In honor of the fallen we salute!
It was great story indeed.
Now do that in new haunted biome pretending that it's consequences of Oceanbridge fail. (this however may require several attempts to get an undead evil biome by the ocean, preferably with working adventure mode.)

[Haika]

Woot, FUN in all it's connotational glory. If that's even a word.

Anyway, yeah I'd love to see you start writing a new fort in the same world as Oceanbridge. Or at least as far as the writing goes the same world. Might be a good point to update and gen up a new world and go from there. Maybe some descendants of those who escaped either from Oceanbridge or the mountainhome earlier. With the right spin anything can make for good story fuel.

[peregarrett]

I'm for new fort at 0.34. Zombies instead of Fortess Defence's alives... Not sure if this mod has been ported to 0.34, new terrifying biome is hardcore anyway.

Maybe using the same seed as for this world?

[Siverix]

well whatever you do I want to be redorfed as Goldhammer with the custom tittle Minister of Kilnworks and Witchhunting.

[varnish]

I'm thinking new version, same world (story wise), which seems to be the general consensus? Off to try to generate the appropriate world. This may take some time... Specifically, finding a world with two continents close enough to be connected by a bridge, with evil biomes, ideally one both sides? Hm.

Ideas, ideas.

This might be a bit selfish, but try Masterwork DF. Highly customizable, comes with pre-genned worlds, added content, much better FPS, things like that. The only drawback is that the tileset swapping doesn't work as of right now, so you'd have to deal with Phoebus, no ASCII option at the moment.
Still, you could turn on/off things like aquifers, individual races, set the population cap, etc etc. I think it's worth a look.

[Di]

Perfect world seems to have been updated for this version.
Also, why both evil biomes? It could be more symbolic to have starting side in the evil biome, ocean to be untamed wilds (so dwarves won't run away seeing a zombie fish several levels below), and the destination to be calm or serene. (Bonus: build not a bridge but a sea passage using moses effect) Just a thought here, do as you like of course.

[Rhaken]

Just so you know, I have been keeping up with the thread. Bloody hell, it's awesome. Just sporadically due to real life stuff. And I vote we use the same seed to gen the world. Even had me a neat idea, if varnish wants it.

In any case, I guess it's time for another journal entry. Will it be the last? Probably not.

From the Second Book of Croaker

I guess it is my time.

I suppose I could have prevented this. I have seen the creatures of the depths before. Though no two are alike in appearance, they all share common traits other than being timeless abominations. Like all of them being immune to mundane traps.

But I said nothing. I was not involved enough. I thought Oceanbridge would be a place away from my old life. Who knows, I might have found me a frisky lass to occupy my mind (and various parts of my anatomy). But once a soldier, always a soldier, I guess.

This is my final entry. I have heard the cries coming from below. Soon that kangaroo-thing will be here, and that will be it. But I have taken precautions. Though I may not survive, the First Book, along with what little there is of the Second, will. The originals lie buried beneath my quarters, safe until Time claims them. I had made a copy of my writings and stashed it in a chest. As soon as I'm done here, I'm chucking that chest in the ocean. If there's even a tiny chance that our history will live on, I'm willing to take it.

I can hear the others out in the halls. The beast has come. I don't have much time. I never actually thought I'd get to write my own epitaph.

So ends the journey of Croaker, medic and last survivor of Punchdoors, later medic of Oceanbridge. Rakust take me. Break out the keg, lads, I am coming home.

I am putting the pen down.


Sequel hook, anyone?

[varnish]

Ok, this is going to take longer than I expected. Checking out several mods, though the fact that I would have to use the tileset makes the Masterwork one less appealing. Tilesets confuse the heck out of me. I do like all the options, though.

In the meantime, if you want to be redwarfed, let me know. And Rhaken, i'm open to any sort of suggestion right now.

I hope to get the restart going soon.

[neo1096]

Requesting eternal redwarfing. You know the drill, I can't move on until the job is done.

[Haika]

Sure, I'll take another dwarf when things get working again. Maybe put in a Haika for a farmer/cook.

[armeggedonCounselor]

I'll be glad to be dorfed/redorfed in the next iteration of Oceanbridge.

[bayar]

Would love to be dorfed again. Female dwarf named Bayar, sister of the two brothers that died in Oceanbridge. Yeah, their father was not all that creative when coming up with names.

[Dermonster]

Sure. Military like last time.

[peregarrett]

Sure thing I want a dorf! Gar, male mechanic, as usual. Make auto-atomsmashing every zombie that escapes refuze stockpile, water - or magma-cleaning battelfield device, and such.
