No. I'm not. I'm starting my rein of terror.

((rein: control and direct with or as if by reins))

makes sense to me.

My rein of terror has begun! The city is being built!

I think the proper word is "Reign" but to each his own.

First update.

Skal the "Super Awesome Dude" and several others have died in the collapse of the old temple scaffolding. Those who only fell onto the floor of the main cavern survived with only a few small scratches. (Mostly kids)

Meanwhile, 5 dwarves began the untimely sacrifice to Armok, plunging down 5 stories to splatter and vomit all over the base of the tower. Skal and Mebzuth died instantly, but the other three will die a horrible slow death from their wounds, as we have no water to give them.

In other news, three of the new mansions have begun construction. Hopefully at the end of my REIN there will be at least half a dozen constructed for the more notable of dwarves. (not the nobles, mind you!)

Now that is most certainly suppose to be reign.

From dictionary.com;

reign

–noun
1.    the period during which a sovereign occupies the throne.
2.    royal rule or authority; sovereignty.
3.    dominating power or influence: the reign of law.

rein
  /reɪn/
–noun
1.    Often, reins. a leather strap, fastened to each end of the bit of a bridle, by which the rider or driver controls a horse or other animal by pulling so as to exert pressure on the bit.
2.    any of certain other straps or thongs forming part of a harness, as a checkrein.
3.    any means of curbing, controlling, or directing; check; restraint.
4.    reins, the controlling or directing power: the reins of government.

It seems legit to me.

UPDATE: The final death toll of the incident leaves us with 169 dwarves, 8 of which are mortally wounded. Two more have yellow wounds, but this waterless hellhole will likely kill them off if they're not quick to heal. It is six days until the end of summer. Hopefully they shall survive until then.

((Damn that miasma, making me unable to see what all I'm deconstructing! I accidentally designated the SECOND to end of a scaffold line.))

Okey dokey, this turn went surprisingly well for a Sparkgear turn.

Only ~10 people died, I completed 3 rather large mansions in the main cavern (plus the foundations for the next) and discovered the most awesome way to stack houses. (check the roof complex of the southernmost house I built in the cave)

SAVE.

EDIT: someone take pics of the new houses in THREE dimensions! (use more than one angle, they're not symmetrical!)

I just realized, after adding the new body parts to the other races, that I have an entire squad of dwarves with a shield in each hand and swinging their axes with their penises. There's nightmare fuel for those goblins, in more ways than one.

Map: http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-6710-sparkgear4

Here are a few protips to the next player, that appears to be you nahkh, the bodies at the bottom of the execution shaft appear to be forbidden, you should claim them so they can be buried to prevent unhappy thoughts. Also, it would appear that Barbarossa deconstructed all the roads I made inside  >:( So we do meet the requirements to get the king anymore. During my turn I forbidded all non obsidian stone and set that it could not be used in the stones menu of [z] screen and it would seem Barbarossa did not change this. The duchess has mandated the construction of some shortswords which is very easy to do with our obsidian resources. I ordered the construction of some traps at the entrance, some of which have been suspended for some reason, if you would just unsuspend them? And you should probably rebuild them with magmasafe mechanisms, what with the magma spewer, didn't think of that. Oh yeah, speaking of the magma spewer, you should probably improve it.
