They're probably injured Dwarves not being given water. Make more buckets.
Also I agree with Monda. If they go into the depot, pull the lever and send them to their deaths! If any merchants fall too, hey, free :bou::bou::bou::bou:.
You must have started in a good area rather than an evil area (or anything inbetween).Quote:

Okay. My turn is over! Here's a run-down on what happened for the last season...
1. Immediately after the death of DK, Leeza went into a mood and came out with this sucker...
(SPOILER)
2. Everyone else was hard at work as they engraved the floors and walls of DK's tomb, adorned it with statues, and laid many an item of clothing around his grave.
(SPOILER)
This is what it looked like at the time I was forced to turn my attentions elsewhere...
(SPOILER)
3. Oh, and a massive furniture storage room has been set up. Here's Zeldy, Manus, Shiny, Serapy, Bunny and myself all working hard to get it ready ASAP.
(SPOILER)
4. Another heavy ambush, and yeah, I found out that Iceglow needs to be on the first floor, so by the time I got them there they could only fire shots down at the passing goblins. They got one or two, though!
(SPOILER)
They entered the barracks once again, only this time there weren't any team leaders around - Booga and War Angel were woken by bolts to their chests, and although they still put up a fight, it was actually Rye that held out the longest, fighting here in the lower right of the image.
(SPOILER)
Eventually, after defeating one of the warriors, a second goblin aided his sinister friend to defeat Rye. The soldiers at this point swarmed through and destroyed the goblin threat. Mourning would continue for some time now...
5. But this game would not even allow dwarves to grieve. Miasma was pouring throughout the building from all the death, somehow going down the stairs as well as up them. It got everywhere... mostly in the bedrooms and the entrances to them (including the barracks).
(SPOILER)
(SPOILER)
6. All seemed well, at least, according to the announcements. For some time after this, all I got were messages about experience gains. Then, suddenly, I get a ...death report. Thirst!? Well, as you can tell by previous recent posts, it turns out some were injured during battle and water could not reach them fast enough. We have many buckets being produced now...
(SPOILER)
I began with 47, I finished with 55. I even peaked at a personal record. The only thing I can say for certain is that I'm not the guy to lead this crew forward. I send a message to the King at the break of Spring, and he allows me to pass on the role to someone else. I look forward to mining again... one thing I'm good at!
Advice to future rulers:
Lock the doors.
You can lock doors!? Oh, for the love of... see, this is why you shouldn't egg someone who has only played it for a few days into doing this!
No, this is precisely why we should.
xD
You have done a tremendous job.
I survived the rule of Loony BoB. I did not expect this.
G'job, fatty!
This has been intensely interesting! I loved everyone's overviews and watching the progress of Towntwinkles! I do not know why, but I expected Towns to run everything to hell and back, but man, seems he knows what he is doing!
I cannot play this game, no matter how hard I try; Clarissa grasps it with ease and would love this thread to death upon seeing it! Perhaps I should ask her to join and even participate!
2 things:
I can't play unless they added multi-threading for dual core processors.
Further, my laptop I doubt can handle it all without everything going to a crawl.
Secondly, WHY DID MY LOVER HAVE TO DIE!!!!!! DK! I WILL ALWAYS MOURN YOU!
The messenger read aloud from the heavy stone tablet he had carried across half the realm to bring to the fortified fortress of Towntwinkles it's runic message etched by the hand of The King himself, "It is with great sadness I write to you kin of Towntwinkles, the rule of Loony BoB is over his incompetence in commanding the armies of Towntwinkles against ambushes and attacks by the conniving Goblins of my realm means I have no other choice. Towntwinkles must be ruled by military acumen and might. I have spent a long time looking through the records of the military in Towntwinkles, my initial choice it seems would have been DK the great champion, however with the recent events taken in to account and little else to choose from other than psychos and weirdos I have decided that it shall fall upon the elite champion marksdwarf Iceglow to reverse the misfortunes that have befallen the fortress of late. All hail the new regeant, Iceglow Ushatoltar lord of Towntwinkles."
Iceglow's crossbow banged with a hollow thud against the door of the grand meeting hall made by Psychotic as all eyes in the room turned on him. Some of the dwarves bore testament to the many fights that had besieged his people of late. He refused to be parted from his crossbow, Miriel his love often despaired of the fact that he refused to put it down but like he always said "You never know with the blithering idiots who have led us will not let us know that there is imminent danger." Now it seemed the blithering idiot would be him...he tugged his beard nearly ripping it off as he tried to make himself look as much a piece of the door as possible. Shlup moved first walking up and slapping him so hard on the shoulder he got propelled across the room in to the regeants throne. "Well done, now get on with it!" she said grinning broadly, Iceglow could have shot her for that he thought. "I...I cannot lead, I'm just a marksdwarf! Anyhow I don't want to be one of those blithering idiots who rules this place for the King, tell him I couldn't care less, tell him to come do it himself! I don't need to be holding Celes' hand every time she needs to go toilet I don't even like Celes Rithbavast and most of you are merely passing acquaintances I wouldn't so much as give time of day to except to go drinking with you. I...Aww shucks lets get on with it!"
And so a new era in the history of Towntwinkles begins, Iceglow is in control lets try not to kill you all.
BoB, don't forget to update the map archive. Let us know if you need help with that.
Ok, so I didn't have much time today but lets see...(images in spoiler tags once more because BoB will cry otherwise!)
Spring update
Day one:
Firstly: I think the people of Towntwinkles who merely know me by reputation of being one very fair shot need to know more about their new leader.
(SPOILER)
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d.../iceglowis.jpg
As you can see, I am a legendary shot with the crossbow, I'm just not that confident of my skills I keep having nightmares of overwhelming odds of Goblins storming my gatehouse and getting up the stairs and cutting me and my squad down, it's for this reason I will be increasing my squad size to 5 dwarves as soon as possible I will also be considering the expansion of our defences and the building of a sister tower to the one I currently hold. I've dabbled in the skill of wrestling perhaps I will learn some more skills from my friend Shlupquack. I'm also a very smooth talker as we can see, it's no wonder that the next thing I will reveal is the way it is...
(SPOILER)
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...ersonality.png
I've the good fortune to be courting the delectably edible Miriel oh how her downy cheeks and ample bosom make me feel so happy I could see a goblin right now and I wouldn't care less. I'm friendly so just don't be expecting Necro's weird trap to be used again. I figure it's time to try and turn this fortress around I don't care much for authority and organisation but well, I am rather fond of living and therefore I feel that my ability to do so will be greatly enhanced if I can improve our defences.
I'm generally quite friendly I'm not a keeper of many secrets so I'm happy to show you all what I think of you:
(SPOILER)
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-57-30-46.jpg
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-57-39-75.jpg
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-57-46-15.jpg
As you can see I dislike Celes and Rye, those two blundering fools need to keep clear of me when I am on important business. Celes' lack of modesty about her work perturbs me I feel that it makes her an arrogant sort of dwarf someone I'd like to leave locked out of the gates when the enemy come to call. Rye on the other hand, well does anyone like this dwarf? Psychotic has already chronicled her peculiar smell and aggravating voice but more so than this her constant jittering behaviour is starting to work against her she's always jumping at shadows, the amount of times she's pulled a weapon on another friendly dwarf since her joining the guards I cant begin to count I promised her last time if she done it once more to me I would lock her away.
Now thats about all I have to say for me because the rest of the things I feel you should see not hear. Onwards to the meat of it, I rightfully described BoB's reign as one of a "blithering idiot" and I wasn't wrong. Recently he complained about how the enemy were still gaining entry to the fortress before he knew it and how there was a rising misama all around the fortress from the dead. I have two pict slates which will show just why he was such a blithering idiot in command...
(SPOILER)
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-59-39-76.jpg
Will ya look at that, not only did he not lock the damn doors he left them in enemy hands, how can I stop every damn invasion before it gets inside if I can't retake the gates this is a number one priority, until I've gotten the gates back I am going to do nothing else. I only hope that theres not too many of the runts around otherwise we may fall in some trouble, our millitary is small though it is very proffessional.
(SPOILER)
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-59-46-96.jpg
This shows why we had miasama everywhere, BoB had forbidden any to leave the fortress not even soldiers were allowed outside and at the same point in time he didn't bother to construct an internal refuse pile to seal away the corpses of the dead enemies around the fort in so when they rotted to bones ofcourse their evil gases leaked everywhere.
So this is my plan for my year so far:
- Increase size and strength of the military and it's equipment as and when possible. Even Shlup will wear armour once I speak to her with all the charm I can muster. That or she'll wear it for fear of a crossbow bolt in her buttocks from four score paces away.
- Improve the defences of the fortress with a new expansion in the form of a defensible corridor linking the trade depot to the rest of the fortress gatehouse, giving the trade depot a new defensive tower and it's own marksdwarf squad.
- Futhermore, to Psychotic's pointing out that the strawberry fields are vunerable to archer fire, the construction of a low wall before the moat perhaps even sealing part of the moat to ensure safe area to gather water and fish.
- Just to be sure the Blithering idiot did not happen to be right about the entry of enemies through our trap depot I will seal that off with a wall to keep out enemies.
All around, if I secure this plan of action and get it all in order we should see Towntwinkles begin to prosper for a while at least though I must admit as soon as I've got this going on the right direction I'm done and going back to my life of being nothing but the best damn dwarven crossbow user in the entire realm.
I shall commemorate DK's tomb with tales of his heroism!
I was checking out the save file that Iceglow sent me and during BoB's time our cage traps that I set up caught 8 foxes (plus one from my time), 4 deer and two camels.
We could start breeding them!
...or else let them loose on the goblins and see what'd happen.
Or kill them with magma! Or drop them in the pit!
I would never have had you down as someone who wanted the brutal murder of foxes and deer, but hey, that'd be a hilarious option too.
Although +fox meat roast+ also sounds tempting.
EDIT: DFC II: ShlupQuack vs 5 Foxes, live from the Octagon.
I have plans my people. trust me it's going to be beautiful.
As long as it ends in blood.
Oh, I just noticed this.Quote:

perhaps I can consider it once I am done with the defences, I could since Iceglow is a marksdwarf holding the gate give him a state room at the top of the second tower at somepoint.Quote:

I'll probably need help with that... I can't view that page at work, but I'm guessing it's that thing you did with the HK map and so forth. I've no idea how to do that, unless it's written up on the website or something...Quote:

Really depends on how many levels we have above the great hall. If there are few, looks like we need to dig a new one!
We have a great hall?

Our entire fortress is one big hall, and I happen to think it's pretty great.Quote:

second update post should come tonight
ok, firstly I kinda didn't have time to write a proper update and as is it is currently Autumn in the game thus my turn is 3/4 complete. So far my turn has seen no deaths amongst the dwarves but winter is still to come and anything can happen.
So to finish off spring here is what happened:
Spring:
I wasn't impressed at all with our defences, in a bid to improve the state of our fortress after the mishaps of Loony BoB's rule I immediately dispatched the military to secure the entry point of the fortress. Immediately leading my squad up to the first floor of the tower so I could stand overwatch I noticed Shlupquack moving erratically. I made a mental note, have her pay a visit to a doctor or a butcher, whichever you prefer to call them. Since I had perfect overview of the killing fields in front of the fortress I decided to call the masons over and give them their directions. Below me Psychotic and Shlup secured the entrance that lunatic loony bob left in the hands of the enemy. The masons quickly got to work and before you know it the fortress began to look more like this:
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...1-22-33-31.jpg
The fortresses new defenses were fast becomming something to behold you have an entirely new corridor linking the trading depot to the rest of the fortress. The plan is for the corridor to be a defensive position, there will be a grate surround for the marksdwarves to shoot in to the ground floor from which in turn will be full of traps when finished. This will be hard for any enemy patrols to penetrate past especially when we lock the doors sealing an enemy squad inside and position our archers in either the towers or the catwalks above. This building construct should help protect the castle with on a few warrior defenders needed at a time. As you can also see I expanded the rear of the trade depot to encompass a new room to provide an entrance to the second lower tower. I also sealed access to Necro's trap to keep the fortresses reputation good incase that would stop migrants comming.
Unknown to me I had accidentally (I failed to see where they went and remembered them when they announced they would depart soon) trapped an Elvish caravan. My response to this was "well tough you've sealed your fate, shouldn't go through small gaps in walls that are being built when you arrive." I was going to leave them there for a while but Necro the child predator decided to activate the levers causing the following mayhem to occur:
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...1-22-45-67.jpg
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...1-33-17-55.jpg
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...1-34-13-35.jpg
I thought about it for a while and whilst I dearly wanted to shoot the damn Necronopticus for his treacherous act there against my wishes that the trap not be used for a while I saw the benefits of his actions. He'd saved the masons and myself a good deal of time and effort of trying to free the elves and keeping them away from the rest of the population if they went mad in the underground prison they found themselves in. I let it lie for now at least it couldn't happen again and the materials they brought would probably prove useful if only to trade with other people.
Thats the spring over with
Now for Summer:
Following on directly from Spring...
I was impressed however by how much gore the elvish caravan produced as witnessed by looking out of my tower at the refuse stockpile:
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...1-49-43-93.jpg
As you can see, the end of Spring saw no new Migrants, after so much death and destruction at the hands of the lunatic BoB I didn't really expect that many to come for a while. However excusing the miasama from the remains of the dead kobold that attempted to break in to the fort, inside the new fortifications however was Psychotic's squad on guard duty the thief did not last long at all, I think they tore it apart in about 2 seconds, angry that a creature even dared to come forwards after the blood shed of the last year my military comrades and myself were chomping at the bit to get to grips with the enemy and give them a pasting.
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...1-44-57-79.jpg
The above shows, the building on the surface in Stonesense the purple cloud like area is a miasama created by the thief that was killed by Psychotic's squad, the elves were still being cleaned up at the time and none of the other dwarves seemed to take notice of the dead kobold until it rotted. Note there is also an extension to the curtain wall so that the north side of the strawberry fields are protected from enemy archer fire. I will possibly consider a southern curtain wall at a later point in time or leave it up to the next person.
That covered most of what happened in Spring and the first few days of summer. It was not all of the things that happened in Spring or summer for that matter...
Straight off at the start of summer we had 2 weddings take place Momiji II stole the heart of Zeldy and Raistlin decided he'd love some of that Lekana ass...
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-15-43-93.jpg
Celes was taken by a Fey Mood which is nothing unusual though what exactly is a fey mood I wonder?
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-33-35-33.jpg
We'd just finished clearing up after the thief and the elvish caravan and we faced a much bigger threat: AMBUSH!!!!
The defenses weren't ready but a quick locking of all outer doors and the positioning of one of the two squads of melee (sorry I forget which one was on duty now) in the new entry chamber meant that I could afford to order the few dwarves outside back indoors and then secure the doors behind them. My squads that weren't on duty at the time including my own raced to their positions in that entry chamber and the tower. Thanks to the new defences my snipers moved out on to the top of an unparapeted wall in an act of brazen valour to shoot at the goblin ambushers taking 2 of them down whilst the Goblin crossbow carrier managed to shoot anything but dwarves, I think he even managed to shoot a strawberry plant!
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-30-44-71.jpg
The ambushers arrive (the hill to the south of the tower)
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-53-56-77.jpg
Our valiant millitary in position to react.
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-31-27-69.jpg
The goblins were cautious the fortress was a lot more prepared to repel invaders than before.
Shoeberto was the first to exit the safety of the fortifications and shoot at the greenskins, seeing the stout hearted dwarf the goblins began to move towards the wall shooting, I quickly followed suit between us we slaughtered 2 of the goblins with bolts before Shlupquack decided she wouldn't let us have all the fun and against orders unlocked the door and charged out alone even her squad never left the building to follow they merely stood guarding the doors yelling at her to come back...Cursing I stepped out further to shoot more accurately the shots were on target as were shlup's fists and we smashed the remaining goblins down between us one of which seemed to have got propelled backwards 3 or 4 tiles by the force of a crossbow bolt to the face! I don't unfortunately have screen shots of this event but it was pretty awesome.
During this ambush randomly a thief stole a sock that had not been claimed yet from outside the walls, I didn't get him but I suppose the mangy kobold couldn't return home empty handed...
After the battle Shlup was shaking uncontrollably and I remembered her awkward and clumsy movements back at the start of spring after speaking to her and to others I discovered something I wish I hadn't, our indominable warrior Shlup had suffered a nervous system injury and needed to be replaced as leader of her Squad. Well that was it I was saddened but Psychotic was gloating eventually I convinced her she needed to come down but she agreed on conditions...Theundeadhero takes command and the squad consisted of the following 3: Fujiko (who had deigned only to use her fists in homage to Shlup her mentor) and that was it. I am friends with the mad wrestler and so I decided accept her terms rather than give cause to end up with a fist up my rectum whilst sleeping.
Christmas ended her term as mayor and Momiji II took control of the city mayoral role...And immediately mandated the construction of certain goods.
The Migrants, Psychotic promised his father would send never made it, I began to believe they were ambushed by a bigger party of Goblins, I considered this in a dark mood a good time to go out hunting goblins however the rest of our forces and the new mayor forbade me from enacting my thoughts. Psychotic practically begged me not to because it would bring his father here to discipline me and he couldn't hide from his own father no matter how much muscle he gained.
Remember I said Celes had been taken with a Fey mood? Well she had during the mini war going on through our gatehouse she had claimed a crafts workshop and what she decided to produce during this was:
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...0-03-11-38.jpg
I'm sure it'll scare the children to sleep nicely if you don't behave and Necro gets to take you to visit this menacing idol and what he does there, well only he knows and he aint telling and we're none too keen on asking!
Then a couple of things happened to bring some more joy than our recent victories over our enemies brought us (and ofcourse the two marriages from the start of the season which is a sure sign that our town is recovering from BoB's time in control) Foa and Yars married and then merely a day later in a really rather surprising move Necronopticous and Sir Lancealot married too!
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...0-08-38-43.jpg
I wish the best of luck to the 4 happy couples!
And so we begin Autumn....
Hahahahah but god damn did those Elves produce a lot of blood.
and so it is done:
Autumn:
There wasn't really anything that took place in Autumn it was all together too quiet! The only thing I noticed of interest was this:
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...17-11-33-1.jpg
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...0-07-20-52.jpg
So Raistlin gets possessed and then immediately siezes a magma forge...ok you go there brother, you're a champion of the military and yet you sieze a forge...
Winter:
We began winter with an ambush, unfortunately Shattered Dreamer and Shiny were online. Shattered managed to hide from the Goblins however Shiny got cornered. I quickly activated her as a soldier so she would stand a chance to fend off her attackers, with her bare fists she ripped a goblin apart who was carrying a spear. Unfortunately her surprise victory was short lived, her actions made the rest of the Goblins pick on her, she faced down a spear user and 2 archers but unfortunately the archers put a few too many shafts in her and she fell to the ground never to rise again.
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-15-32-59.jpg
Shattered dreamer hid here, right next to the entry point of the ambush.
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-15-51-73.jpg
new recruit Shiny with her Goblin kill nearby, the archer to the top of the screen was the one who eventually killed her :(
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-17-40-89.jpg
Shiny's killers standing tall, I meant for her to get a proper burial in a soldiers tomb since she died in combat and took at least one of her opponents with her against odds which even for shlup or psychotic would prove insurmountable.
The Goblins went on to kill a fair few of our animals.
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-17-54-55.jpg
the horsie got it...
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-19-14-78.jpg
and the mule... the dead goblins here are actually some of the goblins from the ambush shot down by my own squad.
They also got this doggie
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-20-20-09.jpg
The Goblin died soon after for his trespass and the killing of the doggie it was my friend so we shot him full of holes for it...
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-20-36-24.jpg
We hadn't even finished clearing up after this ambush when a second ambush kicked off, thankfully during the cleanup of an ambush I keep all forces on alert. I immediately began sniping at the second squad of Goblins whilst all dwarves from outside, including Shattered Dreamer made it back indoors and hid. Not having any archers to return fire the Goblin squad almost immediately fled with just 1 casualty and withdrew from the combat zone leaving me to return to cleaning things up and plotting my traps in fact the second ambush was over so quick I only got one shot of them fleeing...
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-37-01-34.jpg
I knew winter was drawing to a close, I hope that whomever takes over next will complete my new gatehouse, there are plenty of things being made to lay traps with in the main chamber there and the flooring needs completion due to one tile giving me problems. I was so focussed on clearing up I never noticed that Raistlin was still in his magma forge, he'd become consumed with a feeling of melancholy and then because he refused to leave the forge he siezed he died of thirst....silly dwarf!
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...3-58-47-04.jpg
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...0-07-39-97.jpg
So we got no new migrants in my year, though I started producing some mechanisms which will help increase the odds of us getting some (see the wiki for facts), I also had to bid farewell to Shiny and Raist, I'm just grateful I only managed to lose 2 dwarves, I had visions of me screwing up and ruining it all. I finish this post with a stonesense shot of the new gatehouse as it stands now though I am slightly miffed I didn't finish it:
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...1-12-57-51.jpg
Ok, so I'm done and the game is saved and ready to move on to the next, however according to the list it's meant to be Rye, since I am not sure if she is available to do her turn atm and afap/ik (as far as psy/I knows) hux is the same boat, what shall we do, shall we put it down to the next person after those two and then let them do 2 years apiece on their turn?
Good job (and by good job I mean bad job) on not getting anyone killed! You couldn't have arranged for an "accident" involving Shlup being pushed off the tower to occur?
I guess we should wait and see what Rye has to say on the matter.
Although we always need new rulers! Feel free to sign up yourselves, readers! And don't use the "oh no I don't know how to play" excuse either. BoB and Iceglow are amateurs to the whole DF thing too and look what they achieved: Comedy!
Download it here. And yeah, it's free.
Looks like I have courageous battles to engrave! HOORAY!
Rye may not realize that now's her turn! Send a PM to her!
I certainly don't have the time right now to take my turn. Rye might or might not, she's in class right now so I can't ask her, though I would hazard that she doesn't either. Contact whoever is after us and let them know it might be coming their way, I'll get Ryeling to confirm/deny later today.
I don't think we have anyone after you and there's our problem!
Back to the first player!
We could go back, although let's see if Lynx has convinced Clarissa that her future is managing a godawful hole in the ground.Quote:

Also Shattered is a coward, shiny stood and fought he ran away with mild bruising to his arm and hip
I'll play again, if no one new wants to.
How are you passing the folder around? My e-mail is ichigoyummy@gmail.com.
Perhaps when she gets back from Maryland in a week! My sincerest apologies, dear Psychotic!Quote:

Other couples I noticed: Necronopticous & Sir Lancealot, Yar & foa, and Momiji II & Zeldy.

Anyway, I wanted a lava moat! I knew I would have a lava moat (and I was right)!
Bunny is a wussy, though. He vomited as soon as he went outside to channel my moat, because the sun "nauseated" him. He also became stuck down there, and others had to mine him out. I don't think I'll let him live long.
-
Before I show you the pretty lava moat, I'll tell you what else happened.
I decided to deconstruct what appeared to be the wall I first built when I embarked. It looked out of place, so I removed it. In the process, scrumpleberry was lost to us.
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...rtress/010.gif
She drowned. Tough luck. (Did you notice that there's a door to the lava moat?)
But!
She was reincarnated immediately!
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...rtress/012.gif
As the baby boy of Yar and foa. =O
Necronopticous...also gave birth to a baby.
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...rtress/014.gif
Ouch!
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...rtress/013.gif
There were a few ambushes, but I put a squad on duty, and squad members knocked the goblins across the field! They went flying! It was very dramatic!
That's about it.
-
So, here it is!
Take a look at our new lava moat!
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...rtress/015.gif
Yeah! The two bridges (one on each side of the fort) are retractible and match, in color, their corresponding levers! One bridge is blue, and the other is yellow.
The lava heart isn't easily recognizable in the above screen, so here's a better one:
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...rtress/011.gif
A lava moat? holy crap we truly are Dwarves now. tbh I'm surprised we had enough of the stuff to do that!
We dorfs are totally mighty now! So, if a beast invades, we need a failsafe to flood the fortress with lava just to make certain our secrets are safe!
BTW: I redownloaded this, and if a turn comes open on Tues... I'll take it.
ugh, as soon as I start, I only have about 18 fps...
Nevermind, messed with my init, got on average 50fps starting...
Kinda made my defenses redundant......still the new gatehouse will look awesome for the snipers to shoot from. We need another marksdwarf squad still :D
Yeah, just pull up the drawbridges and have a bunch of crossbowdwarves do all the dirty work while the melee dwarves pull faces or something. :D
The entire structure above ground is awesome, by the way! I like it a lot!
We need to start construction on a 3x3 tower to the Gods. Just saying, then, rig a pump to go all the way to the top and create a waterfall of epic proportions!
A LAVAFALL!? IT'S POSSIBLE!?Quote:

Also, add me to the list. I will be ready.... god, what am I doing..?
I think we need to order some bauxite blocks or something.
Can a honey bee inn be build? :bigsmile:
I mostly just expanded on Psychotic's original tower and the original trade depot building (the non-trap one that is) so I can't take all the credit. Oh could you see (I'm dumb and couldn't figure it out) why the dwarves wouldn't build the last tile of stone flooring in the new connecting hall?Quote:

yeah the stone was there and I think that they cancelled the construction due to the fact an item was in the way so I set the stones there to be dumped (to be reclaimed later) however they never moved it :S
Oh and how do I recognize if a place has a lava pool from the embark screen?
Little red double ~, only if it is set to always show. Which I have set for designing a world with my own parameters. I just jump volcanism to 200, and every world location will have at least one volcano pipe. Then it's just finding one near a source of water, sand, and good stone...
Tantrums! Tantrums! Tantrums!
Deaths so far:

Demon Dude, Christmas II, and Meat Puppet all have gone stark raving mad, too.
The dining room is covered in blood.
Oh dear god what how did I die?
Somehow you suffocated. ShlupQuack fell into the lava moat while fighting goblins, I think. XD
Probably a sparring accident where my lungs or throat got torn out. Either way, holy crap we're in trouble ha ha ha.
Sparring with a master wrestler is awesome!
We all are going to die.
Dead:
- Psychotic

Miriel went berserk, and nearly everyone else is injured and unable to work.
Losing is fun.
xD I live on? Crazy.
EDIT: If Red Pill still lives, then I think we're the only two still alive from the first days.
Yes, but you keep breaking tables!Quote:

I watched you die, Lynx. Shoeberto shot arrows at you until you were dead right outside the dining area. =(
Why am I craaaazy!
Why are you naaaaked!?
Every single one of these stories must be told and I eagerly await them! If only I had died someplace nicer, like the strawberry patch!Quote:

A few of the dwarves have recovered from their misery and are fine, though. Iceglow is stark raving mad, and he'll die soon.
I probably starved to death. Our history and literature is now ruined!
You died of thirst beside the barrels of food and wine. Good job!Quote:

So, the bad news is: there are only seven dwarves left. The good news is: they all are good as new, so tantrums should be in the past, and Towntwinkles will survive (I think).
I accidentally played a little far into Spring, by the way (I fell asleep).
This season's deaths:
- Sir Lancealot
- Iceglow
- Necronopticous
- Wolf Kanno (baby)
- Leeza
- I Took the Red Pill
- Sagensyg

- Shattered Dreamer
- MILF II
- Levian
- Ouch!
Survivors:
- Celes
- theundeadhero
- Rantzien
- Jessweeee
- Fujiko
- Jiro
- qwertysaur
We still need migrants, because the only survivor who can work is Celes. The rest are champions. There's enough food and alcohol to last seven dwarves for a while, though!
CAN I BE SNOW WHITE!? http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...sney_snow2.gif
A fortress without literature is uncivilized and barbaric. With me dead, the fortress is as good as worthless.
Monda I have no idea how the hell you managed to end up with just 7 Dwarves but that is seriously impressive work. :lol:
How did I die? Did it involve cats in any way?
>>> This game looks hard..:luca:
All I have to say is that rerouting the lava into the fortress and then pumping the first level with water would be an amazing way to preserve the fortress for all eternity from any evil raiders who might seek to steal our artifacts.
That said, how many dimdums is our fortress worth.
(also: Do you prefer DimDums or DwarfBucks?)
Necronopticous is too busy to take his turn. Who's next?
Me either, because I fell asleep!Quote:

Towntwinkles - 25 Early Spring by EoFF - submitted by: Marshall Banana
I excluded strawberries and strawberry wine from the stockpiles in the dining area and made new stockpiles for them in the seahorse area. I also created a new strawberry farm directly above that area outside, and I intended to connect the seahorse/strawberry area to the dining area. None of my plans worked, though, because Towntwinkles was at a standstill for three seasons.
Also, I wasn't able to build a new bridge that's three tiles wide for the caravans, either.
I hope I do a good job! I just need to download the old regular version of Dwarf Fortress, since I play the Civ Mod version. While I set that up...
Town Twinkles has undergone great chaos and left is only one working dwarf and many warriors. Under Sir Rantzien I, Town Twinkles becomes a military state, devoted to sparring, the art of war, and the worship of the great Sir Rantzien I who has rid the evil plague upon the fortress thus forth.
My goals:
* Keeping the ratio of warriors to regular dwarves to at least 50% - this is a war state. You silly fish cleaners pansy have no place here!
* Having lavish quarters devoted to Sir Rantzien I. You silly whiny nobles have no place here!
* A constant manufacture of statues in Sir Rantzien I's honor. Statue gardens! The Palace of Versailles won't be nothing compared to this.
* Was going to do a royal menagerie of a bunch of Giant War Beetles, but the regular version of DF doesn't have those. What animal should I do instead?
Any other goals anyone can think of? I like these, I think!
Make the lava moat bigger.
I'll try! I'm scared, I've only ever made one moat before, and it was water! XD
EDIT: Oh my god, this is the most complex fortress ever. I'm so scared I'm going to ruin it or make it ugly or break it!!!
I will jump in after christmas.
I'm not so sure Town Twinkles will be alive by then! Poor Celes is doing everything for the lazy soldiers, and she was unhappy when I started - I'm pretty sure she's going to snap soon! No migrants want to come either - I just got a message that said no migrants would ever consider going to a death trap like Town Twinkles, or something similar! Oh no :(
There's plenty of food and alcohol for seven dwarves, though. Should be okay, if Towntwinkles can, eventually, attract migrants.
Yeah. And there's so many animals to BUTCHER!!!
_____________________________________________________________
EDIT: Very little action has happened so far. Sir Rantzien I has been content thus far, but I fear he might get angry without tribute!
For now, these will be the tales of a poor little dwarf named Celes. Celes is the only dwarf who can actually do anything, so I had to give her every task. She was very close to snapping! She'd mine 3 tiles, then plant a seed, then move a bed, then go drink. The crazy life.
Poor Celes, working away to build another barrack for the military dwarves, so they can be close to the gates should attack happen! That may come in handy........
Soon after, as she's the only working dwarf, she became the mayor. Plans for a coup to overthrow the vicious warlord Rantzien in place, her move much improved. Plus, she now has nobles quarters. Sweeeeeet.
She then got re-elected literally 5 minutes later, which made her even happier. Good thing, since now she's back to building a huge new dining hall. As soon as it was built, there was a puppy-spolsion. Though luckily, not thermonuclear.
Things seemed peaceful. The animals made dirty animal love (god, you wouldn't believe the number of animals there are in the Z menu!), the warriors fought and drank themselves into happy stupor, and Celes settled down in the strawberry patch.
But then, we got not one ambush. Not even two ambushes. But THREE ambushes. In a row. Triple ambush.
The new military quarters came in handy. They were just sparring in there as the goblins stormed the bridge. They were just outside the gates as the warriors, lead by the gallant Sir Rantzien I, came out for some whoop ass.
Sir Rantzien I was so mighty that he smacked a goblin into a wall. Now, it's not a far distance, but the goblin split up into several pieces, from the force. It was pretty damn sweet. Just a warm up, for Sir Rantzien!
More to come once we actually get some goddamn migrants!
I don't know how you guys do it with these awful graphical tilesets.
I agree with Necro. Your graphic packs are stupid. ASCII is epic, especially when a dragon sets your alcohol stores on fire, and then BOOM! Everything blows.
You mean when a D sets your █ on ;;'';;';'';'; :p
I've played with ASCII but I just prefer Dystopian Rhetoric's tileset to everything.
I honestly wouldn't be able to play ASCII. Not just because I don't think it's pretty, but because I literally can't even find the dwarves on them. My eyesight isn't THAT good!
I actually really like this tileset. xD And it's even better when you run it with stone sense.
ASCII is fine for people who have been playing roguelikes forever, or people who have been playing games so long that they used to play text-based adventure games on DOS. But for people who aren't used to that sort of thing, why go to the effort of learning what every ugly thing means and figuring out what it means when an E is fighting an e when there is a better alternative?
Like Paul I have played with ASCII but I just dislike it. It's less intuitive. It's less clear. It's immensely ugly. I do not want to look at it. So it's not like it's even a compromise, less so still for Jess, because the tileset is superior in every way. It conveys information more easily and rapidly than ASCII, you don't have to spend as long learning how to 'read' the game as you do having to learn the UI, and as was stated in a current thread on the topic on bay12 just a day or two ago;
Plus I really did play games back in the day when even real graphics looked about the same as ASCII, and they were not good times. Graphics aren't everything, but they are something.Quote:

I see where you're coming from, but I just can't get behind it since the graphical tilesets currently available are impossibly ugly.
I'm not sure what you mean by the ASCII being ugly. Sure, the default Curses font is ugly (and criminally rectangular) but there are really beautiful alternatives out there.
Lamonda had never played an ASCII game before this. Subconsciously parsing the symbols was not really a problem for her at all. Honestly, I'm a lot more confused looking your guys' pictures since the tileset does not even solve what you are claiming is the problem--I still see "g" and "X" and "o" and arrows and weird unexplained graphics in your menu. At its current state, it just seems like it's exacerbating the problem.
Yeah. It's weird that off is the default.Quote:

I wouldn't have a problem with you having it for three years, as it's kind of harsh that you were left with one functioning Dwarf!
Thanks! As it turns out, Jiro actually was only a wrestler as opposed to a Champ, so I was able to de-enlist him just in time and put him to use, but yeah. There's not much I can do with two dwarves, one of which without any real skills!
Frankly some of us who've done less of the killing and maiming need to go in succession I think to get the numbers up again in otherwords, let bob and marshall go last :P
You're acting like Monda didn't kill them all on purpose.
I know she did which is why if we wish for TT to continue to go on (unlike Shlups sims) we ought to put some effort in to re-building it some. I've become very good at getting migrants to come but I have to admit I have no way of keeping track of everything thats going on once I got them I'm still learning the frentic how to control everything going on at once part.
Then can we get her to kill them all again? It's no fun if they're all alive!
But I didn't kill anyone on purpose, except Demon Dude, and he was stark raving mad at the time!
Murderer! :colbert:
I admit that watching Towntwinkles residents kill each other was fun, but the tantrum spiral is the fault of Psychotic the dwarf for getting himself killed!
Gasp! I am outraged! Why, if my murdered Dwarf hadn't been murdered and led to the murdering of your murdered Dwarf, I would murder you for these accusations of murder!
Well yeah the goal is to build em up and knock em down again right so if we build it up we get Marshalls mad hatter routine to kill most of us again.
I don't really know what you're talking about, but Loony BoB can play whenever he wants!
Probably won't be me anytime soon, I've become occupied with a certain other game, admittedly. =x

Also it doesn't matter to me if people kill Dwarves. It's all for a good time! Losing is fun!
hell, if we kill the town I guess we could always do a reclaimation party to reclaim town twinkles. Have the reclaiming party as like descendents of the original tt dwarves for extra laughs..
I can play starting january.
I decided to play Adventure Mode in the World of EoFF, starting out from Vucar Bab, our Civilization's capital. Not knowing what I was doing because I had never played Adventure mode, I smashed a small child with my war hammer and was promptly accosted by an army of children, milkers, cheese makers and peasants. You'll be pleased to know I killed the lot of 'em, and this means there'll be less for Towntwinkles! I also gouged out the eyes of several children and left them wandering about the corpse pile, blind. Hey, they attacked me first!
Then I ended up in a Goblin Tower - a really godawful maze - and met a Demon in there. The Demon's name was, get this, The Ghoul of Responsibility. What the smurf kind of name is that? It asked me to kill a Bronze Colossus for it. Okay, fair enough, I suppose that would be a pretty responsible thing to do. So I asked it about the surroundings so I might know more about where to find this Colossus. "To the north, there is a place of great Evil" said the Demon. Awesome, I think. "There are..." and it leans in to whisper to me "Dark Gnomes there! Terrifying!" Dark Gnomes. Dark mothersmurfing Gnomes. I don't know if any of you have come across them in your fortresses but I have, and I assure you that a Kobold could easily take a smurfing Dark Gnome. What kind of pussy ass Demon is this Ghoul of Responsibility? I decided I would kill it and bashed it repeatedly with my hammer. I managed to cause a minor bruise to one of its arms before it incinerated me. Apparently my body (I presume my ashes) were then impaled on an iron spear to serve as a warning. :shobon:
I once tried Adventure mode. I started underground in a large hall where goblins were fighting with dwarves. Needless to say, I went for a goblin to kill it. And got slaughtered. Oops.
Whoa you must've spawned in the middle of a war. That's pretty awesome and lucky.
Speaking of wars, right now I am making a mod for DF to make combat tougher. Making Goblins tougher and more numerous, as well as having more friends along for the ride (eg giant spiders and putting the goblins in caves so they will be more likely to bring trolls) when they show up. I also added a race of Frost Trolls, which are basically Frost Giants from other mods but Trolls are easier to sprite. :shobon: Finally, I added Balrogs (see: Gandalf) as a megabeast and I made all megabeasts a hell of a lot tougher.
I will make 300-style fort. Never retreat! Never surrender! Death and glory to the Dwarves!
EDIT: Oh, and I removed all smurfing pets apart from dogs. Seriously, smurf pets.
Psy, why mod when you can just add the mod for orcs, which are way worse than gobbos could ever hope to be.
Just for you I'll rename the goblins in what I've done to Orcs. :aimkiss: But Rysith's Orc mod (to which I assume you refer) is basically ridiculous! I don't want hundreds of the smurfers showing up in year one.
Why not? It is a real challenge. And if those damn dwarfs can't handle it, then OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
Further:
DimDums or DwarfBucks.
You people never decided on a currency. Also, any new game, turn the economy back on. Keep in mind, you don't need to smelt coins. Dwarves are surprisingly good with credit.
It is a "hide behind walls until you have thirty steel-plated champions" challenge. :colbert: I want to go out and fight right from the start with crappy copper (or whatever I can find) armour and have it be an epic battle.
DwarfBucks I guess. Although you've been spending way too much time at Bay12 young man.
Economy is lame. I am not turfing all of my Dwarfs out of the homes I spent so long building.
Ahhh, I need to update soon!
I would. I like poverty. It makes me richer.
Haha, good point.
My mod is smurfing insane. I have only had one migrant wave and three sieges, two Orc and one Frost Troll. The first and second sieges are interesting combats, but I will talk about the third while we wait for Jess to get off her big Italian ass to update. (ilu really Jess!)
The third siege had 32 orcs (consider that I had 26 Dwarves total at the time, reduced to a military of 6 thanks to a few losses) and featured two squads led by an Elite Bowman and a Hammer Lord.
Let's take a look at my outer defences.
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...gness/fort.jpg
The three towers are taller than this but I've gone down some levels so you can see. Essentially the tower in the middle is my trade depot, the tower on the right is my fortress entrance and on the left is there just to keep my foes in one place. The bridges both retract, meaning I can seperate my trade depot from the outside world and still be able to access it from my fortress, and the bridge on the right is in case the trade depot is breached. Above it we have the Marksdwarf catwalk (and the entrance to it is completely seperate from the fortress entrance in case of breaches) and they can pump bolts into the two right hand towers from above if needs be.
Squad 1 shows up first with the Elite Bowman, and I know I cannot possibly hope to take that asshole. So I iniate Plan: Elven Destruction, and drop the bridge out from under them as they duel the human guards on it, causing them all to drop into the pit I dug for Elves. All the humans on the bridge were killed in the fall and the Orcs that went in were crippled, but as they feel no pain or fear it didn't stop them. What did stop them, however, was a Human Bowman (or bow-woman, actually, named Emeg Pishuhnil) who was still in the depot and merrily fired arrows into the pit that the crippled orcs were crawling their way out of, backed up by my Marksdwarves, Pikachu and Jolteon. (oh yeah, this is a Pokemon themed fort. RIP Psyduck and Charmander :()
The Elite Bowman chose not to cross the bridge, however, and held some forces in reserve. So I lowered the bridge, daring him to cross. This knocked poor Emeg off the tower and onto the ground (thankfully not into the pit, she landed just next to it) breaking her leg. An Orc Axeman bore down on her to get the killing blow but despite her wounds, she took him down. Then the Bowman decided he wanted to kill her point blank and marched down there with what remained of his squad and did so, Emeg dying with an impressive seven kills. This distraction allowed my Marksdwarves to eliminate the Elite Bowman and the rest of his boys.
With him down I was prepared to lower the bridge to the Trade Depot and send in my four Wrestlers, Ponyta, Vulpix, Squirtle and Shellder. They have no weapons or armour because right now I am too smurfing poor to make any. (although with this siege, I think I have a lot of smelting to be doing) and at this point, the Human Guild Leader decides this is a great time to leave the fortress, and I hold my breath as the Hammer Lord's squad closes in, but luckily the Guild Leader got away. I couldn't cope with the Humans joining in on the sieging fun.
This time I know I cannot drop the bridge as my four boys are already on it. The Hammer Lord charges across, alone, presumably because he is that much faster than his squad. This is pleasing as he is out-numbered and gets taken down quickly. However, the tide soon turns as his squad of Spearorcs and Axeorcs come pouring across the bridge, and now it is the Dwarves who are out-numbered.
The numbers game causes all four of my wrestlers to go into a Martial Trance, and they charge across the bridge, not stopping as they throw Orcs off it left and right, and I am in awe as the siege is lifted.
Amazed I had 0 losses in this one, as I had lost Dwarves to lesser forces. I think I was largely helped by using the humans as a meatshield, and the heroism of Emeg.
Oooooh, I wanna play. :P
1st post is not really all that clear, so where might one download this?
Oh, I didn't think to link it!
