It has come to my attention that most fortresses are abandoned due to FPS rather than Fun.  The aim is to combine the tension of early and mid gameplay with the late game quality of a developed fortress.

Core Rules:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- Every adult dwarf is named by a player.  When the next player on the list doesn't have a dwarf, the population cap is raised.  The current player chooses dwarfs for the future players and causes the rest of the migrants to have unfortunate accidents
- Children and nobles are exempt
- Thus, excluding children, nobles, and skipped turns, the fortress in general grows by one dwarf per year
- Deaths, births, marriages and moods should be mentioned in the thread, as the small population makes these important

Example: We start with seven dwarfs.  For six years we have the population cap set at one.  By year seven five players have signed up to take a turn.  The player raises the population cap and receives a migrant wave.  They reset the population cap, choose five of these dwarfs and cause the rest to have unfortunate accidents.

General Rules:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- Don't intentionally destroy the fortress
- Turns last one year
- When it's your turn, you have three days to post in the thread and one week to finish.  This can change if the FPS starts dropping.  The three days count towards the one week limit.

Errata:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- If you can't play, please announce that you're skipping your turn.  If so, you can ask to be added at any point on the list
- If a player skips, they don't get a new dwarf until they take their turn

We'll started with a full seven dwarfs, so the fortress won't grow until year 7.

I want turn 3. 

Since we're not going to have a lot of dwarfs, can we make the embark 3x3 at least?

[Selenite]

I want to play. Will be my first Succession, if you don't mind.
I'll go 2nd.
I want the military dwarf (any military skill, you choose.)
Dwarf Name: Zorqe

[Edosurist]

TURN 4! but i might be VERY busy then. is it ok if I have more like year 5/6?
I don't want anything special.
Name: Edosurist
Profession: suturer or carpenter

[melkor]

turn 5
name:melkor
profession: miner

also i am not so good with sortcuts
what does TBA mean?
and about killing the other immigrants, your thinking about locking them up and let them starve.
this means that we need a lot of coffins.

or will you edit the game so only 1 immigrant will come each year

TBA means To Be Announced

I vote editing, if possible.  Killing migrants leads to a fortress clogged with ghosts and coffins, as I know well.

Posting to follow, may ask for a turn later

How you ensure that only one dwarf joins the fortress is up to the player.  I'm going to use the population cap during my turn.

[wlerin]

Yeah, 'cause the pop cap is actually a cap... oh wait...

(The second someone puts the cap over 7 [even if it's just to 8], you'll get a 20+ migrant wave inbound. I exaggerate slightly, but only slightly.)

The fortress won't be growing for the first 6 turns, so we'll be using it there.  After that we'll have to kill any extras, unless there's an editing tool I'm not aware of.

You can use RuneSmith to set the flags on the unwanted migrants to "Left Map", it seems to make dwarves disappear without triggering ghosts.

Or you could set up a (very large) hall of records with one engraved slab for every migrant you kill.

Or you could set up a (very large) hall of records with one engraved slab for every migrant you kill.

Ideally after encasing said migrant in a block of obsidian, and then using that exact block to carve the slab.

[Conflict]

Neat. I'll be following this succession

[Edosurist]

ARMOK! this removing dorfs thing sounds complicated. glad i'm playing before turn 8

[ext0l]

Make me a mechanic please.
