K, I'll be on there shortly, do you want to start asking people whether they want to take part? The more the merrier!

 

Discussion is going very well.

The Mythical Lands, Graspbolt: A KAG-community fortress.
The climate is cold, and relatively benign. We hope. Breeding dogs, cats, and chickens have been brought along with some basic supplies. Very basic supplies. Our requirements of axes, picks and an anvil have left us with little in the way of disposable 'income'. We have, barely, enough food for the season, and nothing 'left' to drink. A crate of leathers provide enough raw materials to armour ourselves against early attacks - should any occur. The land itself is easily defensible. A hill in the centre of the map. Plenty of water, though presently frozen. And surface-level limonite. So long as we can get a good foothold, we should do fine...
The Livid Ceiling:

• Cog Admiredpaged - expedition leader, the administrator.
• Ber Orbsjustice - the Medic
• Tun Lovesabre - the Mechanic
• Goden Crewstandard - the Artist
• Muthkat Inkknife - the Woodsman
• Solon Splashedinks - a Miner
• Dishmab Wavewound - a Miner

1st Granite, 123. Early Spring.

The rules:
Players sign on to a roster, currently composed of dylanduran, miauw and myself, and take turns playing a year at a time. Play may proceed to the next available player in case of a delay. If you can't hack it, pass your turn and let the next player have a go.
And... I kinda, messed up the worldgen. Once DFHACK is updated, we may likely be switching over to Legends of the Forlorn Realm (mod). Also needs an update, possibly. But that stuff is all secondary to setting rosters and getting the game on, working out the kinks and getting into a groove. Ready when you are!

 

Well..... this is gonna turn out terrifically -_- I can almost hear the screams of those poor dwarves. Can I go near the end of the list? Last time I did something like this I was right at the top, this time I want the fortress to have got going. That alright? :)

 

poifect, tho we might wind up with a few go-arounds.

 

We need more people at least.
Arent we using legends of forlorn realm?
Anyway, looks pretty neat.
Should i post that we are going to do a succesion fort on the df forums kag thread?

EDIT:
If we get enough people, can i be 5th or something like that?
Looks like a good position to start.

EDIT:
Dfhack for 34.07 is out!

Also:
I hope you embarked whit a woodsman thats also axedorf and teacher.

 

Is there a thread for our game? Or is there just an amazing lack of people signing up?

 

I bet its the second.
I'll post it at the df kag thread, instead of the kag df thread.
EDIT:
Done.
Now excuse me while i try to figure out how to play aurora.
It seems that it is the 'dwarf fortress of the 4x games'.
That basically means that its very hard and has a near straight up learning curve...

:D

 

awww Dwarfortres:D i want to join this :D

 

Guys, please don't burn me for this but...
I wanted... i REALLY wanted to play this game. But i just can't get myself to...

It's not that it's complex...
I just get bored of it after a while.

 

Yeah, woo! That's two more confirmed on the roster.

The utilities have been updated, though no doubt, we'll see updates through the course of our game. We will be playing with a mod, Legends of the Forlorn Realms, and a few utilities: Dwarf Therapist, stonesense, DFHACK//workflows, veindig and... anything that simplifies the game without being a cheat outright.

I think we're sitting at 5 right now. Dylan, Miauw62 (not to be confused with [HA]Miaow), dylanduran, Beef, Duke2Die4 and myself. We're aiming for 6-10 players, so it won't be long before we get started. All players will be required to report on their turns. Stylistic suggestions? Make them now.

We're playing with 'standard rules' - play a year and pass it on. Pass if you can't play your turn and we'll shift your position accordingly. Take too long to play your turn, and we'll skip on to the next. We all have to live up to our RL commitments first and foremost. Anything else? Discuss.

See my above posts about how "I can't take it anymore". DF makes you work hard for your entertainment. Just pass on your save. Make an exchange.

 

Embark on a terrifying biome and try to survive.
Else, just mod in some bronze collosus adventurer that has [HEALING_RATE:1] on EVERYTHING, then go on a rampage killing everybody in a major town, and move on to the next major town.
Fun times... fun times...

EDIT:
Also, did you gen the world with the lofr mod already installed?
Else it may not work properly.
btw, dont expect any stonesense screenies from me, i prefer to go ASCII.

 

Personally, I don't play with it on. It causes things to slow down massively. But it IS a whole lot of fun to play around with, when you're trying to tell a story.

 

i my self only played df mabe 10weeks or so back and forth, im not familar whit the rules of succesion forts but i read ur rules and i hope u can fill me in if miss something :) dont worry i know how to play df.

 

it bee cool if we had special rules like what to make a living of. like if we were only to trade and work whit animals, make crafts of there bones hair milk wool and lether and trade 4 wepons and the rest or somehting simular:D

 

I love dwarf fortress lps. Here's one of the best ones from somethingawful.
http://lparchive.org/Dwarf-Fortress-Boatmurdered/
Though most people have probably already read it

 

If you havent, you are classified E for elf.

Also, its going to be a quite normal fort, but we'll keep it running as long as we can.
I want to be fifht.
One rule: When the fortress dies, it MUST HAVE A MAGMA LEVER.
That floods the entire fort with magma.
The pumpstack must be powered by dwarven infinite power reactors, because those are just the only gauranteed way if we arent aquifering.
Can i build the pumpstack please?
I have heard of a lagless design, building it from top-to-bottom.

 

i think alot of players will have lagg whit pumps and turbines :/
