Sounds a little too close to Doomforests, don't you think? You seem awfully obsessed with all this DOOM.

Need I remind you that this is the sequel to Horrorfailed

[Spish]

Well since nobody seems to care what the name is, let's just roll with Doomedfailed then. Or give it a name relevant to the type of embark we choose.

We must also ensure we're close to a tower, a dark fortress, and have a salt-water aquifier covering the entire map.

That's a tall order, seeing as I'm having trouble finding a FUN embark with even one of those things! Is there a way to force a saltwater aquifer?

In the seed, there is a terrifying, reanimating ocean that rains deadly Acrid Goo (the goo literally beats you to death), but there's not really much you can do with that kind of terrain besides settle close to it. It does border quite a few evil regions though, and there's a part of it frozen into a glacier. I have yet to see a single case of nefarious mist, which is rather disappointing.

[TheFlame52]

That saltwater aquifer is a bit of a stretch, seeing as I've never even heard of one. The others are probably fine, though.

[TheImmortalRyukan]

I'll find a regular aquifer with rest,

And how bout Faileddeath the Doomed Fail of Death

[Spish]

Let's have something less redundant, we still want people to take the fortress seriously you know.

The Redundant Office of Redundancy takes great offense to this statement.


Last suggestion: Failedfail the Failed Fail of Fail

[Spish]

I may have found a suitably !Fun! embark. There's a point on the map where the Lamented Walls (Terrifying Mountain), the Ice of Tears (Terrifying Glacier), and The Bewitched Tundras (Terrifying Tundra) all intersect. It's also reasonably close to goblin and human civilization (Edit2: But not close enough, apparently). I embarked there and my crew was almost immediately torn apart by giant zombie birds. There isn't an aquifer though, but since it's possible to disable aquifers, would it also be possible to force an aquifer through, say, DFhack or something?

There are no trees on the surface either, which would make acquiring wood a bit of a bother.
Edit: The glacier and mountain don't reanimate, but the nefarious mist melts people into pools of blood. Otherwise there is a disappointing lack of freakish weather.

Edit2: In this version, it seems that it is very hard to get neighbors in a large world with the civilizations so far apart. We may have to downsize after all.

[Spish]

I cut the worldsize in half (left all the other variables the same) and yeah, it's a whole lot easier to get elf+goblin+human and necromancer neighbors now. It also cycles through the calendar slightly faster. Cranked the evil weather types up to 500 and it doesn't seem to make a difference, still can't find any cool syndromes, at least, not on the level of Horrorfailed. What sort of wizardry did it take to get both freaky rain AND deadly mist?

[TheFlame52]

I don't see any reason to have more than 5 of each of those. Or more than one necromancy or disturbance interaction.

ImmortalityTower also had both of these. What a great and welcoming place this was.

[Spish]

I set the weather types to 5 and all I got was 5 varieties of blood rain; although the dwarf blood had citizens vomiting all over the place.

Apparently there's a way to see a txt of the region interactions in an uncompressed save file. Guess I'll try that, cause this is taking way too long.

[kleanea]

I'd like a turn.

[Spish]

Yo Ryuken, you should update the turnlist/dorflist. When people see that there are only two people on it, that looks bad for us.

Shall we say that the first 6 players + Andreus are our starting seven? I have a feeling we won't be getting an elf (Archereon) into the fortress alive for a few years.

[Sanctume]

A turn. A dorf. If you please.
No name yet? How about "Murdervillage the Doom of Horrorfailed"

That sounds fine, and yeah, the OP could really use an update.
