This is a very elaborate plan, Maxcat.

[maxcat61]

Fperson: you are dead (or at least not alive). I have no idea how you died. I can dorf you, if you want. If you go into the militia, you can explore new lands, meet new demons, and kill(be killed by) them.

Chaoseed: The plan that I am doing is nothing compared to what I do on my personal forts. Unfortunately, I only have 1 year to kill them all, so I can't set up anything too elaborate. At the way things are, I will probably open the Car late auttom/early winter. I should be able to play some more tomorrow. Roughly 1/3 of the mechanisms have been placed, the traps are set, and the supports are hooked up. Clowns are immune to traps, unless they suffer from a cave in. And because I am using stone traps, there should be multiple a chain reaction of traps going off. This should kill or cripple the demons made from light stuff that I really don't want the militia to fight (Smog, mist, magma, ect).

My main issue is equipping the squads with Candy. As such, I have set up 3 crafts-dwarf workshops to do nothing but extract strands, which feeds 1 magma furnace that makes waffers. I may be redundant, but Skiamechanic is probably the best smith in the entire fortress, as he is a legendary weaponsmith and metalworker. Searouslly: masterwork Candy weapons are the best.

Well, I was in the militia. Offscreen catastrophes and all that. Redorf me as Fperson2. If you have any unclaimed weaponsmiths or armorsmiths I'd prefer that, if not some random axedorf.

[maxcat61]

Ok. Fperson II, you are an armorsmith now. I didn't get much time today, but I will go on a rampage tomarow. I hope to get to winter in the least.

[maxcat61]

Some days, you find the magma. Other days, magma finds you. I guess you could call this a bad day:

Luckily, there were no deaths, and the flow was slow enough that I could finish my tomb before it was engulfed. In other news, the furnace operators are refusing to smelt the candy into wafers. Work on the mechanisms continues.
Galena 28th: The last of the traps are complete, all that is left is 4 more bridge hookups. After that, I will send the militia to the Slaughter house Approved Combat Station, send the civilians to the lever room and dining hall, seal the lower half of the fort, and open the Car.

2 more hookups left. The dwarven Traders came, and I took everything that they had that was made of steel, which I will melt to make armor.

The FPS are so slow, I have had the game running in the background for 6 hours, and I barely made a season. I will do my best to finish tonight, though.

[maxcat61]

All of the mechanisms are ready. The militia is assembling, and the Civilians are hiding: it's time to do this. I hope that everything goes as planned.

Do not read any farther if you want to avoid spoilers.




















The militia is ready, like lambs to a slaughter.


The sacrifice digs, not knowing what he will find.


Poor fool.

103 demons emerged from the darkness. My worst fears have been confirmed. I can only hope that my mechanical preparations were enough.

It was a hard fight. Many lives were lost. The demon force was whittled down to 5 demons, with only 1 of them above hell, at the cost of just about every member of the marksdwarf squad, and about 15 others. Here is the aftermath.

I would call this a success, but I don't know how many will survive the hospital. Fperson II lived, I killed a named turkey monster, and Dorsidorf took some !!Boiling Extract!! to the knee (he used to be an adventurer). Peragin had his left hand, and both legs crushed. I don't have high hopes for his survival. The miner died by suffocating in his own ash. That's all for now.

It begins.

[Chaoseed]

The end is near!

[maxcat61]

We survived!!!

[Chaoseed]

The end isn't near!

[TheCheeseMaker]

Edit: Never mind, I didn't realize you put it in your post above.

A few questions:

1. Is Vabok still alive? If so did he get any kills?
2. Did that help the fps in any way?

[maxcat61]

There were no named deaths from demons. That said, a lot of dwarfs were injured, so I will have to check. I don't know if there are even enough beds in the hospital to help everyone.
2) I guess FPS are better. 25 deaths make things better, but right now everyone is just hauling stuff. I would recommend that only good computers try to work the save.

That said: I am going to try and airdrop some masons, diggers, and military into hell to try and start an outpost (or at least set it up for the next overseer. Who knows how well it will work. I just want all the Candy.

On second thought, I will just focus on killing that last demon, healing the military, stop worrying and love the zombie troll.

[Chaoseed]

Well, my computer is PRETTY good...

How did you manage this? Are we going to get any details other than 'we survived'?

[maxcat61]

We survived because my trap worked really well against snow and steam demons. It killed about 40-45 of them. The rest was just a a straight up fight between the militia and the demons, and when a demon fights 60 angry alcoholic midgets, the midgets win. The 1st room (the one covered is miasma) had about 15 demons come in before I sent the militia to attack. After that, it was simple 6v1 or 10v2 as the dwarfs walked down the pathway, killing every demon they encountered. Honestly, I was expecting more. I have heard so many stories about demons killing everything. I guess that the militia was just really good (except for the marksdwarf squad, those poor marksdwarfs-all dead but 2). It shouldn't be that hard to start colonizing hell, if you can just make the stairway. Right now the hole is sealed, and the wounded are being recovered. I am on the road right now, so I can post a better update this evening.

Also, read what I posted a few days ago. I edited it.

Excellent work, Maxcat.
