Poll's close the sixth, got stuff to do this weekend. If anyone's got any special animals they want me to bring, say it now. There's no guarantee that the civ has them, but who says that should stop us from trying to min-max.

id like to be in this. as for animals do we have pokemon like like last time if so id like a rapidash if possible or at least a scyfer I....think that's the bug type with swords for arms right

helmet snakes

A Chomp or two would come in handy, if we can afford them.

It's unlikely that they are available to our civ, but we should definitely pick up a Tormentor if we ever get the chance.

A whole bunch of regular chickens would be funny against the backdrop of insanity.

I'd be amazed if the chickens weren't insane, themselves. Is anything sane in this world?

Fancy Velociraptors will make the fort more lively with their bright plumage and adorable chirps with the added benefit of eating rats.

Dark type pokemon can protect the koopas from ambushing mismagiuses, at least if we think in pokeymans logic. In reality any absol, weavile or incineroar would have its skull caved in with a single shadow ball. Dark pokemon without a head? Can't think of any.

If we have access to jian, we could take one and try to find it a darling, as a side quest.

Huge dinosaurs and other massive predators are always handy in raids. Laser Ceratosauruses were doing a great job the last time. We should have a safe breeding program for something fancy. Allosinosaurus would be cool, but we can settle on something more mundane.

Battle thralls could come in handy. Trolls and beta males are classics; oni are smarter and learn mace really fast, but they were supposed to be pets for a specific race, so if you haven't given them to koopas, they won't appear; deep ones have an electric discharge interaction that would fry koopas alive.

Didn't they have [MEANDERER], which caused raids to take forever? (Taking ages to get off map) At least that is my diagnosis of that phenomenom, since I've seen the same in vanilla DF.

So maybe avoid such creatures this time.

I’m pretty sure I patched out MEANDERER since the original fort. If not, it’s an easy fix.

Alright, rocky wasteland it is. Do we want to be within range of the tower or not. The only reason I'm asking this is because I've found that the game has trouble loading invasions from tower entities that are necromancers. I've found that being within range of a friendly tower causes the game to hard crash about a year in, but I don't know if that's a specific secret doing that or because the game isn't built to understand the existence of friendly towers. The tower in question is not friendly, but I also haven't confirmed what the secret it holds is. Do we want to risk it and just start near it and wait, or should I look in Legends to confirm that the embark site won't be botched by a weird secret?

[Enemy post]

I'd use Legends.

[IndigoFenix]

I'd say start.  Since we don't even know what causes the bug, extra information wouldn't help, and there's no fun if we're just going to avoid everything new.  If the game does crash, we can then look at Legends after to try and figure out what caused the problem.

[King Zultan]

Let us begin!

[MottledPetrel]

And here we are (I'll get a real update out in a little bit):






There was a little bit on the next page, but I forgot it.




I don't think I've ever seen this many animal men in one spot, but I'm curious to see what they do.

[Darkening Kaos]

     All I see is lots of fresh food.  Gotta catch them all!!
