So I was thinking of creating a community game. If I am correct about what it is then I would really like to do it. So um... I guess it's up to you to pick what dwarves I embark with. Everyone can also have 1 dwarf named after them. If that dwarf dies then you can choose another dwarf to give your name to. So yeah... Vote what dwarves to start with.

[LordSlowpoke]

All of them are proficient teachers and proficient liars.
Embark with one pick, one log, and two rock nuts.

[Dariush]

Also 42 female kittens and 1 male. And a copper nugget. And a fungiwood crutch.

[Tsarwash]

Can training axes be used to chop down trees ? If so I bet that it takes a long time.

[ottottott]

Obviously this is going to be fun!
Also suggest where to embark.
Oh and not that I don't like if you post in this thread but that was completely and utterly off-topic Tsarwash.
You will have plenty of time for suggestions because of unfortunate and previously unknown circumstances I can't play Dwarf Fortress tomorrow. I will be on the forums a little though.

[LordSlowpoke]

Terrifying moist broadleaf forest/terrifying ocean.
As many aquifers as possible.

[Dariush]

Desert scorching treeless terrifying glacier over dark fortress.

[Kamudo]

A 2x2 embark over a volcano

[Kregoth]

Hmm this could be great can I create a seed for you to world gen with? I'm thinking of something that just covered in savage evil forest and deserts.

Here a quick seed to try and modify but it is a good heavy evil still forest's and all that but it pretty much get all covered in sinister biomes.

Use search and select high savage high evil and flux stone what ever it gives you embark there even if there an aquifer and no volcano lol.

Also unrelated, but have fun with Pearlrings succession your in zlurker flooded the west portion of the fortress have fun fixing that one hahaha.

[fivex]

Embark with all peasants

[ottottott]

Seems like there was a misunderstanding and I do get to play Dwarf Fortress today. I'll try to squeeze everything into today as I also got a succession game going.

[ottottott]

Well I embarked. I wonder how am I going to survive here. Actually you are sort of in charge. So good luck! I doubt you will last a year. The fortress name is Shieldriddled. I embarked with all teachers/liars, 42 female kittens, 1 male kitten, 1 iron pick, 1 maple log, 2 rock nuts, 1 copper bar and 1 fungiwood crutch. So here I am! With an almost empty caravan, a load of kittens in a sinister place with frozen salt water, many aquafiers, almost no trees and the embark screen hinted that there are werewolves here. So I barely have any food, nothing to drink, everyone is a loser and OH MY GOD I don't know what else. The place is flat with the ocean on the top left a few lakes here and there and a lower area on the top left. What are you going to do to survive the year?
Hint from me: Go find a cave. The water probably isn't frozen there so your dwarves won't die of thirst.

[Dariush]

Make one miner channel straight down until he hits caverns. Make a hermit fort, let everyone else die of starvation. If he dies when falling, throw another dwarf in so pick won't be lost. If everyone dies... Well, this was madness to begin with

[ottottott]

Well... I did the 1st season with no other orders but now I need some because you forgot to give me an anvil! The dwarves are thirsty even though there is water in the lakes that just melted and in the cave I found. I blocked the cave so no creatures could get to my dwarves. Only through water. Butchered a few kittens for food and gathered the plants I could find on ground. I need serious help!
OK I kinda' lied. I had a few days until the end of the season. All of the dwarves died of thirst. Now what? I got as much smarter that each dwarf lasts an exact amount of time without water when you embark. It's almost 3 months. But really. Now what? Any more smart ideas of embarking in a place like that?

[ArcaneSaint]

The dwarves are thirsty even though there is water in the lakes that just melted and in the cave I found.

You embarked near an ocean right? That means all water on the map will be salt water, AKA undrinkable, unless you desalinate it with a well or screwpump (see the wiki for details).

I got as much smarter that each dwarf lasts an exact amount of time without water when you embark. It's almost 3 months.

Dwarven Science FTW

Any more smart ideas of embarking in a place like that?

A treeless, evil ocean? I'd say: Have atleast one decent fighter and a Miner. Enough logs to last until you get to the caverns. Lots of booze and food. Plump helmet spawns, and an underground cavern farm (it's way too dangerous to depend on what you can gather in the caverns). You could take an anvil with you, but you could also just trade some rock crafts for one when the caravan arrives (if you last that long). Also a cage to put you kittens in .

Need anything else? Also I'd like to be dorfed on your new attempt. Preferably as a doctor, or else as any role that does NOT include running headfirst at hordes of werewolves, undead, goblins, etc.
