Three Rings for the Black Arrow in their Church of Gold,
Seven for the Founders of this Hell, deep in their graves,
Nine for Goblin Hordes Doomed to Die,
One for Japa on his Thone, Laughing at us all,
In the Bay12 Forums where Mermaids Die,
One Rings to Rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and online, build a Bell,
In the Bay12 Forums where Morality Dies.

Year one, just when you thought it was safe out in the frozen wastes. WELL SURPRISE SURPRISE YOU ROCK DELVING SCUM, HONEYMOON'S OVER! WELCOME TO DWARF FORTRESS CONSTRUCTIVORY!

Zefon Bengengudib, Broker:  I can assure you we all have good excuses for not doing work.

Zefon: You see, two dwarves were resting in the hospital.

Zefon: Two dwarves were in the military, and everyone knows they can’t work.  HiddenLeafGuy and I were on break or drinking, so we couldn’t work, and most of the rest were at a party vital to the survival of this fort.  We needed that party.

Get all three races to attack us and we can rename this place Barad-dûr.

A marksdwarf died from infection today.  I assume she was injured fighting the giant cave spider.  That makes four military dwarves dead during my rule.  It also means if you’re in the military and your name is not Shipcat, your survival chances for more than one year are about 50%.

In the spirit of a true Dwarf Fortress title, I made some improvements on Hiddenleafguy's suggestion and am ready to present my own title:

Slaves to Armok: God of Blood: Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress: The Succession Tower: Chapter 2: Constructivory: Tales of Towers and Goblins

Its so terrible that we cannot not use this.

Coming soon in the Winter update...
Constructivory's first and greatest foe returns...
Behold the menace that is...
STATIONARY
MINECARTS!!!

''I will now show you how to better bite targets. This is a skill mostly useful for werebeasts, which we are not. Should you secretly be a werebeast (which isnt the case) or ''accidentally'' become one, this is how, absolutely theoretically, you'd go about to inflict maximum damage and infection.''

You know what?  Screw this.  I'm going to build my own Tower!  With blackjack!  And hookers!

Actually, forget the blackjack.

"Hey mayor, what is that horrible hissing noise coming from the tower?"

"Oh, pay no heed to it, that's just our bookkeeper. I've heard rumors that she has a secret identity, a superhero perhaps? What with her hiding in her secret lab all day long doing super secret superhero stuff. But who knows really?", remarked the mayor as she gave me a knowing wink.

"Oh, I noticed that you have a self-destruct lever that wasn't working right because we had some external support on the tower, so I took care of that."

Fath: Has anyone any ideas???!
[the long silence in the hall, hacking cough]
Heretic(quiet): I think all this tasks are simple. Most of us just stuipid.

What is up with that name?

The dwarf on the left organises goblin mail-order brides

Constructivory is now the home of an

Artifact

ADAMANTINE

warhammer

I remember back in the day when the primary focus of the fortress was building the tower.  That almost lasted a full turn and a half before the queen died and eveything went to hell. Now it's a lot like a regular successsion fortress, but with even more insane architecture and a global war that makes Constructivory, with its death toll of about 10% per year, one of the safest and most stable places on the planet.

There's been some signs of suspicious activity around Constructivory lately. A few bubbles visible in puddles, dwarves without dirt on every inch of their bodies, and--dare I say it--the smallest hint of minty freshness.

There's no way of avoiding the topic- someone's making soap.

TREMBLE MORTALS, FOR THE TRUE TOWER IS UPON YOU!  CASA DEL LOS DIABLOS QUESADILLA DE POLLO

... What the hell? You dedicated the ENTIRE socioeconomic structure of the fortress to crapping on the kitten tower?

Standard fare for community fortresses.

Though this particular fortress suffers from a severe case of Overseer E-peen jousting in the form of increasingly ridiculous architecture.

Random dwarf 1: "Do you hear that?"
Random dwarf 2: "You mean that giant bell tolling above us?"
Random dwarf 1: "No not that."
Random dwarf 2: "Then what? Can't really hear anything besides that damn bell."
Random dwarf 1: "Shhh... listen..."
Random dwarf 2: "I don't hear-"
Random dwarf 1: "Can't you hear? It's the sound of McBarsky's e-peen ego growing out of control."

Overview of the fortress at the start of my turn.

"Tower Shipcat is both a tower, and a cat. It is rather large for a cat, but small for a tower''

See kids, this is why having a safe word is always important.

Sounds fun! I'll take a turn, if you don't mind.

[MobRules]

I wouldn't mind taking a turn at this.

[Taupe]

PTW. Can we request dwarfing? If so I'd like to claim a mason.

[uber pye]

sign me up for a turn!

what happens when we run out of z-lvls?

Channel around the tower and care a basement. Also I'll take a turn at this point

[TheCheeseMaker]

If you set 'z-levels above ground' in advanced world gen to some large number like 200 or above, we should never have to worry about running out.

[Hiddenleafguy]

Btw the world burn.

[Immortal-D]

Oh, an architecture-based Fortress?   Gimme a turn and Dorf, please.

[Zuglarkun]

Requesting for a turn.

[Gwolfski]

me wanna turn. if we ever run out of z-levels, dfhack can add more!!!

[Bearskie]

Wowzah, what a reception . 9 turns signed up for already!  -tacks on a hurriedly drafted turn list to the front post-

Alright, time to get down to business.  I've generated a couple of regions looking for the perfect embark site for our tower; tweaked a couple of minor settings in worldgen, nothing too much.  The world size is 'smaller', history is only up to 50 years, minerals are at a relatively frequent 750.  The z-level cap has been increased to it's maximum: 100z's of sky.  And lastly, civilization numbers have been bumped up, meaning all sites will have human, dwarves, elves and goblin neighbours.

Right down below are 5 different embarks I've selected, in order of increasing extremeness.  Give me your opinions on them, and we'll see which one to choose!

Spoiler:  Hot, Dry and Mild (#1) (click to show/hide)

A triple biome region with a brook; the landscape will probably be arid and desolate.  Apart from wood being a challenge to get, all-in-all this is a fairly easy embark.

Spoiler: Bleepin' Cold (#2) (click to show/hide)

Welcome to Siberia.  Situated in a cold dual-climate environment, this may be the direct opposite of the previous embark.  We're still scarce on trees, but at least the aquifiers are likely to be frozen most times of the year.  Oh, and the desert is named after Taupe.

Spoiler: A Really Tall Mountain (#3) (click to show/hide)

See that peak?  From the ground up, it's approximately 130 z-levels.
..Yeah.
The embark also boasts aquifiers all over, which surprises me because I thought mountains can't have em.

Spoiler:  Five Biomes and a River (#4) (click to show/hide)

I'm a sucker for biome diversity, so this is my personal favourite.  The landscape is a well-elevated river basin, and all the biomes are distinct with their own plantlife and wildlife.  Unfortunately, every one of them except the forest is full of aquifiers, which may make building materials hard to get.

Spoiler:  WeAreAllGoingToDieHere (#5) (click to show/hide)

The good news is that the embark is only partially evil.
The bad news is that only the evil side has trees
*Grin*
C'mon, this'll be fun
And it's actually not that bad

ALSO IMPORTANT QUESTION: 3x3, 4x3 or 4x4 embark?  I'm not so sure about this, but apparently having to simulate 100 extra z-levels of sky affects the fps, so I'm leaning towards smaller embarks.

[Immortal-D]

Is it possible to change the sky limit post-generation?  I just don't see how we would possibly survive long enough to reach the top.  For the sake of fps, I think a sky of 50-60 would be plenty.  I'm also torn between Site 3 & 5 ..... 5.  As for embark size, I always do a minimum of 4x4.  In my experience, if you're going to have fps problems, then a few extra tiles won't make a difference; but having extra building & cavern space is worthwhile.
