[Waistcoats]

I get the sense this is against my better judgement, but I can certainly give it a go!

[Quietust]

In an effort to better understand the mess of levers in this fortress, I've written a DFHack-23a plugin lever_links to display trigger linkages while in BuildI[t]em mode - when viewing a building's contents, select a mechanism and it will print the name of the linked building (and flash it if it's on-screen) and give you the option to [z]oom to it (with the cursor positioned so you can zoom back again).

[Fleeting Frames]

That's unexpected and great. Does it work both ways?

If by "work both ways" you mean "query levers to find targets and query bridges/floodgates/etc. to find levers", the answer is Yes.

[DolosusDoleus]

Waistcoats: Feel free to take the save and give it a go! It should be the most recent one located in the turn list.

Also: Hooray for DFHack plugins! All praise Quietust!

Can I have a turn? of course, considering I haven't played 2d DF before today, I am going to probably destroy the fortress. but, hey, alcohol explosions and guts everywhere are just part of a working fort, right?

Of course you can! Considering that waistcoats hasn't responded, you can take the save right now.

It is here: LINK

Be warned, though: there are only 2 living dwarves, and it'll be 2 months before migrants arrive (assuming the Goblins send babysnatchers instead of thieves just after the Elven caravan).

[DolosusDoleus]

Okay. This has now officially come to the point at which I am now completely unable to figure out what to do next. I absolutely cannot pester people at this point, because I'm at best able to devote time to the forums every 4-5 days because of college.

Combined with the fact that the chances of fortress salvage are extremely slim at this point, it is with a heavy heart that I am forced to bring !!THROWBACK FORTRESS!! to an end. Sorry everyone.

I'll be typing up a conclusion to the saga of Boarpaints once I get the time to do so.

And one last thing: I do plan to start !!THROWBACK FORTRESS 2!! at some point in the future, although it will probably be next year. It will be in 40d, with a couple of special mods that I made earlier on. I'm sure that it'll be just as great as this fortress was.

I'll see you guys around.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

We ended with only two people left alive right?

[Gwolfski]

We ended with only two people left alive right?

Yep.

Yep.

Whelp, we can tack on another similarity to Boatmurdered, then.

[NCommander]

I suppose it's fitting I survived until the end of Boarpaints. I did burn the place down. I do have some spare time TBH, I could write a final conclusion to close this out this weekend if people want.

That would actually be pretty cool if you could. I'm still planning to write something up that would tie this into the next fort, so I'll try to tie what you write into my own thing.

OOC: I promised a finale and I'm writing it now

This is a scorched masterwork journal owned by Kol 'NCommander III' Uristlaven. It contains the final records of Boarpaints

I don't know how long it's been. Me and Iden remain the last two survivors after the great fortress fire, and the purging of the nobles. Ever since that rent in time, I can't help but think that something has gone wrong with the world.



Not a single dwarf has come since we reclaimed Boarpaints. Year after year, the goblins continue to siege us, only to be met at the hands of a fiercy firery death. Iden and I have learned to cope, we've learned to grow, we survive.



I can't help but wonder what he thinks. Ever since the fire, he's been quiet and I often go days at a time without seeing his beard in the many hallways that make up Boarpaints. We've been underground for so long that we've lost track of the time.

"Iden, I'm going to leave. Try and find others, do you wish to come?"

He nods. We decided. We shall leave the cursed earth and find new grounds.

A mistake ... as crossed the hills beyond Boarpaints, we found nothing but goblins, and other nightmares. We ran, but Iden was too slow. Sprinting into Boarpaints, I locked the doors behind me, and flooded the fortress. I stand alone.
