[A_Fey_Dwarf]

Welcome to Quickaxe, another in the long list of succession games to hit the Bay12 forums over the past few weeks. First off the rules:

• This is to be a 1 Year = 1 turn succession game. On the spring of the next year you will hand over control to the next in line.
• This is to be an FPS motivated fortress for all of those crappy computers out there. This means, no flowing liquids, 2x2 area, pop cap of 50 Dwarves, and all of the usual FPS saving .ini options.
• We will be using Mephansteras's Civilization Forge Mod to add extra excitement to the game. This mod will add numerous new enemy's to lay siege to our fortress.
• When you join and play your year it is preferred that you tell a story, however if you are low on time or have null skill in creative writing then a short summary of your turn will be fine.
• If you can't complete your turn with-in a week then control will be handed over to the next in line

Download this version of .40c that has all of the .init options preset and the mod already installed: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=509

Thanks go to Mephanstera for this awesome mod.

If you are willing to join please put your name down.

So, no magma?

[EchoP]

Sure, count me in. High FPS fortress sounds good. Adds an extra level of challenge if there is no magma. 

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

So, no magma?

That depends on the general opinion. If we do have magma, as a rule there would have to be as little flow of it as possible. That means no magma death traps. 

I am also wondering on the Population cap. Maybe I should allow the population to get to 80 for the sieges and then cull the population back down to an easier number like 50.

you don't have enemys with those ini settings, or at least you can't see them in fortress mode ...
and for fps i would propose also the nano fortres utility ... it really speeds things up and it is a real chalange to play with it ... (many need of trade)

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

Huh... The init options I'm talking about are Temperature, Weather and G_FPS. I won't be turning off the invaders option so I don't see how that could affect the enemies.

The nano fortress utility is a good idea, but I want a 2x2 area so that we are not as limited by the lack of ground to build on.

[Emperor_Jonathan]

Then I'm in.


I also suggest turning off FPS cap. (as in setting it to 10,000)

i tougth so ... becouse Invaders make les FPS
1x1 is good to learn how build in levels even more if some feature like magma pool takes place ...

[Guillo]

I'd definitely be up for it as well. Slap me on the list

[Paulus Fahlstrom]

Exactly how will you be limiting the population of the fortress? I've heard of people trying this before but with limited success.

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

To limit the population there are options you can change in the data/init folder. In there you will have to open init.txt and scroll down to the population cap area. It is pretty easy to change from there.

I will start my turn sometime next week as I am busy over the weekend.

[Bluerobin]

Hey, sounds like a good time.  Add me in if you could.  This'll be my first succession fort, but definitely not my first fort overall.

[Duke 2.0]

 Sign me on. With the recent FPS steroid-like boost I can do anything!

 *Does a 12x12 fortress with extreme cliffs, flowing water, a chasm and both types of magma*

 Ow...

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

I just have started my turn. Unfortunately 'Nimble' is not in the dwarf fortress dictionary. So I hereby change the name to 'Quickaxe'.

[Bluerobin]

Quickaxe works for me.  I think my post to get added got missed, so could I get put on?
