Any other people want to take a turn here?

If not, I'll just go again.

Seems BKWM has been busy or forgot about this succession game. I'm afraid we may have to roll back to the last save.

[BKWM]

I'm working on it don't skip me. I'm almost through with autumn.

[addictgamer]

Ah, I thought you forgot about this.

Well, don't worry, you have a day or two left to play. 

[addictgamer]

2 things.

BKWM's last day is today. How about we extend it a day or two since there aren't any other players in the list?

Anybody else want to join in? If not, I'll play again.

[BKWM]

My turn is completed.
The save is here.

Yeah you should probably just go again addictgamer.
I named a guy after me. If it doesn't interfere greatly with your plans, please try not to kill me.
Here is my turn report, spoilered for length.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

6th Granite
We are completely out of wood. I've sent the woodcutter to fell the trees on the other side of this mountain to give us some wood.
Would someone mind telling me why this place is built like a maze. There is no reason to have the bedrooms 35 stories under the earth.
10th Granite
drafted a peasant to aid our only wrestler. told to them both to put on armor, grab shields and swords.
Elves arrived to trade today. I'd rather cut their pointy ears off than trade with them, but they may have some interesting stuff so I'll let them in.
17th Granite
Crap a goblin ambush party. that's not exactly hunky dory news. A bunch of wrestlers and a bowman. the bowman could be a problem.
And the new recruit was the one who sprung them out of ambush, and he promptly got shot in the heart and died. Rest in Peace Mafol Shottrot.
I drafted the woodcutter as he was across the map cause I wanted to get him home. also he has an axe.
19th Granite
another goblin ambush this time a bunch of hammergoblins. uncovered right next to Mafol's body by the woodcutter on his way to defend the front gate. this just gets better and better.
And the woodcutter is now dead. why did this have to happen to me.
20th Granite
Morul Nelasoddom Nosingusir "Morul Flickeredcloister the Brushed Glacier" has fallen in defence of the front gates.
amassing the dwarves for a stand in the front halls.
22nd Granite
The main force has arrived at the front gates and is engaging the enemy. May Armok grant us victory.
24th Granite
Armok be praised the foul goblins have been repulsed. 11 goblins lie slain on the feild of battle. Unfortunately eight dwarves do as well. using the level above the current bedrooms as tombs for the fallen. five injured. Oh and a legendary smith was one of the one's lost. crap. Population at 33.
14th Slate
Migrants.
oh perfect they spawned next to the chasm and have decided to just sit there. why do these things have to happen to me.
17th Slate
Found the problem. The dining room wasn't technically a dining room, so i made it one. the migrants are now moving towards the fortress. Population is up to 53.
we have
5 peasants
a wood burner
a trapper
a puppy
a blacksmith
a fish dissector
3 mule
a furnace operator
an herbalist
a milker
a child
a foal
a seige engineer
a hunter
a kitten
2 baby donkeys
a carpenter
a miller
a fisherdwarf
a jeweler
a soap maker
19th Slate
Iden Igamedem is throwing a tantrum, but since he is in bed wounded i don't think it will be a problem.
23rd slate
And now he's throwing another one.
27th Slate
Just noticed that no is bringing the wounded any food or water. made the seige engineer a healer with nothing else to do so it might get done know.
3rd Felsite
Iden has gone berserk. yay he is now locked in his room. and for some reason the dwarves named random cave swallowman Deduk Kubukos.
6th Felsite
Hey i found the traps. behind where i had the battle. thats just great.
11th Felsite
Iden has died. unlocking his room and building him a coffin.
1st Hematite
Sigun Sazirkashez has died from thirst. because no one thought to bring water to him. Not even the guy who has nothing else to do.
6th Hematite.
I accidently caused a cave-in while installing fortifications along the bridge. two injured, no dead.
13th Hematite
A human caravan and an orcish caravan have arrived. at the same time. I don't trust these orcs. They have proven themselves to be untrustworthy simply by coming.
22nd Hematite
Another goblin ambush today. They are really starting to piss me off.
23rd Hematite
On his way to throw a puppy in a cage, Bembul Shaligurdim, one of the local millers, just stopped in the middle of the hallway. He had a fresh glint in his eyes, and started barking orders left and right.
Also the goblins have taken the gates. They are coming up the path to the bridges.
Bembul has seized a craftsdwarfs workshop.
And then ran out into the middle of the seigers to get something. Didn't end well.
3rd Malachite
The goblins are retreating. Huzzah. Pop now at 40.
16th Galena
A legendary grower threw a tantrum, killed a metalsmith, and broke the mayor's spine. and so it begins.
24th Galena
our first mayor is trying to off herself. this sets a great precedent
autumn is here pop 35
13th Limestone
Our Dwarven brethren are here to trade.
Or possibly taunt us, the liason immediataly left without saying a word to us. The ELVES were more polite than that.
25th Limestone
These goblins just don't quit. This time they managed to sneak into the front gat and partway up the hall before anyone saw them. I hope the troops I've been preparing to fight the goblin menace are ready.
26th Limestone
The first group of goblins has been defeated.
Pop 34
16th Sandstone
We were eating in the main hall today when Erith Ozkakzefon stood up and walked rather rigidly out, speaking what sounded like at least three different languages, none of which i've ever heard before.
17th Sandstone
He claimed a clothier's shop today. Just walked in like he owned the place and kicked the dwarf working there out the door. Quite litterally.
11th Timber
Some Migrants have arrived, despite the danger. Aww come on now ive only killed 29 dwarves. And the war dog. And that one kitten. It's not that bad.
pop at 39
1 weaponmith
2 foal
1 calf
1 Leatherworker
1 Peasent
1 puppy
1 Carpenter

Erith Ozkakzefon has been stricken with melancholy. Great, we have a twilight novel smuggler on the loose. I'll start the inquiries.
1st Obsidian
Oh I was just informed (some week or so after the event) that our engraver has given birth to a baby boy. Pop at 40.
2nd Obsidian
Erith has deid from thirst. Pop at 39.

I will be unavailable the week before and after christmas, so just skip me if my next turn doesn't come up until then.

[addictgamer]

Ya...I'll get to work on it tomorrow hopefully.

And, I like making maze forts...

No, It doesn't bother me you named a dwarf.

Too bad we had such great losses.

I hope the economy is going good...And I want to build a mega-trap in my turn...Automatic flooding hallways that trap enemies in them by raising bridges...

Nobody wants to sign up for a turn?
If not, I will take my turn. Or...You could sign up after me, if not before me.

(Yes, I do overuse ...)

[Kinoko_Otoko]

I'll take a turn... let me get the game set up on my end, mods and all.

It'll be the first time I've used a graphics mod, but I'll go ahead with it for the sake of screenshot consistency.

Hmm... as I understand it, the game replaces the objects in the data folders with data from the raw folders when you generate the world, and that is what gets used. Do I need to generate a world after downloading the raw files, or does the game actually use the raws?

...Well, I loaded the game okay; I guess that means it works. If I don't hear from you soon, I'll go ahead and start playing; if you start another turn without checking the thread again you can pick the year you like better.

Damn, but this fort is confusing. What's with the daisy-shaped caverns someone dug out several z-levels down? And no one mentioned hitting adamantine...?

[addictgamer]

Sure, take your turn.

As for adamite, ya...I was startled a bit about that. And how I started the fort right on top of adamite but a few levels beneath. I get all the bad luck. (jk)
I guess paragith forgot to mention it.

As for the layout, I didn't make it too twisted in my turn...
Well, I guess this will go down as the fort of mazes. Intruders and migrants alike beware.

[Kinoko_Otoko]

Aright... I'm gonna have fun with this though. I'm probably going to take some inspiration from StarkRavingMad's character in Boatmurdered, and probably that guy who re-booted it in a new thread, so be warned.

[addictgamer]

Sounds like it will make for a lot of fun. 

Just try to keep the fort alive, ok? I want to add in a dungeon after the first 20 years or so.
Like I'm doing in my current fort, although I had to savescum a bit after I noticed glitches...

[Kinoko_Otoko]

Alright, I have a question. I was going to order up some training weapons made, but I don't see the option in the smithy. Are the mods listed in the OP still accurate?

Also, I don't get the term savescumming. I abuse my save files all the time, and it never made me feel scummy. I will also be abusing the everliving daylights out of the save system for this game, unless I feel it's more amusing to keep going (for instance, I need to test those three levers I see on the top floor of the fort...)

[addictgamer]

1. Yes, they're accurate. I made a test fort to test everything. Only thing I couldn't and still can't figure out is runes.
Maybe download the raw I provided...

2. _=_
Try using the notes thing, as I have added in notes on the one lever that was built during my reign.
And, I don't remember adding savescumming against the rules. I mostly don't want it happening because it can reduce fun during the story if you make a mistake. But if you're testing stuff...

[Kinoko_Otoko]

Oh, I didn't really think it was against the rules per se, was just commenting on the language...

And I did use the raws folder you provided or I couldn't even play. I can't find any sign of training weapons tho.

[addictgamer]

Hmm...I'll take a look at this sometime over the weekend, If my classes allow me

[Kinoko_Otoko]

I must confess, I haven't done much with the fortress. After starting I realized that I usually have some overarching plan for my fort, but with Ticktorch I just don't have one.

I think I'll seal everyone inside while starting them on the construction of a tower into the sky, for storage space... A tower jutting out from the side of the mountain, of course.

Note that by 'seal everyone inside' I mean 'use a 1x3 tile no-traffic zone to keep them from wandering outside'. I'm not actually going to seal the fortress.

Incidentally, if one of you had had just two guys from your first migration wave sparring the whole time, their stats would already be maxed out and they could single-handedly take on multiple ambushes...

Among many strange managerial behaviors, however, I'm only going to complain about one: why, oh why, did one of you leave every tree in the top half of the map over several z-levels marked to be cut down? Just... Why? It took me about a half an hour to find all the pre-existing tree designations so I could get the damn woodcutter to remove one tree that was in my way. Every time I cleared a swath of designations, he took off in some new direction across the map...

Edit: Ok, now my main complaint is just that dwarves are suicidally retarded. I've never really dealt with ambushes before without having two superdwarves there to mangle them. I can kind of see how it's easy to lose a lot of dwarves...
