Tower defence isn't fortress defence?

[peregarrett]

Okay, I'm getting a weird bug when I try to gen a world.  I'm using fort defense, but every world I generate has no dwarfs and has me play as gremlins.  Is this intended in fort defense?  I went to the raws and dwarfs are still the only race with the [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] tag.

Let's play as gremlins then, LOL!

Everything but Gremlins are extinct?
The worlds you genned must be incredibly awesome. Gremlin fort?

[Geallen]

I don't know 4masks exact situation, but you can as select your race from the Masterwork launcher, it is intuitive enough for what it does.

I know that.  I have a masterwork fort genned, but if people prefer to go with the gremlins I'm all for it.

Edit:  Nope, masterwork it is, because while I can't figure out what is causing this issue, my dwarf fortress files appear to be messed up in some way.  I embark as gremlins, but they can't be given tasks, as "pets" and for some reason a fire started immediately upon embark.

I think armok is trying to say something to us here...

[4maskwolf]

Pretty much.  I'm currently running the fort in masterwork and have lost like 15 dwarfs in the first two years.  On the bright side, no turtling.

That'd be because despite being the only sentient race around, gremlins still aren't [civ_controllable]. I don't know if they have a civ entity in Masterwork, but if they do it doesn't permit the reactions to do anything.
You could just copy-paste the dwarf civ in the raws, change the race to Gremlins, and generate a new world. That should fix it, and the game should be functionally identical.

[4maskwolf]

It's fine, I'm already two years into the masterwork fort.  It's caused by a glitch somewhere in the raws of my dwarf fortress, because removing fort defense changes nothing.

Alright. So, in between updates, y'all think we  should compile the amazing quotes of the Necrochambers threads?

[4maskwolf]

I'm going to post an update from the mountainhome's perspective of the first four years of the fort. Soon. As soon as I get on a proper computer.

It... just... won't... die!

I'm serious, I have been doing everything I can to kill this damn thing for the past two years, and NOTHING WORKS!!!

I can't trigger a tantrum spiral, I can't get all of the dwarfs killed, and I don't feel like outright cheating and making them stop getting food or something.

Alright, here's an update for you all:

From the diary of the caravan master Urist
Year one, arrival at Necrochambers:
We have arrived at the newest fortress of the mountainhomes!  We came bearing massive amounts of supplies, which they gratefully traded away many fine crafts for.  While all the crafts were stone, they spoke proudly of the massive wealth in the depths, veins of gold and iron ore, yet untapped.  They lead me down to the mines and showed me the gleaming nuggets they had extracted from the rock.  In a few years time, this fortress will become rich, it seems.  I have high hopes for next year.

If you can't kill 'em, breach hell. Try to win, though; seal off the rest of the fort, stop the demons from getting past the cavern layers, and send a huge military at them. Worst case scenario: You lose, and tantrum spiral. Best case scenario; you win, start building a hell colony, and have a tantrum spiral triggered by attrition rates building the hell colony.
You must do it, 4maskwolf. Do it for all dwarfkind.

[4maskwolf]

I have less than 50 dwarfs. What massive military?

On a more serious note, I might be able to kill them tonight.
