Pssh. It wasn't bad the last time we opened the gateOn second thought, maybe you are right.

[Eldes]

Have yu checked to make sure there isn't an alert or burrow active?

[kefkakrazy]

The burrows for this place are a nightmare, too. I attribute about a month's worth lost labor to the thing's, followed by labor getting moving in a big hurry, followed by the burrows (which now had most of the fortress population confined to the Hellbunker and the quarries above) resulting in massive loss of life when demons got in past the defenses...
Good times!

Have yu checked to make sure there isn't an alert or burrow active?

No, and I KNEW there was something I forgot to check.  Thanks, Eldes!

[Eoganachta]

Wow. Things seem to be progressing with... progress again. Glad to see Deathgate striving for one last venture before the earth swallows us forever.
Red Shield has my full approval! 

Also, how fares Eoganachta? I haven't heard anything about my dwarf from several overseers so I fear the worst. If he's sleeping with the Candy, can I be redorfed please, if any remain unclaimed? Metalsmithing if possible. Thanks.

And here's your new dwarf

Spoiler:  Eoganachta (click to show/hide)

I forgot to add it here, but in the fort he is indeed marked with a "II"

Also, if anyone else made dwarfing requests, could you remind me what they were please?

[ThatAussieGuy]

This is an emergency update.  I _NEED_ the location of the exterior drawbridge lever right now.

This is an emergency update.  I _NEED_ the location of the exterior drawbridge lever right now.

Crap, I don't quite remember which one it is. It's either in the control room directly by the BATTERERY, there should be a note, or its the gold lever directly infront of the hospital. One controls the cage trap bridge, and the other gets the drawbridge.

Pretty sure its the former. Make sure the lever and the doors leading to it are unforbidden!.

(what's the emergency?)

[ThatAussieGuy]

Something completely unexpected that could decide the fate of the fort.  I THINK I've found it, I've got dwarves unbarring the way to the lever now.  I really hope they work fast for once and get everything set up in time...


I found the bridge lever.  Now it's just a race to see if the dwarves can get the job I set them done in time


It was done in time.  What drove me to such madness, you may ask?  What event could possibly make me forsake Operation Red Shield and open Deathgate to the world?

Why are we letting humans into Deathgate? I thought the official policy was !!magma!! delivery ...

That's not a human civ...

I've given them a bunch of adamantine weapons and they're walking out with a little under 150,000 profit just to make sure they get back with good news.  I bought some anvils, picks, and booze in exchange.  Also a lot of cheese.

[The Mad Fool]

We're not alone! There's more dorfs out there!

[ThatAussieGuy]

We're not alone! There's more dorfs out there!

If we're VERY lucky, we may even get some migrants out of this.  Possibly.  The only worrying thing is that there wasn't a liason with the caravan.

We're a mountianhome, no liaison. How we became a mountianhome is a matter of some debate ...

In addition, the cavern is generated out of thin air. The only way to get migrants is to mod the save, or runesmith the traders into our civ.

From my last entry:

16 Timber
Amidst the continued toppling of beds and coffins by our ghostly ancestors, news reached us that a caravan from the outer lands had actually arrived !



....

27 Timber
Since our last trader died at the beginning of the year, the nearest dwarf to the trade depot took it upon himself to conduct negotiations. For his initiative and successful negotiation, "renegadelobster" has now been appointed official broker.

Since my last entry, we obtained several bags of gypsum plaster, as well as sand, food, and booze from the dwarven caravan, in exchange for bins of old clothing that will no doubt seem like treasures to the wandering dwarf clans.

So apparently no one reads walls of text anymore >_>

There was an inexplicable gap of several years a while (~ 10 years) back, but otherwise a dwarven caravan has been arriving every year since the fort was founded.

Did you get any sand from the caravan? Or iron and steel? And did you seriously just waste adamantine one gypsy dwarves? There won't be any migrants.


As to Eoganachta, from my Legends notes:

Kosoth has been mayor since late spring 771. The year after her sister, and Kogan's mother, died.

Eoganachta III, and 12 other dwarves died that same month.

Unless there was an Eoganachta IV, your dwarf was killed in 772 along with the (current?) mayor's sister and my (now deceased) avatar's mother, --ahem, make that 771, I worded the original poorly. The other two were killed in 770 along with General Eoganachta.
