Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
I've had a brewing job constantly running for my year. I'd guess that it was interrupted by a zombie at some point and I forgot to reactivate it. Or they were drinking it before it was stockpiled.
Next player should maybe set up a second brewery, up our production.

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
i could do a year I've been meaning to play for a while and this is a good excuse - though updates would be slow since i can only play for an hour or so a day except on weekends due to school and having to share this computer

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
Shouldn't be a problem, I can't see a round taking more than seven hours.

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
Mine took almost ten hours (EDIT: Most of my first log was written while I looked around with the game paused and took stock of the situation, so really it was closer to nine) but then again my computer, if it were a person, would be a triple amputee. I was getting around 20 FPS, and that's after turning off weather and temperature and shutting down every program I wasn't using.
You don't necessarily have to complete your year, just finish as much as you can.Last edited by Shpadoinkle; 2012-09-25 at 10:14 PM.

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
By the way did you flip temperature back on, or is that independent of save?

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
That's independent of the save.
Anyway, since Zargodia is the only player available who hasn't had a year yet, he's up.

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
Farms are under the ice. Should be F2 to zoom to them I think.
Claspedchurches: This is a mudstone dwarven fortress. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with bauxite, studded with ice, decorated with gold, and adorned with hanging rings of magma. This fortress menaces with spikes of steel, iron, bronze, and silver. On the fortress is an image of an image of cheese in pitchblende.
On the fortress is an image of a megaweapon in gold, silver, jet, obsidian and adamantine. The goblins are burning.

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
Those bridges near the main hall are for luring zombies up from the caverns, then smashing them.

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
Gnoman is it okay if i recruit you? because you have the best combat stats
next update!
Spoilerjournal of Zargodia overseer of domianstaves 12th of moonstone
after being told where the farms are and what the bridges do ive strted
on building the training hall and redoing our military because currently
it sucks
i also commissioned a mighty sword to be made for me to combat the undead
Ive decided to ignore the caravan because several undead are right outside
Spoiler
Ive kicked everyone out of the squad except me so i can pick a fresh batch
of recruits
a fishery worker is acting strange lets see what happens
Spoiler
meanwhile my sword is finished so now the squad as is has weapons
the fishery worker has taken over a craft shop but has a foot ingury so this
might take awhile
Spoiler
the new training hall is still hasn't been dug out "sigh"
WITH SO MANY MINERS YOU THINK DIGGING WOULD GO FASTER!!!!!!
the merchant seem to be fighting the undead now but not doing too well
the military has now started training here are the great champions of domainstaves!
Spoiler
these are the best fighters this fort has to offer... ill probably recruit a few more from the common rabble a bit later
wow the mace dwarf that is with the merchants is kicking undead ass
Spoiler
never mind shes dead
well thats my first journal and I hate this place already
ya the caravan is dead now so i guess that's just more stuff forwhenif we retake the surfaceLast edited by Zargodia; 2012-09-28 at 10:57 PM.

The series of levers on the left wall of the main hall control the front's bridges.

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol

edit:so if somthing dies i just need to dump it and it will be sent to the caverns right?Last edited by Zargodia; 2012-09-29 at 12:05 AM.

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
Yeah, though if you get an interrupt message pull the bottommost left-side lever twice. If the dwarves get scared by the cave zombies, that'll dump the bridge contents.
Alternatively, put the corpse under a bridge and smash it. Personally I think that's a bit of an exploit, but many would recommend it.

so it should be fine for now

to the populated part

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
Fun is to be expected.
Anyway, what do you say, guys? Roll back to the end of my turn or let it go?

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
Well, it's dead. Rollback is in order, unless we want to be sporting and start from scratch?
EDIT: By the way, have you guys seen the development post with trees? They're becoming multitile things. With fruit!

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
Fruit trees are indeed exciting.
I say we start a new fort, preferable one where our livestock won't rise up to strangle the life from us. Near a goblin fort or necromancer tower is fine though.

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
Yeah, seconded. Invading stealth neromancers and undead armies should provide a lot of challenge, without the messiness of a constant zombie plague.

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
Besides, we lost. Can't go resurrecting forts, otherwise it never ends. Besides, having a succession world sounds interesting.

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
Hmm... Well, if Zargodia would upload his save from after the fort has fallen we can use that world again and see if there's a suitable non-haunted area near a necromancer's tower.

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
Eh, I've found towers to be more fun. With partial evil biomes, you end up just building everything outside of it and avoiding the nastiness. A lot of evil biomes end up without undead too. The towers provide a good threat level without being a constant annoyance.

Re: GitP Dwarf Fortress Succession Game 4: Dwarves on Patrol
Okay. I'll look around and see if I can locate some less hostile (but hopefully still Fun-filled) spots.
