Happy New Year everybody!
Regarding save: it's your archiving method/program. I've managed to compressed it to 488 mega. The unarchived save is still 1.97Giga. I was afraid for a while that the game had bloated, but thankfully that's not the case.
It is curious why the archive can compress it less and less, turn 98 was 457MB while mine was 479MB.
Save on DFFD for posterity.
So who did you play as? Because Moldath is still not visible in LV and Kothvir seems to have remained inactive.
In other, but worrying, news, The Staff of Kissing continues to be dying at now 19 dwarves. It needs to be saved ASAP. I'm sorry I didn't notice it during my turn.
Ah, well, not sure how much of a spoiler it is, regarding Jas, but...
Jas died of old age. His son, the necromancer vampire Irka is the new Law-Giver. Will he rule forever? Will a noble adventurer break Bralbaard's decree and kill him? Will he die from an insurrection, being teleported by the game into the caverns and forced to fight his way out, or simply deposed by being taken over and moved for adventures? Stay tuned!
And since it's the New Year, I've updated the stats on
Orid Xem tops. The wiki has had its 1000th article on December 23,
Enôrmigrur influence area, which basically chronicles those 7 hillocks which popped up around Enôrmigrur.
As for the tops, Moldath became the most linked creature someone in November and is now... still neck-and-neck with Bralbaard, surprisingly. Avolition is in 3, at 11 links from the first places (but realistically, from Moldath). The most spectacular jump was Hannibal, who in only two months jumped to 7th place, because of all the ghouls he created and all the death left in his wake.
The stats seem to have stabilized in other places as well. The only surprise in most linked civs is that Quogubpesor (The Creamy Confederacy) is more linked than Mong Uthros (The Nations of Honoring), though I've granted before that Quogubpesor was a force to be reckoned with before it was taken over by a goblin and marched into forever wars with the rest of the world.
In deities, Avuz Thukkan (The Mine of Ambers) is detached in the first place, which does not necessarily reflect world-wide realities, as Ala is in my opinion still the most worshiped in the world, but it probably does reflect dwarven realities. As noted before, where Ala infiltrated the goblins and the elves, Avuz Thukkan has infiltrated human civilizations, from which
Evost Dèg regularly calls to the capital in positions of power within Avuz's most influential religion. Bikda is second and Ala third, the rest mostly Adilatir deities, with Mata Kosenor and Gopet bringing up the rear, but there it's anyone's guess (though likely half the spots will always be filled with Adilatir deities if the trend continues).
The house/dynasty tops have not changed
at all from last month, which is surprising. Hannibal also jumped in most notable kills to take the 8th place.
The most eventful settlements have changed considerably, since this list wasn't updated since the year 780. I've tried to remove the bugged entries where the same creature does the same action for 70 pages. A player dwarf fortress infiltrated there,
Datanzalìs Stinugosh (Ironwards) into the 5th place.
The most linked settlements once again hasn't changed by much.
Zustashmisttar Koshosh Nekut (Ancientknowledge) was already there last month, though it ascended a place. Iroram is also surprisingly at 7th now, slightly understandable since I fleshed it out some time ago, but still surprisingly considering all the ancient and eventful settlements in the list.
Longest pages has also changed its configuration, but I don't know what significance to give to that, if any.
These stats were taken from the January 1 Most Linked Pages and in-game effectively at the end of turn 99.
