Well rather good site for me.
btw terrifying ocean and joyous wilds...nice contrast

[UmbrageOfSnow]

Yeah, seriously.  Zombie whales and unicorns on the same map.  Also an aquifer and the need for a desalinization plant.  I dig it. 

I haven't breached an aquifer since 40d, but I think I still remember how.  I'm signed up for a turn that should be well after we've breached, but if no one else wants to, I can trade.  Just throwing it out there that at least one player has done it before, but I'm sure others have too.  Don't worry too much about it guys.

Love the embark though.  This should be Fun.

  I have no idea how to handle aquifers...

I'll just set up rooms and interior food production.

This is gonna be Dwarf!Fun...

I'm hoping for a zombie sea monster.

I love the map choice. Its a perfect map for some "fun" and fun. Looking forward to seeing a brawl between unicorns and skeletal whales.

I have a decent idea on breaching the aquifier, but no clue how to purify seawater. Pump it right? And it has to be a cistern that is totally covered in built walls and rock?

[UmbrageOfSnow]

Exactly.  On a non-aquifer ocean map, I usually stick a couple pumps into the ocean, and pump water into an above-ground reservoir.  By putting it one z-level above the surface, I guarantee that I can't miss a spot.  But with this aquifer it would be tough to build a big tower going all the way through, so we might want to drain some water out of the side of the aquifer, down into a small pool a few levels down, and then pumped back up into a larger reservoir where we've constructed everything that is still beneath the aquifer.  Gives us more room to work with when taking water from it later.

I'm going to embark soon. I'm probably going to take a lot of wood and stone at embark. There isn't many trees in our area and I can't breach aquafir's so we won't have much stone until we get to someone that knows how.

[UmbrageOfSnow]

If you won't build down, wall in a big area and build a tower instead?

[pieisgoo]

I'm fully planning to dig down. I'm just bringing plenty of stone to last us until we breach the aquifer, which if my plan works wll hopefully be soon. I'm embarking just about now.

Pretty fucking nice spot


Er.....How do u pretend to dig a aquifier while being raped by skeletal whales and unicorns???

it is like, i only know how to breach a aquifier at freezing biomes,or if we have magma...Do we have magma?

anyways, i will be the 9º, so other ppl will need to setup the hardest shit

[UmbrageOfSnow]

Magma?! Where we're going, we don't need magma!

That's what pumps are for.

[pieisgoo]

I just finished embarking. Our fortress is called Ushulalath or Realmsbolted. I'll get a screenshot up ASAP. Luckly right now there are only groundhogs so I have some time to set up before anything more dangerous comes.

[Zaius]

Are you still taking new players?

I've been lurking for a year, but I would love to be in on this. Just finished classes for the semester, so it feels like the right time

Magma?! Where we're going, we don't need magma!
