Good job everybody. I'll take a look at the last save when I get a chance. I would be happy to play with all of you again.

Depending on how the new realease will be, after finals  I'll think about starting another game. I think the optimal location would be a 2x2, at least 1 being terrifying with a volcano and access to all the races.

Alternatively in my current game I'm playing on a 2x2 where all the races are dead in 100 years because there are 1000 titans and 1000 types of demons. Immigration shuts off after the first wave or two and no more dwarves arrive because that is literally all the surviving dwarves alive in the entire world.

I am not sure which is better for a sucession game; on the one hand I really hate immigrants and like to have a well organized fortress with a small number of highly personalized dwarves; on the other hand I really think we could make a great game by walling ourselves into a part of the earth and breaching hell leading to the surface while at war with the humans, elves, and goblins at the same time. (and being seiged at the time, kind of like a dwarven doomsday device)

In all epic secession games almost everyone dies. If there are only two waves of immigrants half the game's life will be practically a hermit fortress because dorf children take forever to grow. The point is to expend immigrants in epic battles as soon as they arrive. There should be migrants, we just treat them too well.

That's why I'll work on genning a terrifying volcano bordering a terrifying sea in a world where water is so hot everytime it rains the dorfs melt.

sounds like a good goal. If you gen such a world please save it.

Desert world. Ice is overrated =P

[heyguys]

such a world would also be good because apparently cavern creatures in terrifying biomes are skeletal/zombie also.

I'm looking at a keeper of a seed here. I've pregenocided so many civilizations its not even funny.
We'll wind up with some hardcore world.

Just make sure A) We're not on a bloody island and B) There are other Civs to piss of and siege us.

[Robocorn]

Couldn't gen one that had any civs near each other so I just used a world I already had that had one third of its surface covered by a terrifying ocean called The Blueness of Malodors (so it smells and all that.) I found us a place that claims to have trees and no aquifer while being on the coast of the stinky sea and near a terrifying plain called The Plain of Ooze (a good sign as always)

I'll probably start it myself and make another secession thread.
I just want to know what size embark area you want.

our only food will be slugmen most likely.

[Matuin]

3x3 would be ideal, as we don't need any massive FPS issues.

EDIT: Can I sign up for turn four now? I wont be on at all tonight or tomorrow and I hate being on turn 57 =P

[Robocorn]

I'll scribble it down on a piece of paper as to confuse everyone. I'll see if I can't start it this afternoon.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I'll take turn 3. This looks like it will be Fun. And no, I won't dig down to HFS this time. I'll dig adamantine intelligently.

[Oglokoog]

I don't think the FPS problem was caused by the size of the embark. I've had bigger (and better organized... erhhm) fortresses that still ran at at least 50 FPS several years in. Now digging into HFS was probably the only way to solve this permanently

[Urist Imiknorris]

Hey, it worked. 

I think it was the forgotten beast trying to path. Maybe it woke up and tried to path to each and every creature on-map each frame?

[Quatch]

Sign me up again With any luck we'll get more than 5 years in.

Beards crossed!

Is it worth waiting for 31.04 before starting? Looks like it is any time today.

Oh yes, if you do start another thread, can you link it here?

[Urist Imiknorris]

Might I suggest we gen a site with a very steep cliff?

And lets wait for the merge, in case of broken save syndrome, the first stage of fist-through-computer-monitor syndrome.

Why would we do that?

[Urist Imiknorris]

I have names for the next fort and group.

Group name: Zan Usān, "The Artifact of Murder."
Fort Name: Angdurad Angduradlibashnil Ucat, "Redbeard the Red Bearded Axe-Hammer of Beer"
