Thx wiz for fast response, got it up n runnin
Should I use a texture pack or not?

[TSTwizby]

Whichever you prefer I guess... I personally prefer ascii, but that's just because I'm used to it by now. (I look at a picture of a dog, and it takes a few seconds before it clicks and I think "Oh, that's a 'd'!")

Well when I play a solo game I very much prefer ascii but I have a feeling that I would miss something without any graphical support

[ashton1993]

I can't see what's going on without ascii on, it just looks like a mess, heh, I'll be ready to start my turn on Tuesday by the way though thinking about it with all the new players in it might be an idea to stick me on the end actually

[slowpokez]

OK, a quick "first impressions update".
The fort is very VERY cluttered, there's furniture, animals and mushrooms everywhere!

Edit:I realised this might not have been the best picture as it seems as if this area is relatively well organized.

I think the roof is leaking here.

There is a "sewer" below so I guess this topic has already been dealt with.

Is there supposed to be magma/lava here?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If no, then why is it there, one might ask.

Well... I found various things that I don't know if they are traps or not.
Here's some examples:

This looks an awful lot like a trap, but could potentially be something else...
and

Well, that's obviously a trap, hidden among the dangerroom spears

If anyone is bothered by the fact that I'm using a tileset I could easily change that for the next update.
P.S. Why do we only have 6 militarydwarfs?

Someone finally noticed! Took long enough.

[TSTwizby]

Most of the military dwarves died during my turn against the tigermen, thanks to all those holes in the walls. And strictly speaking, all of the clutter lying around is indeed stockpiled.

i really hope those are geese sitting on the hatches...

[TSTwizby]

They are, I think. Unless the dwarves somehow managed to release some caged creatures without my noticing.

[slowpokez]

Seeing how the fort lacked any sort of military I made myself the commander and recruited some dwarves. Picked up an artifact weapon and an artifact shield

Down in the caverns a forgotten beast is slaying a puppy.

The puppy is vomiting everywhere.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The poor thing has been massacred for several minutes now

Then suddently-

The puppy kicks the FBs ass ,forgot to take pic though

For some reason I don't really trust this construction

There's alot of magma and water just flowing around in the caverns...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This looks an awful lot like a mist generator...but with magma in...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Wierd room full of beakwolves...Don't see the point for them being there, but that is a feeling I get alot in this place...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Well...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There is magma flowing out of the wall, multiple stockpiles burning, tigermen escaping their cages and tantrumers toppeling ALL THE BEDS.
Great times...
Dwarf fortress crashes. :I

Round 2.
This time I wall of the hallways where the magma came from(walled in some peasants and a few dogs). I also decided not to touch the lever labeled "IT'SATRAP!" since i belive that is what freed the tigerman.

My new squad of marksdwarves is causally rainin some death on those buzzards.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Very ammo efficient since they die from the falldamage 

Well, this pic pretty much summs it all up.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I thaught the giant war eagle was tame...Balls

P.s alot of dwarves are drowning down in the cavern lake and alot of masterworks of differnet character are being destroyed...I have no idea what I'm doing.Lol

[TSTwizby]

...wow. The lava overflowed faster than I expected. I was trying to set up a kind of time bomb thing, only I guess I screwed up somehow. Also, how are dwarves even getting into the caverns? I've had them sealed up for like two months while the puppy was fighting the forgotten beast?

[andyman564]

that puppy should be the fort's new guard animal... assuming it lives.

[Ifeno]

1.  Is that my failed drown/burn trap that was turned into a magma spewing monstrocity?

2.  OH YEA! POSESSING PEOPLE! THATS HOW WE DO!

[TSTwizby]

Which exactly was your failed drown/burn trap? The thing on top of the volcano, the set of grates down in the caverns, the diverted part of the volcano overflow containment system, or the thing that's flooding the dining room?

[Ifeno]

neither of those.  It was the thing with all the dwarves traped in above a moat of magma and water.
