Was goign smoothly in Daggerearth, but some kind of issue keeps arising in mid-winter, causing a crash. Never seen anything like it, and apart from some problems with a mod's creatures (mis-defined materials and such) the game and error logs have no indicators of what may be the actual cause of it.
Went back to Fireblade, and that too needs to be abandoned. The militia commander's unit suffered the dreaded "never returns" bug on a raid that was less than a week out, and I know if I retire it, the place will have theives descend on it and look all the artifacts given enough time without me there to kill the would-be thieves. Shame, cause I liked that fort. Hell at least one was stolen in the two-week span of a test retire/unretire.
Suppose I'll have to wait until my expanded mod is ready, here's hoping for marble.
EDIT: May as well share Fireblade before chucking the save into the ether.
EDIT II: So I rolled up a new world while I wait for someone to get back to me on the creatures.
The world I got was apparently first colonized by goblins, as it sports the name The Windy Planet in the goblin tongue, with the region being divided between "The Land of Death" (real encouraging) and two oceans, The Sea of Filling to the east, and The Matched Sea in the southwest.
The dwarves mostly reside on the southwest and eastern slopes of The Spine of Mastery, while others live in a small mountain known as The Wall of Bleeding. There was also a small dwarven presence in the far north, on the southern slope of The Polished Points, but the fortress, called Fatalsilvers, fell to neighboring goblins and then to a bronze colossus and subsequently saw a giant move in. This has left one dwarf civ, The Decisive Knives, on its last legs.
The northern end of "The Spine" is bereft of dwarves, and I found that strange at first, until I noticed it was considered untamed wilds, and for good reason - The Spine's northern slope is peppered with Roc nests, as well as a cave called "The Hairy Shaft" (very unfortunate,) that hosts what can be assumed to be the fire-breathing master of The Spine, the Dragon known as Acathi Jewelbranded, the Luxurious Furnace.
This she-beast is apparently especially hated by the elves of The Contained Musics, at least assuming most of the elves who died there are from the same nearby civ. This talk of dragons and rocs makes me want to try and capture them though, as there's only two living male and three female dragons left in the world. Probably won't though.
I think I might go with the Decisive Knives, though I dunno if I wanna try to reclaim thier old capital or not, if I want to settle along the northern slopes of The Spine, or even just settle somewhere near enough to the ruins to recover its treasures.
EDIT III: Okay, so I may or may not have just murdered the Deciscive Knives' nobility and remaining priesthood.
