Sorry guy about not being really active the last 2 weeks, I am ready for my turn right now

I'm astounded and overjoyed that a fortress run half by noobs has almost made it this far. Let's not jinx it - Evilsx, give me a nice easy turn

This is a rather successful little experiment. Embarking in a tundra probably ensured us a little peace and quiet to build.

hehheh.  Tundra may lack the quantity of life that other biomes have, but they tend to make up for it.

Remote tundra embark site, plus the fact that we haven't managed to export much wealth yet, means that we still haven't had a single invasion. Just small ambushes so far.
Which is good, because we haven't had the most competent military.

Now just imagine what would have happened if the biome had a reanimating effect. Speaking of, any reason why there hasn't been a single evil cloud yet?

Not all evil biomes have evil weather.  If a biome has 'evil rain' then you wont get evil clouds/mist/fog.

While evil rain can have effects, usually if its made of blood or something then its just going to cause multiple clean jobs and gross out your dwarves.

Reanimating biomes are not something a beginner should even attempt. Even for experienced players to say it is a challenge would be an understatement. There are strategies for it (like, for example surrounding your butcher with cage traps) but most important is paying attention to announcements, missing even one death in your fortress could be a death sentence. I believe in the new version zombies have been nerfed so it would probably be easier now, but morale would be a real limiting factor. As for biomes, a reanimating tundra (or glacier) is actually not a bad choice since you can probably forget about the surface anyway. For a good community fortress run on a reanimating glacier check out Roomcarnage

[Evilsx]

Shit, life just caught up and I am going to have to skip this time, sorry

[Nail]

So, now it's skullsploder's turn, right?

[Skullsploder]

Whoops, haven't checked this thread in a while. I'll try get my turn all done today

[Dunamisdeos]

I still feel bad about the ice wolves.

[Skullsploder]

My turn is not quite done. In the interest of war ice wolves though, we now have significantly more cage traps placed randomly in the wilderness.

[Lyra]

I'm not exactly new to DF (been playing for about a year), but I am new to succession forts.  Could I perhaps be signed up for a turn?
