A map of the site itself:
http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-6828-pendingname

Ignore the other site and the orcs. I forgot the location of the first one (and it's a much better site too, what a shame.), and the orcs will be removed from the fort to prevent instadeath when the first orc siege comes.

Some information about this world:

• EVERYONE is at war with the dwarves. Humans, Elves, Goblins, and Orcs will all attack. The only safe time is autumn, where the dwarves will arrive to trade.
  
• The site is located on an orcish dark fortress. The orcs will be removed when we officially start (quick mod to kill them).
• You must install a mod for this to work! Otherwise, the races will stop attacking after a while.
• Mod Link
  
• If all goes well, this should be a very difficult succession.
• Due to the existing challenges, the embarking crew is increased by three dwarves (10 total), and an anvil.
• Standard bloodline rules. Don't try to sabotage the fortress, and your turn is up after a year.
• You have two days to let us know you've begun your turn. If no word comes from you within 2 days after the previous turn ended, you will be skipped. If you can't start within 2 days, just let us know during that time and you won't be skipped.

So, who's brave enough?

I'll write up a backstory when we have a good number of people.

2. Vieto, "Cazador", Mechanic/ Metalsmithing skills (male)

Cazador is an eccentric dwarf, who like intellectual discussions and has a calm demeanor. He likes complex contraptions, and was kicked out of the mountain homes because his contraptions used up all of the magma in order to power his electrical generator.

edit: err, could you make a .zip version available for download?

[blah28722]

I uploaded a .zip version to dffd.

Click me!

[Demonic Spoon]

But I don't want to click you...stop being so tempting damnit!  ...must...resist...

[SanDiego]

What? No magma? How can you play war fortress with no magma? It can be applied to everything.

[blah28722]

It's very hard to find a dark fortress on top of a magma pipe.

Maybe next time.

[Vieto]

Oh well. its not like we have to worry about pissing off the elves; they are already pissed off.

[IHateOutside]

Sign me up to third. I may have problems with fps if we get too many dwarfs, but from what i've seen and hearb about orcs, thats not likely to happen. Never played with orcs before tho.

[Magua]

Rules on traps?  Drawbridges?  Deathrooms?

I mean, I'm sold on the idea of a 100%-at-war fortress (it's what I'm doing right now), but one large enough drowning chamber in front of the main entrance and you're completely safe...

Still, sign me up.

[blah28722]

Updated. Don't forget to pick your dwarf's skills and name.

[IHateOutside]

I'll be a male mine please.

[MastaODisasta]

I'll take the 5th place if possible.  This'll be my first succession game, is there anything I should know (besides what's in the OP)?

I'll be a male farmer.

[Magua]

Magua the Engraver!
Gender doesn't matter for me.
Proficient Engraver/Stone Detailer (can't remember which it is on the embark screen)
Proficient Brewer

[IHateOutside]

is there anything I should know (besides what's in the OP)?
