This has so much potential, especially so depending on if the civilization politics aspects make it in. We could be looking at a whole separate player-created civ with it's own enemies and political concerns. I can't believe I didn't notice this thread before, as though I needed another reason to be excited for the new release.

I would also definitely like to be included if this ever starts up. SO MUCH AWESOME! Might take awhile to do a full rotation with fifty players on the list, so perhaps this thread could be split into, say, ten child threads with links to this one? They would all have the same basic premise, and they could start out as the same world, but then would be shaped and changed by the players. It would be cool to see how much we could influence history.

On a similar topic, does anyone have guesstimates for release date?

This has been asked so many times on the Future of the Fortress thread, and on so many other threads, that honestly I think that any further speculation has become moot.

All I can say is that I know it will be awesome when it does come out.

I would LOVE if the new version would come out before the school (in here) starts (ie. in September).
Because high school is scary stuff. ;_;

(I know that school is school ie. you do nothing for the most part, but still)

[WillowLuman]

I've got till the very end of September before I have to actually go off to college, and I've only got 3 classes this quarter, so I'm ready any time. Except at midterm.

I think the plan was this will be the "official original first" succession world, but other succession worlds with their own themes will surely pop up.

With so many people we can have strict rules for turn start and length to keep it moving.

Are we gonna have A graphics pack? because I haven't had DF in ASCII in so long I forgot how to read it.

If you want to put one in when it's your turn, I'd say go ahead.
It wouldn't bother me, at least.

Im thefirst second person, I don't know if I'd anger the entire player pack by doing that

Probably.
I always get crazy tileset issues when I try to use a non-graphics version of a game previously used with graphics.

[wer6]

Well, ill just see if there is one by then, if not, well ill pretend the overseer is blind and senses by hearing, so more !!FUN!!

[Mesa]

With DF2013 nearing release I felt like bringing this up again at worst will cause it to go back to whatever page this was on.
I'm just kind of bored, really.

At least this isn't just a

Bump.

Alright, it kind of is, but... :V

[mastahcheese]

I had forgotten about this, honestly.

I can't wait for the release! It sounds like they're in the final runs, though, so it shouldn't be much longer.
I can't blame them for it taking this long, I mean, it's pretty much the biggest shift since it went 3D.

I imagine there will be several adventure mode succession games running after this release. The Museum game is so much damn fun as it stands, and with bugs like wildlife populations going extinct during adventure mode play and town populations being infinite having been solved, it's going to be possible to keep games going strong for much, much longer without running out of things to slaughter.

My first objective will be to pick one town on one of these games, and slaughter the entire population, maybe even by assassinating lone individuals without witnesses. And escape whatever mob comes after me by climbing onto the roofs and jumping between buildings. Then throwing coconuts at them.

Yeah, I imagine this will start with a single fort being founded just out of tradition, and then crazy adventurer antics abound for years in-game until someone is finally done with it.
