Okay guys, so, in light of my sudden lack of promptness with updates due to several factors (wanting to start a new story fort using either orcs or humans, Skyrim, Angel Abbey being put down permanently, Carryscar being close to a story conclusion, and new DF version,) I've decided to post two saves: Riverrun as it currently is, and Riverrun at the very beginning. You guys can begin alternate universes, and I'll set up a post to catalogue them all!
All you need to do is makes sure they're marked as "Alternate Timeline [whatever the hell]" so I can organize them accordingly and to not confuse people. This doesn't mean I'm bailing completely, because I still have things I want to do and I still want to run the fort myself for the "main event" stuff. I just wanna do other stuff and don't want this particular fort to die outright.
Now, I do have a stipulation. The nobles and admins are running the show, not your dwarves unless they happen to be one of those individuals. I tried to make it clear this Splint was
not in charge of anything but the militia - literally nothing. Everything that was built and done was not on his orders. The acts of horrific violence on the other hand were all him, to give you an idea. For example, the Mayor could tell Splint to kill something but it's up to him if the order is carried out, and Splint can put in a request for better weapons but it'd be the manager/smiths' own decision to prioritize weapons and armor over crafts and furniture. So keep this in mind, if only to have some measure of cohesiveness in presentation.
The saves!This means if any of you have a different direction in design, various projects or what have you, have at it, and keep this thread posted!
