Has this thread died? .-.

This thread died in 2010, my friend.

But every few months, someone new to the forums discovers it, either by forum delving or via the wiki, and posts without looking at the dates...

And usually, asks whether it died.

Wow Im late
Derp

Worry not, this ritual is yearly. Sometimes monthly.

It has occurred again!

Within 3 and a half months it was necro'd again.

Cacame is more magic than I thought.

*counts on his fingers and toes*
Isn't that a year and three months?

Thus goes the epic tale of Cacame Apebalded, Elven King of the Dwarves.

Thus goes the epic tale of Cacame Apebalded, Elven King of the Dwarves.

We got our necro early this month!

I wonder when's the next one...

[uGuardian]

I know this is a necro.
But I have come here to say,
At the turn of the new year,
That though I have not played Dwarf Fortress in years,
The legend of Cacame Awemedinade, The Immortal Onslaught, will not be forgotten.

...

This may have also convinced me to finally go and play Dwarf Fortress again.

*Smacks his forehead. At least it won't be forgotten.

Cacame may as well be DF's mascot at this point.

[Thisfox]

Pretty sure he is.

I checked on the wiki and found this which pretty much makes him part of legends, just like Planepacked. More importantly, there's code there to put him in MY histories, which I am now going to do, because it amuses me to have him there. Are there any other examples of historical stuff I can cram into my own game like this?

[Porpoisepower]

Better a zombie thread than a clone army

[Archereon]

This thread isn't so much necro'd as it is brought to the top of the boards so that newer players can experience some of DF's history every so often.

[Mulisa]

I fully support re-surfacing this piece of cultural heritage.

[Ancalagon_TB]

I have a confession to make.

I'm running a pen and paper RPG game that is "semi historical" - by this I mean the events, the locales are all earth based, *but* I've replaced certain groups by traditional fantasy races. For examples, Egypt is now elves.  And there are still ogres and mages etc.  It's fun stuff.

Anyway, so the group is traveling east on the silk road, and crossing Persia.  They keep hearing rumors of a dwarven king living in the hills.  Then they learn his name "Cacame".  Strange they say, doesn't sound dwarven.  Then they learn he's *elven*.

My players are *completely* baffled    They know that I'm a stickler for historical accuracy and in a way I am - around this era, there was a rebellion of locals in the hills associated with Turks and they sacked Ray (predecessor to modern Tehran) - but they can't wrap their head around this

ALL HAIL KING CACAME!

There is a recipe for Awemedinite in the Wiki page , but it's outdated. Would a modder please fix it for the latest version?

Shima: I bring you... Awemedinite!
(for version 0.28.181.40d only)

[Badger Storm]

I can't help but wonder why Tholtig Cryptbrain doesn't receive this level of celebration.

@Badger Storm: tragedy is a dying genre, and the fall wasn't her fault anyway... In any case, she only did what was expected of a dwarf (even if up to eleven); Cacame, on the other hand was an elf! See, a story about overcoming one's birth flaws and becoming awesome is more uplifting than someone who, despite all her magistral efforts, still failed; Pyrrus, too, is more often remembered for a single bad battle (that he actually won) than for being the greatest general of his time.
That, or Cacame has better PR; see below.

@Ruludos: thanks, I've updated the page and credited the modification to you.
