Dyewhipped - Today, we experiment with lava in Dwarf Fortress - Games

Alright, time to transfer the saves and start playing. [editline]14th March 2012[/editline] Well, shortly after starting, one of the gemworkers decided to begin a mysterious construction at a gem shop. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/xbWNe.png[/IMG] He chose a single golden beryl. Also pictured is the main smelting and smithing area from what I gleamed, and the stockpile. Above the man himself is a mason's workshop and several others. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/i90qG.png[/IMG] It's studded with itself. Nothing special or all that amazing [IMG_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/WJB3N.png[/IMG_thumb] It's pretty organized, with the bed rooms located a few floors below all the hubbub here. More to come later, as more interesting things happen. Right now I'm digging for caverns.

I may as well give some tips for those of you who don't already know them: • You can get a list of animals to butcher by pressing [z], then going to Animals. You can then press [b] after highlighting animals to mark them for butchering • Make sure you toggle food/drink supplies on/off in the "stocks' menu of the [z] screen. You should generally save some tallow, untoggle drinks from being cooked, and don't let seeds be cooked. • burrows are designated with [w], and you can assign specific citizens to stay there using that menu as well. You can use that to cook the children. • I labeled things with the [N] key, although they don't make much sense anymore, and the tombs were turned into a hospital, and the old hospital is now a bar/block stockpile. • A magma death room was created at the southwest corner of the main floor, but it doesn't have a drain so it's not reuseable. Furthermore, the only thing holding back the magma is a non-magmasafe floodgate. • I had originally designed the apartment buildings to have [url=http://i.imgur.com/SdkeB.png]a single central room for nobles[/url] on each floor. Use them if you'd like, or use those strip-style rooms someone designated above. Doesn't really matter to me as it's your turn, not mine. • The nobles are currently dis-satisfied with their current living arrangements. • Even though we have an insane amount of people, there's nobody in the military and their equipment isn't properly set up. • I originally made [url=http://i.imgur.com/dnRng.png]a military alert[/url] that sends all of the civilians to the top floor of the compound; all you need to do is set it to active. Although I suggest you modify where they go, as just heading to the top floor is pretty dumb during a siege. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

We have no military yet? This cannot go well if goblin christmas comes early.

I'm working on using the stores of galena we've got to produce some silver weapons, and I'll see about getting good armor.

So Hoooooows it going?

[QUOTE=Kaizo45;35143393]I'm working on using the stores of galena we've got to produce some silver weapons, and I'll see about getting good armor.[/QUOTE] It's heavy so use it for maces/hammers

Blunt weapons aren't as good at killing shit though, they're mostly incapacitators and bone breakers especially with the fix. The most common kill with them will happen after the enemy has multiple broken bones, gives into pain and the soldier will smash his head a few times in a row. So try to find a better metal to make swords out of later on. Dig deeper!

Maybe use them in conjunction with other weapons, mostly make more silver bolts because they're nice.

rolling up on day 2 now. How's it going?

I keep freezing and shit, but I should be done soon assuming DF cooperates.

I've drafted a few more useless or nigh useless dwarves, and set a uniform of metal and silver warhammers. I've also begun digging out MORE bedrooms, with a few large noble's rooms. DF takes long to save, and whitescreens during it. Hopefully I'll power through the seasons tomorrow and get a ton more pictures. Also hopefully something eventful happens, as we seem to be at peace. Oh, I've also begun construction of an optional danger room for us to use.

get some crossbows going as well!

Well. Literally the moment I open up the fortress to gather wood, we are sieged. I activate the cower in a corner alert and most of the fortress goes back in. Our mayor does not make it in, and Hypnotoad is presumed dead. A bunch of other dwarves who were busy bathing when the siege came are also presumed dead, along with a few children. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3ZC3Z.png[/IMG] The trolls are here, fighting a dog. Another one is below ground, probably trying to come into the fort that way. The siege in total measures about a hundred and six assorted gobbos and trolls, and we're likely going to lose a few more dwarves to the siege forces outside. The military has been called to action, but likely won't kill the trolls inside quickly enough. [editline]16th March 2012[/editline] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wdWfB.png[/IMG] [editline]16th March 2012[/editline] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/QIEn9.png[/IMG] [i]haha[/i] [b]fuck[/b] I'm considering handing off the fort to somebody else, this is literally my first ever siege in DF.

Oh fuck, please tell me that's not what you're going to leave me with. Anyone have a problem with me making a drawbridge party?

I can't even see the tantrums in the sea of dwarves going OH FUCK A TROLL, although the dog now has a herbalist backing him up, it looks like they're going to torture it to death with punches and bites. I'm going to breach the volcano wall and flood the surface partially using a tunnel that was just kinda there. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NB1P9.png[/IMG] [editline]16th March 2012[/editline] I'm saving, and going to upload the save to somebody who can handle this better than me, or I can continue watching as the fortress goes totally batshit with tantrums. [editline]16th March 2012[/editline] [url=http://www.mediafire.com/?ijosw6d48sctezz]Any takers for that,as a matter of fact?[/url]

[QUOTE=Kaizo45;35168503] I'm saving, and going to upload the save to somebody who can handle this better than me, or I can continue watching as the fortress goes totally batshit with tantrums. [/QUOTE] Does it really matter whether or not you think you can't handle it? I thought some of the fun from this came from the fact that you get the save and you have to straighten up the fortress to the best of your abilities and then pass it on? As long as you didn't deliberately shower the whole fortress in magma etc, then I don't see a problem with you playing your turn just because you don't think you're very good at handling sieges. :)

I opened the door long enough to kick out a vampire with an axe. She was promptly pinned by three trolls and dismembered by a cave crawler. The stunt ended up letting in a troll, another cave crawler, and a gobby. After killing them, the fort remained sealed and I just didn't open the doors again. If you need wood though, go dig a big chamber underground and then punch a hole in the cavern layer. Then flood the chamber to muddy it, and wait for fungus trees.

so he was serious then about ending his turn?

[QUOTE=Kaizo45;35168503] I'm saving, and going to upload the save to somebody who can handle this better than me, or I can continue watching as the fortress goes totally batshit with tantrums. [/QUOTE] You have no sense of fun. I'll just let deviodere take his turn now then. Optionally deviodere can choose to take the previous save point and completely ignore Kaizo's turn, as he didn't fully finish his turn. Previous save: [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/DF2012_FPGame.7z[/url] Kaizo's save: [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?ijosw6d48sctezz[/url] And remember to fully check d_init for proper population counts (and whatever other settings) before you play.

Unfortunately my internet has gone to shit and I'm stuck here for a couple days, can't even download the save. Put it off to someone else for now, I might just have to miss my turn.

I updated the OP with that information, and pushed you back 1 turn. If you still can't play by the time zesty is done, i'll put you to the end of the list. PMed zestylemons as well so he knows to check this thread.

Alright, fuck, looks like I have to be the hero Dyewhipped deserves. One second while I fix up my dorf fortress folders. [editline]Edit:[/editline] Continuing off of the last save, Kaizo's [editline]Edit:[/editline] Fixed caps back 90 max / 20 cap on children Oh jesus everyone is throwing tantrums [editline]Edit:[/editline] This is a full-blown tantrum spiral, I can't stop it. I'm making coffins to bury those who will die it in. [img]http://i.imgur.com/6p92u.png[/img] Fuck me

Zesty... I believe.

Oh shit the forgotten beast is outside! Maybe he can- Oh wait, he got murdered instantly. [editline]Edit:[/editline] Here comes the human caravan, poor guys gonna get murdered. [editline]Edit:[/editline] Didn't even get off the edge of the map. Pop is down to 49. Body count rising. [editline]Edit:[/editline] Jesus titty loving christ, there's only 14 adults left, and the rest are all children. [editline]Edit:[/editline] Pop down to [del]23[/del] 19 ([del]4[/del] 3 adults), people are starting to calm down but I've run out of room for bodies right now.

[QUOTE=Orkel;35203939]Bury them in coffins before they start to rot, or else the dwarves will go even unhappier because of "enduring decay of a friend/lover/husband etc"[/QUOTE] I've been trying, but these last three dwarves don't want to do anything other than farm, the children throwing tantrums constantly doesn't help. [editline]Edit:[/editline] I finally lowered the bridge, everyone outside is (unsurprisingly) dead. But I should be able to put them in a coffinOHFUCK AN AMBUSH WHY [editline]Edit:[/editline] I think this is the end. All the adults are dead and the goblins are inside the fort. [editline]Edit:[/editline] Out of 'luck', the goblins got trapped in cages. The children are continuing to party at the well. With no one left to move bodies, the fortress is filling with miasma. [editline]Edit:[/editline] MIGRANTS HOLY SHIT Sweet lord, I can salvage this. 26 new guys came

[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;35204001]Sweet lord, I can salvage this.[/QUOTE] Smells like Dwarf Fortress!

Damn children and their parties

[img]http://i.imgur.com/o4cRq.png[/img] Sorry guys, but the fort was hit by kobolds. All but two dwarves were slaughtered before I could raise the bridge. This is probably the final moment of the fort :( [editline]Edit:[/editline] AFTER [B]BRUTALLY MURDERING[/B] EVERY LAST INVADER WITH HER BARE HANDS: The mayor has put herself in the hospital. All hope has been lost. The only thing that can save me now is another lucky migrant wave. You will not be forgotten, Ustuth Vathezdastot. [editline]Edit:[/editline] No fucking waaaaaay, a migrant wave!
