Oh hell I gmt'd in the wrong direction.

Diary of Ark, metal smith

Life here at sparkgear has died down to the normal dwarven drivel (make cups sell cups repeat) so I have decided to come to ...sparkgear 2, where one time acquaintance and armok-damned crazy artist Nahkh (the founder of the old sparkgear) had started another fort.

What really drove me to come here was the king (who, I was a personal friend of) coming here.

And dying. Shame that seems to happen at every fort this guy makes.

Date 13 Timber

I had to jot something down as I approached the fort gates.

Why by armok, is there randomly aligned spears in the floor.

At some point I bet they were moving, but currently, they are stopped.

-minutes later-

Oh Armok the layout of this place is hell-to-betsy.

I couldn't fix this with a four yard beard and a set of arrows.

This fortress is just PACKED.
I also hear the groan of fiery balrogs lurking in the deep.
Which is off setting, to be sure.

Timber 18th

I have started construction on a personal manor.
On a less personal note, the barracks are comically small.
The layout of that corner of the fort is my absolute favorite.

Timber 23rd

I am devising a way to get those gosh-darn balrogs out of our fancy metals.

Moonstone 20th

No news from the mountain.
Everything going smooth.

25th moonstone

Oh, exciting!
My manor is flying along, and a muskox or something bumped into a kobold!
I sent the legendary wrestling force to gouge out his eyes, when they found another 2 thieves!
One's arm was lopped off before being put into a cage trap!

10th Opal

Monom, one of the champions was found with a sword 2 feet deep in his chest.
Was sword training a BAD idea for the champions?

23ed Opal

Soon I will fire the balrog capture-or-at-least-f-up machine.
Champions on standby, except for the one guy who just had to rip a muskox to shreds with his teeth.

27 Opal

Champions were fed a balrog in training for storming the caves.
RIPPED IT TO SHREDS.
NIGH UNDAMAGED.
THESE GUYS RULE.

12 Obsidian

While I was Idly talking with the overlord about clothing, A clothier ran off to make something. Grabbed some spider silk and leopard leather.
It's going to be a really nice sock, I bet you.

22 Obsidian

The clothier has started work on his artifact.
He got some cloth, wood, leather, and of all things, rose gold.

24th Obsidian

Started a flanking procedure on the remaining balrog.
The Clothier made a spider silk mask.
A MASK?
GOBLIN LOVING SON OF A...

25th Obsidian

Oh armok, the balrog was backed up by many other horrors.
The remaining champions are hiding in an offshoot tunnel, trying to get over the whole burning thing.

9th Granite

The death of our champions has started a small rebellion in their friends and family.
I have taken it upon myself to quell this rebellion starting with a cook who punched someone.
I BROKE HIS FACE IN WITH MY FIST.
TAKE THAT AS AN EXAMPLE.

16th Granite

Elven caravan arrived.
I bought every last piece of wood, just to make them bring us some of those REALLY good booze-making fruit things.
In funnier news, Zulgar went insane.
Heheheh...

22nd Granite

As the fortress river bed progresses, I have been caught up in a romance with Nil, one of the workers.

28 Granite

Wise Inod Idokalath has arrived!

Now

OH HELL I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TIME THESE PLEASE DON'T BEAT ME

[eerr]

The giant 'worm' thing was planned to be a future cave river. Also, where is the death we were promised?

All of the goblins except one died to a single spirit of fire.
I would post it, but it's hardly worthwhile, you can't see anything for all the smoke. ALL of the siegers we caught.

I only killed 1 spirit of fire, but the goblin room can't have many more than one.

also, there was a second unfinished cave-in (the goblin room is sealed, I was about to do part of the path from the demon-lair.)

Is the mandrill powered spike trap back online?

[ArkDelgato]

There was no seige or anything, but the switch for the spike trap is set up (gnomes can flip pressure plates right?)

The goblin room only had one.

Oh, I thought you meant DWARVEN deaths.

Ambiguity is more fun : P
---
I setup the mandril cage in the barracks, but a gnome should work fine.

Currently I think theres one issue with the exit to work out right now
With dwarves indoors during a siege, all the of the normal citzens will try to path outside while standing on the stone traps.

I think we need some  sort of inner barrier just in front of them. Just for emergencies.

edit1: I also fully believe some fake exits are in order.

[Fault]

I have a question... how do I download the file so it's usable by my save folder? My save folder is using .DAT files, and whenever I've downloaded saves before, they ends up as .RAR files, which I'm a bit unsure of. will they work just like .DAT files, or do I have to convert them or something?

[crash2455]

You just have to unzip it using winRAR or 7zip, at which point it will turn into a folder that you can place in your data/save directory.

Fake Edit:  I totally added the missing years to the SparkGear map archive: http://www.mkv25.net/dfma/map-6003--sparkgear2
Go and add POI's now before I start adding ones for everything that kinda looks like a penis.

[Demonic Spoon]

Added some PoI:

[Fault]

k thanks, i'll download winRAR

[Fault]

I don't get it.. I used 7-sip to compress the RAR file or wahtever, then I put the resulting folder in the DF/data/save folder, but the game won't read it. What am I doing wrong?!?

[nahkh]

Make sure you don't have nested folders.
it should be ./data/save/SparkGear2/files, not ./data/save/SparkGear2/SparkGear2/files

[nil]

so is it me now?

not sure exactly how these dates line up

[nahkh]

Yeah it's yours. And since Cruxador apparently is absent, use ArkDelgatos save.
