Succession games have been a legendary mainstay in dwarf fortress' community. Legendary forts like Boatmurdered and Necrothreat have had a huge impact on our forum culture and still live on today. With the release date of the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress anounced at the sixth of december, I thought it would maybe be fun to start a new one, so we can enjoy and explore everything that's been added together. Of course, I'm not entirely sure if the first steam release will even allow us to trade and share files, but it's worth a try. I'm wondering if there'd be more people interested!

Rules for playing!

• Players have 7 days to finish 1 ingame year.
• Once a turn is complete, I'll DM the next on the list, who has 48 hours to accept and start the turn
• If anything comes up during or before your turn that prevents play, feel free to DM me to get a little break going or move you down the turn order
• Turns need to be played on the Premium steam version of the game, since I don't think there'll be save compatability
• Don't bother the necromancers until we are ready

[AvolitionBrit]

Certainly I'm down, if it is possible to pass saves around.

[Bad_Goblin]

Sounds like a great way to celebrate a milestone in the game's history.

[voliol]

The save files have to sit somewhere even in the Steam version, and I see no version of reality where the Toad would go out of his way to make them trickier to find. Hmm, I suppose with the mods being extracted from the save files, you'd have to make sure all players had the same mods downloaded to be used by the succession world. That should be no issue for a vanilla pass-around though.

I don't know if I'll have the time to participate, but planning to watch whatever comes out of this.

[Salmeuk]

I'm always down, yeah.  new version is gonna be tough to put down

[brewer bob]

Possibly, but can't say for sure yet. I'll definitely be following though.

[Lord_lemonpie]

Will succession forts/trading savegames be possible in the initial steam release, or will it take some time for that to be possible?

Mr Crabman: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=169696.msg8424214#msg8424214

Yeah, even though we added the new timelines and etc., in the file structure itself there's basically no change here.  In Steam, you can open your local files and add/remove stuff from the save folder like before.

Well, we got confirmation that we'll be able to start right away! Anyone got cool inspiration for a narrative concept, embarking location or goal for the fortress?

[King Zultan]

While I suck at fort mode and won't participate in this I'll still watch it to see what happens in this one.

[Eniteris]

Post to join.

Narrative concept: it is the Age of Steam after all. Water/magmaworks? Cast obsidian?

[Mobbstar]

Count me in!

One tricky part about savefiles in Steam may be the CloudSync, assuming Toady already did that part of Steam integration, but either way we can turn that off by going into the Steam or DF settings.

As for theme, we should make use of the colours and visible statues and stuff!

[daeizer]

Sign me up

[Eniteris]

Ooh new idea, which I might run if not used:

Every year, each overseer gets a single z-level to build on (one deeper than the year before). They can't modify the floors of previous overseers, but can enqueue job orders and the like.

[MCreeper]

I'll join, mayhaps. Although it seems that i noticed this thread a wee bit too late. 

[Ulebtatlosh]

I'd love to join

[Lord_lemonpie]

Great, nice that there's a lot of people interested! I've made a preliminary turn order and i'm hyped to get this started in two weeks
