Epic. This thread restored my faith in the new version. I foresee the Ardentdikes being re-populated by ducklings in future.  ;D

I guess there should show up new challenge '28 weeks later" on wiki just next to "28 days later". And it should somewhat resemble the history of Ardentdikes.

Sign me in please.

All right, it looks like Graeldragon is MIA, on to MarineMorton.  PM sent.

It is really, really easy to flood this place with magma fwiw.

Doors stop fire, right?

Loads of time. I've actually let it run for seven months now, with minimal interaction. I can tell you that the magma is not going to fill Ardentdikes this time.
How about my accident?
That was fun, filling so much of the fortress with MAGMATIC GOODNESSTM

It's probably made from baby bone, with a handle of baby leather. Probably uses the leg bones wound together for the handle, the pelvis for the handle/pick joint, and the pick is the spine.

But that's all in theory, of course. Not like I've made a pick out of my own 5 month old baby before.

No idea what to do with this!  Runs as 15 fps  so take like couple years in game for magma to get anywhere! Only 3 dwarfs left!  just over 100 enemies!

Maybe we could be turn-less for a year or two to see what happens and then proceed with MarineMorton's turn.
Unless you think there is something special you can do, one of the three Dwarves has a pick and you have a forge at Lesser Ardentdikes.

I ran it for nearly a year, and I can say that the magma will definatly not reach the trolls ever. This is because the mamga flows outside the castle walls as well. But while the magma is there, they cannot get out. I say, let it run, do little and wait for migrants to turn up in a few years or so. Maybe after some migrants turn up, seal the trolls in whatever section that you can, with obsidian. Deal with them when you are strong enough. Also, I had an idea. While Taquebb is doing nothing, set him training, so that his wrestling and fighting skills increase.



Can I be added to the end of the list again, please Daetrin ? Promise not to nearly kill the fortress this time. :)

Is there something in the code forbidding migrants to come while on siege??
if so, we're screwed for now  :(

Seiges don't last forever. they got bored and left when I played it through. I should have kept the save.

I just had to register because of the awesomeness of this fortress. I've been a total DF addict for half an year and been lurking in these forums. This is one of my favourite community fortress threads I've read so far.

Anyway, I downloaded the last save just to see how it runs on my old rig. Horribly slow, maybe 2 seconds per frame. But I did some experiments. The two dwarfs in Lesser Ardentdikes have the resources to construct magma-safe screw pumps to pour magma directly (or at least a bit closer) to the trolls roaming in Greater Ardentdikes.
