I'd love a turn and a dorf please. I would love to be Jamandu, any military melee type preferably with a useless pet but obviously if it does not work out I'm not going to moan. Thank you.

Can I be dorfed?? Just call him 'celt' or something I guess.
Any profession will do, preferably someone who can wield a sword.

Alright, updated OP.

And we'll see if we can't get a useless animal to follow you around, Urist McAxeDwarf.

Alright, I'm going to be uploading the save shortly, I'm running up against having too many fortresses and have technically played through a year.  The winter of my year can go to WoobMonkey.

Do we get a report?

[4maskwolf]

The previous things are about as far as I got.  Sorry.

[Urist McAxedwarf]

That's ok just read through them. Can't wait for my turn.

Sorry Sumyunguy, I didn't mean to opt for a turn, just a dorf.
Thanks for the dorf though!

I have to pass my turn, due to eternal failures in disposing of the dead.  This fort was apparently not designed for easy corpse removal.

Hopefully, the next player is far, far more capable than I - after a full 5 attempts, I admit defeat.

Seriously, why are there animals in cages, especially so far from the dump zone?  Why is there no military whatsoever?  These are serious issues, in a reanimating biome.

Anyways, good luck to the next player; I give up.

[4maskwolf]

you have to unlock one of the doors.  There is a pit, I locked the doors because it has raven corpses in it.  You just have to unlock the door in order to dump corpses.

[WoobMonkey]

I did.  When moving yak corpses out of the animal stockpile (for some reason placed as far from the pit as the dug out room would allow), they'd continually reanimate, killing other animals.  With a militia of only 3 dwarfs, they couldn't keep up with the ever-growing undead population; each new recruit would only add to the enemy's numbers.

Also, it wasn't until the third try that I noticed that some corpses were being stockpiled; a foolish and dangerous move for our dorfs.  With constant injuries (and no hospital?!?!?), awkward stockpiling, and looooooong pathing to get anywhere, the undead re-raised far faster than I could keep up with. 

Regardless of the reasons why, this fort has defeated me.  All hail the new overseer!

The real dwarfs never give up!!! You have got to do this. You can be our last hope someday.

[WoobMonkey]

I suppose I'm not a real dwarf.  I can live with that.

Losing is fun, yes - but continual frustration is not.  Also, the repeated attempts at making my turn work on this fort has left me behind on no fewer than 3 other forts - one of which is on my own thread!   

I think it better to just pass on the reins to BogClasps, in order that I might not let down even more forumites who're waiting for me...

Ok, fixed.

Hey, no worries. Sorry this fort threw a wrench into your plans, and i applaud you for trying 5 times over. Hopefully Rhyme will put his own ideas to work in disposing of corpses.

[Rhyme]

Disposing of corpses? That's elvish. I might try to weaponize them... Or maybe build dwarven Valhalla, whatever takes shorter

[MDFification]

Haven't played on a reanimating biome since Truthdoors. Should be FUN.
I recommend that we get butchering all possible corpses. That stops them from comming back to haunt us. We should definitely make sure the butcher's area can be remotely sealed though.

It's too late for this now, but it might be a good idea to mod in corpse-disposal at the smelters. Burning bodies we can't butcher seems like something that isn't that far from vanilla. Seems like a useful thing next time we embark on a reanimating biome.

[Rhyme]

I haven't unpaused yet. Correct me if I am wrong, we have:
-A dumping area, now with extra undead.
-An atom smashing area.

And those are everything we have to dispose of corpses. Right?
