[Jim Groovester]

I'm hoping that Jim and I aren't doing similar things.

I'm hoping that we're not either. It would be like two girls showing up to prom with the same dress. Though, it should be pretty obvious what I'd be building, since it involves large amounts of above ground constructions and requires both rivers to stop flowing, and it's big.

It sounds like things might be going better on your end, though, except with all the ambushes. I'm really far behind schedule, so much so that I don't think I'll make it. And if I do, I'd be so far behind in every other category that I doubt I'll win.

[Demonic Spoon]

Aargh, I got way to OCD with this challenge, I think I'm going to skip it and wait for the next one.

[Grimlocke]

Allright, mine is nearly done. Only 3 seasons to go, but that should be enough.

Hope it wont be too similar to the rest... but it did require me to drain both rivers

We might be in the same vein, but I hope it'll be different enough. What I lack in scale I hope to make up for in aesthetics. I've only stopped the little river so far and am considering the big one, but my previous attempts at large river damming have been horrific failures and without savescumming, that's a big risk. I need another project at least, so I might give it a go.

I've got 5 seasons and 102 dwarves. That's enough time if I don't screw it up.

Almost finished the five years, and then...BANG! The idea!

"I could have built an entire aboveground city to protect the bridge!"

Bah too late! 
I just hope someone has done something like this!

I got 86 dwarves (automn 1004), mostly because I lost like 20 dwarves to the gob...

Also, do you have any good artifacts?

A throne, a bow and a oaken casket. I kept them for the king, who will surely never come...
The other artefacts are just rubbish, as always with DF.

[Bluerobin]

So... this looks pretty sweet and I'll probably join in for the next challenge.  Random question though: what did you use for making the isometric landscape pic in the first post?

[nahkh]

When's the deadline?
I think I just might be able to finish by Sunday evening, otherwise I'll have to forfeit.

18th, so you're good.

[nahkh]

Whew. I was going to spend the whole of today playing this fort but SparkGear needed some resuscitation.

A recent siege brought this goblin to my fort:



Seems ominous.

At least you BUILD your artifacts.

EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. MINE. WANTS. SILK!!!

[crash2455]

It happens.  I got a fort where at least half of my dwarves wanted rough gems and there were none anywhere (raw glass wouldn't do).  So many senseless deaths. . .

This is why I get silk of drarven traders

phew..... i was worried about the deadline as well ah well bridge done and two side projects complete one of which being a claystone block obelisk cos i like egyption monuments  no siege yet might be because i'm playing with only 60 or so dwarves with only 6 in the military (all i need for now) it is my 4th year and i cracked the whip so hard i lost 2 high master masons to a cave in and another 3 dwarfs to an ambush while out collecting wood from my legendary woodcutter. champion unbelivebly agile marksdwarves are officially the dwarven machinegun 

[TerminatorII]

AAHHEEMM!!!


PLEASE put me on the competitors list. I won't start till the 16th but Ill have it completed by the 18th. (unless something goes horibly wrong)
