Never seen a fortress resemble post-WWII Germany before.
Let us be frank, gentlemen. Killer herds of undead grazing animals? Battle donkeys? Identical goblins? Dedicated necropoli? Artifice barrels? Slime lakes? Shit monsters? Forgotten beast incursions through artifact gem windows? Anti-gravity miners with fey moods?
Battlefailed is 2010's Boatmurdered.
I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.
Like a perfectly pleasant little tundra fortress still busy getting its stuff together, that somebody painted a lovely shade of murder.
Gemclod: let's all get killed and eaten
Gemclod is a "let's play" ran in 2010-2011 in the true spirit of SomethingAwful's succession games with tons of reader collaboration. Perhaps the largest Dwarf Fortress story so far, Gemclod has about 350 official updates, about the same number of fan journals, several dozens of pictures and even 13 custom-made pieces of music. Come join the last surviving members of the "Famous Palisade" in their desperate bit to found a fortress in a sinister swamp, far from the eyes of greenskins, the Arrogant Ones and grizzly bears. Only there can they build a splendid, amazing, truly fabulous Great Hall.
I've really run this fort into the ground. Half the military is dead or insane from the horrors of hell, six or so forsaken beasts are locked away in the caverns, the road into Deathgate has been painted with troll blood, we've slaughtered about 400 innocent animals via liberal application of a boot to the ass, a deer with its liver hanging out of its chest after two siege bolts to the face is still scaring the piss out of people using the old doom-bridge, and we have about a dozen ghosts routinely harassing our dwarves since I can't find or reach their corpses. As I speak, lava is pouring down the side of the mountain in the hopes it burns some of those damned goblins sieging us to death or at least drives them towards the troll-blood bridge. On the flip side, Armok's temple is almost complete and we've stolen enough goods from the humans to piss them off for a good decade.
It is really, really easy to flood this place with magma fwiw.
Doors stop fire, right?
So, let me get this straight. I have been the play-thing of gods and their vampire servants, I have led the unwashed masses into a new age of splendour and military accomplishment. I have died, and risen again. The power of flame and sword, of divine wrath itself, was not enough to stop me. I have battled zombies, had their grasping hands inches from my neck and still come out on top. My influence helped to purge the spirits of the undead from the halls of the fortress and returned a fellow being back into the halls of life. I spat in the eye of Armok himself!
All that, I have done. I have seen the rise and fall of many suns and moons, the turning of the world and one season blending into another in a dizzying blend. And it all ends in a muddy field with a bloody yak goring me. In true Necrothreat spirit, what a Troll
When Battlefailed fell, there were attempts to reclaim it and continue the awesome. They failed, the fort was flooded beyond belief and apparently no longer playable. They gave up and made Failcannon nearby. But then several months later. This happened. -TV Tropes Community Page
Gen a new HUGE world, and start playing from YEAR ONE. That would mean super low population. Super High Titan and mega beast population. And it would mean each Dwarf is "the first of their kind" No kids yet, no epic warriors, no time for anything. So EVERYTHING is new and from scratch.
Dwarf Fortress is often lauded as one of the most complicated games of all time. The interface is opaque, the learning curve a cliff. It's hard enough for experienced players to keep their forts safe and secure on the best of days.
So, what happens when a bunch of players play a succession fort while completely inebriated?
Drunk Fortress is a Dwarf Fortress succession game in which each player takes a turn playing while totally plastered. It's run on a "First Drunk First Serve" basis, in which whoever is consuming alcohol at the moment is the next player. As can be expected from such playing conditions, the fortress quickly became a labyrinthine mess of half-finished projects and forgotten passages, with magma leaking into the fort from every direction and hosting at least three tantrum spirals. And it is glorious.
An aboveground farming-based fort which exports each and every ounce of food whenever a caravan stopped by, Breadbowl soon became menaced by goblins, titans, and worst of all, Hamsters.
After days of travel, she had arrived at the spot the princess had commanded. It was hot, and humid. The sound of a stream could be heard nearby, according to the map the stream was called, Bleachedroot the Pranks of Coincidence. The area was thick with plant life, and heavily forested with trees that looked unnatural, it seemed as if the very forest itself was hostile to the presence of the few terrified ponies. Charity decided that they would name the new fortress something happy, something to show that it was a shining point of civilization, inside the harsh and unforgiving jungle, and so it was decided that this would be Glitterglen, Strike the Earth!
Okay, sure, we came out here to strip-mine the local landscape, and trained a squad of axe-wielding child soldiers to slaughter the indigenous population as well as murder an ancient being's family and friends one by one right in front of him. Yes, Sinthad's life has been so brutal and bloody that she is little more than a dead-eyed killer at 19. Yes, the arrival of a kindly and just King did nothing to improve the lives of the dwarves, because the problem is not people like Logem but rather the entire dwarven culture. Yes, Glazedcoast is a glass box filled with mud and dead plants, covered in sickening phlegm, below which sits a festering hole leading deep into the bowels of the earth; yes, its major exports are weapons and suffering; yes, there is not a single family that has not lost a child to monsters or the arrogance of the military. I have had endangered birds shot and left their bodies to rot on the ground. I allowed a four-hundred-year-old vampire queen to be ripped limb from limb to discover the limits of her powers. I have thrown innocents into battle with vicious goblins simply because the amazing works of art they produced did not amaze me quite enough. I have made pies out of puppies.
This is grim? This is monstrous? THIS. IS. DWARF! FORTRESS!
*kicks human ambassador into a pit full of captured goblins; puts on gem-studded human-hair crown*
For being a story based on books about bloody cats, it is exceedingly Dwarven.
Plus, their Dwarves are somehow surviving without throats. That's hardcore.
25th Moonstone, 182, Early Winter - Water flooding of the top of guildhalls began this month, but with the sealed passages between the buildings accidentally closed off, the dwarves (restricted to the interior of the halls, via burrows) pathed along the exterior avenues. Four dwarves perished when water flow pushed them off of the streets to fall many z-levels to their deaths. Additionally, one dwarf died on the surface, slain by a goblin ambush before the military could rush to protect him. The total fortress population has been reduced to 96, with no new dwarves having been born since 157.
The amount of malice in this thread is actually causing me some concern. I mean, chaining up mothers and forcing them to breed, just so we can drown their children to harvest their organs? Does this strike no one else as absolutely horrific?
You misspelled 'hilarious'
SO. I don't know if this is all going to lead to a functioning A.I, but at the very least when the above is installed and everything linked up, I will have essentially made the very first dwarfputed notepad. Hurray!
It's like regular childcare, except with more dogs, and less care.
...
The only issue is trying to get the child to survive without going berzerk. But then again, that might just turn into training for the other caged children, right?
Design ideas or implementation, anyone?
Well, this one would be a fine example for "Signs that you play Dwarf fortress (way) too much" thread.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.
A few, half-naked dwarves roam a massive, incomprehensible fort. The surface is covered with bodies and random items. The caverns are a mess. There are corpses sitting at tables everywhere. A fisherdwarf is paralyzed at a table after putting on clothing covered in forgotten beast extract. Some keets just hatched. People are going missing and being found dead. Hallways that lead nowhere, multiple staircases to get to the same place. Random veins being excavated. Miasma fills the halls. Levers in random places. Engravings of voidspawn killing dwarves. Engravings of dwarves engraving. Random corpse stockpiles. Slabs for voidspawn. Everything is covered in Fungin's blood. I cannot wrap my mind around this fort. Screenshots just do not do the place justice. Just... what the fuck.
Also, Necrothreat III is still active... It's just slow as molasses
Why two halls o fame? ???Monk can't keep up anymore, so he passed it off to someone else. Now we just need to get the stickies switched and it'll be all good.

Huzzah!It turns out the synopsis is for III, and the quote is for II, and 1 never had a blurb written for it. They should be moved to the right places now.
Also, quick question:
Does Necrothreat have the synopsis of the entire thing listed under III or is it listed as just that one alone?
Also, Necrothreat III is still active... It's just slow as molasses

Edit: Ah, it was Migrursut. It seems to have been deleted though. :'c
Edit2: Link is just broken Migrursut (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=19239.0) , Please update.
DoomForests can now be marked complete. Also, you should link to the second thread as well, for only the first is linked to.Alright, moved to complete and second thread linked.
I vote for dwarf fortress for the blind and the illustrated dwarf. Also nominate Sabotaged Fortress (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=156895.0)Votes and nomination added.
I highly suggest edit your shit posts and make them into votes as proper for The Hall of Legends thread.Vote added.

It's basically "You have found..." only in adventure mode. A new player finds a vault, wanders in, loses all companions and three limbs while trying to figure out what's going on. Asks questions on the forums. Manages to get the slab but has no idea what to do with it. Is told to google. Learns about clowns.
After backing up the save and searching legends mode they found that the demon who created the vault has been long dead, slain by the same roc that killed their last three adventurers. Awesome story.
Oh, and they killed a bunch of angels and got the slab while wearing only goose leather armor.

Just read it, and it is worthy of being placed in here, so +1 from me
Vaults is one of those rare things that requires a player not only know nothing about all the HFS they are courting, but also choose to document it, live, for the forum goers.
So +1 to Vaults.
Also +1 to Archcrystals, if I can get a second vote in there.
+1 to archcrystal as well, it's truly epic.
Do we need a new hall of legends?
Do we need a new hall of legends?
I almost wish not. We JUST switched the HoL.
Almost wish this was automated XD
Or even a seperate website maintained by several people not just oneCould be, though the Google docs would be easier....
Voting for Clobbermountains if that's possible now.
+1 for clobbermountains. It toally deserves it.
+1 for clobbermountains. It toally deserves it.
I really hate to ask, but has Clobbermountains been disqualified for whatever reason? It's been a long time since it was nominated, and it hasn't been mentioned by OP since.
E: A quick search indicates that nobody provided a link, as far as I can tell. Here's one (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=151909.0), if it makes any difference at this point.
I Nominate Archcrystal.... I know it only has 11 pages, but once you read it, you'll understand why I nominate this.
Its a fortress that has been active for 310 in-game years. And it is currently building a glass city in the HFS. Its military of only 2 dozen or so have faithfully guarded its gates both in the HFS and the surface for these past 3 centuries.
You HAVE to read it, the level of commitment this would require is beyond me or the average DF player
Archcrystal (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=156319.msg6814181#msg6814181)
Wirejade is in there, why not Archcrystal?
Oh...in that case yes. :oI nominate , Archcrystal as the game finally inspired me to join this place and download the game.
I already did :P so is this a +1 vote?
Also +1 to Archcrystals, if I can get a second vote in there.
+1 to Archcrystals
+1 to archcrystal if possible.
+1 Archcrystal
If such is the case, which being in college atm as well, I truly do understand, than also +1 for Archcrystal.
+1 to archcrystal as well, it's truly epic.
+1 to archcrystal as well, it's truly epic.
+1
If only for domesticated Cave Dragons.
But what he's doing in [spoilers] is truly epic.
plus he has a truly generational fort. which, let's face it, a lot of us want to do, but the damn pesky dwarves keep dying because ofusthey are stupid.
I give a vote for Archcrystal. May the cave dragons ever smote the demons unto the ages.
+1 to Archcrystal. It's just awesome.
I nominate Atolasob! One of the best community fortresses ever, if you ask me.
Im vote for SilentThunders, definitely deserves it imo
One vote for Murdermachines! Who's with me?
Yeah!

Definitely deserves a spot, I was pretty shocked when he said "goose leather". I die to those in candy!

+1 for Vaults.
Another +1 to Vaults. I think this is the first time something has passed the nomination process before it was nominated. :o

Hey, Necrothreat III is no longer active. Necrothreat IV, however, is, and deserves a vote.
Nominated! My turn's coming up soon :DI also vote for Necrothreat IV.
I'll nominate Necrothreat IV.
Hey, I noticed Necrothreat III is in the "active" section. It ended a while ago and was replaced by Necrothreat IV. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=19308.0) Thanks.Moved it to Inactive right under Necrothreat II, and added IV to the nominations. Thanks.
We need an adventurer mode section nowGood point. I'll create a section.
Some of the links in the Stories/Finished section. You put bay12games, not bay12forums.I'm not really sure what happened with those, but I'll try to fix them.
I'd actually be against making it a google doc or in any other way moving it off the forums. It creates an unnecessary hoop. And run by more than one person? God forbid the management then.I disagree, having it managed by three four people would be easier than waiting half year for one person to update, because even if you start out excited and update the hall of legends every week, that's what's gonna eventually happen.

I'm quite certain that the thread will be updated at least once a month eventually, which seems fair to me. NAV is still new and hasn't gotten used to the responsibility. You can hardly cast him out thanks to that.

I'm not casting him out. I'm grateful for what he does, but It just seems like a much more efficient way to have more people working on this.
(build the quote pyramid :P )
I am formally putting forth Whisperwhip (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=142422.0) as a HoL candidtate, and not just b/c my personal Dorf had some great cameos. The author started the Fortress as a newbie (see; Sky Pig incident), and quickly evolved into something greater.
Once in the Hall, a thread can only be removed by 10 votes, author's request, or through evidence of foul play. I doubt this will come up, but I'd like to have precedent handy.
+1 to increasing the vote requirement to.. about 10?
Oh yeah, can I suggest that Abandoned and Finished stories be separated into different categories? It's a real bummer when one spends time reading all these amazing threads, and the ending is discovering that the OP never finished the story in the first place.
Votes added!
Adventures on Monster Island has been inducted into the Hall of Legends! *dadurrr*
+1 Whisperwhip
+1 Clobbermountains
After some careful scrutiny, I've realised that monk12 never added Adventures on Monster Island (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=101941.0) to the HoL, despite it having garnered enough votes to do so.Votes added!

I agree, otherwise without this being mentioned here I would've never found that absolutely amazing masterpiece of a thread. >:(I agree, otherwise without this being mentioned here I would've never found that absolutely amazing masterpiece of a thread. :'(

Which. Is. A. Friggin. Travesty.
I'm not one to fear-monger, but I do wonder whether we need a new thread - particularly with the new release right around the corner.
As somebody who's been stuck in this part of the forums for the past five years, it wouldn't make much of a dent to my life to manage the Hall of Legends as well.
I, however, would like to keep NAV as the keeper of the Hall of Legends
I'd support Immortal-D taking over. NAV's done a good job, but it seems pretty clear he'd like to stop.I too would like to keep Mr. NAV, who has done a fine job during his time. That said, I vote for Apiks, so now we're tied :P Also, the answer to 'rum or brandy?' was 'yes'.
should we spam post all the active forts? And we should also post in the various DF discords and ask Reddit.Spam is never the answer, and Reddit doesn't give a crap. Monk12 made a separate thread for passing the torch last time, I think that is the most sensible option for NAV.

Also yeah, please do not spam the active forts. The only reason the hall of legends is somewhat an authority via its list is because it's been endorsed by Toady One. Spamming forts will only damage that image. As always we'll simply wait for NAV.
I am not aware of all the candidates running therefore I am afraid I feel forced to abstain at least for nowThat is a good point - who wants to run?
I updated the Hall, but then I lost the post where I quoted all the votes and stuff. Clobbermountains was inducted, a few things were nominated, and a lot of things got votes.Armok-speed you magnificent toaster. Remember to try and party at least a little between classes.
Immortal-D Take the wheel!
