magma
If you can do it. I don't recommend obsidian production though, it's a finite pool.
needs more giant skull!
PS: if you two don't mind, leave housing to me, I'll make a nice efficient living quarters system the envy of all the realm.
Edit: Also, unless my flawless 20/20 vision fails me the current ruler built the housing right where the moat is supposed to go.
<despair>Doesn't anyone look at the big picture before smacking stuff down?</despair>
Abculatter_2: You notice that hill with the pyramid? It wasn't a hill originally. We dug that hueg moat around it. and it was supposed to be dug one level down still, so that it would be on level with the forest floor, leaving the pyramid standing on a mesa. The front of the pyramid was supposed to be filled with two layers of battlements. But do what you want. That's the spirit eh?
Curxador: I'll sign you up on the first available day.
Sure thing. Saturday ok for you?
EDIT: And by the way, the Party says that the cutoff point has always been on 22 GMT. Anyone caught claiming it used to be 21 GMT will be tried for high treason for spreading such obvious enemy propaganda. England prevails!
EDIT EDIT: Some updates. abculatter_2 is having some difficulty uploading the save, but it's coming. Marko, if you're listening, it's your call whether or not you'll wait.
Goddamn 56k, eh?
Anyway, you'll work it out. I'm off to bed.
Abculatter_2: Save uploaded yet? And be careful with those statues, they're original Nahkhs.
Fault: Sure thing.
Katsuun: Fault nibbed it first. First come first serve. Do you want Friday 12th? Or would you prefer to wait until week three?
(just barely got home from work, so you were quite safe :P )I pray for awesomeness, you are a member of the managerial elite
*cracks his knuckles and downloads*
let's get this bad boy up and running, shall we?
Now we just need to find a way to synthesize it.See, you start off a new thread on the boards and start a bloodline game. Then you call it something fukken orsum and go for the adamantite.
Have we found the underground river yet? I plan to reroute it into the demon pit...
You people and your plans. Haven't you learned yet?
Yes, but it's small and on the corner of the map. And there are probably plenty of crisscrossing exploration tunnels between it and the demon pits. It's also infected with all different kinds of [insert animal here]men and abnormally large underground creatures. Unless Marko has dealt with them...

That's why you route magma through it first!
Also, I'm available on the 11th, if that space is still empty.
I'll take the 11th.
but wouldn't they just eventually respawn?
We only have a finite pool of magma, it does not come back when used.

If only we could get it to rain magma, then it'd fill back up like murky pools do.
This place is awesome.Fixed that for you.
What about blood? is it okay if it's covered in blood? I'm thinking a great execution tower. And sure. Just show me in game pictures of his eyes so I can find them.
I simple started early since Yaddy was late, my turn is still the 5th though.Oh, now that I think it through,-take an extra day.
(OOC:Save still busy uploadingand abculatter_2 , I can't seem to build those aluminuim bar walls, sorry.)
Times are so bad, 'barack obama' solonzir was elected(mayor died?)!
My lack of knowledge of the levers killed off several more dwarves, as many were trapped outside.
*looking at the dffd entry title* I see. A month-old save? Or did you perhaps mean 5th of July?
6 levers that control bridges.*looking at the dffd entry title* I see. A month-old save? Or did you perhaps mean 5th of July?
Oops yeah, I meant July yes. And levers? What levers? ???
6 levers that control bridges.
still not sure on most of them, even with the notes.
the levers have far too many connections to use easily, and some appear linked haphazardly
Ty
The notes I made have matching symbols with the bridge they activate. I made a central lever linked to everything that was meant to be a fortress-sealer in emergencies (however, because you reduced the number of entrances to one, such a lever is now redundant). I then made a separate lever for each individual bridge, in case you only wanted one to go down/up. Although, I have no doubt they've been tampered with since my turn, and I don't know if they've updated/changed the notes accordingly.
Even if it's somethingsillyawesome like make a million cloaks.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I think he meant that you should make walls of aluminium bars :D
FLY WITH IT!
Hairline trigger morale is MUCH more "fun".
Hm.
WHERE IS THE SAVE?
AN HOUR LATE?
OFF WITH HIS HEAD
The giant 'worm' thing was planned to be a future cave river. Also, where is the death we were promised?
All of the goblins except one died to a single spirit of fire.
I would post it, but it's hardly worthwhile, you can't see anything for all the smoke. ALL of the siegers we caught.
I only killed 1 spirit of fire, but the goblin room can't have many more than one.
also, there was a second unfinished cave-in (the goblin room is sealed, I was about to do part of the path from the demon-lair.)

Oh, I thought you meant DWARVEN deaths.
I never did lock the door...yeah plus those wooden fortifications weren't finished yet
Make sure you don't have nested folders.
it should be ./data/save/SparkGear2/files, not ./data/save/SparkGear2/SparkGear2/files
Dibs on the statue.
EDIT: Wow, nice job there.
EDIT EDIT: Oh, and I see they've desecrated the cave river. To that I say:
NOW HOW DO YOU LIKE IT, BITCHES?
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
also, whats a good program to take screenshots? I'm tired of using "export local image" and then trying to find what I'm supposed to be looking at...print screen and paste in to paint for cropping? that's all I use
.... would using print screen show the windows of text to the right of the screen, where you make designations and read unit descriptions and such? If so, what button does that?
Alt + printscreen (found to the right of F12)
No cropping needed.
Abculatter_2: Needlessly complicated. Metal/stone pumps and the usual pump system will work just fine (you can steal my blueprints from here (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=33837.0))
abculatter_2: forge some metal pipes sections and giant screws. I think any metal will do. Also, it doesn't matter how fast or slow your pumping it, using wood in magma pumps is Bad Business.
wooden pump systemsFixed that for you.sometimesalways wear out whem used with magma
Or just flick "dwarves allowed outside" off, then back on after unpausing for a second. The party area is above ground so that will cancel itPhotobucket Site Maintenance
Maybe that has something to do with it?
Edit: Good and free the room and remake it to cancel the party
he party area is above ground so that will cancel it

Those poor mad pathetic dwarves! we must save them!
oh shit man I thoguth I had an extra day
I'll get right on to uploading it
EDIT: wait, do I upload the "world" thing from the save file? cuase that's what I did
I can't believe we've got people signed up almost to the 22nd turn.
Champions do a pretty good job if they don't melt.Actually, our champions still can't face it. I tested this (just for lulz), decking out our champions with as much adamantine plate as I could forge, and after half of our army ran off in fear, the other half was destroyed by 6 SoFs (taking down 4 of them) and it took militarization of the entire fortress to bring down the last 2. During the tantrum spiral that followed, another SoF appeared and pretty much demolished the fortress. 9 dwarves remained: 1 guard, 1 deathbringer, and 7 children.
MAGMA GEYSIRS!
That's because I mixed you up with abaclutter. I'm taking his turn because he's taking a break from DF.
Also, remains don't make miasma outside btw Crash.
On the one hand, sucks that my dude died. And you sure solved the lag problem...
On the other hand, sweet, fell mood. Don't see those very often.
STOP GOING CRAZY! STOP BREAKING MY STUFF! SHUT THE FUCK UP ASSHOLES! DAMN BABIES KEEP DROWNING! STOP DROWNING ALL THE BABIES AND GET BACK TO WORK!
Problem area number 2:
(http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww99/Demonic_Spoon/Dwarf%20Fortress/WTF.jpg?t=1244906606)
I have no idea what is going on here but who ever is responsible will burn for the idiocy.
On another note, are the dwarves still tantruming?
I'll just take my turn if nobody else is going.Go for it.
Because dwarves are stupid and don't throw things in it.bored you say? well about half the other people have had "fun" so far. Crack open the HFS and make some aboveground workspace?
Also, I got bored.
The king shows up whenever you strike adamantine so pretty early on I believe.And the kind wonders why he had to dress up as a peasant.
EDIT: After reading through the archives it appears he apeared at the end opf the third turn which was marko's, also if you wonder when he died it was during my turn, he finally went bezerk because he still didn't have a set of royal apartments..
Also, speaking of the deceased list, RavingManiac and I just died in the most recent siege. Instead of running to a nearby door and seeking shelter inside, we decided to be dwarves and run around in circles until the gobbos separated our major organs from our bodies.
EDIT: Just took a look at the map. Wow. Just wow. Crash, you know your stuff.
Although some aspects of the fort make me facepalm and wonder what I've helped create.
Why is my house filled with vomit.
A couple of things: I've set all non-colored stones except Rhyolite (our most abundant) to be dumped. I have been noticing a slight increase in framerate as the stone continues to melt away (unfortunately, I did some mining so it went back down again).
Fallout 3 maybe?
Let's not start planning SG3 quite yet. I want to clear this current list of players before that happens.
We just got to get rid of all this excess stone. The FPS will clear up after that.
At least I can say that I did the historic event of starting the cave river.
PS: Is Barbarossa Rushedroads, "Wise Guy" still alive?
Some of the peasants have been muttering something about killing the 'raving maniac'
Ah all is well then.
When I got home I was like "OMG NO INTERNETS. I gotta let them know I'm not online. Wait."
