About the Gorge orcs, they are actually the ones that attacked the fort and declared war. I could clearly identify one of the two who declared war, just before shooting fire on the bridge's wall.

[Vattic]

I am in Newlands and can find no metal for a boat a fellow named NoNick and I searched high and low. Is there anywhere better to spawn from which I can find my way to the fort?

Edit: thanks to a fellow dwarf named Nenjin I found some. Turns out I was looking for the wrong icon.

The gate list thing is a little tedious, but I guess as long as people are going to build and rebuild doors, we have to keep track of it. Anyone else who rebuilds a gate or some other public entry needs to maintain access to it.

Notable civilizations
Whaterfal (sp?) orcs, somewhere west of Duradbesmar
"Gorge" orcs, just north of Duradbesmar
Hazion, across the Mainland bridge

Not sure about our diplomatic stance as it seems to change every day. And people will get the Whaterfal and Gorge orcs confused all the time. Hazion is the closest to Duradbesmar, so you may wish to spawn from there.

P.S.S. I think I'm going to just start a new character because I like the way I died and I don't want to come back to life magically even though I was killed. That would be pretty lame from my perspective.

That's actually pretty cool. I think I'll let my character die permanently if he gets killed from assassination or something plot-related too. But still respawning if some zombie eats his brains or a Flargl knocks him into magma

I totally claim head of the Thieves Guild. Heehee.

PS - State of the bridge between Newland and the Mainlands

It's fucked, in a big way. Even IF the orcs hadn't torched the Mountainhome side of it, it's collapsing all along its length from degradation. I imagine by the time someone reads this, it will have decayed entirely.

I've started moving (an assload of) clay and stone up to the start of the bridge on the Mountainhome side. I've built a well so we can make tar there, and there are stone and clay deposits in the Mountainhome, and S, SE of the Mountainhome (or NE of my corner.) So get crackin', and a get stone bridge built. Because we're pretty much back to the days of having to boat across after a respawn.

[Vattic]

Is it common for servers to go down and how long does it usually take before things go back up?

I totally claim head of the Thieves Guild. Heehee.

Very suitable; You look devious dressed as you are.

[Muz]

It's probably not as decayed as it looks. Decay becomes visible at 95% (at least with stone), so there's still a long way to go. We do need to replace that bridge with stone eventually, because it's only a matter of time until a pyromaniac or an orc burns it.

[squeakyReaper]

I'm all for founding another home- especially if I get to participate in the building of this one.  Quite a fun game we have here, though the orcs are a bit...  over zealous.  I know they're supposed to be war-like, but they take it a little over board.

[Rakonas]

Don't know how I didn't notice this topic until now despite 14 pages in 4 days. Looking forward to playing it, sounds like we've got an awesome fortress going. Byond name is Rakonas. Any idea when the server will be up?

[Vattic]

A little bad news:

(Kai): Vattic, might want to let your fellow dwarves know that we'll be wiping soon to replace the saving system.
(Kai): ;(

edit:

(VatticDF): is it just a map or also a character wipe?
(Kai): Complete wipe, both map and character

(Kai): The new save system will be incompitable with the old one.

(F0lak): Tomorrow morning.  Or tonight, if I don't work.

(F0lak): We have 2 hours downtime scheduled for tomorrow.
(F0lak): So it'll be then at the latest.
(F0lak): I have at least some of the day off, so I'm working on the new save system right now.

[Ricky]

the game looks fun, so i just made an account

rck88, i be

Okay... So, do we want to rebuild Duradbesmer where it is, or move it to the Vericy island?

About the Gorge orcs, they are actually the ones that attacked the fort and declared war. I could clearly identify one of the two who declared war, just before shooting fire on the bridge's wall.

The bridge's wall?
I'm a little lost. Can you post a play by play of what happened?

I can only identify maybe 4 orcs. One is a Gorge orc, two are whaterfal, and this third is the extinct tribe that needs to seriously be slaughtered, even if Sirian left. He don't talk to us like that darnit!

Also, Sirian, you wanna take SqueakyReaper for your fortside?

I'm gonna make a Spreadsheet of the fort's mine walls, so we can plan out our next one better. It'll be posted soon. Tomorrow's the wipe, so if we are rebuilding in DuradBesmar, then it'll be based on the plans our community makes and agrees with, instead of this slapshod thing.

[squeakyReaper]

I say that we try to quickly claim our land, wherever it may be.  Vericy Island is a solid place as any, and allows us to work without being disturbed by orcs this time.  This is assuming that all geography will be the same, as they may of changed an area or some such.

As a note, I will be unavailable until 10 PM EST tomorrow.  Sadly this means I can't help with the start up of it, but I will get on right as I get home to provide assistance.  Also, what name shall we use for our fort?

[Muz]

Wait, a complete wipe? It has to have a significant change for something like that... I hope they add proper dwarves

I kinda like Duradbesmar as its current location is. It provides just enough diplomatic conflict to be Fun. But a change of place might be a little more exciting. Maybe we could claim a different island, because I didn't know that this one didn't allow totems. I'd rather it be somewhere a little more dangerous, if we move, though, maybe near magma and some Flargls.

[Kogan Loloklam]

Here it is, scale is 1 pixel per square.

The Purple is area we shouldn't build in, and we should avoid any pillars that clear it too (So that we can have that large area to the right without anyone knowing unless they dig)
The Pink area is the area that is exposed already that we shouldn't mess with. Mainly I say that because we don't wanna add an entire two gates. One orc gate is more than enough
The Brownish area is the area for constructing the fort.

So, plan it out. If no plans are made, It'll just be as it is now.


(Please note, this edit represents a change in the image. The bottom right corner was off a bit, and now its fixed.

[garfield751]

id rather move back to where we are instead of moving but a change of scenery could be nice but at least a wipe dosent mean we have to reclaim the fortress from orcs
