[Clover Magic]

Hello, all!  I'm not exactly new to DF, but I am to succession games!  So, I decided to start my own succession game, since I'm far too shy to sign up for someone else's. :p

Anyways!
Welcome To Ironblow!

Spoiler: Embark (click to show/hide)

The mighty Seal of Appearance has sent out its latest expedition, a group of seven to found a fortress to guard the southern border of the kingdom.  Will this outpost, christened Ironblow by its starting seven, fail or flourish?  Only time will tell...

Succession Game for ver. 31.16
This is a succession game centered around newbies!  Anyone of any skill may participate, though!  Mainly this means that don't be afraid to participate!  Lurkers and well-known members welcome!  You can also request to be dorfed.

Turns
1: Clover Magic
2: xellas84
3: fivex
4: wilsonns - skipped due to missing deadline
5 Demonic Spoon
6: Sisidem
7: Cypherwulfe
8: Zrk2
9: xellas84
10: eue
11: Xenos

Turns last one week or one in-game year, whichever comes first.  If you cannot take your turn, please notify me at least 24 hours in advance.  Likewise, if you sign up for a turn, please post in the thread within 24 hours of the start of your turn so we know you're active.  People who do not reply within 48 hours to the start of their turn will be skipped and must request another turn.  There is only one rule and that is don't fuck up the fortress purposely.  Fun is more, well, fun when it happens legitimately and randomly.  This is a learning experience and a relaxing fortress all in one!  But if you dig too deep, perhaps that can change...    If it falls that no one shows up for their turns, I'll just keep playing years until we get some more.  Let's see moss grow on our walls--or die horribly.

Dwarves

Members of the community/future overseers can request a dorf.  There are six of the original seven left to be claimed--EDIT: All claimed!  Look to later posts for migrant reports to claim!
Miner/Doctor
Woodcutter/Carpenter
Mason/Engraver
Fisherdwarf
Grower/Brewer
Mechanic/Craftsdwarf

Future overseers should try to keep up with the dorf requests.

Annnd I think that's pretty much it!  I hope everyone has fun!  I'll be posting the save and prologue/first year as soon as I've finished playing it!  Chat away as I play through, lol!  -hopes people show up-

[xellas84]

Heck why not.  Dorf me as the fisherdorf, and I'll sign up for a turn.  Played a few semi-successful forts before on my own, but never a succession fort, so this should be Fun

[Clover Magic]

You've been dorfed!  I should have the save ready by tomorrow at the latest, if not tonight.

[Xenos]

I feel like taking a turn, sign me up!  And I want the architect...if you dont have one yet, assign a dwarf to build supports until their job title is architect

[Clover Magic]

The mason has a point in architecture that I can level up, you want him?  Added you to the turns!

[xellas84]

Just an FYI, if you grab the Dwarf Therapist program you can set up custom titles at the click of a button.

[Clover Magic]

Yep!  I use the program when I get my first migrant wave.  Xenos can pick, though, whether he wants a custom profession or for me to really level a dwarf up.

[Xenos]

Dwarf leveled up.     My dwarf will become an architect...(I think I want to achieve a legendary architect.) make sure only farmers harvest, and dont let the farmers have any other tasks.  It helps them gain experience quicker.  Which will mean more efficient (smaller) farms.

[Clover Magic]

All right, you've become the mason!  He's busy building some supports right now, they're making the dining room look spiffy.

On a side note, nearly flooded the fortress.  Don't get distracted watching miners dig when you're busy flooding your farms for irrigation.  It's not a good idea.

On the up side, we have lots and lots of farmland.



All the red things are shells, btw.  We don't need shells.

[xellas84]

We don't need shells right up till Urist McMetalworker starts up on a platinum warhammer and decides he needs to put 4 layers of shell spike, 3 rings of shell, and at least 4 pictures of himself making the warhammer, all in shell.

[Clover Magic]

And at least one picture of the hammer itself, in shell.   

In autumn right now, gonna go sleep in a bit.  The story and save will be up tomorrow!

[fivex]

I"m joining.

[wilsonns]

[lolghurt]
