YouTube Dwarf Fortress Succession Game!
« on: September 13, 2016, 10:59:35 pm »

My friend Rogueliker and Me (Sabouts) have been recording a series of episodes in a Succession Game fashion. So far it has been a blast and it's been super fun overcoming challenges that each of us have accidentally (or purposely) set up for each other!

The rules for the series are that each of us will get two episodes with the fortress before we have to pass it on. Each episode is roughly 20 - 30 minutes long. Once we have survived our first year, we are allowed to issue each other more formal challenges that need to be completed. However, the challenge must be issued in some sort of in game method. People have really been enjoying the series and both the Dwarf Fortress and Roguelike subreddits loved the initial set up and first few episodes.

Here is an introductory video explaining some of the rules for our series: https://youtu.be/m3r-Pd9VuHY

If you'd like to skip the intro, Here is episode 1 and 2 to start off! Me (Sabotus) will have the honor of starting this playthrough.

Episode 1: https://youtu.be/2k_rS6voBkQ

Episode 2: https://youtu.be/jht-lt2yxxE

For those of you who wanna keep track of things here, I will follow up with more episodes in the future on this thread. However, if  you wanna just binge watch them all and keep up to track through YouTube, I recommend following along with the playlist as it is the easiest way to see the videos from both of our channels sorted and viewed in one place.

Here is a link to the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgGm2Hh4HVu3yWWWs2LZFveoaUzZVJyEt

As these things always go, we are always taking names for dwarfs! So if you would like your name added, just let me know here or comment on a video. Names are first come first serve!

Enjoy!!!  :D

I hope everyone who has checked out the series has enjoyed it! Here is Roguelikers episodes as he takes the fort into his own hands! I hope he isn't too confused on what my plans were  ::)

I've often found that renaming all of the dwarves using a patronymic principle (changing the wife's and children's surnames into the married male dwarves' surname, plus adding "Miss","Mrs" and "Mr" to denote gender) makes things a little easier to track not only during the fortress play itself, but also with future fortresses and in Legends mode.

Oh that is not a bad idea. You mean adding that so that you can tell which dwarfs have already been named right? So if you started another fort in the same world you would know if any of those named dwarfs showed up?

This is fun. Almost finished watching the episodes. I will take a miner or weaponsmith (preferably weaponsmith) call the dwarf Snow.

Thanks Snow Dwarf! I am glad you are enjoying it. I've added your name to the list and will get you in the game ASAP. We have plenty of dwarfs left for naming.

Alright, here is the next two episodes for the series! I hope you have all been enjoying it so far  :D

Rogueliker takes the fort over and after surviving this long without an axe, we finally get one! Now can he lead us to victory against the evil trees?

The fort is now with me and since we've survived our planned year, it's time to start dishing out achievements to each other for accomplishing! What will mine be first?  ???

The fort is under my control, and for my first challenge... I must save a Dwarf?! I also get some surprise visiters and a human (who is not even a member of the fort) attempts to stall them and buy the dwarfs time, becoming a legend in the process!  :o

I challenged Rogueliker to honor our fallen hero from the last episodes, and he does so in a terrific way!
