How has it been almost three years since I stared Torchfatal? I must rectify this:

Orubxah, The Everlasting Dimensions
(http://i.imgur.com/hDAXOHO.png)

Tried a whole bunch of different world paramiters to try and gen an interesting world. Turns out in this one Dwarfs and Kobolds are all but extinct, Elves committed mass genocide and killed everyone on the east island that wasn't an Elf or a Red Squirrel Man, and in the west the Human Noble minority rule over a Goblin exile populace clashed in a perpetual war with the Demon-lead Goblin civilizations. Luckily for us, the Dwarf civilization The Halls of Ash still have a few dwarfs wandering the world, and so it's still Fortress Mode compatible. The last of the old Dwarf strongholds fell to giant Roc's and it's populace hunted by The Midnight of Spiraling, will we fall to the same fate?

I'm not sure what my schedule for this will be as I have much less leisure time then I did a few years ago, but at least the world is genned so I can jump right in when I have the chance (hopefully within the next week). At least now adventure mode is fixed so after the fort I'll have better story to tell then last time.

Be sure to list tools, mods, and graphics packages used. 

And I want to be mayor.

I'd also like to not be the arch vampire that took down the civilization this time. Oh and I'd like to be a dude.

I usually play vanilla, but people did like the graphics pack I used last time... The problem is since I'm playing 42.04 I'm not sure they've been updated yet. I used LegendsViewer-1.14.02 to generate the stats and poke around for interesting information.

I'll try to set you up as the expedition leader.Didn't you give birth last time? Did you not enjoy the wonders of motherhood?

I just ask that Rasix die first to some wildlife.  Make a 2nd amendment hunter mayor  :why_so_serious:

"The Enjoyable Confederation of Jumping" is pretty much the best name for a nation ever.

Dwarf Fortress: Orubxah

Chapter 1: New Beginnings

And so begins my legendary career as a planter.   :why_so_serious:

Could be worst.  Could end up as the 'Lye hauler for the Soap workshop dwarf' like I'm sure I'll end up.   :awesome_for_real:

Nothing beats pump operator, bucket duty, or designated lever puller.  Of course, pump operator can have a short lifespan depending on the degree of engineering fail.  Lever puller can lead an interesting life he he neglects to hit the lever in time.  :awesome_for_real:

When you play the Game of Ian, you either win or you die. You die a filthy, dwarfish death.

... wait, can you even win at this game?

(http://i.imgur.com/5idbP13.png)

I'm a miner with Samwise and Sky? No wonder you're not finding anything. Sky only knows how to chop wood, I count it, and Samwise makes glib remarks.

Miller.  Heh.  Hopefully that leads me up to eventually brewing someday.   :awesome_for_real:


Also, Samewise:

Honestly, who makes a Rock Salt door?

Woo, militia commander!  I get to personally put the axe in Rasix's face when his petty tyranny has to end  :awesome_for_real:

Usually mayors just retire to a quiet life of bookkeeping and trading. A don't see a coup in your future.

Although perhaps I will surprise.  Maybe one of the captains is in line for a promotion...

I would like to die heroically, please.

Preferably to The Lauded Seductions. They sound nice.

I'm just waiting for you to go into a strange mood and demand turtle bones, inevitably go mad and then on a rampage.  Then I can run around drunk and naked screaming I AM THE LAW as you beat me to death with your fists because i was probably never trained to use weapons.  It'll be good times.

I'm less memorable than Fargull and MediumHigh. I'mma go cry now.

 :cry:

'Hutch' Ashmonsolong has created a masterpiece *kung fu dwarf*!

Personally I'm hoping to extend my lifespan in this one to at least a whole 5 seconds.  :grin:

Whoo Boy am I looking forward to a hospital visit with Merusk in charge.  I am sure any bone setting will be painless.  Hope the booze is fully stocked!

What's this Bone Setting voodoo, are you some kind of elf?

Cut? Pour Beer on it.
Crushed? Soak it in Beer.
Headache? Drink more Beer.
Unconscious? Wave Beer under nose.
Still Unconscious? Wave a bit of gold with Beer under nose.
Broken limb? Drown it, can't mine more gold or grow hops for beer.

I can be dwarf?  :grin:

I'm disappointed Rasix survived his tenure as leader instead of dying heroically fighting off a savage bass.

(http://i.imgur.com/cTTw3bo.png)

Hahaha, all you fuckers died.   :why_so_serious:

Course we did.  Nobody poured beer on Nerfs foot.

This is what happens when you don't clean the mold out of the fortress.

On one hand, I'm sad that Rasix lived through that.  On the other, lulz, dwarf fortress.

My revenge for obvious voter fraud.

Apes no problem, a damn Dyer though, fuck that shit.

In the immortal words of Sid James ;  "What a carve up."

This place isn't a fortress, it's an abattoir.

My second greatest wish for 2016 is to be a dwarf. Just saying. :X

(http://i.imgur.com/822H3xm.png)

How did I survive that titan attack as the tavern keeper?  :-o

Awww, I guess I died namelessly in the great goblin slaughter.

A giant venomous magpie with no eye-lids landed in the middle of our tavern and kicked Triforcers head off his shoulders across the room, forcing a goblin to jump out of its way.


 :awesome_for_real:

My career as a dwarven spinner also appears to have ended to the gobbo hordes.

I think you should take down that "Everybody Welcome" sign over the tavern...

And holy crap I'm an architect! And I've survived the giant bird in the bar *and* the goblin invasion!

I must have designed a panic room all for myself...

Looks like I died, defending the fortress to the last as the captain of the guard.

Hopefully I at least killed something first.

Holy shit Kail that is amazing <3 Cheers is incredible, and that picture has had me grinning like a dumb-ass all day.Win is a strong word... Losing with style.I think you were on break  :why_so_serious:Found your log :3.Unfortunately yours has rolled over :(. I'm sorry I missed yours! Next time I'll try and post as many as I can.Nonsense! Then people can't see the huge magpie skeleton!  :drill: :drill: :drill:

Killed by a Fire Imp. Like my first tanking foray into Molten Core. Fitting.

This Goblin Fortress playthrough is going really well.  :why_so_serious:

Yeah, you and me both. Glorious days... Thanks for that flashback Pagz.

I feel I have to hand back my geek creds ;  so much playing of Gnomoria means most of these screenshots make no sense to me.  I can't see the redhead anymore, I just see the Matrix.

Wait a tick.. the giant humanoid snow beast is swimming around in the Magma?

I expected he would have coded something about snow melting in magma and the beastie would have died.

Goblin fortress HOOOOOOOOO!

Sigh, looks like dwarf fortress wins again. I've uploaded it into the bug tracker, but it looks like this playthrough is at an end. I knew I should have retired the fort yesterday! I'll try some fiddling over the course of the week, but I'm not too hopeful. It looks like it's a save corruption bug that occurs with compressed saves, so in the future I'll now know to a) use uncompressed saves and b) create multiple backups  :oh_i_see:.

I'm torn (and burn-out frustration) as to what to do next, so I'll put it up to a vote to what people would like to see most:

A: Another fort in the same style as I already do, but in a more !!Fun!! location (and with a graphical tileset so people can see wtf is going on).
B: An educational "how to dwarf fortress" playthrough, to show new players how to set up a functional fort (no tileset and will be longer between updates)
C: Adventure mode shenanigans
D: An f13 succession fort, will need people to start taking numbers  :drill: complete newbies welcome, as they generate the most !!Fun!!.

D, B, A, C in that order. I'd participate in a succession fort.

You need to do an armed militia take over of a local wildlife refuge.  All hunters. No food.  Limited craft skills.  :awesome_for_real:

I'd like to see 'B', to be honest.  Followed by C, D abd A.

A and C for me. I like my tilesets.

And could we just start off with goblins this time?

 :awesome_for_real:

D for me!  I'd love to participate in a succession fort.

I keep reading Wereape as "We Rape" and thinking of Politics.

The Enjoyable Confederation of Jumping seems like a pretty good thing to a part of, in any event.

I like B.

Looks like my creations are as bad as my posts. I made a rock salt grate, and then was mercilessly slaughtered by goblins. Still, I'd be honored to be in the next one!

A quick update, we'll do a succession fort with my first year also being a "how to set up your dwarf fortress" so people who are new can read that and know what's going on when it's their turn hehe. This'll take me awhile to set up (I'm very picky with world gen, trying to get as much variety as possible) so will probably be up sometime next week. I'll make a new thread for it, post here for your "turn" in the succession (one year per player). I'll also post helpful links and make the OP new player friendly, if you've never played dwarf fortress but always wanted to try, the F13 succession is just for you! Oh and don't mind if you're worried you're too newb and will kill everyone in the fort unintentionally, that's all part of the !!Fun!!  :drill: :drill: :drill:
