Ronustuth. RageFence.I remember this place. I found the old file sitting in my laptop. This was a fort that had been lost and reclaimed, and was built in the hopes that a certain migrant would show up. Though the fort was lost to FPS death and spontaneous crashing before the special guest could arrive. After its death, I had started a new fort,
but it didn't turn out well either.Anyways, it seems to be more or less the same as I had left it. Almost two hundred and fifty dwarves, with the majority being either skill-less peasants or children, and the rest being full-time soldiers.
The northern half is covered in blood and the southern half is littered with ruined ammunition, there are animals
everywhere, and the militia's training hall resembles a can of sardines. There is a small area to the east of the training hall, filled with restraints so that soldiers can train on captive animals. It's also filled with vomit, blood, and spent ammunition. There are standing grates which make up a portion of the wall for this room, so that others can see the soldiers attacking captives. One of the grates has a severed goblin arm stuck in it. It's been so long that it is just bones now. I like to imagine that it's flipping off everyone who passes by it, like some sort of final act of defiance on the goblin's behalf.
For the most part the artifacts are the standard boring stuff, plus a couple dozen named weapons. Though there are a few notable ones, such as a ruby coffer, a forgotten beast gauntlet, and one I like just for its name, a lignite earring called the Incinerated Lamentation.
The hospital is full of injured miners, and the waters in the first cavern carry the bloated bodies of the dead. There are at least two ghosts who are lashing out by trying and failing to take apart furniture in a dining room. They have been for years, but have never managed to break anything. The only ones who get put to rest are violent ones, and that usually requires them to maim someone first.
Not pictured: many, many more corpses deeper in. Also a pile of pond grabber beaks, for some reason. I assume they had been killed by a cave-in as well, and had completely rotted away.
Edit: I just noticed the human corpse. How the hell did it get down there?
There are three wells, and they are all nasty. Covered in grime, blood, and dust from cave-ins. Everything is constructed of jet boulders. That's terribly inefficient. The only ones who have their own homes are nobles and soldiers. For everyone else there is a small apartment like dormitory above the 'bar'.
The broker owns the bar, and has her own special rooms within it. She also has her own mead industry, with the hives sitting in a greenhouse right next to the entrance to her rooms. She tends to get stung a lot.
The chief medical dwarf lives in the hospital. I'm certain it's lovely, when you can't hear people screaming for their lives in the next room.
You can see the entrance to an underground well off to the left, with two statues by the entrance.
The manager has a small house next to the militia tower. The house also makes up a portion of the wall in the restraint room. She holds the glass furnaces, but that's about it. It can be seen in a few of the militia tower pictures.
The bookkeeper has an office next to the forges. That's about all she has going for her.
The captain of the guard has her very own area at the very top of the militia tower.
The mayor is an elf. She has an artifact ruby coffer and a display case containing an artifact carp bone shield. As a non-dwarf, she cannot make demands, which makes her an okay mayor. I don't think she can take jobs though, so I'm uncertain as to whether or not she can actually hold meetings or console angry dwarves.
I probably DFHacked her to become a member of my fort at some point. Since it is somewhat on-topic, I'll mention that Friendship cannot be enabled by default in DFHack or DFusion. An object file is missing, I believe. There may be a fix floating around somewhere in the DFHack thread.
Edit: I found a built green glass terrarium. It holds a single fluffy wambler. There used to be a werezebra in there. I'm confused.
So many idlers.
