ShankWheels your local mountain harem... err... "Home"
« on: March 31, 2009, 04:27:33 am »
So I started this fortress and everything went great, year two came along and I got 4 immagrants. Fortress construction was going smoothly, underground farms completed (by cave river). Towercap farm areas are nearly completed (now year 4). Then I started wondering, Why are there so few interuptions? Why is so much work being done? So I looked around and out of 11 there is just one male, the "Farmer". All he does is sit around in the legendary dining hall and every couple of seasons brews some ale and makes some roasts. What a life lol.

No, I think the cook would be in charge of sugar-coating the cows.

You are a lifesaver! Round and probably in tropical flavors.

The first thing that caught me eye "Legendary dining hall". If it's a meeting zone, be warned that you're probably going to have a HUGE tantrum spiral if any dwarf does (Though, on the upside, your dwarves will all be superdwarvenly in every skill).

And man, 11 people in 2 years? But year 2, I'm usually up to twenty something migrants.

And thus did the dream of dwarven antigravity fade away, not with a massive explosion or a flood of magma, but with a whimper.

I'm going to be depressed all day now.

You see, booze is a parasite. It lives off dwarves and compels them to dig into the ground so as to create massive defences to protect it's self. It really shouldn't be called dwarf fortress, Booze fortress would make much more sense.

Elves do it in trees. Humans do it in wooden structures. Dwarves? Dwarves do it underground. With magma.

So this means this fellow zomas can possibly create his own little breed of dwarves? I wonder how many can he befriend before he marries one and causes the whole fort to go into emo spiral... At least untill Urist Mchandsome the immigrant peasant arrives or they decide to practice wrestling, whatever comes first.

That last gobbo would stand there, missing an arm, punctured in a kidney, liver, and spleen, fading in and out of consciousness at the far end of where the drawbridge would go, and his last sight would be the drawbridge dropping down and smashing him like a bug.

God DAMN I love this game!

There are three things I know about dwarves:
1. They've got beards. Even the women.
2. They're short. Especially the women.
3. They're Scottish.

I started a story fort (never posted the story, never actually wrote it) and after embark, i realized i had 1 guy and 6 gals for my embark party.

and the story plan included allowing no imigrants. (that was before i realized he male/female ratio of ma dorfs)
