I hope we get something worthwhile, I know it can't be a sword or armor, but maybe a shield or a statue. Anything but another bucket or a mechanism. Speaking of which, did you process any adamantine yet, you must have taken that route to hell, what did you do with it?

It's a metalcrafter. Our best hope is a chain. He's up and running. Better than sleeping through a demon attack. And I did nothing with the addy. I did not expect to survive, so I just left it there. Somebody can get it next turn if they choose. If they do, I would like to point out that there is a raw adamantine archery target in the dining area that they can replace too.

Also Jesus, people. I just found another possible entry point for our snowy/salty/fiery f(r)iends, which led RIGHT INTO THE DINING AREA!!


That stairway leads straight into the caverns.

I love how my unofficial turn went from

TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!!

to an actual, get-stuff-done turn.

[Robocorn]

Hell is awesome, it could very well be an official turn but you've basically murdered the framerate. I'm looking forward to whatever you can do but the framerate may never recover from the devils' existence.

But kudos on making the game ten shades more awesome. Dine in hell for a few dozen more courses and we may be looking at something legendary. Maybe even some sort of fortress built in hell itself. 

[Oglokoog]

I don't even understand what happened.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I chose to dine in hell because of the framerate. It only dropped 1 fps once the initial surge was over.

Also, our moody metalcrafter is demanding zinc bars (not hard to get) and rough gems.

I don't even understand what happened.

tl;dr of the past twentyish posts:

"damn this fort has bad fps."
Me: "I'll do it when I get to my good comp."
"ok"
Me: "damn this fort has bad fps. I WILL KILL IT IN AWESOMENESS!"
I survived.

I think there might be some sort of a bug. 7 FPS would be appropriate for a FlareChannel-like monstrosity, not for a relatively humble for like Goldanguishes.

Flarechannel went at 1-2 fps for a good chunk of its life. 40d is also significantly faster than 31.03.

EDIT: Another random Haunt of Salt in the farm. And a Snow Devil from the depths killed Oglokoog and an Axe Lord.

Say It ain't so! Not an axe lord!

Also what's Flarechannel?

Yes, an axe lord. I'm walling off the underground until we can rebuild our military.

And Flarechannel is this.

Use the Google.

I had almost written this one off as dead, eagerly reading the thread. Even if we can't manage to finish this fort due to death, it has been a pleasure hosting this succession game.

[123BIG]

No worries 123big, just post in the thread when you get one of the later saves to work at speeds acceptable you you, and then let us know you want to take that turn.

I mean after spending half an hour getting acquainted with the fortress and writing a bitchin' introduction post, I get 7 fps in my face.
Feels sorta anticlimactic.

I guess we can wait until the new version comes out and hope its faster.


Also, just how does that demon invasion work? I heard there is an initial wave, and once its killed off the excrement really hits the propeller. So if you were able to kill off most of the initial wave and leave a few demons, new ones wouldnt spawn? Nah, they probably spawn regardless of the initial wave.

[Urist Imiknorris]

There's an initial surge, then a "continuous" stream afterwards as more migrate from off-map, just like everywhere else.

Also, I was wrong. The other half of the initial wave decided to attack. I didn't wall off the underground in time. There are chicken fiends in the barracks.

There is a bright spot: One axe lord is currently holding her own against three demons, one of them named.

You can always drop the hammer if you're in trouble.

Drop the hammer?

EDIT: This music sums up the fort pretty well, methinks. ABANDON SHIP.
