NecroChambers

A Masterwork Fortress

Welcome friends and family! The remake is here and we can continue the fight to make this cursed place somewhat habitable.

Rules

As to quote from MD

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Succession games are a ton of fun. This one will be a little different.
Instead of each person playing a year, they're going to play the fort until they encounter terminal amounts of FUN. The next person will then reclaim the fort, seizing a large amount of wealth and inheriting its increasingly convoluted structure.
Oh, but that is ever so boring! To make things interesting, we're going to have a little competition. Record how long your fortress survives, what kind of threats it faced (and how dangerous these were to the forts survival) and how much wealth you generated. Detail any large projects you complete, and any dwarfs or occurrences legendary enough to mention.

Have FUN! The more FUN you have, the faster this will go.

A few guidelines to avoid making the next reclaim too difficult to continue;
-If you send in the Clowns, make sure they have no way to access the outside world. Overwhelming your fort is fine, but seal it off.
-Other hostiles inside your fort that may be left over for the next player (zombie teeth, berserk dwarfs, giant cave spiders...) should also be sealed in.
-If you construct a device to flood the surface with magma, you probably should survive long enough to turn it off and let it drain.
-Dump all corpses and body parts you can find in a lockable stockpile. If you loose to a necromancer siege, at least there'll be less zombies for the reclaim to deal with.

1:You cannot turtle for a year straight
Now the style you present the updates can vary, you don't need to break out the several hour engorging strain of effort I have done recently its up to you!

But atleast include pictures and a semi-coherent report and I'll be happy!

Quotes

"Usually a game goes at least one turn before everything goes to hell. By definition, this type of game must go to hell in every turn."- Urist McKiwi

"Seriously, you have not SEEN the amount of bullshit that's just strewn about here. It's so fucking toxic I could die, and speaking of dying there's at least twenty corpses lying in and around and inside the fortress. With only 7 dwarves here I can't just pick all this shit up and my OCD is making it so I can hardly even go one minute without puking by looking at all this shit that's not anywhere close to any stockpiles." -BlackMuffin

"I think we should probably rename this thread to "Necrochambers - an endless series of incredibly short bloodbaths"."- Urist McKiwi

"This is all getting really spooky; Necrochambers might be the nastiest and creepiest succession fortress to have ever graced a forum."-BlackMuffin

"Necrochambers is shaping up to be the disaster of Boleteria(Demon Souls). Instead of a gray fog, its a cloud of miasma encroaching the world!"-Geallen

Now let us continue the carnage once more! I hope when it comes to my turn, I can make a small fortress of nothing but mason-warriors. They'll make a small hut and one miner will dig down, and he'll just dig, and the other 6 will just decimate anything that comes near them.

[Geallen]

Hehe, I was so sad when I had the last bouts of FUN! I was planning on making a link to the outside world on the border of the map so wagons could come in. The best part about it is I would've tunneled from underground collapsed a moat and start building a wall for my archers to piss on the zombies! Let the madness Ensue!

[highmax28]

I may just take a squad of 5 marksdwarves, one miner and one mason and have them gun down anything that shows up

[peregarrett]

Will start today after my work.
How have it died last time? What should I be prepared to - a siege, forgotten beasts or something?

Starvation I think it was?

[Geallen]

It was starvation/dehydration of 22 dwarves from melancholy. Yea it was that bad, they didn't go berserk instead they went EMO.

From what I remember, best to use an airlock to get trade and migrants. Last time I didn't make a meeting hall zone in the airlock so I had to fully open, baaddddd. Basicly find yourself a place to hole in(my fortress is safe, no zombies or necros) and bring looooots of food. Its not that its hard to get food/seed, its that you get 25 migrants off the bat since its reclaim. Also there should be 3 pickaxes in that fortress somewhere, so you'll only need to bring one pickaxe.

PS(also there is a forge too, so don't waste anything on an anvil!)

[highmax28]

I'm not going anywhere out there once I get there. Expect a militaristic dwarf for my turn to narrate

[Geallen]

Yea, I think I'm a bit too enthusiastic about helping others succeed. Brand with fire! Rekindle my Dworfy balls of brass!

[WoobMonkey]

Ah, the sweet, cloying attar of the halls of the damned...  The soothing, rhythmic buzz of the blowfly's wings...  The endless masquerade of the dead, shuffling and dancing their way to new atrocities...

I want to visit Necrochambers.  May I?

[Geallen]

When this is all over, no doubt the legend of this place will truly be compounded into a diamond(Philosopher's stone anyone?) by then from all the death and misery.

WoobMonkey I'll add you, got here just in time. We won't be accepting for awhile now it seems.

But that's funny, The North Corridors did fine without king! Since 55 they founded three new outposts.
And I guess it's time for them to claim Necrochambers! By the blessing of Raz the Frenzy of Shileds, the holy hoary marmot!!!

[Geallen]

Funny thing, the ghostly mason Roshev made one or two statues of Thob! Good luck. I'll be checking later in the day for this!

[peregarrett]

And the last question before I start. Am I allowed to retry if (when) first attempt fails in a few seconds after embark?
