I suggest this for the Reclaim of Battlefailed:

Quote
When Battlefailed fell, there were attempts to reclaim it and continue the awesome. They failed, the fort was flooded beyond belief and apparently no longer playable. They gave up and made Failcannon nearby. But then several months later. This happened. -TV Tropes Community Page

Deathgate

Not quite there yet, but it is possibly the first succession game in all of DF history fort to breach hell, and survive long enough to colonize it.
Keep an eye on that succession game.

Hi guys. Offering an alternative (shorter) description for Gemclod:

Quote
Gemclod: let's all get killed and eaten

Gemclod is a "let's play" ran in 2010-2011 in the true spirit of SomethingAwful's succession games with tons of reader collaboration. Perhaps the largest Dwarf Fortress story so far, Gemclod has about 350 official updates, about the same number of fan journals, several dozens of pictures and even 13 custom-made pieces of music. Come join the last surviving members of the "Famous Palisade" in their desperate bit to found a fortress in a sinister swamp, far from the eyes of greenskins, the Arrogant Ones and grizzly bears. Only there can they build a splendid, amazing, truly fabulous Great Hall.

Expect nothing less from the great architect Markus, Cz.

Hey, Jiri. Thanks for getting the archive file out when you did. :P

I'm rereading Gemclod and wouldn't have been able to do that otherwise. SomethingAweful closed the topic to outside access again.

He released the early edition of Gemclod's archive (huge file, btw) just before SA blocked non-subscribers again.

The one I have isn't complete though... it has all the stuff, but there were some wrinkles to iron out (a few missing images, a couple broken links to images, etc.) nothing that would stop me from reading it again.

Though apparently, at the time they were unsure if they will have a place to archive it. Apparently the Let's Play Archive didn't want to let anymore Dwarf Fortress Let's Plays. Whether or not this changed though, I have no clue. The thread was in behind the veil of subscribers only a day or two later.

Yeah, it's basically how EmeraldWing says. Since he mentioned it, here's the .zip archive of Gemclod. Bear in mind it's an unfinished, testing version, so please don't include a link in the first post yet. When I will have done the final archive, I'll post it here. This is just so that you have something to read in the meantime.

Will the final version of Gemclod be hosted somewhere online in the style of the other let's plays? If not, it would be hilarious if the HoL linked directly to whatever download site it would presumably end up at.
