If you want Visual Fortress to make the pyramid have the same proportions as the actual pyramids, try setting the block dimensions to z14, x11, y11, so that the gradients of the sides are similar.

Wait , Am i reading the Real thing?

I don't know.  Are you?

Ok I tried it.  The pyramid looks good but everything else is all squatty looking...



I guess this is what Blockedlance would actually look like in real life, though, as I'd imagine dwarven structures WOULD look squatty to human eyes.

It is now Spring of 275



The population continues to climb mercilessly.  Look at this!  Only a handful of pagans....and theyre all in the military (except for Khamero and Eagle).  We started with 1, then climbed up to a population of 234 at our highest, then we went down to 43 at our lowest after all the pagan killings.  Now here we are, the stock of an Armok worshiping dwarven master race!

Huzzah!!!



Not much happens this year.  Mogror Harbett's new engineering project has been the further expansion of the outer walls to build a more grand entrance to the fortress proper.  Jewelettarette is still mayor of the fortress (shes had that locked up for several decades now) and Khamero is still barking orders at his younger sons and daughters to get these spoiled noble brats to work.  As you can see above, the food stockpiles are still low, and the booze stockpiles arent full enough for 92 dwarves either. 

With Urist falling in love, that will soon be three couples having 1.33 babies per year.  3 * 1.33 = 4.  We will be getting 4 babies per year once Urist marries.  That is a LOT of poopy diapers.

Marvelous time to reach finally reach the present in the story. Mind if I call dibs on the first heir of Urist not already claimed by yourself?

Name can be Draken. For either gender.

Spring 276



Kulaka continues to wine and dine the old Empress.  Food and drink stockpiles are still not very plentiful and the population continues to grow.

Our military continues to train.  Our two marksdwarf squads take turns training in the old barracks.  After firing countless numbers of wooden bolts, they start becoming champion level, just like our axedwarfs.



In other news....

Someone died!



I was shocked at first because I assumed it was an Armok worshiper.  That was when I remembered a couple of the Stonecutters were still pagan.  So good riddance to this trash.  He didnt even have a memorable name.  I'm glad hes dead.  If he hadnt died I woulda killed him.

Stil....

It vexes me how he died.  Theres enough booze....and even if there werent, theres still a few murky pools left, and several places in the underground river system to drink.  How did he die from thirst?



Oh.  He walled himself onto an isolated ledge.  What an idiot.

[Argonnek]

I love this story. Every death absolutely fails at being tragic, and ends up being simply funny.

Oh.  He walled himself onto an isolated ledge.  What an idiot.

I lol'd.

I know you're ahead in the story, but the legacy of Akigagak Citylancers, the Romantic Flayer, Lord of Bondage and Scourge of Goblinkind must return!

Any military dwarves bumming around that could conceivably be plot-twisted as his spawn?

Actually, I plan on the return of Lord Akigagak!  Plus a couple other dwarves....

Earlier, I loved your joke off of One Dwarf Against the World. Heh heh.

Spring 277



96 dwarves.  And counting.

Booze stockpiles are rising, but food is still somewhat low, although manageable.  Khamero made a couple more of his spoiled kids cook and brew for us so that we could guarantee a 24/7 production line.

But who cares about babies and booze, when love is in the air?

Tensions are high in the fortress as Urist openly snubs the Duke.  Khamero and his clan are being forced to work to keep the fortress fed, and instead of the new nobility, it seems the majority of his offspring will now make up the new peasantry.  The foul mood of the fortress possesses a young child...



In an effort to win over the Empress, and preserve the lives of he and his family, a young child has gone all creative and OCD on us.  He presents the Empress with a gift of an artifact crown...



Syrupticks eh?  That sounds like a horrible affliction.  I wouldn't want to have sex with anyone that had syrup ticks.  It's not quite as fancy as Urist's raw adamantine crown, but hey, it's an artifact.  And hey, Urist has a use for a crown that is not as nice as hers, for in this year, at long last, the 123 year old Empress finally marries!!!



There is a massive celebration and a huge feast that Khamero's children are forced to prepare and cater.  During the celebration, Empress Urist crowns her new husband Kulaka Whipcolor the Priest-King of Blockedlance!

All hail Empress Urist!  All hail the Priest-King of Armok!  Blood for the Blood God!
