules for the turns, based on what i see on the forums.

Basically, once it is your turn, you have three days to actually post an update (or say that you are gonna post one) and then you get four days between updates, with a maximum timeframe of two weeks. (Basically, 3 days to start, 4 days between updates, and 14 days overall)

If you cant take your spot as overseer for whatever reason, you can either be bumped one position back (ie, to third if you were second), or to the last available slot (default to the back, but you can say if you would like to be pushed back just one turn).

[Rendell]

I would like to apply for a position of overseer, as well as being dwarfed, any profession is all right with me . 

[shali8]

I would like a turn. If that is alright I would also like a dwarfing. I prefer to be a miner named Artimaus. 

[Kalemyr Skyfire]

I would like a turn. If you can, please dwarf me as a miner named Feylers.

[javierpwn]

Would like a turn
Dwarf me a hunter named Javier

You will be added to the overseers list (2), and dwarfed into whatever we need for embark

You are also added to the overseers list (3), and a proficient miner is named after you.

I would like a turn. If you can, please dwarf me as a miner named Feylers.

You get added to the overseers list (4), also as a proficient miner

Would like a turn
Dwarf me a hunter named Javier

You get added as fifth overseer, with a hunter (im thinking lvl4 hunter, lvl3 marksdwarf, and lvl3 archery)

[laularukyrumo]

I feel like we're all fucked if SOMEONE doesn't bring literally 50 logs with them. And ideally a bunch of either Lignite or Bituminous Coal (B-coal is better), cause while I don't think DFhack counts it as an "ore", I didn't see any on that prospect, and with no above-ground wood, we're gonna have quite a task.

That being said, sign me up for a turn on this trainwreck. I'd like a dorfing too, preferably L5 grower, no other labors enabled. (Trust me. We're gonna need plants. Lots of them.)

You have been added, and oh yeah, im most definitely gonna bring as much wood as i possibly can (its not like we are gonna need many axes for awhile (one should be plenty))

We do have about 3k of B-Coal and 6k of Lignite, so its not a HUGE problem, but i can see where you are coming from.

One more initial dwarfing and im gonna start.

Additionally, i propose that we shouldnt use DFHack for really anything (i personally just use it for initial ore prospecting and occasional blood cleanup (when it REALLY affects FPS)). Dwarf Therapist is fine, as managing hundreds of dwarves by hand takes a long time (A REALLY LONG TIME), but none of it's "Dirty Cheating" settings, like assigning labors to children/babies, or using it to instantly see vampires.

[MinethatCrackers]

I'll take the last embark dorf and the 7th turn. (If I got ninja'd on this I will die)\

EDIT: Also, the labors don't matter. As long as I'm not a hauler, I'm fine.

lol No worries on the ninja.
Lucky break.

You have been added to the list, as well as given a woodcutter/Grower profession (we need someone at least at lvl 1 in woodcutting, at least when we breach the cavern level and create a tree farm), Ill go ahead and start ASAP, expect an update later tonight.

Wow that was fast. I posted that about 10 min ago!

[Teneb]

Sign me up. It will be nice to see a succession fort that isn't some insane clusterfuck. And maybe I'll be able to turn it into one.

Lol, I picked it because it was the only fort with >10 players already in the queue. I wanted to actually get a chance to play.
