So I had this idea, and I looked around the community forum to try to find a thread on it, but I couldn't.

So now that we're going to have worlds that continue to grow even as we toil on our forts and the lives of our adventurers, and forts that can be left to work on unrelated matters, we should start having entire community worlds, that span across decades and beyond of in-game time, jumping from forts that span across the whole globe, connected by the wandering persuits of various adventurers.

Think of it, someone could be playing in one fort, then transfer the save over to another player, who runs a completey different fort on the other side of the continent, and if one needs help, you could ferry over supplies as an adventurer with demi-god level fighting power to save them from an incoming seige.

I can imagine a world being genned from year two (or zero if someone has figured out how), and advancing onward  into years with triple digits, possibly even quadruple if the world is just that good.

So who's with me? DF2013 DF2014 as the succession world project

UPDATE:

The game has been started by Glloyd here.

There are already a few succession worlds (mostly for adventure mode), but in 2013 they should be able to last indefinitely. And be way more lively.

Good idea Mastahcheese.

[Kalemyr Skyfire]

Nice idea.

[Xantalos]

I like this idea.

[eharper256]

The best part is that all the forts people have created continue to run even if no player is interested in them. I'd certainly be interested in starting such a succession when DF2013 is out too.

[peregarrett]

Yes, I had this idea too!
Say, each of players makes a fortress for a year or two, then leaves it on its own and passes save to next player. And later each player gets his fortress back and gets pissed of how their nice places turned into mess! And has his time to fix it.

Sounds great, I'm in.

(EDIT: what the hell was i thinking when i wrote this? )

EDIT: It would take alot of time and recources, but somebody could wall in entire cities using fortresses. If Toady ever intruduces road pricing...

What if a player built a huge wall on his/her site and then created another fortress next to the first one, continuing the wall. It would take alot of time and recources, but somebody could wall in entire cities that way. If Toady ever intruduces road pricing...

And you can make Multifortresses building several adyacent fortresses joined though the caverns, Moria style, With populations of thousands.

There is something else you could do with this: embark on a half terrifying glacier, then build an ice wall to separate the terrifying and not terrifying parts. Create forts on either side to do the same. Continue until you have The Wall from Game of Thrones.

It could even be DF2014... We don't know how long it will take for The Almighty to complete his plans for the next release.

IIRC, he mentioned in the latest DF Talk that he's aiming for a march 2013 release... I think that's him being way too generous, but still. 2 months to go!

[GreatWyrmGold]

I was planning to do something like this, yes. If someone else starts one, I'll join.

[Delioth]

I must get in on this as well... I'm wondering how the game would track the mountainhome position with multiple player forts... Would it get transferred to the next fortress that meets the qualifications, or would you have to surpass the previous mountainhome?

Urist McMiner cancels dig: Interrupted by Balrog/Dug too deep!
EDIT: I wonder how often those LotR references were already made. Probably way too often to be funny anymore.

By the way, how are we going to organize this? One year turns on each fortress? What about adventurer turns?
I guess mastahcheese is the boss now.
