"Welcome to Boarpaints! Oh, no, ignore the gory charred mess all over the gate, it's perfectly safe here with zero chance of unicorn-assisted forcible ventilation, gibbering insanity or dwarf-induced, catastrophic melting of everything."
Prologue:
A battered rat leather journal lies at your feet. Unmarked and yellowed from years of age, it seems strange, as if it was from sort of more primitive era. Unbeknownst to you, you stand before the history of one of the strangest, one of the most impossible artifacts of our time.
You pick it up, open it and begin reading.
"24th Opal 1453
Today we finally arrived at our embark site and man, I have to say that this is some weird, messed up place. I mean, I know we call it the hills of plague for a reason, but something seems... off. The rest of the lads feel uneasy too. I suppose the King has his reasons to send us here, but damn. What the hell does he want with this place??
25th Opal 1453
The miners began digging into the mountain today, and after going through no more than 20 urists, they found this... thing. I've never seen anything like it in my entire life, its like a doorway, but with no door. Gives me the creeps, that's what it does.
28th Opal 1453
That doorway thing that I was talking about earlier? Damn thing started glowing purple today. Gives me the creeps, thats what it does. We're gonna stay far, far away from it.
29th Opal 1453
I woke up today, and the fortress was... gone. Nothing here is any way recognizable. And everyting looks... flat.
Something has gone horribly wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The difference between 2D and 3D dwarf fortress is simply staggering. With the introduction of v0.30, caverns were introduced, the dwarven economy was removed, and the entire game's systems were given a complete overhaul.
So my proposition is that we go back to the days of Boatmurdered and give ol' v0.23a a go again! Will we survive? Will we prosper? Who am I kidding, we're all going to die horribly. But we can give it a try!
Overseer Rules:
Please make updates in character! It makes the thread
more pleasant to read.
The more screenshots in your updates, the better.
Please make sure to make some sort of way to let us know you're alive after your turn starts! If you do not make any posts for 72 hours while it is you turn you will be skipped! In addition, if you don't make a post within 24 hours of the last save being posted, you will also be skipped.
If I have to remind you to keep the thread notified three times, you will be immediately booted out of the turn list. I'm sorry, but I've had to remind people about this too any times now.
No using exploits! They cheapen the whole succession experience!
No using custom tilesets! Some people don't know how to uninstall them and if you fuck up our display tiles you'll have hell to pay.
No digging up the adamantine until we are well and truly fucked! We don't want a premature endgame!
EDIT: We are using a patched .exe developed by quietust to deal with some annoying bugs. It is highly reccomended that you use it. To use it, simply replace your dwarf fortress exe with the one in the link below:
