This was an interesting turn. Good job Man! I was getting lonely being the only one with two forts.
Mictlan actually built one the same turn as you, but now it's 3 up on the higher fort tier.

We're Bay12er's. If there is a bug, we will find it, exploit it, and make a recursive statue out of it. Just look up Planepacked.

Well my fort is obviously better since my graph overcoloured his graph. Yeah. That said, looking at my neighbours, either they have remarkably idle commanders or they're building forts as we speak. Guess it won't be us three for long. Oh well, there's always that third fort to aspire to.

Needs more fort.

I always have such a hard time getting my second fort up. *sigh*

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

It took me ages to get my second fort up in round 401. I was pretty psyched when I noticed I'd have my second one finished before year 2 in this one. I got lucky with indies that allowed me to pretty much beeline towards my preferred fort location. It also wasn't hard to save up the gold since Jomon caps on resources way before it runs out of gold early on.

Yeah, once I get my first one started the second (and sometimes third) finish a month or two later most of the time. We'll see what happens this time, though! The thrones are doing all sorts of weird things that I hadn't expected.

Tell me about it! My research plan has been radically altered!

I haven't gotten any curveballs throne-wise, but I'm pretty much capped out as far as expansion is concerned.  Time for inward perfection, I guess.

By a throne ? o_O

Well, mine may be nice for me after all, even if I really didn't think so when I first conquered his province... >:D

I'm guessing Boksi is referring to that +5 blood slaves throne he got. I believe all monkey nations get some spiffy unique blood summons even though only Lanka (EA) has recruitable blood mages.

Can you sacrify blood slaves as gems to empower a blood mage, by the way ?

You can empower any commander with blood slaves, even ones without blood magic. That's probably part of the reason why Patala is looking at rethinking their strategy.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

Although the vampire prophet probably helped in that regard as well.

I'd like to note that that's just a regular vampire that does not have any magic paths; it's not a vampire lord.

If you'd do a little research you'd notice that I don't even need to empower anyone. What's a female SC-capable pretender chassis with earth magic that Patala can use? Though I'll need to research Blood 6 before I can get a real blood economy going.

If you'd do a little research

Was that meant to be snarky?
