I dunno. It's competition, so I shouldn't think so.
Also, by that logic you can mod it to find HFS, cos it makes it more difficult.

I've just discovered pretty much everything. The map is small enough that I can do exploratory mining everywhere.

Finding the HFS is part of the challenge. This is a no-mods challenge, so using a finder is cheating. Also, possessed dwarf #3. I'm getting pissed now.

If you want a game like orc survival or something with mods, we'll help you make and run it.

Savagery is part of what "Terrifying" means. It means high savagery and high evil. Two kinds of Terrifying? That sucks for us.

Updated all the stats you gave. We will need to do something about Food production, just # of meals is misleading. For instance, you could make 200 noquality Biscuits, and someone else could use the same food to make 100 masterful Roasts. Also, the Wood award is not applicable because wood is plentiful and dangerous creatures on the surface are rare.

Year 2. The meal stats are a inaccurate when things are Forbidden, just as your soldiers don't show when not recruited, so I added in a paste of my Forbidden masterful meals, reserved for trading. Also, my Wealth is a bit misleading because an Artifact is boosting it 26400☼.

d

Fuzzy thx to the filedump site, will find another one.

Someone gets Possessed and makes a 146400☼ steel barrel. F U, I needed a master metalsmith.

First year done! It was pretty quiet on the whole, but there were a couple of notable events.

In late spring, 2 harpies came and got slaughtered by my oversized military.

Then in early summer about 10 dark gnomes came and raided the caravan. Didn't get a picture, but it was very messy. Still hadn't lost a single dog or dwarf at this point.

Mid-summer I found the underground pool. Right where the bedrooms were going to be, too. How Fun. I suppose it sorts out clothing production in the long run, though.

The caravan came in Autumn. This has to be the first time in months for me where the first caravan didn't bring an anvil. Not even a steel one. All they brought was a ton of steel armour and 2 bins full of giant cave spider silk, as well as food, ale, etc. Knowing my luck I'm going to be seiged in Summer and die for not having any equipment to give my soldiers.

Looks like I'll need to step up my production a little to match the rest of you. So far, no deaths and 15 kills.

EDIT: fixed one image

For the horse, though, it's possible that wild horses migrated in, knocked her up, and migrated off.
Did they even call afterward?

I'm just touching up on my castle. I'll have to post some stuff after I get my record keeper doing stuff.

 I've got steel production on the full, so my fort looks a bit small, but my armor and weath is wicked high.

Find the HFS pit?  Cause that's where the tiny bit is, really only enough for a forge or two, don't waste your time.

I found it, but I blocked it up before the froggies got me.


Great... I've been sitting on my forging until I find the magma... which is non-existant.

Well... Butimous coal out the ass, and you're not forging/smelting?

Anyway, I sent some food over to the trading depot to see what it's worth. Not trading it, b/c the dwarves offered 196% for it. Here:

*blink*

And so begins my career in food traffiking!

great. I ran out of booze, my four wells froze over, and now I'm back to a population of 26 cos the entire fortress died of thirst.
I nominate myself for a projected gameplay total of minus fucking seventy.
