Ahh, ill get working on the save when i can, might be 2 days before i can get any real work done on it though (I need to see what sort of organization gateivory needs before i can determine what needs to be done. I do have a legendary +5 organizer title for a reason)

Good luck and be careful. Trying to organize or make sense of the cursed hole in the ground that is "gateivory" is a task that has driven many dorfs stark raving mad. Being an organizer (+5) might be the worst possible job in the fort sanity wise.  It is like being an architect trapped in R'lyeh, a city full of non-euclidean geometry and eldrich abominations.
As CoC players would say, Roll a SAN check.

Not recently. Plenty in its alpha and beta states though. Anyway, that was just a stupid brainfart.

ah, its alright. I can also imagine that people who never played it doing the same thing.

Where did we even get a bronze minecart? Has someone installed minecart tracks in the fortress somewhere? I'd planned to do something with them during my reign but I never got around to it.

[saltmummy626]

naw, the minecart came from the dwarven caravan that I accidentally pushed off the bridge with the water tower before it fell apart.

So as far as dwarfing myself, am I going to be doing that myself on my turn or what?

generally, we've dwarfed ourselves on our turns if someone hasn't done it already. Normally we've tried to dwarf everyone, but some turns are so hectic and insane that there isn't time or people forget. If you want to get dorfed/dwarfed before your turn you can just ask whoever is taking a turn if they would be willing to do it.

[flame99]

Thanks, I was a bit confused.

Have you started playing your turn?

[Gulf]

Downloaded the save and played out early spring to see how things are going. When Gulf died, there were 80 dwarves at Gateivory, there are now 51. Also, 8 more drowned during the one month I played. The river now has a carbon copy/reservoir carved out below it, which water is actively flowing into, before being drained into the caverns. The reservoir is full of bodies. After watching closely, it seems these drownings are coming from dwarves going to pick up the goods at the partially-drained river bottom, but get swept into the gigantic underground cistern. In short, Gateivory now has its very own incarnation of Charybdis.

Not caverns. Aquifer. I was planning on draining it out of the map via fortifications (so it would drain exactly like a regular river) but the map border was soil and had an aquifer. Thus it drains into the aquifer and disappears. Since it just magically disappears next to the map border it won't cause fps problems.

The drowning (of which I'm pretty broud of if I might add) should (hopefully) end after the riverbed is dry and nolonger washing away the little buggers.

[MiceMiceMice]

Perhaps it would be best to temporarily forbid the items that all the dwarves are going to get. Not that a few drownings aren't good and all, but we want to have some dwarves left over for other things, like getting eaten by cave crawlers like building stuff.

[bp920091]

I will start within 36 hours (most likely 24). RL got busy, but is now not as busy, and my term as overseer of lakebones isnt quite done yet (should be done today though).

Also, ill incorporate the suggestions in this thread to stop drowning deaths.

Prepare for a lot of organizing in my turn!
