GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol

[Grim Portent]

Well, I have now determined that dropping migrants down a chute to kill them without needing to engrave slabs (how I hate slabs) works fine. It's very coffin intensive, but it maintains a good population balance.

In other news I'm going to muck about with the RAWS a bit, maybe make a few new domestic animals or sentient races. Tempted to make a shearable creature that doesn't need to graze to provide a better source of thread for forts.

And I still need to learn how to power pumps properly.

I discovered a rather odd thing about the chute though. Dropping dwarfs 10 z levels onto spear traps with a full 10 adamantine spears has a surprisingly low lethality rate, it only kills about 1/3 dwarfs, most of the rest die of their broken bones and other wounds after a week or two, but a few linger on, with few or no injuries.

[Aidan305]

I just felt this need to share this absoloutely amazing embark that someone managed to roll up. It's a thing of true beauty.

[Wookieetank]

Anyone still alive and/or around?

[iyaerP]

Can't speak for anyone else, but I at least, am waiting for the next big update before I resume dorfing.

[iyaerP]

So my previous post lied. That embark location that Aidan305 posted called to me with siren song and terrible temptations.

So I downloaded the aforementioned world and embarked upon there to build a canyonfort for great justice. However, something I wasn't expecting was for the site to be within siegeing distance of a necromancer tower. "Now wait a second iyaerP," you may be wondering. "You are the invincible overlord of doom who for three full threads now has successfully embarked where no one else could, built pointless mega-projects and mega-weapons in the course of a single year, and generally bowed your head to no foe or obstacle that dwarf-kind ever faced." And you would be right in thinking this, for although I may have been besieged by 80 zombies and a pair of necromancers before the second year was even done, and had my pants caught down with a paltry military of 4 marksdwarves and 2 melee dwarves, and no significant fortifications of note, the outpost of Mistytowers remains unconquered!

Now, I'm not going to pretend that it was easy, but with clever use of a controlled cave-in, I was able to drop the necromancers into a 20 story pit, and once they were no longer around, cleaning up the surface became much less of a headache, as with the necromancers dead, there was nothing getting the zombies back up time and time again. Despite my low military count, I had a secret weapon that I was able to unleash upon the unsuspecting undead. Twenty eight war dogs, bred from my starting pack, accompanied my paltry militia in our assault to retake the surface, and while each dog may not have done much individually to kill any zombies, every single one of them did a good job slowing them down for my hammerlord and his speardwarf apprentice to finish off, while my marksdwarves flailed about ineffectually with their crossbows in melee, despite having full quivers.

This being dwarf fortress, things of course couldn't be that easy, and a quadruple goblin squad ambush occurred before I had done much more than clear the front gates of zombies. With the goblins coming in, and me pushing out, the zombies were pretty much obliterated in short order. Knowing that even with my massive pack of war dogs, I couldn't engage in an open field fight against the superior goblin numbers, I ordered my dwarves to pull back inside the gates to let the choke point maximize the advantage of steel and superior training, while minimizing their numerical one. It was a bloody battle, but my dwarves proved their worth, slaughtering the goblins for the loss of only 3 of our own, and a number of the brave war dogs.

Mistytowers is safer now, the waves of migrants that never arrived due to the sieges having come en masse now, and the ranks of the militia and the workers have both swollen. Hammerlord Tobul Alaththiz is legendary now, and his soldiers are all at least competent. The lower bridge across the canyon is now complete, as are the defensive fortifications, and the siege artillery emplacements. A recent double siege of zombie horde followed up by massed goblins was cut down ruthlessly with the only casualties being two recruits who had not yet had the chance to be fully trained in the ways of war. During this second siege, we even managed to capture a human necromancer. Plans to incorporate his undead raising abilities into our defensive measures are underway even now.

The fortress of Mistytowers has been tested, and so far, it is undaunted.

[Sohala]

Plans to incorporate his undead raising abilities into our defensive measures are underway even now.

I beg you, details!

[Grim Portent]

I've decided I'm going to start up a new succession fort. Anyone who wants a dorf just needs to ask, turns will either be first come first served, done in order or rolled for from applicants. I haven't decided yet.

I've genned a world, will look for a nice riverside spot to dig a fort.

There are several changes in my game. I'm using Deeper Dwarven Domestication, a few custom races exist, some custom animals, giant centipedes from Bay12 and I've shaken up what kind of animals we start with by removing the [COMMON_DOMESTIC] tag from everything. We have whatever pets live near the civ we belong to.

[iyaerP]

I beg you, details!

Big image warning.

I basically am going to use fortifications and bridges to block/unblock LOS of the necromancer so that he will reanimate whatever the marksdwarves and balilsta have already killed. Close bridges to block his vision to stop perma-rezzing, and let my marksdwarves and the zombies finish off invaders. Then, my guys finish off whatever zombies are left.

[Grim Portent]

I've started a fort on a cave site and played through the first three months, I'll do some more tomorrow.

1st Granite: Well, we reached the new colony site. It's not a patch on the Mountainhomes but it will do. I've given orders for some farms to be dug out. We'll need to get some stone from that cave over there, train up some war beasts to help with defense, dig out a barracks so I have somewhere to practice my axe skills and sort out that pile of metal and coal we brought. It's going to be a long hard job doing all that digging, glad I'm not a miner.

18th Granite: Well the miners finally got out farms and food stockpile dug out, took them long enough. I've ordered our farms to be sown with seeds. Out food won't last for long if we don't start growing some.

22nd Granite: The miners have been hard at work tunneling into the cave walls, won't be long till we can set up some rooms in there. The mason and smith have set up some furnaces to start smelting all that ore we brought with us. He says he'll have me clad in a suit of full bronze armour in no time.

10th Slate: The miners have started digging out a proper space for an office, a dormitory and a barracks. About bloody time.

12th Slate: The office has been finished, I've told our little plowhand to stop planting things and sort out our stocks. He'll have to do until we get a proper Bookkeeper to sort things out.

16th Slate: The dormitory is nearly done. Good thing too, I'm getting a crick in my neck from sleeping in the grass like some kind of elf.

25th Slate: One of the miners says they say a troll come out of the cave and get savaged by a wild mole dog, I'll believe that when I see it.

27th Slate: Well I'll be a goblins uncle, a troll covered in mole dog bites wandered into our camp today. It was promptly brought down by our trained crundles. I owe that miner a drink.

4 Felsite: With the completion of our barracks I've taken to training. Can't let myself get rusty after all, I'm our only soldier. The dormitory was completed a few days ago, it's good to have a place to sleep without getting grit in your beard.

1st Hematite: Little has occurred since my last entry. We are establishing a dining room, and have begun smelting ores properly. I sent a miner deeper into the cave to scout and he found a caverns. A proper honest to Armok cavern, and he even saw some gold down there. If things keep going this well I may start to like this place.

If anyone's interested in the fort I'll post up some screenshots with my next update.

Sorry I took so long to get this done, I've been having laptop problems, which sadly lost me my notes on the last part of the year but I can remember what happened well enough regardless, although the dates elude me.

23rd Malachite - A group of migrants has arrived to join us in our efforts, by and large they are only somewhat useful. They did bring us a giant centipede however.

7th Sandstone - How odd it seems to be writing entries so far apart, this is truly a dull place. Several new dwarfs arrived to join us today, I ordered five of them to train under me as Axedwarfs.

16th Timber - A caravan has arrived from the mountainhome! It is fortunate I had our smith forge several silver goblets to trade.

24th Timber - A giant olm rose from the deeps to savage two of our citizens. They were hauling gold ore from the caverns at the time, my squad and I were barely in time to rescue a third dwarf from its maw.

We have purchased a number of essentials from the traders, booze, cloth, some seeds, a little gypsum and some leather.

It would seem that as my year draws to a close things begin to grow interesting here. One of my students slew a kobold thief and we have been suffering a swarm of crundles from the caverns. I wish the next overseer luck in leading us to prosperity.

EDIT: I found the year to be really dull. A few cavern creatures frightened a few dwarfs before getting cut apart by the militia but nothing noteworthy happened until the last few months.

[Wookieetank]

Unless someone else wants it and lays claim in the next 5-6 hours (approximate time to me getting home from work), DIBS!

[iyaerP]

Having everything on the surface like that is an open invitation to attack.

[Luzahn]

Ooh hey, people came back. Excellent.

Also surface forts are pretty fun for that exact reason. Though digging a moat is always good.

[Grim Portent]

As is I wasn't too concerned about defence, we have 6 militia dwarfs with bronze axes and leather armour, enough armour and axes for 4 more dwarfs and it's the first year so no major threats. I did start building a perimeter wall though, and began leveling the cave entrance so it would be easier to keep tabs on what goes in and out.

I didn't dig into the ground because I think I embarked on an aquifer, though I'm not sure, so the cave seemed the best place to access the underground, and it was right next to the wagon.

[Wookieetank]

Good news everybody! The save is up and running.

Bad news: I'm in charge!

I solemnly swear to be up to no good

2nd of Granite, 1052: After some shennanigans involving "time travel" and "dimensional teleporting" thanks to investigations into SCIENCE! I not only find myself in a strange new land far from the coast, but in charge of a group of strange creatures resembling, but not exactly like dwarves. Looking around at things, its seems the previous overseer started on a wall, which is nice, but left this nice hill full of ramps available for climbing in the middle of the wall. This oversight is being corrected as I write this.

9th of Granite, 1052: I found several dwarvf things lollygagging about today. They're now in charge of the fort beutification commitee, whose first task is to smooth all exposed rock surfaces. It would seem that we have an infestation of Crundles who like to spend their hobby time distraction workers on wall building detail. I've set the militia the task of exterminating these pests.

26th of Granite, 1052: With the completion of our hill being shortened, I've ordered the diggers to start working on a moat for us, around what will be our main entrance.

2nd of Felsite, 1052: Migrants of the almost dwarves arrived today, pushing our number to 29.

[iyaerP]

cage traps to capture the crundles so we can start taming them and make crundle egg omlettes!

[Grim Portent]

It just so happens we already have crundles. When I realised that changing the raws so that civs only have native animals available meant dwarfs had few egg layers I modded crundles to appear on the first cavern layer, be war trainable and have a child age.

The upshot of this is embarking with crundles, the downside is more crundle swarms from the caverns.

[Wookieetank]

Apparently we not only have crundles, but war crundles even!

3rd of Hematite, 1052: Summer has arrived and with it merchants. Granted they look an awfully lot like the pointy eared tree hugging monstrosities from back home, but maybe these might just be different critters.

5th of Hematite, 1052: It would seem our previous overseer was correct in his assumptions about us being near an aquifer, as we have struck damp stone while working on the moat. Contemplations on weaponizing the aquifer as an upgrade to our moat.

27th of Hematite, 1052: A honey badger has "graced" us with its presence today. The smite squad has been put on mission to despense some indiscriminate justice.

16th of Malachite, 1052: Seems we need a therapist, or stronger alcohol. One cog Libadbesmar has grown romantically attached to a bronze battle axe. I am greatly disturbed, to be attracted to an item of such low quailty material was unheard of in the coastal regions. Dwarves these days *shakes head*

21st of Malachite, 1052: Visible progress has finally been made on our walls, bout time. Back in my homelands we built a fort floating on the ocean in a season I tell you, and spring at that!

25th of Malachite, 1052: Excellent, it would seem tales of my previous disasters as leader have yet to reach these lands, for more migrants have arrived to fill out our ranks today. With a force of 40 strong now, the world is our axe to swing.

18th of Galena, 1052: A Hume caravan arrived today, wonder if they have anything useful.

22nd of Galena, 1052: Today I discovered a distinct lack of a mechanic shop as I attempted to set up a lever for our newly constructed bridge. I'm baffled by the priorites of these almost dwarves, as a proper dwarf I'm doing what I can to set these backwards creatures straight.

26th of Galena, 1052: One of our woodburners was overcome by a fey mood today. Seems even in this strange new land, some things never change.

4th of Sandstone, 1052: Today word has reached me of yet another dwarf being drawn to a weapon of shoddy material. Grim Aranolon has grown attached to his bronze battle axe as well. Or is it cog Libadbesmar's battle axe? Don't tell me, some questions are better left unanswered (and unasked now that I take a moment to think) *shudder*

28th of Sandstone, 1052: I shall have to congradulate our PR staff on a job well done, for today more migrants have migrated to our mighty fortress, bringing us to a grand total of 52 dwarves.

9th of Timber, 1052: A Wereelephant of terrible form thirsting for blood and flesh arrived in our lands today. Lacking any sort of finished defenses at this point, I rally the militia and send them off to our salvation, and with any luck not their doom.

24th of Timber, 1052: After digging through a mountain of reports it seems our resident Wereelephant only took one of our number before dying from blood loss through an artery wound. Well done axedwarves.

There's a reason I always bring a military dorf on embark these days.

I think I will tinker with it a little bit.

Save is working.

Is there a lever, and where is it?

Its southwest of the bridge by itself. With how "well" the dwarves were constructing the wall and moat I figured I leave making a guard house or whatever to the next person.

2nd Granite
Well... I lost a bet and now am in charge of this sorry excuse for a hole. I don't think you will believe when I tell you this, but the previous 'leaders' decided it was a good idea to build a base above ground. Didn't they know what is above ground? There is the sun, rain, and pointy ears. Now just because I like some of the breeding stock and meat the pointy ears bring, it doesn't mean I want to live like one!

3rd Granite
I was given a tour of our 'base'. I don't know how we have made it this long, our WAGON is still built for crying out loud and who is the genius that turned none of this gold into bars, how am I suppose to talk crazy dwarves into making me a nice gold hammer if there are no bars? Anyways, there seems to be some work on something that looks like a giant latrine. I have been informed it is a wall and moot, but dang that breeze feels nice. Space seems to be at a premium with everyone crammed in a couple rooms or standing... outside. Why are there coffins next to nest boxes... is there a breeding secret no one told me about?

4th Granite
Some durn fool tried to offer me a bucket of water today (Don't you people know dwarves drown in water?), when I plainly asked for him to get me a beer. He sputter out something about us being out of drink. This problem will need to be fixed quickly.

5th Granite
WHAT?! We don't even have any barrels?

6th Granite
My third day of sobriety... I don't think I can take much more of this.

2nd Felsite
A farmer has died in the caverns! (But really, I don't understand why he couldn't go up the ramps, I started replacing them with stairs, but was unable to do the last set before him. I dug out around the ramp and they could get down there, but he was dead by the time I figured this out)

14th Felsite
Barrel and pot production finally passed food storage requirement, beer flows again thru the halls, and not a moment too soon. Tantrums were starting to pop up.

17th Felsite
A kobold thief thought it a good idea to sneak up on one of our hunters, his corpse is now baking under the sun.

On a less entertaining note... pointy ears have arrived to trade. They didn't like our bonecrafts.

Oh dear, an ambush! I guess we wont be trading after all.

14th Moonstone
...The bone carver couldn't find any 'cloth...thread' that he liked and went insane, he was put down quickly.

We got a legendary woodcrafter!

27th Opal
I have decided to fill the giant ditch with water.

Of course, now everyone wants to grab items from the ditch and we have a drowning/tantrum fest...

The dead start to outnumber our coffins and dwarves start refusing to build or even move corpses, making it even worse with miasma. The ambush at the end was just the final nail in the coffin...)

1st Granite
I was assigned to guard a settlement expedition, I think I would have rather been killed on the spot, but here I am still alive and freezing my beard off. I thought the leader was off her rocker, well I guess still do, for heading out into these frozen wastes, but she knew her stuff and led us strait to our current location: the rim of a volcano. She blathered on in a big speech about the blood of the world or something, meanwhile I setup pickets and got the others to starting camp.

7th Granite
The land is mainly made of dacite, but lads have hit microline and brimstone so far. I think I see a bit of dirt sticking off the side, will see if I can get the crew to it for some crops. The hunt for magma safe stone is still on going. Meanwhile our leader is kneeling before the rim; it is tempting to give her that last nudge.

14th Granite
I spotted some reindeer, along with a decent sized silver vein (there are several) on my most recent patrol. The hammer corp should be easy to equip then.

1st Hematite
So the snow does melt around here, good to know, sadly we killed off our livestock before knowing this. On the plus side we have meat now.

8th Malachite
Migrants... a blessing and curse.

6th Galena
We have struck silver within the mountain (so much silver).

15th Galena
Success, obsidian!

20th Limestone
Finally got a hammer made of that silver we found. Now I just need some armor.

19th Timber
Our brethren have come to trade, our trade stock is meager though.

Our weapon smith decided to go on break as they arrived, and then once he was done with his break the broker decided to go to break as well. I managed to get us a bar of bronze and some gloves before they left.

So ends our first year on this living mountain.

The top just has a 3x3 entrance. It needs fortifications and ramp removal.

Second floor: Presently just a storage room. Trading post on the right, undefended. Had thoughts of a microline structure here, leading thru a 3 passage to the top.

Third floor: Mainly just housing, has the barracks and manager office here.

Fourth floor: Started meeting area here, with a stone stock pile and an everything stock pile. The everything stock pile is having the food moved closer to the food production area.

Fifth floor: Mainly just tossed the workshops here to get them going, better layout+stockpiles suggested. Silver bars and silver war hammers are on repeat production, rotate weapons on military dwarves as better ones are produced.

Fifth floor: Catacombs. Stone needs smoothing and then coffins added. I didn't have the laborers required to complete that part.


Beer production is rather slow.
People are tied up with moving stuff.
Military dwarves have barely any armor.
Microline, brimstone and obsidian are disabled from non-eco use.

Save to follow.
