• Angzak, appearing as a male dwarf, associated with lies and trickery

Mmm.  My suggestion, don't actually make this god one.

Let your premise remain true and known to your game world.  Every god has a temple, absolutely.  But no one can find Angzak's.  Much like the real world Thugee, the followers and worship practices are hidden in plain sight, visible (and misunderstood) only at the moments and methods of the worshiper's choosing.  It's a psychological horror, but from that comes the best form of 'Terror', 'associated with lies and trickery' that I know.

[Shade-o]

I just started what may be an awesome fort. It has a 1-square underground river and pool, magma pipe and pool, medium-length chasm and a bottomless pit, plus circus tent in a fairly small area. It's on the edge of a fairly tall sort of plateau (averaging 34 levels high) with taller mountains (about 46) further in, overlooking a terrifying coniferous forest which never spawns anything more threatening than deer. The whole area is Cold, freezing from mid-autumn to mid-spring, and the forest floor is sand. Under the forest is Dolomite and Marble. The entire mountain range is Obsidian and Gabbro. There are cave spiders all over the place, Phantom Spiders in the forest, and Giant Cave Spiders hunting around the chasm.

The biggest conundrum so far is deciding how big I can make the embark site before it unreasonably impacts my FPS.

And no, no sharesies. I use a ton of self-made mods, and doing as much as changing the frequency of cave crocodiles causes it to turn into serene mountains over an untamed forest, with all the features scattered around. And so on.

Maybe I should do that, and practice getting stuff done fast, dunno.

I don't really know for sure what design strategies I should do and don't know much about design strategies anyway.

My current designs focus on burrows and underground expansion. Also completing a megaproject in 8 years. I'm finding that I can have a relatively stable, impregnible fortress by year 3 with ~80 dwarves working various jobs, and at least 3-4 burrows in place. Admittedly I sacrifice on military, but since the military's getting overhauled it's a moot point to try to prepare for that. My current project is to get large scale pump towers constructed to bring water/magma from the lower depths.

Meng Zonotung, Trapper cancels Rest: Interrupted by Goblin Crossbowman.

And the weirdest thing is that he keeps on giving that cancellation, even thought there's no goblin in sight. I think I'll go and cheat a bit if he survives until Spring and companion him back to good health. But he's got a head, a right eye and a throat, so I don't give him a lot of time...

[Rumrusher]

well I just found out what been killing my dwarfs by fire.
silly thing is it the statue I hook up near the entrance it seems that the rune of warm causes some material to heat up and burst into flames. I found this out by the second death of a groundhog it's a shame too.

[Flaede]

what's this "rune of warm" stuff I keep running across. People keep mentioning it, I know it's a mod. But what on earth is it?

[Jimmy]

Spellcraft Is Reborn! mod.

[Flaede]

thanks. and sorry all for the off topic.

If it helps, my fort has crashed to its doom in direct response to the end of the Nist Akath epic. When that story ended my dwarves realised they could never compete with it's majesty. Then the last trump was sounded, all doors flung open, all levers pulled, and all industry ceased. All prisoners were released, all exits wide, and all (cycling-trigger) traps left running to block them.

Then came the fires and mayhem and blood, blood, BLOOD!
"Your fortress has crumbled" ...as it should. For it was not Nist Akath.

Is there any babelfish-style translation of dwarf to english?
Ziksisberul - in the dwarven language file Ziksis is "split"... and I am now rather curious what that thong name means, but berul is not to be found.

I found this under Mayday's mod.  Not sure if additional words were added in, or if you maybe just missed it or typoed?

Split-bastion, indeed.  And, for all someone else seems fond of leather, there are various fetishy things that can be/are done with rope, including bikini-like/thong-like bondage wraps and ties.

Mayday's mod removes accents from all language files so text appears normal - otherwise you would have Mayday images appearing in names and such. This, incidentally, is why I no longer use a non-standard font.
