[Loud Whispers]

Are we still doing this?

[ajr]

Are you still doing this we're all waiting for reports from you fearing that you have failed as nothing is heard from you. Anything more epic might get painted and so on, you're on your second day Loud Whispers sup?

[Loud Whispers]

Yeah the thing is Anderz V. 2 is causing a loyalty cascade, and is winning. [With a crossbow nonetheless].

The best I can do I move everyone elsewhere until Anderz dies from starvation or something. Should we just abandon it or hang on for dear life?

[Loud Whispers]

Never mind, crisis averted, the soap maker that attacked Anderz v.2 must've bled to death before he could pummel his brains out.

THE FUN CONTINUES!!!

*Edit, OH GOD WHAT HAVE YOU PEOPLE DONE TO THIS FORT!!!

Pretty much everyone is dehydrating, I have to make blocks to build a well quickly, booze is out, barrels are full, stuff is rotting, dwarves are dying, no hospital's have been set up... A Titan could probably single handedly kill half of the fortress....

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

Spoiler: Now this simply won't do. (click to show/hide)

^ Loud Ikled sampling the delicious cavern water whilst I try to get a well built. It's a damn good thing I was brought along, too much underground fort with too little above ground fort >:|

[Jilladilla]

rock pots at craftdwarf workshop should prolly help(tho may not kick in fast enough for everyone...)

[Loud Whispers]

At this rate I'm going to need more coffins then pots D:

[ansontan2000]

Oh.So that's why you think i'm cursed.

What's up Loud Whispers? Do you have the save for goatpangod?

[Loud Whispers]

Spoiler: TA DA! (click to show/hide)

It's not pretty, but it isn't dead.

[thegoatgod_pan]

yay-for survival-I was worried I might never get a chance at it.  I love cavern forts and love rebuilding forts after a horrorshow situation.

[thegoatgod_pan]

Downloading now--update by tomorrow, promise

[thegoatgod_pan]

Quick question--how exactly do I extract rar files, winrar demands 30 dollars or signing up to an intrusive bot offer--any alternatives?

ed. trying 7zip now

First update: no screenshots, because I've never had to post a screen before and don't know where to begin.

Journal of Shaman, Goatgod_pan.

I was drawn to this fort by the compelling nature of the venture: to commune with our birthright; the caverns below.
I had settled here, staying deep down and had little to offer of my skills, until at long last the beast came with whom we could commune: Stospdab, a great three-eyed scorpion, charteuse and emanciated.  He settled in our lake, and before long I began to understand the whispers of this lovely creature: it wanted me to rule.

Those of you who wonder at the wisdom of listening to a Forgotten Beast, consider: a good third of the fort worships a god of disease represented by a rotting dwarf.  Surely my shamanism is not as troubling as that.

I announced myself simply by seizing power from some fool, some months later she seemed to be reelected mayor, but by then my plans were in motion.

I was horrified to learn that the surface (oh how I long for the caverns again) defenses consisted of...well...nothing.

Not even dogs in a bloody pasture. No wall, not even doors.  I suppose the bridge might be sealable, but no fuckin' way am I looking for someone sane around here who knows what lever seals it. And besides its apartenly farm bleeding central upthere.  BY my account we are farming enough to feed 10000 dwarves.  But do we have booze?  No.  No booze.  No armok-be-damned booze, and no barrels and one sill and not even a fucking well!

This is a sad place and everything is made of salt.

No I mean it.

Everything on the surface is built of rock fucking salt.  There are literally herds of wild goats licking the shit out of every wall and surface.  We don't even have hunters to get a benefit out of it.


What the previous founders spent their time doing is questionable.

I find:
A. dozens of forbidden dead dwarves lying around in the middle of major passage ways.  Horrible!
B. A mason shop full of animal bones.  Weird?
C. A burial ground composed of a dozen coffins in a row. on the OTHER side of the wall keeping us safe from our noble three-eyed scorpion friend.  Problematic.
D. No metal industry.
E. No military of skill or training facilities. Gutsy
F. Religious dwarves who worship 1. a rotting dwarf of disease. 2. chance and gambling. 3. rains and storms. Peculiar.

I find a strange structure with beds. Hospital?  Barracks?  Who knows, I am ignoring it.

I find...BLOODY ARMOK WHAT THE DEVIL IS THAT...THATS WHERE ALL THE WOOD WENT!!!
Words cannot describe what I am seeing: in a fort with no wall we generate endess water power to no purpose what so ever.  Lovely.

No I am building a palisade, a circular palisade, keep it rock salt with orthoclase support pillars.  And by way of entrance, what we, in the mountain halls call a "dodge-em trap".

I am building a legendary well room and reservoir with the artifact mechanism I find left behind.

I am building a mayoral room complex and using the artifact table to build a meeting room.

I am setting up a simple flooding device for a tree farm

I am getting a militia to train and archers to shoot archery.

I shall dig to magma and set up a metal industry.

I shall make a coffin complex.

I swear by the end of this year, I shall become ever so close with Sposdab the three-eyed scorpion.  Indeed I shall carve his very bones.

and the lever on the top level of the caverns next to the central stairs controls the bridge up top, just need to roof it off

It's good that someone takes the fortress seriously. I can give some advice however. Prepare for the next merchant, if the last broker was in his senses he would have ordered more booze and food barrels as well as loads of wood.

Military can be linked with underground megaprojects because dwarves will use their mining skill with weapons if they don't have weapon skill. So assing new miners and make the current ones military if they're close legendary.

And btw, the lever to the seal is marked with a note and it's right next to the stairway down in the caverns.
