A dark fortress.

 Seven goblins have been sent out to brave the hardships, and will construct a dark fortress.

Rules from the Goblin Handbook
1. All buildings should be made from pitchblende and white/gray stones.
    Pitchblende should be the walls, and any floors should be built with white/gray stones.
2. Use of DFhack is limited. You may only use it for it's designations, job, workshop, and any other appropriate commands.\
3  DFhack can be especially useful, though. You can use "job-material" to make doors and things out of pitchblende.
4. Dwarf Therapist is allowed, as always. It is also suggested.
5. Most of the fortress should be above-ground, however some things may be carved underground. Things like dungeons, tombs, etc.
6. Military should be influenced.
7. Do not attack the Dwarf Caravans. The goblins are marked under the dwarven civ, therefor attacking the dwarf caravan will result
    in a loyalty cascade. And that's bad.
8. You may "steal" merchants and guards from caravans using the "tweak makeown" command in DFhack.
    Pretend that you're taking slaves.
9. Goblins don't drink alcohol. Leave it for the slaves.

Let the games begins.

[PrivateNomad]

       Nomad stood by, gazing towards the display of goblins hauling pitchblende stones towards the beginning of the new fortress.
Risen came by, handing him a sheet of papyrus. Nomad took it with one quick motion, bringing it over to his face to read.



       He overlooked the stocks, scratching the back of his head.
"We need more food, Risen." Nomad said, with a serious tone.
"We're trying all we can, sir..." Risen responded. It was easy to notice that he was malnourished. They really were trying.
"We should be able to hold off for now..." Nomad said to Risen. He nods slowly, walking off.
       To his surprise -- As he looks behind him, a large swarm of buzzards is already terrorizing the wagon.
Nomad ran over, pickaxe in hand. He thrusted the pickaxe's tip into one, killing it with a quick motion. The others quickly scurry off.
We didn't interact with the dwarven caravan much. We weren't ready yet.
Nomad walked over to the wagon with a note. He pinned it on the wagon, and stepped down from his position.

"To whom this note finds -- I step down from my position and hand it to the next overseer. May the Gold of Granite guide you.
Serve this place well."

[eharper256]

Okay, sounds fun, I'm in!

Goblining: Fumlik Sizzlechops => a Cook (ideally), but any food related gobbo is fine.

Any Real Life time limits?

Is that the save to start immediately? Or just the world file? I'll check it out
So, just the world file, it seems, huh? Well, I'll look at the legends later at least.

[Bogre]

Sounds interesting, could take a turn.

Goblin:
Snugabed Whirlcliffs, Goblin Fanatic (totem maker/flail user).

[PrivateNomad]

Let me update the OP, go ahead and DL the save.

[eharper256]

Let me update the OP, go ahead and DL the save.

As noted, the save is just the world file; there is no option to continue playing. Just in case, I redownloaded it, tried resetting tilesets, and also tried it with a freshly unzipped LNP installation of DF in ASCII, and still no cigar.

Staring at the differences between folders I've already got in play and this one, I noticed that there is no world.sav, but a world.dat instead, also suggesting its been abandoned or suchlike. Nevertheless, on the off-chance I also tried changing the extension to sav. DF then moves it to the continue playing screen, but it has no name and is corrupted when trying that.

EDIT: Also tried a fresh D/L of just plain DF straight from the website, without any LNP. Same thing.

So, if you're sure you uploaded the fort, then I'm not sure how to proceed... any suggestions?

[PrivateNomad]

Strange. I'm not sure how to fix this.

[Gavakis]

Can I join?
If so, Goblin me as Gavakis, hopefuly as a military Goblin.

[PrivateNomad]

I can add you, but I need to fix the save... Somehow.
I deleted the fortress on my comp, but it should be on mediafire still.

[eharper256]

Well, if someone else can get the save working, please say so, and carry on. Move me down the list if needs be.

[PrivateNomad]

I'm trying to fix the save now.

[PrivateNomad]

Bad news. For some reason, I can't get the fort up. What I'll do, is I will start a new fortress and we can use that. Sorry.

[eharper256]

Bad news. For some reason, I can't get the fort up. What I'll do, is I will start a new fortress and we can use that. Sorry.

Not just me then? Well, its unfortunate, but I look forward to the re-start.

[PrivateNomad]

I'm putting the fortress in my favorite region of the world. It features a small peninsula with a desert in the middle.

Alrighty. New save is up, let's hope there are no problems.
Be sure to finish the wall to accurate measurements.
