Impressive find.

[Ledi]

I'd say around 2 years to get set up before the first order comes in, then wait until it does. Eventually demands will (hopefully) come in every couple of days, but there's nothing wrong with coming in late.

I've had a suggestion which sounds quite reasonable - once a demand is made by the queen, the dwarves will have one year to complete it. This way people who come in late will be able to catch up and people who can't play continuously won't be limited by their real life playtime. I'll amend the front post to include this.


I'm... rather intense when it comes to finding nice sites. This one was thankfully quick, but I've spent two days before, just genning and throwing out worlds. >.>

Question about the logs: I know I'll probably forget to check everyone's original post, but posting anew every time you have an entry would clutter up the thread fast. Perhaps we could all start our own threads (or maybe blogs or something), and link to each other in the OPs?

Edit: also, edited my post.

[breadbocks]

No. We post once saying we started, and we put our whole logs there.

[Biag]

I know, I was suggesting a possible alternative.

[Ledi]

Come Monday night I'm going to have some free time, and I'm going to set up separate pages on my website for each player, and post copies of their logs there for ease of access. I'll then link those from the first post. I had posted the idea for the parallel game before thinking about how confusing it might be to wade through so many pages of logs for the same fort. XD

Just so people know, I've started my logs on my page one post.

I just got my first artifact, and it's a tribute to Her Majesty:

I think I'll have a go at this, if I can.

Sir Broccoli, that post was a thing of beauty. Truly it was. XD

Spring 53
Sent two miners to take care of an alligator. Turns out there were three alligators. Lost one dwarf. The other miner was deeply saddened so she was taken off duty until she recuperates.

Spring 54
Not much to report. Three possessions resulted in a leather shield, rose gold greaves, and a limonite table. None have any interesting images. Elves bring a breeding pair of grizzly bears!

Spring 55
A monstrous creatures arrives! The giant ettin attacks but is caught in a cage trap. Begin building sacrifice tower to drop it off. Fey dwarf makes a green glass chain and a possession makes an iron spear. Mayor mandates lay pewter items. Much scrambling trying to find and smelt the right ores. Finally get ready to start making goblets when mayor changes his mind and wants clear glass items instead.

The Queens Garden is ready. It is just a simple outdoors affair.

Spring 56
The possession curse continues. Dwarf makes a chestnut animal trap. On it is the image of two sun berries. Hurm. Possible Elf sympathizer, must investigate further. Mayor demands creation of Slade items. Metalsmith is jailed and dies since no one brings him water.  Another possession creates a tetrahedrite mug. Export of Slade items prohibited. The mayor is replaced as I notice he loves Slade in his profile. Another Monstrous Creature comes, a cyclops. It had tried to ambush a party of loggers I had sent out to clear the northeast woods. Luckily, I had suspected that goblins would attack the party so I had a squad of marksdwarfs escort them. I think a war dog actually got the kill.

The panic room is finished and contains everything needed to start over. You can't tell in the picture but pulling the lever releases a support which buries the entrance. The room contains 2 copper picks, 2 copper axe, 24 wood logs, 200+ food and drink, seeds for every kind of underground crop, 4 irrigated plots, a well, and a cage with around 50 animals of all kinds in it.

Spring 57
Elves bring breeding pair of wolves. Possession creates a magnetite quern.
10 Sandstone, 56: Gravity fed Obsidian generator finished and online! I hope the Queen isn't upset I had to cut her garden in half to place the lava reservoir.
Dwarf diplomat left unhappy because he would only try to meet with the old mayor not the new one. Goblin ambush was led by Kutsmob Snagmaclo, a dwarf.

Each statue is a masterpiece crafted from Obsidian. Had to edit the raws to allow Obsidian to be used. There is a bug that makes it not show up in the stones list unless it exists as a layer.

What's our opinion about turning off invaders in the init file? I just lost a whole bunch of dwarves through ambushes/tantrums/dodging into magma (really starting to regret that whole 'create a lake of fire' thing.) The fort is fine now, but I don't think I can handle another ambush. If it's okay with everybody I'd like to turn off invaders until I get enough migrants to restore my military.

EDIT: Also, it might be a good idea to link to everyone's log posts in the OP.
