HRP report:
World gen done, the Ageless Continent in the Mythical Dimension await us, I put my cap fps at 500, need to pass the first year fast. Now searching for a good spot
A good one fine, and the embark finally done, after some delay for numerous reason.
The ability of the Dwarf are as stated above.
Items: (include also dog, not shown on the screen)
Strike the Earth!
I start making bronze and the pick and everything we need to survive.
Damn, seem like or we can breach via a stone layer the aquifer or it's a false positive. The last case better, meaning some sort of challenge. I'm slowly mining the first room before descending down. The local life prove to be much peaceful even if we are in a really evil region. Thing should get better...
The whole map stand on a stone layer, source of water, 2 pools. I start digging down, with some precaution, on the bright side, we got iron ore, cassiterite+copper ore and bauxite. We can easily get bronze, iron and magma proof mechanism.
Farming operation should start soon, with a pump permitting to flood the farm, no floodgate involve, pretty foolproof system ^^ Continuing to dig deeper, without luck so far.
Found a cavern, the damn then crash, I take a break and came back in an hour or two.
Long break, praise the autosave, I set up the cavern around moving the fortress to the underground and fortify ourself there.
We got an immigration wave in summer, only 5, 4 will go into hauler because they have side competence pretty much useful, but not now (bowyer, medicine related), the other go as a miner.
Ok, finish my turn, up to claim. I got primary fortress up and running, food, booze, bed, etc. Get a little tribute of my own
To destroy it, thanks :p
Tommorow morning, PoI, complete rp report.
List of interest:
-Fortress is in cavern, F4 to access it quickly
-Each dwarf got a profession name except mine and job along it, keep it this way for organization
-Extending food stockpile is not only -p -f and a selection, be sure to extend a drink stockpile, seed and food, only drink should get barrel or you'll got trouble.
-No defense, but the way it's build, it's easy to fix
-Good Luck to the next fool :p
Here the save:
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2880Note to everyone: Feel free to ask to be dwarfed and start some side role playing, as long as you fallow what the overseer is seeing in his report ^^
Warning, lot of f word in that, swearing and you know the like, lighthearted abstain!
THIS IS SPARKGEAR!!! MWAHAHAHA!
Here lied a fine journal. The writing is by dwarf hand and seem old and ancient. A picture is engrave, showing a sword hanging over dwarfs head.
Legend of the SparkGear (The writing is different from the rest and seem to have being write by someone else.)
In a creepy cave, 5 dwarf were around a fire camp, sheltering them-self from the natural elements. One of them ask the elder:
-Tell us something interesting elder.
This one answer by a foretelling:
-In a far far future, dwarf will be far away from here, battling too much evolve elfes and goblin way too terrible to be describe, incredible technologie...
The only women of the group interrupt him abruptly:
-Shut up, we don't want prophecy, we want real story, why not SparkGear?
The elder stop is transe and check each one of them...
-So be it, but you know many fortress bear the name of SparkGear, so witch one should I recall to my memory?
All other four dwarfs think a moment. Finally the smith of the group ask:
-The one the most cursed, the most damned of them all.
-In long forgotten past, hungry and lusting by riches, seven dwarfs found the settlement of Alecrazy in modern language. It was most known as SparkGear.
-Shut the crap and go directly to action.
-Hell yeah!
The elder push around too much slap all of them and return to his foretelling...
Undated entry:
Soon the party should be here. My family have a long story with the SparkGear, not as long as some other old family. In our grand kingdom every ancient family have someday lost member to the infamous fortress. The Labreck clan loose 4 or 5 member. And now? I'm about to found a new one, few know that this death trap are actually willingly construct, or else, how would the kingdom being able to dispatch troublesome noble? Dissident and criminal?
My party is compose of two miner, a blacksmith, an mason, two farmer and myself, a swordwarf.
They give me weird look when I tell them we wouldn't bring picks nor axes. One of them ask me how we would survive? They just didn't check in the waggon, we have load of ore and an anvil. Stupid dwarf, how will we survive the upcoming challenges? At least we have some food and beer, lots of cats and dogs.
1st Granite:
Here we are, strike the earth! Duh, not yet, we need picks and an axe. I order rapidly a wood furnace, a furnace and a forge to be erected, we should forge our survival. In bronze! We get lots of ore and bituminous coal. Nothing to worry about. Hastily the lad were finish and one of our miner start is job. The other ensure the rest of the bituminous coal be transform in coke.
6th Granite:
Hurry up damn miner! A snow storm is upon us. Now I see what is an evil region, the moss dwarfs of our party talk of it at my question. Evil distorted reality, it change it, all around us, water came from above, in the mountain it was snow, out of it, it was simple rain. No question why I'm a stone dwarf, I prefer fucking stone, they aren't evil or good, except for one sort, but that a legend. Ho and I check up, don't let the mason near the booze stock, who know if he wouldn't cast some of this fireball, hen?
12th Granite:
Six motherfucker day! Six, mark my word, it snow for six day, without interruption. We were freezing out there and the miners, what were they doing? Nearly nothing, bah, I'll get there head soon.
20th Granite:
Thing goes slowly, first room are free of stone, and the mason is smoothing an area outside to get stone there. We'll some feat of engineering to get ride of them.
28th Granite:
I was fearing local wildlife, zombie aren't thing to laugh with. A zombie cougar decide to harass us, fuck him! I'll deal with him once I pick up my sword and my shield.
5th Slate:
Good dog, I knew the beast would prove useful, just some wound at the rear pawn. But nothing serious, I didn't even get the chance to cut the thing myself. Zombie cougar, weak enemy anyways. Someday we'll need real defence, real good soldier, I'm the only one who know how to fight for now, but I'm not here to die for SparkGear, the royal seal just say otherwise, I'm here to make sure everyone survive until first wave of banned arrived. And maybe help the rare fool who will get immigrate here willingly! Like said to them to turn back.
15th Slate:
By the motherfucker Armok! This place is rich, and not only a little. We have everything to make damned bronze, I mean more that what we have already (good for fully equip like two hell of squad). Even some iron ore out there, meaning with some flux stone we will be able to get kickass steel to make armour, if our damn armourer could get inspired and insane in a good old dwarvish fashion. We would be able to get awesome armour! Maybe we aren't without hope. Ha, I was about to forget, we get bauxite, more that we would ever need I presume, did want by hell god, Armok, that we get something with magma and mechanism.
25th Slate:
Where the fucked aquifer! Where the heck it is? We came willingly here, a place with so scarce water resource that one beer contain more pure water that the whole damned curse region! The specialist at the mountain home said we would have an aquifer to breach, if he fool us, I swear that after I found him he wouldn't be able to say booze once again, nor use his beard to fish anymore.
2nd Felsite:
Did I say I really hate flying crap? Zoombie pigeon, why didn't I learn to use a crossbow? Why in Armok name, at least, if you want to punish me,, make me forget how to handle a sword! Ok, fuck up with this, the lad would just have to ignore them.
Hastily written note: Shouldn't have said that! Fuck.
Someday in Malachite:
Hell yeah, we fin a cavern deep below, I'm fucking moving the whole fortress there. Will just keep some room in the height to keep a garrison when migrants or caravan arrive. Dig miners, but not too deep, I don't trust what we will find.
24th Malachite:
Food is really low, but the farm should get us desperately need plump helmet. Same time some fucker decide it was the best time to came here. Look more like some idiot who get the bad way in a crossroad. Everything seem under control.
17th Galena:
What the heck is this dumb ass of elf? Mountain home liaison? My bearded ass! Look like more a damn scum of merchant, I build the depot so they could shut the fuck up, damned, I wasn't expecting elf so soon otherwise I would have ensure that they don't return to there future-coke-to-be-burned forest.
1st Limestone:
I retire myself to the fortress guard, as there lead, A SparkGear need order again insanity. I receive a letter from our leader, Armok fuck him, cause-of-who-I-am-here, in what he dismiss me of my function to the-not-yet-arrive Alein. I'll get him some instruction.
The next ten pages are summarizes in this few line
-Get fucked defence up, including military, damned death trap, and a doomsday lever in the to-be-construct main hall.
-Cage up everything that move and who's not one of the nine first female cat, first male cat, three surviving female dog and the dog male.
-Get damned stockpile well set and label everything that look near or far as a lever. Lad tend to be idiot and fucking-motherfucker-who-doesn't-know-how-to-handle-most-basic-situation!
-Using the awesome atom-dwarf-smasher to destroy annihilate any scrap lying around.
Next pages retell unimportant fact..., the blood cover latter more important-like pages.
Here the state of the fortress in name and number
Next update include actual image, I don't get them were I'm writing this, sorry.
