Some migrants have arrived!

Welcome to Vúshlitast, population: too bloody many.

Welcome weary traveler to Vúshlitast, a beautiful fort with a legendary dining hall, a metal industry fueled by magma and sturdy walls to keep you safe... oh that guy locked in his office? Oh, he's fine... just don't go to sleep in there...

Introducing my fairly long-running fortress mode video series Vúshlitast, where I try to make a swanky and illustrious fort fit for a king. We're just at the point where the Fun has started to arrive, with our first siege 25 episodes in. I have been doing my best not to invite too much death and mayhem upon the fort as I want this to be a long-lived establishment, but rest assured eventually I will be considering the ridiculous Fun and I'm more than open to suggestions about projects to liven up the place (although I'm not a fantastic engineer, I've managed to flood the place twice). I'm also happy to name dwarves after anyone who asks, I have plenty of the blighters (upwards of 200, tie a bloody knot in it would you) and it actually makes the place easier to organise. State your preferred occupation if you have one.

Vúshlitast is perched at the edge of an ocean, surrounded by luscious forest and is visited by beautiful wildlife such as swans, swans and swans. The immediate surroundings are exceptionally flat, and so the entrance to the fort is a hole in the ground glorious ramp into untold wonderment. The main fort is no more than 10 levels down, composed mainly of rhyolite and stuffed with masterwork furniture. The metalworking industry is in a separate, sealable shaft way down near a magma tube 70 odd levels below the surface, in case of... things. Only one cavern layer has been breached, and re-sealed, which unfortunately does not have any spores in it so no underground fauna yet.

The good news is, you don't have to jump in to the middle or trawl through previous episodes to find out what has happened so far if you don't want, as I have made a highlight reel of the first 25 episodes! So you can catch up on the important events so far in a matter of half an hour. Click the image to watch. New episodes are posted daily.

Wrong subforum, DF LP's have a separate one.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.
