Ugoshur, Hollowhearth [Succession, gnolls]
« on: August 18, 2011, 01:12:58 pm »

Quote
On this day, in the year 251 of the Age of Myth, a bitterly cold, starving and bone-tired group of bedraggled gnoll refugees arrive on the edge of the Blizzard of Splitting, driven by relentless human assaults from their home of Gebarrigoth. At their heels come bands of raiders and ravagers from the Legendary Realms, intent on wiping out the gnollish people and ending their periodic rampages for good.

Their rations completely gone and their backs to the harsh, icy northern wall, the survivors drag out their scavenged tools, grind the rust from the blades, and strike the earth.

In a nutshell: a settlement populated by tribal savages (gnolls) in the middle of a frozen hellhole. They don't farm, they're at war with the humans, and they're slow to pick up new skills, but born with talents that relate to the colour of their fur. Standard one-year-per-turn, with a few guidelines (not mechanically enforced):
  • No extensive digging. No underground habitation. Digging a small cistern is fine, digging a full mountain hall is not.
  • Build aboveground as much as possible.
  • No trap spam. Gnolls are a feral and bloodthirsty bunch who don't hide behind six dozen cage traps.
  • No farming. Food is hunted, traded or fished.

If this interests you, speak up and take a turn! Otherwise, if you still want to take part, standard dorfing procedure applies (even if it's probably better to call it gnolling). You get two weeks to play out your turn and post your write-up, after which you'll be skipped.

Turn order (playing, waiting, skipped):
  • Lofn
  • accoro
  • Alchemical Engineer
  • mgrinshpon
  • Naina

Gnollcall
  • 'Zerrcho', Darkfur female - Zer0
  • 'Laefin', Whitefur male - Lofn
  • 'Keshena', Redfur female - Keshena
  • 'Derk Vunder', darkfur male - The Master
  • 'Alchey', silverfur female - Alchemical Engineer
  • 'M'Grinshpon', Brownfur female - mgrinshpon
  • 'Accoro', Darkfur female - accoro

Any takers?

The beauty of .25 is that the raws are contained in the save folder, so you'll just need the uploaded save. I'm using a gnoll mod I threw together, plus Wanderer's Friend. Other than that, it's vanilla .25.

Sure thing.

Done and done.

I'll wait a day or so to try and fill up the starting seven before I start my year and detailed writeup.

I am so there. I'll do a round and make me one of the trolls. Preferably an architect.

Two gnolls still up for grabs, the warrior redfur and a sneaky darkfur. Once they're taken I'll start in earnest.

I don't want a turn, but can I please be gnolled?  Name, Nix.  Bio: A bloodthirsty spear gnoll, the reason for his anger issues is because of his sissy name, and he uses blood and pain to block out the embarrassment.

I think I'd like a turn. I've never played a succession game before, but I do love building aboveground forts. Sounds like a very interesting mod. Looks like the starting 7 are taken, so I suppose I'll grab an immigrant. Gnoll female, if you could manage it, fur color unimportant.

Looks like the mod needs some tweaking (ha ha, not being able to craft weapons is great), so I'll be reembarking. I'll keep the people who have asked for a gnoll as close to their request as possible. Sorry for the delay!

Can I have a gnoll, and a turn? Yakrash the male gnoll, preferably with no social skills, migrating to the fort after making one enemy too many. :) Looks like Fun!
