Note to next overseer: the caverns are actually very easy to defend, if you wall of the north side of the magma pipe which is floored over and remove the up ramps near the water on the left then the only way into the fortress is a 1 tile wide bridge.

So what't the status of the fort now Asheton?

There was an abandon, or were you able to save scum?

How many dwarves, and is the bronze colossus still loose?

Umm... I played for about 6 months, meant to click save game and instead clicked abandoned fortress, I don't backup saves (though I probably should) so I reclaimed and the Bronze Colossus had somehow escaped its cage and presumably killed everybody when I came back though I didn't know why they were gone at first (Bronze Colossus was hidden in ambush). It then revealed itself and killed everybody so I reclaimed again and laid down a cage trap on the path to the cavern and lured the BC up with stray animals though it ignored the trap and killed everybody again so I reclaimed, paused, nicknamed everybody and appointed nobles then saved, quit and uploaded. So if the BC is there (pretty likely) it'll be hidden in ambush.... somewhere. And 7 dwarfs

[Farmerbob]

Heh, ok.

In that case I suppose we're looking for a reclaimer overseer.

If nobody else speaks up in a day or three I'll grab it and run a turn.

Reclaim overseer can fail all they want on reclaiming, until they get a stable start.

don't worry. i've done that myself several times... reclaiming sucks.

[Farmerbob]

Can anyone with a Rapidshare account grab this and put it on DFFD?

It's not downloading for me, and I'm not sure what spam that's trying to install on my machine is legit and what's not at this site.

Got it.  Thanks.  Never done a reclaim before, should be FUN!

4 Granite 1010.

  We had heard horror stories, but saw nothing to back them up for several days.  We knew something was horribly wrong when we saw three fully loaded wagons parked right where we wanted to park ours.  The tracks we could see were huge and heavy, and one of our first priorities was to set up traps to try to catch or kill whatever had been killing our kin.  Despite our preparations Momuz, Deler, and one of the dogs died when the beast finally showed up.  Between the three of them and the fall into the pit, the colossus appears to have been terribly injured.  Our fallen shall be remembered as heroes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

  For the time being, however, those of us remaining must now begin the process of reclaiming this place and making it fit for dwarven kind.

Don't forget to explore the caverns! I wanted them to be habitated but accidently abandoned first  congrats on capturing the BC

[Farmerbob]

Good lord.  Since when are colossi trapimmune?  Created a hallway of cages to trap the thing so it wouldn't keep interrupting dwarves trying to do their jobs, and bam, it walked straight through them.  Checking on savescums to see if I have one with the colossus trapped.

Fought the colossus on the bridges again and got it to fall into the pit, again.  Then a few months later, the volcano started to overflow for some freak reason.

I suspect that someone used a mod or hack and something was broken as a result.  Ending Foldedlens.

[Dyg]

On second thought, I probably should have killed the bronze colossus when I had a chance. I knew someone was going to screw us over with it, yet I liked my lawn ornament.

The volcano overflow is just funny though. Part of the cavern collapsed when I accessed ashtons save, so it might have pushed the magma sea up a bit or something?

Still, fortress death by abandonment with no real possibility of reclaim. That's literally the least fun way to go.

[ashton1993]

I'm pretty sure of what happened there, it's not a hack there's a murky pool which is cut in half by the volcano a few Z's above the surface, whenever it rains water trickles into the volcano creating obsidian, sometimes because the obsidian isn't properly connected to the surroundings it collapses, as for the volcano overflowing to keep the magma level lava in magma tubes and volcanoes occasionally create extra lava/magma to keep the level as it is, the obsidian must have displaced some lava/magma causing an overflow... it's not a hack merely a glitch.

I was just wondering, mind if I use your save for a project? I for one enjoy disaster.
