Quote from: kefkakrazyQuoteHere we have Dortimus, the ultimate punching bag. For some odd reason, 2 entire squads went for her. After she fell unconscious, they all proceeded to break all of her ribs repeatedly for 2 ingame days before one of them headshotted her.
Terry almighty.
Those voidspawn must have been pro-life, to go after the Abortionist like that.
Quotes section. Now.
One thousand and fifty three female goblins? That's either bug or you were the worst back-alley abortionist EVER.
Honestly, random crossbow-based surgical experimentation is probably a step up when it comes to Mad Fool's ethical practices.
You misunderstand. Those are Goblin migrants, who have heard about the wealth of the fortress and have come to live in our cages/moats/arenas.
Murder-Machines, You aren't welcome unless you have had somebody inside you at least once.
So do we actually have any animals here, or is Murdermachines just the universe's biggest furry convention slash charnel house?
TalonisWolf, sadly the deathcount has not reached the thousands yet. We are at 782 right now.
Fun fact: About 1/7 of all deaths that occured in Murdermachines have been caused by the void god.
Can we be dorfed without running a year?
If yes, I'll take the milita commander.

Of course! The more dorfs, the better.
Just remember, all dorfs are playing the Body Surf game. We're basically ghosts that keep snatching bodies for fun and profit.
Alright folks, time to begin world gen.
I'm going to include a custom, hostile race in this version. Be warned, they are extremely potent.
I'm also going to be placing us down in a hostile land. There's so many possibilities in this new version and it's Deathgate's job to break them all.
Hey, why am I missing from the succession list?same... :-\
I've made a post somewhere here, please check it.
Voidspawn? Is that the surprise or a dwarven civilisation?

Alright ladies and gentleman, site selection has begun.
Currently selection criteria is as follows.
- Flux Stone
- High Metal Variety
- High Savagery
- "Voidspawn" Civilization access
- Evil Biome
- Magma Access
Interest was expressed in an aquifer in the Deathgate thread. However these criteria are up for debate, so most your suggestions for a site.
If a valid site cannot be found, the world will be regened with advanced parameters.

Curse you internet, and your failure to include a snarky sarcasm font!
So does Deathgate II have any major goal besides "survive the voidspawn?" I mean we already colonized hell.
Ooh! Get voidspawn INTO Hell!
The only thing that saddens me is that the next DF version is too far off for us to have waited for it; the fact that Deathgate I effectively died a slow death by starvation deeply saddens me. We need the world to be filled with rampant boning in order to produce theexpendable slave labormeat puppets we need.
If, for some reason, Murdermachines dies quicker than Deathgate (which lasted 19 months by the way), then we'll settle Deathgate III into an evil, savage biome with voidspawn access and evil rain.
If, for some reason, Murdermachines dies quicker than Deathgate (which lasted 19 months by the way), then we'll settle Deathgate III into an evil, savage biome with voidspawn access and evil rain.
So, if we fail faster here, we throw ourselves upon our own swords in the manner of the ancient samurai and restart somewhere where we're even less likely to survive?

1.Give the voidspawn flippers + Mod the game so you can embark in the middle of the ocean.

But of course. What else we could possibly do?
EDIT: Some questions about the voidspawn. Are they supposed to look insectoid because of the ant/bee like caste system? Are they laying eggs?
Hell, I'd love a dorf on this.
Name him "Dortimus" And make him a disgruntled soldier, stuck doing menial tasks such as leatherworks.
Speaking of, Do voidspawn drop skins to make leather? Or any other resource that we're able to use to equip Murdermachines?
My name is Fearbreaker.
Looks good otherwise. I'd write a journal but my computer is borked and this one is completely terrible.
I hope they aren't intelligent enough to make real weapons or such. I think it's a bit silly when there's some sort of "God race" that's better in almost every way, including intellect, and yet still occupies the same realm as any other sentient race.
They can craft weapons though. But I honestly can't say what level of metal they'll use. I believe they can use iron and bronze, perhaps even steel. But I cannot say if that works as intended or not.Oh. aaaaaw snap, this sounds worse than Holistic's spawn.
Their genders are a bit wonky and they're too small. But they are deadly. My only con-HAVE TO DRAW. WHERE PAPER?Quotetoo small. but deadly.
For reference, the overlords have a size of 360,000, about 6 times the size of a dwarf. However they're still smaller than a horse, which is 500,000.Their genders are a bit wonky and they're too small. But they are deadly. My only con-HAVE TO DRAW. WHERE PAPER?Quotetoo small. but deadly.
This is Phoebus pack right?
Also I suggest the next overseer to quickly brew some drinks! (if I am allowed to)
When will the Voids start attacking?I guess it works similar to goblin sieges, but what do I know?
I hope not, the more blood and guts the better.Unless a repeat of the boatmurdered village occurs. Voidspawn and Goblin, living in peace outside of the fortress. Only instead of elephants and Gobbos, its the voidspawn with the gobbos.
It would be very awesome if the goblins and the voidspawn siege us at the same time, all we need to do is lock our doors and let them greet each other with some good ol' violence.
I am now questioning my choice to be a marksdwarf.
Aw, who am I kidding. Death and glory!
so Deathgate meets Spearbreakers?OH MY. and thus i shall now alert SpearBreakers.
How would that even work?

The Journal of Saint, High Overseer of Murdermachines, Master of the Void-Wraiths, and Templar of Armok.Sweet, mud! Who wants some mud rum? It tastes like rum, but it's earthier and more filling! It's actually just dirt and water, don't tell anyone.
GRANITE 7, YEAR OF ARMOK 252
Some blighter named "Space Cat" was exploiting a loophole in his host's contract to let him get away with "storing an item in a barrel, sir!" as his sole mode of gainful employment. Fuck that, I said to him. You're on rum duty now. Hope you like mud.

Again they put me to work digging. Don't get me wrong, I was fine as long as I only had to feed AnimeRytak's ego, now I'm feeding the rum obsession of some nutty overseer who thinks that rum is the only priority and fails to see the value in wine. Now we're missing the grand stockpile and I'm expected to dig out more rooms.So. Much. Sad.
And in case no one else volunteers I'd like to give my turn to InsanityIncarnate.Thankyou, good sir! I promise not to be a total moron and forget it this time!

"Dead" does not even begin to describe what is going to happen to us. We let the corruption in, and we shall pay with what is left of our souls. So, the price will be relatively cheap, actually.Oi, remember who we got defendin' the place, eh?We are so dead. Again.

Do military dwarves get strange moods?
The raws aren't duplicated - The tilesets just change the art for the pieces. If you have LNP, you can update the savegame to the tileset. Or lack thereof.No you can't, that does not work on modded games because LNP does not preserve the modifications.
.7z format? What are you, a barbarian!? We civilised people use .rar...you mean .zip?
Insanity, one favor, since we never got confirmation on it:
Please verify that we do have a marksdwarf named Krosan II and a baby dorf named Lashidang in the fort right now, I have no clue if Saint got around to it.
Would appreciate, for the sake of curiosity, a screen of Krosan II's details page to see what kind of antisocial prick he is.

I would assume you can go ahead and redorf him if there's free bodies after everyone else who hasn't been dorfed yet gets one. We could probably do "automatic" redorfing since we have the Dorfinator list to show who needs it.

Indeed. The whole idea of the lore excuse of body-snatching was to encourage re-dorfing of every character.
So whenever someone dies, redorf em!
Why are you sorry? Knowing Deathgate's history, that probably the best possible fate he could have hoped for!Also, did the goblins get my dwarf's kid, or is he still in the fortress?Uh. I'm pretty sure your kid was taken by the goblins. I'm sorry.
Also, why are there only three babies? My forts get swamped with so many migrant children (yes, I set the child cap low) that I decided to rename them in the raws as "dwarven booze sponges".Dwarven booze sponges? That's certainly an accurate description of them.

I have a tendency to not do dorfings. Sorry.
Anyway, I should probably post an update, but that would require me to tear myself away from my wonderfully enjoyable physics homework and play a rather slow game of DF.

A dwarven golf.
Nah. hobbits have wooden balls they use for that.Unless they're a Took.
Hobbit thieves?Like I said, you'd never see them. :D

So, should I just download the old save and work from there, or do we have another save to work with at the moment?Well, mine's corrupted. So you're stuck with the one ~10 pages back.

Yeah, it was established during Insanity's tenure and he never did anything with dorfings for the most part. So the dorfinator is out of date.Yes, of course it was established during the fort's existence.
I knew the failure of the cat sacrifice was a bad omen. Did you ever complete it, Insanity, or is s/he still wandering the halls?The cat escaped. It was wandering the halls, last I saw.
Microcline??? NO WAY!!!I knew the failure of the cat sacrifice was a bad omen. Did you ever complete it, Insanity, or is s/he still wandering the halls?The cat escaped. It was wandering the halls, last I saw.
And then... my new sacrificial tower was never completed, sadly. Maybe Armok doesn't like rough microcline block constructions, and cursed us appropriately?
Wait, there's a quote in someone's sig that I have seen somewhere that fits this perfectly. I'll put it here when I find it.Microcline???

Lashidang hates hamsters. Huh.Raptor is dead, I believe. He was definitely dead at some point in my turn.
I was "missing?" Does that mean you just ran out of dwarves to dorf? If so, that is rather amusing.

Jables is still alive, yes?

Make it impossible to escape from and put a minecart-repeating menacing spikes down there. That'll kill everything.
Please let Malach smooth the tomb's walls and floors, I want him to become a legendary engraver as quickly as possible.
Besides that, I like that Bulborbish is fixing stuff, delaying the inevitable chaos for some while.Oh no, this is just to make things more orderly until I can build my own resource intensive project.
Fortunately, we were able to dispatch of him in a timely manner before he escaped, in part due to the excellent shot from the Mad Fool, who disabled the Thief before he could get away.Huh? Is the Mad Fool in the militia? Pulling double duty as our doctor?

Hi
Loved these two fortresses, so can you sign me up for a turn and dorfing please?

Can I be dorfed as bookkeeper or broker please? Or a miner if they're not available.

You've got it wrong mate. The shoebeating started after I had sealed off the fort, didn't really matter as the dwarves were migrants. +The military had copper/iron armor.The fortress has really gone downhill since my tenure.I don't think, there is any other direction this fortress can go.
Also, beaten to death by a freaking silkbag? I thought these things didn't happen since the times of spinning xXPig tail socksXx.
By bare hands, one dwarf by a cloak, and the rest (ten or so) by a sheep wool shoe.
The voidspawn wasn't even using the silk bag as a weapon.
Christ, I don't even know if those military dwarves were armored, though I doubt it.
Not sure if I want a turn... I have never played a succession fort, or anything this suicidally deadly.
...or does this make me a perfect candidate?
I uh... um...Pshh! This is Deathgate! Nothing's too badass for Deathgate!
I think I made the voidspawn a little too badass.
As founder of Deathgate and Murdermachines, I authorize the use of danger rooms to combat the voidspawn.
Dun dun DUNNNNNNN!
On the upside, don't voidspawn have a custom syndrome? If so, on the upside they're so deadly that nothing appears to have survived long enough to show signs of infection.
I uh... um...
I think I made the voidspawn a little too badass.
So what you're tellling me is that on the slim chance that we manage to raise a military capable of fending off a voidspawn ambush, much less siege, it's entirely possible that the survivors will be ticking time bombs? Oh lawdy.Use them for marksdwarf training.

Whoop, fixed.
We will build expansive ballista batteries. It's grossly inefficient, difficult to set up and more likely than not to end up in multiple friendly casualties. It's the dwarven way.
It's quiet...
Too quiet...
Please tell me Terry hasn't found a way to shunt voidspawn into the real world...
That's it. I'm thoroughly convinced at this point that we have managed to release an actual eldritch horror and that instead of coming for the game, he's coming for us.
Slenderman, thy name is Terry.
Well, nobody before him with the exception of the founder has completed a term yet.Wharrup.
Nope, that's just the Deathgate Madness warping reality itself. We call the madness Terry and scold him whenever reality breaks.
Bad Terry, bad!
Terry is the madness.
It comes from a quote from the original Deathgate thread:Nope, that's just the Deathgate Madness warping reality itself. We call the madness Terry and scold him whenever reality breaks.
Bad Terry, bad!
Aren't you afraidDon't be such an elf. It's the Dwarven way to lose many expensive pieces of equipment and go into tantrums when you lose them. It wouldn't be a deathgate WITHOUT losing a few computers.
Ahahahaha. Terry came in the form of a surprise spring break. I totally forgot that was happening last week.
You can either skip me or I can just start my turn some time tonight.
Yeah, the duck-o-tron was... interesting. I'm sorry I disassmbled it ;)Not sure if I want a turn... I have never played a succession fort, or anything this suicidally deadly.
...or does this make me a perfect candidate?
My very first turn on a succession fort, ever, was really late in Deathgate's life cycle. I accidentally breached our hellbunker twice, built a machine to automatically breed and deploy ducks INTO HELL, and wound up losing something like a third of our fort's population in a time when the fort had outlived the entirety of dwarven civilization and was no longer receiving migrants. I spent a good hour just figuring out how things were laid out and halfway through my year was still finding half-finished buildings, chambers, and such and boggling over what use they may have had. Demons breached the fort twice, melted all the silver furniture in a previous overseer's hell bedroom, infected the entire fort population with blistering demon sickness, and torched our hell booze stockpile. And several military dwarves died, too, but that's about par for the course for Deathgate.
Short of a voidspawn ambush party getting through the gates and beelining for the stockroom containing the fort's entire supply of food, drink, and cuddly puppies, there's not a lot you can do to raise the bar.I... apologize. He went to play with the ... what was it, a Dung Beetle Demon or somesuch?
Except for the guy after me, who let Tiny Tim get killed, of course.
And regarding the syndrome-inducing, neigh-indistructable, silk-bagging and shoe-beating voidspawn: BRING 'EM ON! We ate delicious hellburgers in DG, I wonder what we will do with / to the Spawn of the Void... *rummages through stockpile for knife and fork*

Yeah, must be a common name... (glares at imagination)
Anyhoo, can I grab a turn?

I went with the name since my initial idea was to have voidspawn be formed by the souls of dwarves cast into the void by our body surfers.
Then they turned into some insectoid locust and I just kept the name.

He sent me buckets. Buckets and self-transmogrifying children.
Good luck, PG! Watch as humans are now flying magma-pigs. And voidspawn teleport through walls.*Shivers and hides under bed*
@peregarrett: In this world, WE are the bogeymen. I mean, we crawl in from the void, possessing people and make them die horribly. Voidspawn are boogey-boogemen. Quadratic boogeys, if you will.
Or tragically misunderstood champions of the light, here to bring us to justice.
What a shame.
1.Why does our military consist of 4 squads with 7 dwarves total?
2.Why do we have a stockpile full of nestboxes?
Those questions are driving me mad.
"A Goblin and A Bucket. What's the difference? What's the use?"Ha ha ha! This was awesome!
I took a gobbo corpse from surface stockpile and a spare bucket. Put both on the table, and spent a whole hour or two in constant speech and demonstration.
Main points of that were:
- Buckets are made from wood or metal. Gobbos are from flesh and blood and bones.
- Buckets are hollow and have a handle. Gobbos lack handle and usually full inside. No, lil'girl, THAT is not the handle. Your mom will explain you what it is. Later.
- When a baby runs with bucket on his head - it's not the same when gobbo runs with your baby in the bag.
- When you build a well - don't tie a gobbo to the chain. Ok, you actually CAN tie a gobbo to the chain and dip him into well, but that's more the zoo than the well.
- When yuo need something to store water or something - choose bucket. Yes, you can fill a gobbo with water, but you'd never want to drink from him.
- When you kick the gobbo - it's not the same when you kick the bucket. Though, sometimes, those phrases are equivalent.
- More to discuss.
Just we lowered the gate, everyone run for socks left outside. And met kobold ambush. Shit.

Hmm...Ah, that's what you use sort for. Couldn't come up with why would you need to sort dorfs by any of columns, but you have the point.
My only qualm with the new layout is that it's unsortable as-is. Can we have the forum name repeat on each line instance of the dorf rather than using merged cells? It'll look a little messier, but then the spreadsheet sort function won't be broken.
It seems small, but I found it a huuuuuuge help when trying to sort out the deaders/undorfed from the living.

I'm ok with repeating host's name for each dorf.
HELL YEAH! I DORFED !!EVERYONE!!A single tear is rolling down my cheek. I didn't know such a thing was possible.
That took two hours of stuffing Dwarf Therapist back and forth. I now envy those children who grew to become goose.
Will post screens and such later.

A speardwarf you say? This could be interesting...Huh? It it possible to double-wield weapons? If I add both to uniform, won't your dorf start constanly changing them?
(So that makes swords, darklight blade, flails, scythes, cannons, omnigauntlets and now spears...)
Give him two please. I might arpee a bit later.

Final blow that finished the beast belongs to Baelor the Malevolent. His kill count now consists of - voidspawn thief, a donkey and sauropod titan. Good job!Holy dammit, Baelor seems to have possessed quite the badass!
Oh fuck!...
So, reclaiming time? :PLet's see what Baelor has to say to that.
And now, a moment of silence for all those dwarves of Murdermachines, tragically put down by two nastyass lasher demonspawn.It's suspense time! I made a break here.
So, reclaiming time? :P
Unfortunately too late. But if those two creatures destroy our military, next who they meet will be elves.Oh fuck!...

Is it possible to pit them against the elves 'by accident'?
The voidspawn nudity issue is known to me. However i don't believe it can be fixed on existing worlds.Just give them whips for arms. Problem solved (?)
It's the one thing keeping them from being overpowered.
I'm actually fond of the idea of the voidspawn not innately wielding weapons. They clearly have weapons skill; will they grab weapons as they score kills?
At any rate I like the idea of being able to set up pillboxes and shoot at them; Murdermachines looks like it may more or less degenerate into the most awesome tower defense game imaginable.
A voidspawn's first words upon arrival:
I NEED YOUR CLOTHES, YOUR BOOTS, AND YOUR MINECART
Except it would sound like a shrill scretch of hate and rage. Followed by face eating.Sounds like the average girlfriend on her period. Wouldn't know, personally.
One kill to Rokenzan! The music begins to play!Your dorf applied old anti-vampire techique in a modern way. A wooden stick straight in the head! And it worked.
What the hell?! How have he got out?!
Now we have no choice but charge!
Voidspawn bites are nasty as hell.
Just as I intended.
Well Thaddeus is dead again...after being beat to death with a sock. Whelp, slap a number 3 on the end of the Fail Saints name and redorf away!!! Tallyho!
Can the demons be used to the kill any voidspawn? Or vice versa?I guess it's true: When a Bay12 member encounters a problem he'll just use it to solve another one. Or kill something.
Hehehehehehehe....
Slate fools!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
I tricked you all!
But idea of sending demons against Voidspawn fills my soul with tender warmth... I think, YES!!! That's quite a project!!!
In seriousness, what's current fort status? Do you really have magma forges set up? Have you really found adamantine?Yes, we have a spire rising from caverm lake, and another in the magma sea. Everything was true except adamantine mining and demons.
Hehehehehehehe....
Slate fools!

Do voidspawn thralls get the funbites too?
And that was a damn good trick peregarrett. Well played good Sir, well played.

I still wonder what happens re: voidspawn and demons.
If demons can be thralled, that would possibly be the funniest thing ever.
Anima, your words are going across the screen, but try as I might, all I can see is "we must build a bunker filled with captured voidspawn and dump them on the demons!"
Like the DUCKOTRON, except even more fun! This is something I can get behind.
DUCKOTRON, except even more fun!
I think something is more fun than the DUCKOTRON!
I'ma go hide from the inquisitors now.
Wow. Voidspawn are badass. That syndrome... how long did it take for Maxwell Edison to transform after the bite?Well, he transformed half-way to the hospital. I guess if it takes ten times longer - the post-transformation effect would cause much more FUN.
Oh, and @ slate-fool: *claps hand* well played. Now dig deeper!Thanks, I'm honored. Yes, I definitely will arrange the clash between Voidspawn and Hellspawn. Or set up The Arena at least.
Am I dead yet? If so, I request kindly a re-dwarfing.Huh? You aren't in Dorfinator, and I don't see your request. Add yourself there!
Also this is turning out to be as awesome as I'd hoped. I can't wait till I can open this bag of worms and write a big thing about it.
You misunderstand. Those are Goblin migrants, who have heard about the wealth of the fortress and have come to live in our cages/moats/arenas.Who needs goblins when we have Voidspawn and Hellspawn? Screw them, I don't have time for that now.
You think they invented the Giant-Cave-Swallow-O-Tron? Oh Gods!
crow men, thrips men, mantis men, moth men, mosquito men. Mostly that stuff.You think they invented the Giant-Cave-Swallow-O-Tron? Oh Gods!
Speaking of Giant cave swallows. What kind of wildlife do we have at the fort? I don't recall ever reading what populates the wilderness.

Oh god the crowgirls...Who asked for crow girls? We got a few
So do we actually have any animals here, or is Murdermachines just the universe's biggest furry convention slash charnel house?(http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/2852/wilds.png) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/541/wilds.png/)
Lets make a crowgirl love pit for our visitors! Give them a proper body invasion course for integration into the fort!Well.. actually, we have only three crow MEN left. Crowgirl got her "treatment" with exceptional iron mace, after a few hours of chasing.
Murder-Machines, You aren't welcome unless you have had somebody inside you at least once.

Jabberer gibs? The pit works? My baby is functional? :DI fixed your pit - made the shaft wider, so falling creatures don't skid along walls slowing down.
It seems that my microcline Voidspawn atomizer gate has been walled shut, though. Very well, I suppose...you guys can deal with the plague-ridden unholy half-dwarves the old-fashioned way, I guess...
And good turn :)
Most of you probably know, but Age of Legends means that megabeast killing has reached a threshhold. Somewhere a beast or five have been slain.It must be snow quadruped beast that was killed by olm men. I guess whole world is frozen when the Fortress game is in progress, so no game-simulated adventurers killing beasts on the another world's edge.
It's the GE OF LEGENDS!?And then we can have the messiest beserking and tantrum spiral of all time.
Sweet Jeebus Wibbly hook up the flying machines. Someone send an emissary to Lews Therin right friggin' now so we can make him our king.
Then Anima can bodysnatch him so we have a vessel powerful enough to smite the voidspawn once and for all.
(wheel of time yay)
I can't help but notice that you labeled the buttcheeks "V" and "H". What does that stand for? Or were you planning on adding more?For Voidspawn and Hellspawn, obviously. Each team gathers at its hall and then the bridge is lowered.
This.Guess I can take my turn now, even though I can be too busy at times.
This is amazing.
But I don't think I can take my turn now... can I be next?
Aha, that's how those bridges are supposed to work. I was curious what are they for. But they were walled already.
What if the hellspawn just flies over the moat?I can't help but notice that you labeled the buttcheeks "V" and "H". What does that stand for? Or were you planning on adding more?For Voidspawn and Hellspawn, obviously. Each team gathers at its hall and then the bridge is lowered.

Tosid's mood was finished, she's now a legendary weaver, and she's on a repeated hematite smelting duty atm.
"I am a Legandary Weaver! Nobody handles cloth like me"Sigged, if you are fine with that.
"Yeah, that's great. Hey, are you done? If so, we need to smelt this ten thousand large load of hematite. I'll see you next month."
"WHAT AN OUTRAGE! I AM A LIVING LEGEND! I SHOULD BE WEAVING"
"That's nice. Tell you what, pretend you are weaving metal out of this ore. Now get to work."

Any word on a danger room?Screw danger rooms.
But what do we do with our thrall army after the clowns are dead? If they convert the demons, we'd end up with another, worse problem than before - and I have absolutely no faith in the possibility of a scenario where the voidspawn fight the demons mano-a-mano and lose after inflicting enough casualties for our untrained immigrant militia to finish them off (i.e. the ideal scenario)

Simple. If the Voidspawn win, they're vulnerable to magma, right?Somehow, I don't think that will work the way you intend.

No, it's simple. We set up a magma cistern connected to the Arena, then, in the event the Voidspawn win, we dump magma all over them. They should melt.

With MAGMA! This guy has the right idea!
I'm sure someone will eventually manufacture a danger room. Until then, we'll continue to enjoy massive casualties.
I submit that we should totally wait until we have like a hundred untrained stray dogs set up, plus a breeding stock, and dump the dogs in with captured voidspawn that we plan to send against the clowns. Gotta stock those bugs up with thralls, make sure we have a nice army of the freaks before we open the circus...

Which actually makes it even more scary.
What about a giant magma cannon shaped like a skull?The current above-ground fort looks kinda ugly, someone should polish it up. By the way, who started building that tower?
With eyes that ooze magma and a mouth that leads to the fortress.
And a sign that says "Elves welcome. No really, we mean it."

Voidspawn are immune death due to drowning, decapitation, and dismemberment.
They are vulnerable to bleeding to death, although they are rather resistant, and glory of magma.
Stinky goblins. Check my nose for bad injuries, that'll need a lot of nicely scented soap to heal.No need to worry beyond this. Your dorf just had a light bruise in his stomach. He's now completely unwounded.
If I survive the exposure to such nauseating odours, I'm going to ask the overseer for a light civilian uniform and a dagger for self defense.
Voidspawn are immune death due to drowning, decapitation, and dismemberment.If you change their tissue material's melting point above magma temperature, I think they become immune to magma. Resistant, at least.

My bad, voidspawn can't even be stunned! I can imagine how we'll bring hellspawn there, just sacrifice some useless peasant in the adamantine spire, but voidspawn? Getting just ONE voidspawnWith just chaining some spare dogs at the arena, and opening the access
there is gonna be harder than getting those 100 war dogs in. All of them.
You...the farm patch...the rum! :o What have you done with my beautiful rum distillery?You misunderstand. We have zero plans to brew those mushrooms into "dwarven" wine. We need FOOD! FOOD! FFOOOOOODD! Too bad plump helmets are the only cheap source of food. We keep with the sweet pod brewing as promised, our Templar. We just need cheap FOOOOD! :-[
Plump helmets?
Peasant food?
You monster! :'( YOU HAVE DEFILED THE HOLINESS OF THE RUM DISTILLERY WITH FOUL MUSHROOMS!

Look! Feed stock for our captive Spawn! Release him and let him have his way with these invaders, and we can capture them later for the arena.Wait, 1 voidspawn vs. more than 50 goblins and jabberers. Won't the voidspawn just get killed? ???

The caged one was a thrall though, wasn't it? Time for some !!applied science!!
Do thrall bites transfer the syndrome?
Another wereape? Same name? Same appereance? (kinda makes sense)Thanks for the laugh Yuli. I compared my wereape with the one from Saint's turn. There have EXACTLY the same description. With the sole exception of their last name. Both's eyes glow mahogany. Both have Alu as their first name. Both have sandy taupe hair that is long and shaggy.
How many are there?!

Has anyone ever played Fallout 2?Spoiler (click to show/hide)
What does it say about our fortress, when two top priorities are "Kill the wereape (which I'm sure we already killed once)" and "expand the crypt"...
Worse comes to worse, we steal another fort.What? I feel dishonored.
I have a side project bubbling for this...GLITCHES ONLY.
You know, one of the best things to come out of Old Deathgate was the Red Monster Sword. Any hopes that someone will quietly tweak in something similar? 'Coz that'd be awesome.
A few tests done in the arena in preparation for my side project:
A naked voidspawn soldier with no skills can solo an elephant. They pretty much just fight more or less evenly until the voidspawn gets in a taint attack and enthralls the elephant. (In the arena, enthralling is broken in that the thralls are loyal to their original side and not the enthralling voidspawn)
A naked voidspawn soldier kept getting shoved into the flowing water by a giant. The giant managed to punt two individual soldiers consecutively into the water before the third murdered him.
A naked voidspawn soldier got obliterated by a great white shark. When I remembered to actually give it swimming skill, it actually managed to kill the shark.
So, yeah, a voidspawn can fight an elephant by itself. Naked and unarmed with no skills.
F^*&.

I don't know enough about DF modding to know if this is possible, but...Would be. But it certanly would need to regen the world, so it goes for the next chapter.

What if one of their products was a void-heart made of a modded metal?
What if we could collect void-hearts and forge voidsabers and voidplate for our military?

Jesus Flipping' Void-Eating Christ.
I spawned an Overlord into the arena with Grandmaster combat stats and full steel gear, to fight against dwarves wearing same.
The voidspawn overlord just won a 1v4 against Grandmaster axedwarves with steel gear.
When it started the fight with NO FREAKING ARMS.
Scratch that, a 1v6, both against axedwarves and speardwarves... then a 1v10 against wrestlers.
I finally, FINALLY, managed to kill it with a firing squad of like 15-20 steel-bolt-armed marksdwarves, so it appears that Voidspawn CAN be brought down by massed archers if they can focusfire. The problem is the voidspawn show up with a bunch of thralls and such, so... mass-shooting the overlord seems unlikely to work.
Guys, I'm genuinely scared now, these dudes are hardcore. My takeaway is that voidspawn basically should not be engaged in melee without superior numbers.

Going from that data, I'd say even superior numbers would be extremely iffy. On a good day. When everyone's awake and at peak performance. With micromanagement as heavy as possible. Basically, I'd say stick with magma bombs and webbed cage traps and stick one of those Overlords in the arena single-handedly to face down the demons.
Wait, I have an idea. It'll take a while, but I have an idea. You know Dwarven Child Care? It's like that, but on an industrial scale.I am a sick person.
- Build a multi-layer residential area with one communal dining hall. The rooms should be at least great quality. Stick a bunch of nest boxes and as many fowl as possible. It should be designed as to have as little contact with the main fortress as possible.
- Using burrows, confine 10 or so dwarven children, five male, five female, into this part of the fortress.
- Let the children grow up into adults and reproduce.Insert new breeding stock if needed.
- When sufficent numbers have been achieved, say, 100 adults, recruit 10 percent of the able bodied population into militia. They will have developed combat skills from their time in the- let's call it the incubator.
- Train draftees with live action combat practice.
- Continue yearly harvesting of soldiers and training.
- When ten or so squads have been harvested and the voidspawn lay siege to fort, release soldiers upon enemy
Why not create a pseudo-pit bridge trap? Have them wall a rediculously long straight path, maybe 20 tiles or so, and place a pressure plate five steps in. By the time they file in, they've flipped the latch and are all trapped within a 1x20 firing field to be set upon by magma/archers/war giant mambas.No weaponised magma. FUN for the FUN god!
Minecart railgun as a wunderwaffe came up on some thread before the minecart update. I think the gist was that if you loaded molten objects into minecarts and then got them moving extremely fast, you could do massive damage to anything in the path of the cart.Wow, molten golden globs shotgun! Would it work if we first fill minecart with magma and then load it with golden crafts?

I get the feeling I should probably read the original Deathgate.
It is still absolutely mindblowingly ridiculous that one of the better lifetime demon kill scores from Deathgate I belonged to a freaking duck. I know I latched onto the stupid duck meme more than most, even to the extent of building the DUCKOTRON at great cost of dwarven life, but Darkwing the Netherfowl was absolutely one of the coolest emergent moments to come out of DG1.Wasn't there an art of Darkwing?
That, I think, is a major reason why I love DF so very much: those emergent moments are beautiful and brilliant when they happen.
Just remember that when dogs are infected by the taint, they grow fingers and beards and begin walking upright as thralls.Well, Murdermachines is

So, we contained the catsplosion only to have dogs dogsplode in our faces? Typical.
So, we contained the catsplosion only to have dogs dogsplode in our faces? Typical.
Well, at least dogs are useful! We can put them in cages and create some kind of dog landmine - the enemy steps upon a pressure plate, and suddenly a hundred starving puppies have latched onto their joints and are nibbling their tender bits. Cats only eat FPS and occasionally vermins.
Introducing a hundred units to pathfinding will cause a fps drop, I hope you realize.

In seriousness, though, the Microcline Anti-Raider Gate Extirpator (for the less technically inclined, that blue thing on the aboveground fort) could use some hooking up to a lever and opening as the death-gate I intended it to be.How is that thing supposed to work?

I saw Krosan kill two trolls without getting a single scratch. Then the next wave arrived. Puff just charged right into them, while Krosan was just standing there, staring at his death. I screamed 'RUN! YOU ARE NO LONGER BOUND TO YOUR SQUAD! YOU ARE THE LEADER OF THE MANLY RETREAT NOW! RUN!' He slowly turned around, smiling, and although he was far away and although spoke really silently, I understood what he said. 'Bullshit!'. He then ran after Puff, into the arms of death.
Of course someone would have to rebuild the military first. BECAUSE EVERYONE'S DEAD! :-[ / :D
That seems to be SOP for Deathgate.

Crap. Do I have to put myself in the dorfinator again? If no, get me on a pump gym. Once I am maximum STRONG, stick me back in the military.
It's probably worth mentioning that AnimaRytak is the only ecstatic dwarf in the entire fort.

Quick, check him for rum! The bastard's probably spirited some off to hislairoffice, to act as pleasant refreshment as his evil scheme unfolds!
So, sugestions to improving defence effectiveness:I'll let somebody else do that :P
- Constinue the curvy-trapped path further to the west - pave floor over that pond, surround it with walls and so on.
- Channel down next to ballista battery and make ramps there (looks like it goes right into finished goods stockpile, so some rebuilding should be made), ant then continue with long straight 3-tiles wide passage (can be surrounded with 1-tlie channels all along the way to collect ballista arrows that missed) with ballista battery at the turn. Repeat several times.
- Golden blobs shotgun somewhere in the middle. I think more realiable way to produce blobs is first load the minecart with golden toys and then submerge the (magma-safe) cart into magma. And then bring it to the launching position.

Take command. Lead your men. Hide in booze stockpile. Weep, and everyone weeps with you.I will finish the year in both Murdermachines and I willl upload both. I'd prefer the next overseer to take over the bloody mess the fort is right now but just in case the fortress dies because of tantrum spirals or something like that we will have a 'save' backup. *cough for people who don't like losing *cough. I will try to finish the farms in both realities but cleaning up the fort and getting a new graveyard up is more important. I won't be able to dorf everyone and I don't think we have enough dwarves to fulfill our needs. I didn't get a single migrant wave in the entire year and we are down to about 30 dwarves. We'll get through it somehow.
Wait, the siege destroyed itself? Voidspawn kill each other?Yes, I posted a screenshot of their corpses taking a bath inside their own blood and abyssal taint. Looks like we found a weakness. Any explanations Anima?

Urist, I've inserted you into the Dorfinator. And as a reminder to everyone, the Dorfinator is in the OP, and you should put your dorfing requests there. For the sake of convenience, here's another link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlSo5hVNJbAqdGUxNmw5dEFqVG91Nm1Jb2xKRk02NVE#gid=0
Yuli, quick question: Are we secure from above? What do I need to do to make sure nothing can get in, and what do I need to do to open back up if migrants show up?As far as I know nothing except flying creatures can get inside as long as you don't open the bridge or deconstruct some walls. For some reason the bridge was constructed in a way in which the closed gate looks exactly like the open one, so you have to pay attention to dwarven or enemy movement to figure out if it's opened or closed. The lever has a note on it and can be found on layer 90. There are two levers inside a room. The left one made of limestone opens the front gate. I have no idea what the other one does.
Quick question: WTF is this? It looks like someone had some mining operations going on in the caverns, but I've sealed those off as well to try to make sure we don't encounter any of AMBASSADOR's friends.This was supposed to be the former mayor's tomb/hallway filled with traps. I don't know what you sealed of there, but this layer is actually safe. The entrance to the caverns is already sealed of with a closed bridge. As long as you don't pull the lever on that leverl it should be fine.

The other lever controls the position of the bridge found exactly one level below the ground, just in front of the depot.Yuli, quick question: Are we secure from above?

Pretty much. At this point either i'm going to have to reset to the initial save or accept the fortress crumbling, because our already-decimated population has again been torn up.:(

Did you just accidentally the fortress?
Pretty much.
...Deathgate 3?Agreed!
...Deathgate 3?
Fine, but I want Cor'Daz on the reclaim! No, wait, no... make it the wave after.... pl0x...Deathgate 3?
Isn't that a bit hasty? We can still reclaim.

Oh Jesus, so Terry was really the void god? Manipulating us FROM THE ABYSS? It all makes sense.
As long as we keep kefka FAR FAR away from us, I think we'll be OK. He's far worse than terry ever was.

I fear not the voidspawn, the goblin, the kobold, or the Ambassador.There's also a Minotaur. I don't know if that changes anything.
For Terry is with me, and he is infinite.
Of course, I'm still sane.

So... We're just going to take turns attempting a reclaim?

Goblin lasher actually. Either was I was quite sad that a dwarf didn't kill him.
Christ almighty...how much did those stats cost? :o Did you even give the others anything higher than Novice skills?
Wait - a limbless, bleeding goblin? Can we keep him?
Wait - a limbless, bleeding goblin? Can we keep him?With at least 4 major arteries severed, I would imagine he bled out very quickly.
To be fair, lashers are one of the more scary things goblins can have due to how damage is calculated. If he was using a scourge, that's effectively a DF lightsabre, and a whip, well, that'll break any bone it touches.
A new final boss has emerged.We'd need Flandre Scarlet to stop that thing.
A Voidspawn Overlord Master Lasher has arrived!

If Voidspawn were working correctly, they'd be some of the most god damn frightening monsters in the game.
But since the fight in the nude, it's not so.

AnimaRytak cancels Play Dwarf Fortress; Too Drunk.
ALIIIIIIIIIIVE!
Though I'm not sure if I'm expedition leader or not. I think you may have mixed up the name translations for me and Puff.
And I'm not certain I want to know who I attacked to get "dabbling Biter"
Aw hell, how did that happen. I put in nick names in dwarf therapist and in-game. I switched em so you'd have a male warrior.
Yeah i'll have to fix that.
So we have a nigh invulnerable warrior to protect us.Send in the ducks.
How do we kill him off? He is going to die a painful and most likely embarrassing death, so let's get it over with.
Apparently, the game will only respect areas with a walkable path to the map edge for scattering discards. (According to the wiki at least)
Since the gates were locked and the fortress interior was well and truly sealed off, only the outside of the fort was considered valid, so the entire contents of Murdermachines was scattered over the outside of the fortress.
Also, Kobold Torturer? Nice.
So all the useful stuff for getting the fortress restarted is outside the walls with the voidspawn? Great...

There's not a damn thing out there more dangerous than the Void God. At this point the inside of the fort is probably more dangerous, because if one of the many ghosts haunted Anima into a tantrum there'd be no survivors.
Wahaha, farming. How safe.
I'm now somehow going to be the cause of all that fails because I go on break right as all the plumphelmets sprout and then go sour because my little graphical self managed to make it so only I could harvest the things.
"Haulin' this seed milord."
Is it to early to sign up to the end of the succession list again?
Back in the dorfinator! Ready for gruesome death!
Awesome, we are bouncing back! It also means that i have less fear of accidentally the fort. As long as I don't kill Timmy (again) and we are bringing back the duck-o-tron.
I guess the dorfinator will be continued and the poor souls that are on it will be re-dorfed at some point?

Basically. Priority goes to people on the new page (Murdermachines Reclaim). But should no dwarf fit, I'll redorf an old one from pre-reclaim.
Also, the more specific a request, the less likely you get dorfed. Anything more complicated then Gender-Profession makes it a hassle.
Not directed at you, I just see a lot of really specific requests in the list and I honestly just ignore them some of the time.

Er, that might've been the case originally (i'm not sure myself), but I've changed it now so that dwarves are previous overseers.
Yes. I wondered why my name is not in bold. Maybe the corruption of the farm plot with ♠ was the reason Aslod was not memorialized.Er, that might've been the case originally (i'm not sure myself), but I've changed it now so that dwarves are previous overseers.Well, if that's the case you missed Chimpanzee.

In case you can't tell, that's a llama. In the middle of our underground fortress. Why on earth anyone would keep a llama inside I have no idea, but I think I'm going to have harsh words with Dortimus about this one. I told him he wasn't allowed to practice on the pregnant livestock...
Your first guess was right. I know the hatch cover is useful, but I was hoping for a cool weapon. To be honest, when I saw him grabbing microcline I knew to expect something like this. I do like the platypus styling, though.
Not counting myself, these dwarves now have fresh bodies:It's so great to feel alive again!

28th Graniteyou've forgotten to add me into squad (that one which trains from time to time). My hammer demands some blood, that makes great effect on smithing!

Excerpt from To The Void And Back: The Saga of Deathgate and Murdermachines
-snip-
You do realize that having our military basically consist of one dorf at this time is a recipe for utter FUN right?I's not just AnimaRytak. The other squads spend pretty much all their time in the danger room or the archery range. That's where 1st squad's barracks is. Anima was closest, and it was the most...theatrical. Also, I think it bears mentioning that he didn't really go straight back up to his station. He went for a beer first.
Socks and sandals... the Void God does not approve of the elf's fashion choice.

So, apparently, somewhere on the planet that Murdermachines is on, is a book titled "The Voidspawn For The Beginning Practitioner". This scares me somewhat.

YES YOU HEARD ME, I'M NOT DONE LOSING YET
Well, I had a look at what our elven friends had the decency not to get too much blood on, and I found these two:Oooo! A giant spider! Free sil- WHAT!?! "Jumping spider?" No web? Kill the useless abomination! Burn it with fire!Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Yes, i've been dorfed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When do I die?Since these forts tend to be the incarnations of anyone can die (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AnyoneCanDie), I would say odds are good that you will die within an in-game year or two.
That's not training spear made by some friendly dorf! That's battle spear of elven creation, that's why it tends to kill everyone!Spoiler (click to show/hide)
So, let me sum it up - we got training room that randomly maims and kills its users, in addition to any animal stupid enough to venture in; Noodle has returned and is killing everyone he can lay his hands on and Mad Fool is chief medical dwarf.
Rock on, Murdermachines.
Also, I like that the danger rooms periodically kills someone! How else can it weed out the weak and unworthy?

It's not that it's useless, but it is the second artifact hatch cover made in a single year.
It isn't! It is very desirable.It's not that it's useless, but it is the second artifact hatch cover made in a single year.
So now we have TWO indestructible staircase coverings. I fail to see how this is undesirable.
Someone should probably do something about that spear...I meant to, but...ah, I have my reasons. The next overseer can fix it, it won't take too long.
8th MoonstoneIt was probably the wisest choice, really. Seeing as the Mad Fool is running our hospital!

So I'm led to believe my dorf died to mysterious circumstances. What's the word on that?
Hello,
sorry about the speed (or lack thereof) of the updates. The temperatures where I live started to climb all the way to 38°C (that's cca 100 °F for those unfortunate who use this scale) which is a point, where my termoregulation just gives up, so I play just in the evening when it gets cooler. I will post the entire summer when I have it.
Pun intended?*a joke about Scorching biomes that melt your fat off*
So I'm led to believe my dorf died to mysterious circumstances. What's the word on that?The only mysterious thing about you is that you are STILL ALIVE. Of course, you have compound fracture in one of your nails (infected) which keeps you in hospital, but you live nonetheless.
did I get any kills? could you post my logs?
Unless you are the nameless dwarf with proffesion axe-crazy, then you lie in a nice coffin.did I get any kills? could you post my logs?
So somehow after I killed the kobold I stopped receiving Emails whenever there was a reply. Anyways, can I see my dwarfs status?Strange. You are not amongst the living nor are you listed amongs the dead. I shall dorf you at next opporturnity.
Hmm...if it's alright, could I be re-dorfed? As Baelor the Healer, a doctor, please.Baelor? SAVING people? Pffffffffffffft. He will fuck the enemy up with yarn and a traction bench.

The void god needs armor, clearly. Losing our primary defense is a BAD THING.No worry, Baelor should make a really good surgeon. >:D
So somehow after I killed the kobold I stopped receiving Emails whenever there was a reply. Anyways, can I see my dwarfs status?I couldn't find you amongst the living, nor in our (quite extensive) list of dead. So, I'll redorf you at the nearest opporturnity. Also, final update later today.

There is a considerable lack of insanity in this fort. It's just your average succession fort so far. Deathgate was far more than that. Deathgate was such a hive of madness and depravity that a demon who tried to take control was horrified by what he saw.
The dwarves of Deathgate built the TWO of greatest perpetual motion machines the world has ever seen, and they only used them to power a single millstone.
One of Deathgate's greatest enemies was a deer whose guts were hanging out of its torso.
Deathgate was finally brought down by a god of madness the dwarves themselves created.

Well hell, my little dude did me proud, next overseer, make sure you rename my guy's profession (Chomper).. Looks like it might be in this reclaim, though there is a dead titan in the corpse pile.
Also, FB kill, is that the first FB kill of the fort? or is AMBASSADOR on someone's resume?
My dwarf appears to have good potential for crushing skulls with maces, yet she is just smelting stuff and cutting gems. What's wrong here?. My mistake, I assume, I tossed everyone who could fight into a militia at the beginning of spring. Somehow very few of them made it to the nxt spring. We need much more armor. Mybe smelting stuff is for the best

Murdermachines does not belong on page two.
There are some marked levers. And some even work as advertised.
There are some marked levers. And some even work as advertised.
Speaking of which, whoever set up the drawbridge that closed off the fort from the outside back around my turn: You're a jerk >:( Damn thing was impossible to tell if raised or lowered, so I wound up accidentally letting kobolds into the fort then accidentally sealing them in with me.
Notes? I wasn't aware that function was even working. Huh. I guess I just don't write notes to myself when I play.It helps when labeling levers. I usually colour-code them, but then... which magma vent does this red lever open again? The pressurized one?
I don't use notes either, so it usually ends in this.Notes? I wasn't aware that function was even working. Huh. I guess I just don't write notes to myself when I play.It helps when labeling levers. I usually colour-code them, but then... which magma vent does this red lever open again? The pressurized one?
Or just folow my lead, ignore the levers out of sheer terror as to what they might do, and keep the fort open 24/7 year round. Sure almost everyone I drafted into the squads ended up dead, but the dwarvves already militarized before my turn were tough enough to survive and kick ass.This. That, or have marksdwarves patrolling the area year round, to pincushionify anyone feeling like visiting.
Just pick your battles. the corner bend besides our ballistae is where you want to be meeting the enemy, ideally after theyve been shot at by every projectile in the fort.
maybe I sound a bit elfy, but dfhack has nice utility gui/mechanisms which shows linkages to this lever/bridge/floodgate/etc. Very useful when you come back to old long forgotten fortress. Or in cases like this.That does sound elfy, but I can hardly blame you for doing that.

Of course, now that I had seen them, the entire fortress had an idea how to get there. Hopefully they never would, and hopefully they wouldn't be told to. Two letters. V H. I knew not for what they stood.
Where the all might dicks did the fire come from man, don't yell fire and NOT tell us how it started!I just read this (it was the only post on a new page) and wondered for a moment what thread I was on.
Frankly, I'm not even sure if my computer can possibly handle Murdermachines, especially now that it's on fireI read that as "it" referring to your computer, rather than the fortress. Was kinda wondering why you were typing on a flaming computer instead of calling the fire department!
Voidspawn suddenly turning upon themselves for no real reason? Sponateous combustion during said turning on each other?Now we're cooking with gas! Or brimstone, alternatively. This should be a hell of a ride.
Guys...
Terry's back.
Now the madness begins for real. Grab some popcorn, 'cause things just got Fun.
Wow, this place is getting prettyfucked upgod damned beautiful.
So, if the purpose of Deathgate was to conquer the HFS, then would I be right in assumingMurderMachinesevery dwarf fort ever exists to wreck the surface?
So I finally got to download and play, and this is the first thing I see:I tried to reduce the amount of surface crap, but in the process of reducing a few ambushes and stuff happened, so I ended up ADDING more mess.

Holy crap, theres armor and garbage everywhere. The game runs at a silky smooth 16 FPS on average, getting as low as 2 at points.

From the Journal of The Mad Fool Enshalastesh:
Whispers in the dark....
It took me a long time, but my endeavors are slowly coming to fruition. I never before realized just how much I had been held back by the petty moralities of my fellow dwarf. Morality! Pfah! As if such sentiment was even relevant, given the magnitude of what I am trying to accomplish.
The Danger Room was quite a breakthrough in it all. I should have realized it sooner, but it took the collapse of the first fortress for the idea to truly sink in. Dwarves thrive in adversity. They grow strong with pain! The weak die, the strong survive and become stronger. That is nature. That is dwarf-kind! And so, whispers in the dark become the light of inspiration.
I had to dig deep to conceal my activities. They'll understand eventually, but the time for that is not yet at hand. The plan is simple, really. Begin early. Waste not a second of a Dwarf's life. And so they are refined, with claw and spear and fire. The children will grow amidst the wild dogs, and those that claw out from the ravening heap shall be strong by their very birth. And then they will be baptized. A baptism of fire, such that they will not fear the flames of hell nor the tips of spears, for their very skin shall be forged from the boiling blood of the deepest earth. They will train within a rain of blades, until they are nothing but hardened bone, steely muscle, and iron will. From twenty I will refine one. From a hundred will emerge five.
And then we will delve deep. They shall be clad in impervious adamantium, and in their hands will be hammers of purest silver. The red light of the molten depths will turn blue when reflected upon the axes they draw, and by that light the Voidspawn and the Demons and those blasted vermin kobolds will cower and flee.
They will be my Murdermachines, and they will know no fear.
Are you gonna use my supersoldier factory idea?
On a side note: Who thought to build the bridges such that one cannot see their state immediately? Crazy people... jeez.
The first death occurred. 'Plop' died of thirst, and thirst is worse than homesickness!
Is the Fail Saint still(somewhat)alive?
I have started playing dwarf fortress yesterday, is it possible for me to take a year with Deathgate? I'm a good writer, and will do my best to keep the fort alive as well as document this great tale!

Naw, really, place is a godforsaken mess to the point that not only have daemons of madness infiltrated the place, we're on a first-name basis with them. Not a one of us really knows what's going on; the surface of the fort is littered with a king's ransom in discarded loot and garbage that's better guarded than an emperor's vault by the fact that anything going outside the walls is summarily eaten by the spawn of the void itself. The greatest minds of a generation have bent themselves to building such projects as an arena for the ultimate battle between Hell and Nonexistence Itself, then left them untended to brew rum. The walls of the fort are tainted things that ooze mighty monsters like poisonous blood. Our only hope lies in the living avatar of destruction, who occasionally hooks up with the ghosts of our fallen and leaves ruin and desecration in his wake. We are men who build entire self-sustaining perpetual-motion generators out of wood and rock to power single millstones. We are men who design monstrosities to paradrop waterfowl into the pits of doom.This needs to go to the OP.
So, what I'm saying is, you'll fit right in. Go for it, sparky.
Do a Boatmurdered and cover the surface with magma. No more garbage, at the very least.Except the magma-safe garbage.
Hey, at least it will clean up some of the mess. I mean, it can't all be magma safe.Do a Boatmurdered and cover the surface with magma. No more garbage, at the very least.Except the magma-safe garbage.
I also constructed a new entry bridge. It throws stuff but now I can actually see if it is open or close without having to think about the lever and its state!You derserve a medal for that.
We had a PATRIARCH show up?Guess... the VoidGod, of course!
Did it wander off or get killed? If dead, what got him?
Hey, gunpowdertea, how's the now-not-so-secret lab working?
My original intent was for Patriarchs and Overlords to be great death machines.Well, they still murder the hell out of people using their silk bags.
Imagine my surprise when they turn out to be snatchers.
And just a protip - do NOT attempt to salvage anything on the topside.
We barely control the inside of ourwallsheads. I wouldn't dare to declare control of anythingbeyond our gates.

Why would you ever stop yourself from saying "This fort is awesome"? :DSry, I was busy carving 'LIKES BANANAS' under 'SLOWPOKEZ'.
I just saw a guy with two broken legs push a minecart with a corpse in it. Yeah.Hell, I just have to sig this.
Murdermachines: We have treasures of the ages piled around the fort in heaps of rotting garbage and flesh. We've created a home for a malevolent deity of ill fortune who seems predisposed to strike at us, the players, directly, in a way not seen since the days of the Virtual Boy. Our riches are guarded, not by traps or dwarven steel, but by the fact that the surface around us is so full of the murderous, the insane, and the murderously insane that one group of looters merely gets massacred by a group of marauders, and that's before the horrible abominations against nature trundle through and decapitate and/or assimilate the survivors. We have seen kobolds become conquerors, seen the very walls fracture and crumble before unnatural misfortune and poor forethought, and placed all our hopes in a batch of tortured, soulless children and the literal avatar of annihilation itself, because every other God worth mentioning turned away from us in horror a long, long time ago. Our home is no more and no less than a beacon of slaughter, a living, breathing organism that eats life, drinks hope, and shits misery as every sentient race in the known world gathers here to offer their best and bravest at the altar of Terry.
Nietzsche wrote, "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friends, we are not he who fights monsters. We are not he who gazes into the abyss.
We're the thing in the abyss that's gazing back.
I am so god damn proud of you people.
I'm glad that my successor followed the tradition of dwarf mass sacrifice. >:D

I think Anima has put an unofficial embargo on any more of my posts making it to the front page, to avoid me becoming the front page.
Can't say as I'd blame him. Whenever interest starts to flag or starts to come back up I like to try to come and write one of these to whip you gents up a bit.
On a related note, I believe Mad Fool experimented on a demon in the most immoral way. This experiment has become known as the "Red Demon Sword"
I took a look at the save...I think I made this to expose... visitors to the air (how nice of me), let the marksdwarves practice a bit and the ... visitor ... then dodge to it's fate

Cave-in sacrifice over Soul Beacon
Strange rooms with - food stockpile blocked with iron grates, upright iron spears, magma flooding system, refuse stockpiles - a kindergarden maybe?Yup...
Arena is almost ready. Good.Well, we need some balconies for our populace to watch. Maybe put the "better seats" right where the action is. If you don't then I will when my turn comes around again... maybe put some chains in there so that the spectators don't interfere with the performance too much?
No Battery?! No Duck-a-tron?! UNACCEPTABLE!!!Build the LinDAc? I wanted to, but then I got distracted (I still wonder why...). I agree it is not yet the unmanageable mess DGI was in the end, but there might still be some older tunnels left from before the reclaim that never got patched up and are yet to be rediscovered... that kept me on my toes for a while. The BATTEREY will cause some FPS issues for me though. I only have a netbook to game on during my commute. Meh, whatever.
So, overall verdict - sweet, but not insane enough. Luckily, I have some ideas to improve it.

Also, peregarrett? The kindergarten is built near all that magma for a reason. Up to you to figure out the reason, though.An attempt to grow magma-proof children? Also spear-resistant and food-independent ones.
Yuli Vlasi, please don't sacrifice caged trolls. I just invented an awesome usage for them! Capture more, if possible.Got it.

I'm almost to afraid to ask...but how many nefarious, potentially !!FUN!! plans are you going to use those Voidspawn for, and how worried should we be?
Yeah, the animal stockpile down there takes all void creatures. The one closer to the top takes gobbos and stuff. I read somewhere that it is possible to consolidate prisoners into a single constructed cage, but I'm not sure I'd like to try that with the Horror from the Void...Also, as of end of my turn we had a sizeable stock of void thralls, what happened to them?

Second, is this just dwarven deaths or all deaths?

Ok, this is weird. I just started walling of some areas because somebody left them open to the caverns again when I noticed that my digging designations just started to delete themselves. Some of the tiles designated for digging started blinking and have a black dot in the middle of them. I won't replace them.
so, what's the current status of my dorf? I know he's alive, but I was wondering how skilled he's gottenLet me check... It looks like you don't even exist. I am going to redwarf you immediately. You are now Tryrar Ebalthob, milita captain and also known as Goremaster. You are female. A voidspawn drone and a thrall have fallen at your hands. And you have no friends. At all.
Hm. Maybe there's open space that has yet to be uncovered again?That is very likely.
Somewhere in the vicinity of the forgotten beast blood should be a microcline lever that operates the magma drain (the floor hatches). All told, the system should be safe, but I haven't tested it extensively on my turn due to time issues.
All told, the system should be safe, ...Oh. Sadface.
Uhh. I built half the damn thing, and I can't remember much. But, one level up is where you dump the kids and dogs in from. I think you can put the dogs in a cage, and then have the kid inside the day-care destroy the cage. No leashes necessary. The rest is straight-up torture. And fireproofing, if that still works.Yeah, I found that room. I just think that it's weird that the entrance to the room that was made to dump stuff into the childcare is inside the childcare.
Yeah, I did a lot of careful engineering to make sure no floods happened. Were that room anywhere else, the entire level would be covered in water. I think.All told, the system should be safe, ...Oh. Sadface.Uhh. I built half the damn thing, and I can't remember much. But, one level up is where you dump the kids and dogs in from.

updatus logisticus?Let's put it like this: I am realy slow right now, mainly because I am busy most of the week. I'll get you some real, big updates this weekend and I will try to finish my turn as quickly as possible.
(pardon my fake latin)
No, no, I think you missed it. Terry isn't the picture.
He's the grinning bastard hiding as two characters in the damned nose.
Yea thats my face actuallyBegone, foul beast!

You guys got an awesome goal like the last Deathgate? Will hell be colonized again?I hope so, that's why I am setting up farms and living quarters in our caves. We need to move our dwarves down there to be succesful in killing demons.
Is there an adamantine bunker being developed? I mean why make armor and such when you can develop buildings from it right?Well, we could make one out of soap and it wouldn't really make a difference. But in a way you are right. Why should we waste our gold on artifacts if we can build walls out of it?
Uhm. The forgotten beast got into a fight with some batmen and disappeared. But there still is a whole army of spawn and thralls out there. And. Uhm. We kind of are in a BIG trouble now. Because... Well... The Void God is the only one who immediately appeared when he wasorderedkindly asked to defend the fortress. At the moment our entire military is scattered around the fortress, trying to gather their equipment. And the gates are still open. Aaaaand.... The Void God was just standing there on his own for a few days. Maybe he got bored, I don't know. But suddenly he decided to hunt for small animals, because appereantly, he was starving. And because of that he... left his post in front of our gates. And charged right into a voidspawn squad. I repeat, on his own. And it looks like he got so tired from getting hit in the head by a mace, that he decided to take a nap.
TL;DR: we are so fucked right now.
And this guy is like 'nope.'.Some dwarves decided to retrieve the bolts the batmen used against Shedim. And now he's following them back to the farms.
(http://i.imgur.com/2CY3x0P.png)
That's the outcome of being so arrogant to leave all the defence on Void God.To be fair, I didn't. I sent everybody up there, Anima just arrived way before the others.
So did the Void God actually die or is he just napping in a warzone?DEAD?! Nonono, he's just taking a break from being alive.
Murdermachines Turn...

It is now your turn in Murdermachines!
You have until September 18th @ 11:59 PM EST to acknoweldge your turn.
It will be your last.
On the upside, I suspect we can look forward to a massively increased death rate among military dorfs, with plenty of lulzy stories for all.This is the third time I wiped out our entire military. lulzy enough? :P
One question - HOW in the hell did you manage to kill Void God? He survived five voidspawn while stark naked, I didn't think he could die.I have no idea. He kind of doomed himself by running into an armed voidspawn squad for no apparent reason. He was fully clothed though and he had his artifact steel axe with him. He even managed to kill half of his enemies (about five) before... you know. Maybe he got weakened by the bath he took with the cyclops?
So, now we must choose who will succeed the Void God's steel axe?I think it should only be wielded by somebody who is atleast as powerful or terrifying as the vg, but if you survive going to the surface it's yours I guess. Which brings us to the next 'problem'. We can't bury him without opening the gates and unless we engrave him a slab we'll have the honour of dealing with his ghost.

[ ... ] There's something wrong with the two lower screw pumps. Don't operate them unless you want to kill somebody.

Need more tea, cannot think at the moment nor write coherent English.
Am I the only one here that was waiting for the Void God to die?Uhm.

I think that we came to the conclusion that a voidspawn/demon war had to be forced, before anyone worked out the logistics of making it happen.No. First we need to gather as many vessels as possible.
At this point I'm pretty much in favor of baiting the demons up onto the surface and using them as an impromptu army, after suitably making the outer fort impregnable of course. A little hellfire and toxic demon blood would probably improve the ambience.

Dig out some shiny crap. Migrants love shiny crap.So beatiful.
Yes! Golden minecarts, please!Alright. I'll finish my turn and upload the save today. For real this time.
Jesus, Yuli. I love you, man, you make everything exciting again.You actually made me laugh. Thank you for that.
Regarding Twilight: My wife talked me into going and seeing New Moon. Big mistake. Almost the entire movie was woodface-girl sitting and staring because her boyfriend left her. If I hocked a loogie into a petri dish and came back in a week, the resultant spread of single-celled organisms from my saliva via asexual reproduction would still be a better love story than Twilight.
Oh, and migrants arrived. The surface looks clear...Yeah, there is NO WAY this can end in horrible slaughter.
let them in.
...reclaim?NO FUKKEN WAY!!!
New fort very near the old one?
Delete the save and never speak of this ever again?
What in God's name is KILLING them all? Is it a tantrum spiral? Forgotten beast actually actively loose?Remember the last forgotten beast? The one with the poisonous one? It never left the underground caves alive, but it somehow managed to poison almost every single dwarf in the entire fort. Those who didn't suffocoate within the first few months got paralyzed and died of dehydration. We had a hundred dwarfs. A hundred. We are at seventeen now. This is just like the Ambassador-incident, just without all the blood.
Everyone dead.Anything new?
Dorfed myself as the only farmer.Everyone dead.Anything new?

This explains fucking everything.Except how for the void sake did you manage to poison all those roasts?
Aw, crap. He's back.
Let's hope he's on our side.
I lost a legendary succession game to kobolds.This is a most fitting depiction of this forum
Yuli, not content with being one-upped, has decided to lost the fort to eggs.
Godspeed, sir.
Who are the six survivors?(http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/743/g9f0.png)
FOR TEH LOVE OF ARMOK BAN THE TAINTED FOODI think I found every poisoned piece and forbade it.
The delicious egg roast must be destroyed before we all perish
it is only fit for thieving kobolds.
I'd like to be re-dorfed as Urist McDead, as the dwarf who is most likely to survive for a long time.:o
We have a sadistic ghost who've scared to death a turkey.
EGGUANA
Coleonyx variEGGatus, the blood-soaked EGGCKO
WE MUST CAPTURE WEBWING.Sure thing, but not now.
What kind of web does a FB even leave behind?
Silk farm in a succession game? Oh man, the memories...
The kind of memories where half of the fortress population ended up caged and hauled to the stockpile.Silk farm in a succession game? Oh man, the memories...
Are they the kind of memories where the critters get out and everything dies because three turns down the line nobody remembers how to control it?
A few words on how the things going.The closest thing we have to what some call 'allies' gets slaughtered in front of our gates. Unfortunately they don't transform into mindless beasts, trying to kill us.
Human merchants came to trade. We didn't open the gate, but voidspawn ambush met them instead. Caravan guards fought back, but fell, and voidspawn killed all the rest. Unfortunately their poison doen't affect humans and horses, I am so disappointed.
Unfortunately they don't transform into mindless beasts, trying to kill us.
Today is a sad day.

There were conbat log records about abyssal taint injected into horse's blood and then they pursued that horse all over the map. I think there passed enough time for the transformation to take effect.Unfortunately their poison doen't affect humans and horses, I am so disappointed.
Are you sure? I thought I've seen lots of weird stuff get enthralled.
Did it actually give some kind of message, or did they just poison but not get a thrall? Because if that's the case they probably killed the thing before the poison kicked in, it's delayed.
I want to say I saw someone successfully enthrall a yak or something to that effect at one point.It's not like I tried (but wouldn't that be cool?)

At least the surviving dwarves dont have to worry about the Mad Fool teaming up with the ChaosMaker and well..leave it to your imaginations....its a very dwarfy thing to do...only instead of just the pain burrow...make it EVEN worse...by adding turkeys everywhere...and possibly if its ever added stichign dwarves into adamantium armour...semi permamently at least....
heheheheheheHEHEHEHEHEHEhehehehee
Moment over, lets all laugh at our deaths that shall soon to be...besides dieing from a egg-suprise menu...seriously i think we should reconsider eating FB's....at least make sure the ones we butcher dont contain poisonous ingredients...or are poisonous...because thats just a terrible way to die next to dying of old age in dwarf fortress...

We may reclaim. It would theoretically be easier to do this time, even without the Void God; we probably won't be reclaiming into the middle of WWIII, at the very least.Or I can use Putnam's script that summons migrants.
Peregarrett is dead too. I think this time we fall to murgerous ghosts.It's fine, I sealed of the ca-
What about Deathgate III somewhere far away?
And here we have a humanoid composed of charcoal with deadly spittle.
It's fine, I sealed of the ca-Yes, I did. But you can't seal from the ghost, and now we have about 10 of them. Two or three of which are violent ones.
...
No I didn't. :P
Did you?
I'm in favor of us trying to survive with the last four, since we can always do the three and four later and summoning migrants isn't !!FUN!!Yeah. Keep it going as long as possible, and then do another reclaim if/when they all die.
sorry for second post but thought you guys wanted to know that hall of legends is now more veiwed then murdermachines....so now were in second place again.
Just thought you guys wanted to know :).
And we are FAR away from being second. I checked the board and saw at least 3 threads with more view.sorry for second post but thought you guys wanted to know that hall of legends is now more veiwed then murdermachines....so now were in second place again.
Just thought you guys wanted to know :).
Hall of Legends isn't a fort, it's a compilation of the most legendary forts. Of course it's in first for views.
So, we now have these choices:As sorry as I am for you ( watching 4 dwarves die slowly is probably alot less entertaining than watching a hundred die slowly ), I'd stick to trying to survive as long as possible, even if there are now chances of survival. Not sure if we should build somewhere else. Let Anima decide when the time comes.
- Go on as it is trying to survive with 4 last dwarves.
- Summon migrants with dfhack and let them in... if they survive.
- Abandon and reclaim.
- Abandon and build somewhere else.
What should we do?
As you value your life or your reason keep away from egg roastsOh look, egg roasts!
I would not like them spread on toast.
I would not like them in a roast.
I would not like them here or there.
I would not like them anywhere.
I will not give those eggs a try
'cuz if I do then I will die.
Dorf me once the population gets back up. This madness is too legendary not to be a part of.
...holy hell. I read through Deathgate and Murdermachines in four bloodsoaked sittings over the past few days and had some crazy, crazy dreams.

And yes whens the next update on the misadventures and chaotic hellish lives of our Dwarf Incarnations? i wish to See Chaosmaker get his head torn off by either a clown or a FB...or at least die in a dwarvenly mega-awsome way of holding back an entire tide of demons with the Red Monster Sword

He may not have even been dorfed yet. we got no vessels.
Has anyone else died?
Has anyone else not died?
So, what exactly is up with the egg roasts?
kk. Gonna fire up the fort and look around but won't have any substantial updates until the weekend. Probably.
Wait, probably?Probably in the sense that I probably won't post a major update before then. But I might.
Mine to freind....mine to!!!
I have no idea what Yuli is on, either, but dude managed to kill the entire population of Murdermachines twice. So far as I'm concerned, I can't really tell if that makes him the worst DF player ever or the best. Either way it led to some beautiful moments. Losing a community fort to freakin' kobolds because of the infrastructure damage and poor defensive layout of the fortress was one of the crowning achievements of my gaming career.:P
Did this fort die?We might have to reclaim, but it's not dead. I'll be posting some updates on Saturday.
Is it starting again?
Can I sign up?

besides that looking forward to the update, hopefully i get a vessel soon...im bored sitting in the void...bored enough to start reading our competition...Unfortunately, with only four dwarves left alive and three of them named... and needing an avatar for myself... I'm not sure when this will happen.
still annoyed at winzip...do i need it to use DF? (not used to downloading games online)I can't recall whether the save files are normally rarred or zipped, but either way you'd be best served getting 7zip or another multi-purpose archive manager, rather than winzip. Also, recent versions of Windows can read zip files without the need for third party tools.
wish me luck on losing many forts...my goal is to last 5 years.Have FUN.
http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=3155#comicI imagine this would require mining carts, yes?
This. We have to do it.

Ooh, sounds good.I guess there's enough armor just lying forbidden on the ground. I could take only bronze spear, copper shield and novice spear/shield user for everyone.
Any armor for those troops?
Armor? There are piles of crap all over the surface.Yes, but ... the surface is somewhat hazardous what with the constant voidspawn ambushes. Also the good stuff is still below in the fortress proper, along with all the rotting corpses.
That said, this reclaim sounds marginally less fatal than the one I left behind; with no AMBASSADOR or Minotaur running loose.There are at least two FBs, as well as all the caged thralls and whatever else we had stored down in the depths, and the (friendly) goblin siege. They just don't show up on the moment of embark.
Was the fort sealed when it fell?No, but it *might* have been marked as a lair... >_>
we to stop digging for awhileOn the contrary, the best way in to the fortress right now is straight down from embark (and slightly to the south). Assuming the leader remembered to pack the dwarven radar.
If I wasn't a noob (as in "still working on first fortress, but already thinking of deathtraps"-noob), I'd definitely sign myself up for a turn post-reclaim. As it is, I've just got to compliment you guys on being the fourth-craziest thing I've seen on these forums (the first being the mermaid thread, the second a thread about using necromancers to keep food fresh and the third the Dwarven Childcare idea). Keep going, and may I suggest setting up a simple but effective z-level ditch around the perimeter while you try to set up the fortress properly? Just temporarily, of course, for as long as it takes you to set up some mine cart guns.

Guys, I have an idea. It's crazy, but it's crazy work. That, or kill the fort of the third time.
- Enter fort, kill everyone.
- Lock up.
- Build airlock to allow migrants to enter, but not enemies. Build traps and way to seal off if possible.
- Began industrialized "child care."
- Construct BATTERY2: a battery of BATTERIES.
- Began construction of one or more pump stacks from the magma sea.
- Hook up pump stack(s) to BATTERY2, but DO NOT TURN ON (yet).
- Wait until "day care" has produced 8-10 full militia squads.
- Give "day care" squads CARP training.
- Find way to fill arena with water and drop CARPSs into it.
- Prepare arena for Voidspawn/clown showdown.
- Release the clowns.
- Watch the carnage.
- Send in CARPs to clean up.
- Release water, let hell fill up a little.
- Drop CARPs.
- Once all CARPs in Hell, turn off water
- Build new Hellbunker.
- Began argriculture in Hell.
- Build rooms in hell.
- Began to move civilian population into hell.
- Keep woodcutter/hunter outpost in lowest cave to supply wood and meat.
- Build lever that controls power that turns on/off the magma pumps in Hellbunker.
- Seal off any and all entrances to the above-ground world.
- Once colonization is finished, pull lever and bring death to the surface.
It's costly, overly ambitious, time-consuming, and will destroy the FPS, but hey, isn't that what Dwarf Fortress is all about?
Whats a CARP? they the same as carp?
...the Trade Depot of Doom (so named because the past few overseers had taken to using it to drown every caravan that came through the map and made it to the gates alive).iirc we were trying to get the humans and elves to siege us. It never happened, though. :(
I LEAVE FOR A WEEK AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS
Actually, Dwarf Fortress just means that no matter how badly you screw stuff up, there's always a way of recovering it, as long as you act crazy enough. And of course, the problem wasn't FPS.
...
Reclaiming this is just stupidly Dwarven to WORK!
...
I am way to optimistic-this is Dwarf Fortress we're talking about.n ;D
Making nigh-immortal creatures immune to thralling would be cheating, though. The rampage would be legendary, and would earn Murdermachines a place in history alongside Boatmurdered.
Anyway, if any of these ideas is too overpowered, just give it the "opposed to life" tag but leave it trainable. That way you'll probably be able to get it from caravans or with the embark, but any wild ones, on the other hand...
Murdermachines is Spearbreakers with no time travel.
Spearbreakers is Murdermachines with time travel.
I mean, they both have horrible monsters that turn people into them and they ended around the same time. They both have near-god warriors and ongoing jokes. (mugs and the surface) They both even have many of the same people participating.

i definetly second this batch! its almost like a parallel universe crap going on, in spearbreakers theres fischer, in murdermachines theres VG whos essentially the void incarnate...
i think the next fort needs a little...SURFACE MUG OF DOOM! thing to go on...we must build a megaproject with a gaint mug for spearbreakers and fill it with lava for deathgate,(bonus if the lava's pulled from hell and it has the deathgate logo on it!), also on the surface for murdermachines....
all powered by a series of batteries! Noodle...you know what to do...
If we are reclaiming, give me a turn somewhere down the line.+1
Pufferfish is go, and with me included we need only five moresacrificesvolunteers to reclaim. And who knows, maybe some blood spilling will motivate Anima to return and keep thismeatgrinderfort rolling. I'd hate to see this die out now that I finally started posting and all.
Or maybe we'll mutiny and take the fort for ourselves, eh?
forts kinda dead right now, we need to do a reclaim....so unless anima kays a reclaim were kinda stuck...
Come on, beards, reclaim that fukken fort already!...
Just wait for Anima to do... anything. Of course he may be busy and it might take a while....
nah, ol vg will have our hides for that!...
And I was talking about dorfing the reclaim force. Since Puffer was the first to suggest taking over the fort it's only fair that his dorf will be the one to providedistractioncover while rest dig down/run for the gates like there's no tomorrow. Or we could use horde of ducks as screening force, in honor of the Netherfowl. I'm fine either way, since it's unlikely that anyone survives.
I vote for chaosmaker, as either the weapon/armour-smith or the seige operator! and if i must fight, i shall do it in a dwarfy way.....MAKE WAY FOR A STEEL HAMMERLORD LADS!
im all for CARP trainning and the DANGER room....kindergarden is also ago. also make sure the mad fools lab gets up and running as soon as possible, remember people wanting their Dorfs get in frist! plus anima MUST be the duke/baron/lord of us all...and have the best absolute room possible, gold, obsidain, and smoothed/engraved via a master engraver. also obsidian furniture and a golden bed to. (extra chests, weapon racks and the sort of junk youll find in a royal lords room).
He shall be Pleased....
on a side note...We must Build A Temple to TeRrY
Alright, here's the plan:
My first goal will be to construct an airlock at the surface. Currently we only have one female dwarf (Kyh) and it will take ages to repopulate the fort without letting in migrants, so that's a priority.
The reclaim team consist out of three miners (Wlerin, Chaos-Maker and Minkerrow), two masons (Kyh and Tryrar), one speardwarf (Puff) and a mechanic (Mr.Strange).
Most of you guys wanted to be some sort of warriors, but we can't afford buying the necessary skills and there's more important stuff to be done first. We'll just throw you in a dangerroom as soon as we find one. Sorry.
The next step will be to reach the underground farms. I won't be looking at older saves to find out where it is, I'll just be digging in it's general direction. That's how a dwarf would do it.

Oh god, I just unpaused the game. I don't see any dangerous creatures except for these:

I'll be careful anyway...
i keep getting ambush alerts from beneath the earth all the time...Yeh, thralls are really good ambushers for some reason.
>no medical dwarvesI'd say this is improvement over Mad Fool.
We're so dead.
All problems solved.We died already?
I don't even know where we're at anymore.

where are the forgotten beasts?Hard to say as I believe their locations are random, but if you see forgotten beast webs lying about, be on your guard.
dude you scared me ^^ most ofthe underground farms is covered in webs. luckily it's just cave spider silk. i'll get some screenshots up soon.where are the forgotten beasts?Hard to say as I believe their locations are random, but if you see forgotten beast webs lying about, be on your guard.

Aren't the caverns like, almost 100 z-levels below the farms? Or are you trying to reclaim the lower farms? O_oYeah, I'm talking about the farms that I've set up in the caverns. The aren't as good as they used to be ( all of the mud disappeared ) but they are something.
Some risky constructions have to be done in the caverns. Luckily the most dangerous creatures in there currently are some bat men. Peregarrette is taking care of them easily.
Only damn batmen can breath in the clouds of miasma emanating from Boatmurdered.Hell, when I read this, I couldn't help picture this.
...nananananana batman!...Oh, really?
we are in some serious shit right now.
I'm not sure if tallow eadible in raw, but it's for sure cookable into meals.Dog tallow makes really good biscuits.
becuase if so were definetly taking the boatmurdered path and letting the enemies fight amongest themselves...or was it spearbreakers?
Harvest the caravans!HARVEST THE CAVERNS!Yeah a berry farm sounds like a great idea.
Dead puppy? I thought it was the eternal siegeburn that did BM in.
If we can't take hell, we'll outdo it.
If we can't take hell, we'll outdo it.
It's a shame that food can't earn name with kills, eggroast a la murdermachines should have earned it by now... Has anyone thought of selling remaining the remaining roasts to elves?
We'd be liable to kill the fort again just trying.Since when has that been an issue?
To take the roast to the depot, people would have to touch it. We'd be liable to kill the fort again just trying.Just keep it walled off until we have a hundred or so dwarves again, and then attempt it. I'm sure nothing will go wrong. This is Murdermachines, after all.

I suggest we build a room devoted to the sole purpose of throwing animals/prisoners/dwarves down a pit several z-levels deep with spikes linked to a repeater at the bottom.
Better yet, exploit the system that allows you to mine for slade, but use it to make a fortress under hell. And let's indulge in viking mythology by calling that part of the fortress "hel" (yup, that's actually the name of viking hell) and fill it with ice.
And whatever Anima said about magma, I think it's worth making a railroad and pour a few drops at the surface, to burn down all the garbage left outside.

Yeah, but that is not weaponising, it is good practice...
In Murdermachines, it's simple equation: use magma to clean up the debris == sear the entire map devoid of life. There is no other way.And whatever Anima said about magma, I think it's worth making a railroad and pour a few drops at the surface, to burn down all the garbage left outside.

In Deathgate the FPS eventually got so bad that one overseer used DFHack to autodump trash into an atom smasher.
On the other hand, he also accidentally smashed the Red Monster, but that's beside the point.
On the other other hand, rotting mounds of garbage is kind of one of the selling points of Murdermachines.

I recommend simply shutting off the fortress until thieves have stolen all the leftover goods.brb, spending the rest of my live waiting for thieves to clean up the map. atleast i'll have something to do until the next version comes out.
...YULI WHAT DID YOU DO
guys, chill. i got this.
guys, chill. i got this.
Yuli has repeatedly caused massive damage to the fortress. In fact, I think he was responsible for one of Murdernmachines' deaths.
Following this logic, he probably brought 80% of FB population into fortress.Yuli has repeatedly caused massive damage to the fortress. In fact, I think he was responsible for one of Murdernmachines' deaths.
Two, to be honest. The fort fell for the first time during my tenure, but only after Yuli fed 80% of the population to an FB.
He managed to kill the second FB on his second tenure... and promptly fed THE FB to 80% of the population. WHICH HAD THE SAME EFFECT, INCIDENTALLY.

whoops frogot to put in my input...but as said above...this is why i love murdermachines...
but right now, we need the fort back!! or a do-over...
if anima lets us start anew...because basicly unless we do a massive claim with an army beheind us with well provisioned stocks...i dont think we would make it beyond year 3 at this rate when we do recliams with all the voidspawn, goblins, theives, FB's, animals, and maybe opnce somone finds the adamantium unleashes hell on us before our millitary is legendary in the aspects of millitary fighting.
Speaking of the millitary, i vote we let the dwarves go weaponless except for wearing adamantium armour (FULL ADAMANTIUM) and then let them wrestle trolls to the ground....the armour will protect them from the blows...hopefully...
and once they've gotten at leats 40 kills under their belts (for the entire sqaud mentioned) we can give them weapons (if their legendary armour user, dodger, wrestler, anything else is optional), i suiggest adamantium axes, hammers, spears and swords. also sheilds be given to all sqauds. we also have a emergency marks-dwarf sqaud to be used as a execution sqaud for captured foes we throw into a pit and have a fortification built into the walls so we can pepper them with wooden bolts from adamantium crossbows...
can we get started on this shit please? and if i cant get resed as a weapon/armour maker, let me be a beastmaster (trainning war animals) so that one day i can train us....
....
wait for it...
...
WAR DRAGONS!!!
i so want a dragon...I PROPOSE WE BUY NOTHING BUT FIRE-PROOF WOOD IN THE NEAR FUTURE! even demand if from the elves if we have to...bloody tree huggers.
I suggest setting up a danger room, if only to allow us to survive long enough to get the demons to fight the Voidspawn. Or just kill us, but that doesn't really matter at this point.Yeah, we had a danger room. Every time I fired it up a baby got mutilated. Go figure.

Try a reclaim, and if it fails a do-over and/or restart is always a (unappealing) option.
You can't kill the undead fortress...right?!

this is murdermachines of course we will find a way to kill an undead fortress...somehowe either through fps death or save files being tampered with by terry...we alwasy find a way to end horribly and in suffering. at this rate this will be a fortress of reclaimation...still any chance of reclaiming the old fortress halls and sealing up the fort untill fresh migrants arrive to take part in the ever expanding millitary (i suggest we go the way of sparta and anyone not doing a imporant job-food, minning, drink-making, making furniture and of course building) is suck into the millitary so that all dwarves can at least defend themselves for a year. that way gives us fresh recruits in rotation cycles..and we can just dwarfpile a voidspawn and see how that works, by my guess we could theotrtically kill one via a thousand bites....
litterally, if dwarf fortress is feel nasty enough. if we somehow get lasher weapons (whips) into our fort all the better! with the godslaying weapons in the hands of our champions...the goblins will be torn to shreds in to time!!! *even if its not a dwarvish weapon i suggest we use them...we can make them menance with spikes and stuff to make it all the more dwarveny...and on fire!)

No. We need to stalk Yuli Vlasi and physically get the save out of him. Nothing less.oh crap.
If I'm reading things right, it's Pufferfish, then Mr. Strange, then me, then Lolfail0009. Somebody needs to find Anima to edit the front page. Or make a new one (mutiny!).
Also, your list is wrong, reading from the OP peregarrett was before (and after) Yuli started, so next would be (maybe) Krevsin and then wlerin, Kazimuth, Tryrar, Kefkakrazy and gunpowdertea, unless I'm mistaken and they wanted to skip their turns.
Also, I can't open the save Yuli uploaded. Is it just me, or...

What I'm more concerned about is that Anima hasn't posted in quite some time.
So...no.
New fort in a new world?
So what was the consensus on the Overseer list? Do we continue with the list in the OP or did somebody start a new one?Happy new year! The overseer list? Well, I squeezed myself in after wlerin, so it should be Kazimuth's turn now. He didn't reply yet though.
Oh, and happy new year to all!

It's been what, 15 days or so? Last I'd talked with Kazimuth (before Yuli did the reclaim) he abdicated anyway. I think it's Tryrar's turn now.
might be that, but on more news from my own fort....
I caught a dragon in a Tin Cage....any ideas on what to do with it? going to turn off temp for now...just untill i get it in a nice safe place...so !FUN! doesnt happen, i was worried for a moment my traps wouldnt cut it and my millitarydoesnt have marksdwarves.is a recipe for !FUN!.
Wow. I'd recommend attempting to tame it, so you can safely put it in it's own enclosure. I'd also recommend editing the raws by adding the "[CHILD]" token to the dragons raws (and reducing the incubation period for dragon eggs), so you can eventually have a dragonsplosion.Woah, be careful with that.
Edit: First off, can I get a status screen from the beginning of the year? Also, what do we need(besides not dying?)Ok. Not dying sounds good. You need food. Srsly, you are out of plump helmet spawn. Get food.
Edit: First off, can I get a status screen from the beginning of the year? Also, what do we need(besides not dying?)Ok. Not dying sounds good. You need food. Srsly, you are out of plump helmet spawn. Get food.:edit- find a way to eat sentients, that way we can have goblin sandwich's! or elf meat...
...
And a military. Archers should do for now.-edit: we need more marksdwarves using bone or wood bolts!
...
Uhm yeah. That's all we need for now.:edit- i can remeber what else needs to be done, such as dumping all the stuff on the surface for reclaiming...add more !FUN!
Just open the raws of DF. I believe Dragons are under creatures_other. Also, use [CHILD:N], where N is how long you want them to take growing up. Incubation period is already done, I think, but I believe you should find it under a separate section for the egg items.
Ok, this is a dwarf fortress cliche, but I have no clue where anything is, especially the levers controlling the entrance. I might just rebuild the entrance just so I know where I stashed the levers for the bridge...I think Yuli built a second, simpler entrance. Might want to see how that works. The levers for the old gate have notes, if I'm not mistaken, and were in the middle of one of the busier parts of the old fort.
Anyways, first granite, and I'm basically assigning someone to do heavy plant gathering to find some plump helmets so we can brew shit.(either that, or do some trading.)Probably the best idea. Where from? The caverns or the upper soil areas? Because the latter may still have wandering goblins and voidspawn thralls... and of course the cavern has its own unique set of dangers.
Anyways, 16 dorfs wont use up the massive supplies of cooked meals we have.Well, that would be true... if about half to 2/3rds of those cooked meals weren't contaminated with a deadly toxin. Best to find another source of food.
This is glorious. Three deaths in a row to FB's. We should just repeatedly reclaim-abandon to import massive amounts of the stuff we need (we bring the contents of the cart to a place it won't scatter after reclaim and then abandon immediately).That's ... not such a bad idea. EXCEPT, aside from food, the fortress should already have everything we need lying around either inside or scattered on the surface. Worst case scenario (I personally think this is cheap and will probably lead to more bugs) could just have each reclaim party bring weapons and some food, sort through the trash and bring what's needed to a designated location in the Deep Fort before they are inevitably killed by FBs or starvation... and then the final group just brings food and makes a mad dash for the stockpiles below.
Look, Anima hasn't posted in weeks and the person whose turn it is hasn't come. I'd say this fort is dead.

What about professional apologising?
The shroom walls are just a result of trying to open the game using a different graphics pack than what the raws are using. As long as the game doesn't have any custom raw files, just replace the raws in the save folder with a copy of your own.
Note to self: mod in edible walls for next fortress.
Like the mushroom walls, things must be very triply.Magic mushrooms, instant fay mood... that would explain why I saw buckets chasing bolts down the halls. Some of the creativity dworfs are showing in their artifacts is starting to make sense now.

Maybe to you, but allow me to present to you the Grombardrim Scale of Overseer Mastery(TM)
Proficient Overseer: created a stable Mountainhome
Expert Overseer: created a successful Megaproject
Master Overseer: created a stable Mountainhome and stable Megaproject, then used the latter to destroy the former
Legendary Overseer: bred and trained Rocs for war
I have high standards of myself, especially considering the fact that I tend to starve my Dorfs out due to negligence... :P
Nope. To reach "Truly Dwarven" level, you have to colonize HFS with a force made entirely of Childcare Graduates, cast a fortress of Obsidian down there for your people to live in, and then leash domesticated Dragons at your entrance to keep those nasty Elves away, while trading Mermaid-bone chalices to the outlying lands (if you're not the Mountainhome by now, you haven't passed Proficient level yet!)But isn't "dwarven" supposed to mean insane? All of those things you just mentioned are very rational and quite practical things to do.

All of those things you just mentioned are very rational and quite practical things to do.
Contraty to popular belief, Dwarves are NOT insane. We are highly logical and practical beings, with great respect for life and incredibly high moral stances.
Admittedly, our logic is on the slightly extreme side of "individualistically capitalistic opportunism", our practices involve copious amounts of magma, the only life we respect is that of Armok, and our moral stances tend to include "xenophobic urges to kill everything on sight" and not much else...
Or we go with the flow of the old Deathgate for 2014 and we do this without gimmicks. A large part of what made Deathgate I so crazy was that every overlord built their deathtraps according to a moments whim and to match the situation at the time. There was no overarching plan, just lots of little gear-shaped plans designed to make the whole thing go "cuckoo".
Not at the moment. Kefkakrazy is next in the list on the OP (tryrar surrendered to the madness), but he's one of the returning overseers, and I think we had a few newvictimsvolunteers a while back, I just don't remember who.
Well, I think that 20 or 30 migrants trying to reach the gates through voidspawn hordes ARE fun, but ok. I guess I survive till end of my turn...
It's 16th Obsidian and we have gobbo siege here.
Ok, my turn is over. Last 4 dwarves are trying to make enough slabs and coffins. Everyone has masonry and engraving labors enabled, and stone/furniture/corpse hauling.
Caverns are sealed, so no danger from beasts. Maybe best choice if to abandon and reclaim - if we release captured voidspawn beforehand, we'll get random fight between them and 'friendly' gobbos

Someone''s made a Dwarven Star Destroyer. Not sure where or who, but the link's in their sig.
How does it shoot magma into the sun? After all, all dwarves know that the sun is merely a fictional entity. We have empirical evidence that nothing exists beyond the 2112-th z-level.
Oh! Nah, the Star Destroyer I've seen is neither fully armed nor operational. It doesn't even have multiple Z-levels! It is, however, pretty impressive.
As to the sun and moon questions: "The Sun is a flying blob of gold. Beware its flaming breath! It is associated with Light and the Day. The Moon is a flying blob of Dwarven Cheese. Beware its deadly dust! It is associated with Dark and the Night."

I believe that Kefka is actually referring to his unDorfed dorfs as "thralls." They are not actually thralls, it's just a fluffy nickname.
Gents, it seems like the solution to this problem we're having is to make a BA adventurer, and have him clear out the place.
Situation in the fortress is nightmarishly precarious. Goblins and trolls roam freely among the corridors, and I'm not quite certain how long this uneasy truce will last. The halls need washed clean of such filth, but no dwarf in the fortress has the combat prowess to go about it.They were still nonhostile? I, uh, I knew that. Totally not the reason why I got killed constantly. Nope.
Seems like it's worth the investment to create an adventurer in this world. It will take some serious time, if we do the honorable thing and don't use DFhack, but then every time we have this problem, we can send in Urist McBA to clean out the voidspawn and the FBs.

Let's mod in immobile petri dishes with a harmless syndrome to allow us to vaccinate dwarves. And let's have a small zoo, maybe with a reserve supply of kobold (slaves).
Looking over my plan, I cannot rationalize the lack of lava. What we need is a multi-fortress lava (or water) gun, with one fort of the project set up only for the rapid-fire launching of the material, and the second for the delivery of massive amounts of the material. For the same reason, let's set up another pair of forts to fire water (at a very large delay). Then we can create large walls of harvestable obsidian in adventure mode.
Something with a description like this:
"He has turned on us. The Void God had abandoned us all, and then returned, seeking out vengeance against those who dared to be sane, with his minions, and legions of those who have been terrorized by Deathgate's existence.
To sum up, we're probably already going to die within the next few moments.", maybe?
Still, everything will still probably die, quite likely at his hands, axe or beard (made of magma?), if we implement this plan.So only question left is who will actually do the modding?
Sorry about the massive delay. To be bluntly honest, it's taking me a lot of time to work my way into this fort; it is nightmarishly convoluted and badly screwy.Ah, the old Deathgate motto.
The VoidGod still lives baby.
ANIMA'S BACK I'M SAVED PLEASE TAKE THIS NIGHTMARE OFF MY HANDS
The VoidGod still lives baby.
"Lives" is relative.
Me save the fort? I've made almost no progress. Every attempt has been met with a sort of existential terror not unlike that of someone who tries to open up their watch to replace a battery and finds that it is being powered by a tiny, portable portal to a blackened realm of insanity and lust, and that their curiosity has allowed dark spirits to seep forth and infect our world and that is where people like the Kardashians come from and oh god what have I done to us i don't normally even wear watches
Give me the save.
I want to see how this new computer handles our venerable monster.
We don't need no water let the mother fucker burn. (https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/t31/1618263_10151862588181857_825556233_o.jpg)
Also, you do know that DF's speed is entirely dependent on how much power a single core can throw at it, right? Since DF is not multithreaded, it can only run on one processor core so a lot of the benefit of multi-core arrangements is lost. (Not entirely, mind; having at least a dual-core allows you to assign one entire core to DF, since you can offload all the processing for other mandatory functions like the OS to the other cores.)
Will post the save when I get home. It's not actually running at poor FPS, guys; the problem is just that attempting to organize everything is so intimidating that I'm almost immediately struck by a paralysis not unlike gecko sauce disorder.

There is no standing military. I jammed all of the unnamed Daemonthralls into a squad so I could try to get enough of their less-valuable meat bodies clustered around one of the not-violent goblins to feel safe trying to have them execute him, but because even Daemonthralls have short attention spans and Yuli built our little bunker in cavern layer 3, I could never get more than one or two beards up there at any given time.
You have to understand that I hail from a darker era, back before the uber-complex current military system was put in place (I still haven't figured out a lot of the bells and whistles). Why, in my day, a dwarf was either military or not-military, and that was that!
The following was found scrawled on a stone outside the gates of Usanstakud Nazushmestthos.
We are the Death-Hammers' of Wrath.
The last survivors of the once great civilization, the Basement of Murder.
Our home was Deathgate.
We are the dwarves who kicked in the gates of hell and conquered it for ourselves. We built a fortress deep below the earth that housed a warmachine of steel and dwarven hate. Built on the bones of goblins and demons, none could vanquish us. Except Terry; a god of madness and chaos born from our own rage. In the end, he was our undoing. Our brethren were taken from us, locked inside the realm of madness and chaos.
And we? We were forsaken by the Stonemaker and left to the endless void with Him.
Our reprieve from the void was Murdermachines. A place in which we could call home. A way to escape the hungering void and return to flesh and blood bodies.
But this was no sanctuary; we have lost much for this place.
Only the avatar of the Voidgod, a warrior of glad in burning steel and adorn with a halo of molten iron, allowed us to return.
But still we do not thrive. We cling, we suffer, and we bleed for this burnt, blood soaked land.
And we fucking love every minute here.
This is the dwarven paradise.
This is Murdermachines.
Damn it Puff, stop eating that fucking eggroast.
It really wouldn't be a dwarven meal if you're not choking on a wee bit-o-bile. Good taste is for elves and fluffy wamblers.
Added myself to the dorfitrizer, those eldritch biscuits ain't gonna be made by magic. Well, good magic anyhow.

It's true that we never really managed to complete any pointless Deathgatey megaprojects, but in the end, just keeping the thread alive under a constant stream of ambushes, raids, sieges, voidspawn, and Yuli turns has been an achievement.
Especially those voidspawn. Jeeeebus, Anima, those are evil.
Holy fucking shit its alive. I haven't checked this thread in ages! Anima, you're back! Also...looking at the save, why the fuck did Terry invite Khorne and Nurgle to crash at Murdermachines?Tea Party.

Be prepared for the next chapter:
Gnostics of the Voidgod
Urist 16:1
is it possible for murdermachines to create it owns monarch?
Voidspawn:
Import:Unholy Desecration
Export: Genocide
The sad part is, these voidspawn aren't what I intended.
My planned voidspawn were far nastier, but the civilization population mechanics were too tricky. (Hell, they barely breed as is.)
And they never use proper items or skills.
Honestly, Voidspawn overlords were suppose to be given four steel weapons and a full set of steel armor with the proper skills.
The battles I tested them in were so ridiculously one sided that it might be a good thing they got broke.
Who needs overpovered voidspawn, when we have eggroast?Also incompetence and megalomania.

For the newcomers to the thread, I'll point out that I ran some tests of my own with a copy of the save a long time ago, just to see what kind of insanity would come out.
A voidspawn overlord in steel was tearing apart entire squads of well-trained, armed-and-armored dwarves. With no hands or weapons. It was beautiful. He was just this ironclad torso slamrming into dwarves and ripping them apart, like some kind of fanged land torpedo.

I feel the more impressive part of this report is that you shattered his hand by biting it. Not broke, not chipped, shattered. That's pretty metal, even for Dwarf Fortress.
So, the Void God now wields adamantine axe in one hand and a slade hammer in another? That's.... Yin-Yang of Dwarf Fortress!!!
Also, how you made it? With dfhack:changeitem, I guess?
For bonus points, let someone encrust them with voidspawn bone.
Uh...I retract ny earlier statement. The Void God has NO problem using that hammer. As a matter of fact, hes DUAL WIELDING an axe and the hammer. :o

You do realize that once the Void God kicks the bucket again, we're screwed?
Did we even have a militia last time? I mean, the Void God had the killing power of five elite squads. All we had to do was to point him in the right direction and he'd reduce whatever enemy he found into a bloody paste. We depended on him too much; once he was gone, we didn't stand a chance.
Use the Void God only as long as we lack any militia of use; once we have obtained a regular army, dispose of him as you see fit.

Setting up a regular army ain't that difficult, if a slight investment. Just got to scroll through available dwarves for their physical traits, find those most useful to the military as a whole, and put them into training squads with defined equip weapons. Get a solid cap, leggings, mail, gauntlets, and low boots along with a wooden shield, and their stats'll rise real quick. Armor user and shield user'll be the most prevalent for survival, dodging's more of a consequence. Easier when you have experienced war dwarves, as their sparring goes 80+ pages of the taps.

you frogot greaves and a breastplate. and have it replace their clothing.
also Anima, if we have excess useless metal (iron or copper) i suggest making metal-clothing. would be intresting to have everyone in copper clothes, would think it wont wear out as fast and the fact its a redish metal means that storywise they wont freak out so much with blood covering them. unless their soaked in it like VG every other day before his Rum break.
also anyone say we put VG in a danger room with wooden (training) spears and see if we can get his recuperation up to notch so he wont spend as much time in the Death-Room of Horrors now that Mad Fools back?
considering the metal storage do we even have metal armour? if not then dig deep, make the fort even deeper then ever, and abandoen the old parts of the fort and seal them right up. shame we cant flood it with lava and cool it so we can strip-mine for obsidean and make a monolith for a beacon. ya know just mak our place a little more permament...
anyone thinking an Aztec pyramind style building filled with traps that would make the old Death-bridge of deathgate look like a pansy when we have the Dorf-power for it?
and finally i so aggre with Dwarf4explosives...its what im planning to do when i get back to my computer.
+1 to the Voidgod Dangerroom Plan. Really, it's probably the wooden spears that are in danger here.
Also, for a moment there I thought you said "mental storage". Calling Murdermachines a storage place for mental cases would be a rather accurate statement, by all accounts.
Making a pyramid-design entrance would be nice, especially if we could implement some science testing to see if fluids go through a bridge encased in obsidian. If not, we can just put one of those (invaders path through them) as the invaders' entrance (leaving another, close-able entrance nearby for use by migrants and such) and set lava to stream down the sides of the pyramid. Instant massacre. If they do, we can set up a system to draw extra power from the falling lava.

yes, in headshoots (from what i understand) their god-like avatar of destruction was able to weild a handbag and decimate sieges alone...clad in a artifact adamantine breastplate thats so covered in blood and gore its permamently stained the colors...not to mention SHE was increbile insane and powerful.
lets put it this way, the adamantine armour was so good she was essentially the VG of their world.
the legacy of HER spawn plaueged many a sequel of those series....
lets just say that if she and VG fought, i wont know who wins (if that bitch used her real weapon instead of a silk bag! which i think either was a adamantine sword or spear...not sure which!)
I do not know if we have the steel to equip them with, but we require their arms non the less.
Toady completely rewrote the damage and wounding system between then and now, and Dwarf Fortress became way the fuck more lethal as a result.

For the record, VGs physical stats are over 7500.
Once his armor is finished, he'll be nigh unbreakable.
Wait...why in the Hellbunker did you make him sub-perfect (9000 is the max, I believe)? Did you at least melt his fat off of his body?
Oh, and yes, kefka, it can work. I suggested a small version for a fort's entrance, but it was shot down for being overpowered ???.
He's already capable of pulverizing goblin flesh brains into Chunky Goblin Salsa. If I made him any stronger, he'd make the ocean's red with blood.
If I made him any stronger, he'd make the ocean's red with blood.I fail to see how this is a bad thing. On completely unrelated note, is it possible to fill a moat with blood?

Once his armor is finished, he'll be nigh unbreakable.
There's always a chance a voidspawn or something will get a lucky hit on the VG, possibly ending him and the fortress. So I would prepare in the event that the VG dies due to extreme bad luck.For the record, VGs physical stats are over 7500.I was pretty sure he was invulnerable the last time around and look how that ended :D

Nah man, that's just the front yard. Some humans favor keeping various assortments of "recreational" gear upon their excess land. Dwarves are far more pragmatic, as who needs lawn gnomes when you can have goblin bones?

Keep me? Well, so long as you keep me well. That's room and board yes? If so, I accept. However, I won't tolerate any attempts in changing my body's physiology. Except perhaps, to dead. After all, is not death the inevitability of these pitiful lives? How can I be free of death except to go through it myself?
Quite. For I have many outstanding arguments hinging around principles related to morphological inertia, identity, purpose, and plot role and how they all interrelate. Besides, this way I can guilt people into things by reminding them that being a mere human is no excuse.
Indeed. Where you not aware of such, yourself?
Ah well. It is my job. We are known by many names. "The crazies", "specialized delusional schizophrenics", "philosophers", "stand-up comedians", etc. Our job is simply to stave off all of the cosmic horror present in any given universe by amusing it so much that it refused to destroy humanity. This often involves many mind games and our minds have warped into a twisted shape to accommodate such.
What sign shall you give to ensure said promise?

Journal of AnimaRytak, the Voidgod
11th Opal, Mid-Winter
A construction accident has somehow blasted a hole in the roof of the fortress. Somehow this pierced two floors before stopping in the kitchens.
I really don't know how they did that.
No matter, I've designated a road built into the fortress. But not a simply road of stone.
I've ordered our road to be built from iron.
13th Opal, Mid-Winter
Rigoth the baby was impaled on spikes.
25th Opal, Mid-Winter
Lashidang has bled to death. Not quite sure why.
In any case, the surface fort has been remodeled, a road has been mostly built, and I've moved onto my next project.
A magma pump stack and a new BATTERY.
Chaos, I had NOTHING to do with any of those deaths. I even stopped the cave-ins at the kitchen level.
Don't poke at the sleeping lion.
Or in this case, Terry. Which is much, much worse.
Chaos, I had NOTHING to do with any of those deaths. I even stopped the cave-ins at the kitchen level.
I dare say, is our Chaos God getting SOFT on the fort?
So Terry watches terrifying anime AND speaks Welsh?

To put it simply, I wish to see the one called 'McClellan' work this fortress. If this does not occur... I may have to force my symbiosis on many of the daemonslaves. I'd LOVE to see you mortals handle something that has only been truly expressed once, in the anime movie 'AKIRA'.
Yes your Chaos God, your "Duw Anhrefn", watches anime. Where do you think he gets the raw materials for his... creations?

Terry, please calm down and empower us against the murderous clowns. If you need inspiration for the mass genocide of clowns, I would direct you to a human Stephen King and his Book It or the minor demons known as the ICP or the particularly frightening and disturbing internet cancer called "Homestuck". If these do not fuel your wrath against clowny kind, then at least put yourself in a mood for the bizarre by consumption of the works of a human who shares your name, Sir Terry Pratchet. [

Also, that manga monster thingy is pretty tame, compared to the thing I've managed to twist the concept of "Cookie Monster" into. It kills things on par with the Voidspawn with relative ease. Molten chocolate is a very potent weapon, apparently, as is having a mouth resembling a combine harvester.

Fucker's never kept his stuff inside cyberspace. Wrecked my hard drive a while back, if I remember rightly. Downloaded the Murdermachines save, and then BAM! Need to buy a new one.What, you too? When I downloaded the save my internet went Error everytime I tried to restart previous session.

-_- Can we get back to what we came here for? I don't know about the rest of you but I'm here for violence and mayhem, blood, guts, genocide, and psychopathic rage. NOT vomitting crap monsters and tentacle porn. Be ware ye who takes a turn after me. I have surprises in mind for all the good little dwarves. Muhaha. Iter Vehem Ad Necrem.

I've on break from DF and Bay12 for months... And this game is still running!? Holy crap, you lot are a persistent bunch, that's for sure. How long is the waiting list for a turn, nowadays? Half a year?
I honestly don't know who's next in line.
But my turn will probably be over tomorrow night. So we should probably nominate a new overseer.

I know what to do. First you need to take a bath for two hours on the hottest setting that doesn't make your skin start blistering and coming off in sheets. ( Unless you're really worried. ) While doing that you need to listen to a carefully selected series of noises through the highest quality noise cancelling headphones. At the same time you need to listen to certain 8-bit tunes. ( I'd suggest "Magicant" from MOTHER, but that's just me. Do what you're comfortable with. ) While doing that, stair crosseyed at the showerhead until you get a headache. Burn lavender incense and as best you can think of the earliest point in your life that you would consider yourself "uncorrupted." Boil it down into a formula and overlay it over the offending thoughts. Then REPRESS IT. If you claim you don't know how to repress memories, you are either lying or just do it so quickly on instinct that you have no need of this method anyway. Then once your happy childhood memories are good and repressed along with the offending content, think only in terms of the future as much as possible. There, you have successfully purged your mind for the moment. Warning: This has all kinds of ways of backfiring. The idea is that when you try to think on the horrors you witnessed you'll instead be redirected to a distracting childhood moment to hide in. This can and probably will work in reverse depending on how you do it. That said, most people don't reminisce on their childhood too much, so you'll all probably be ok. Just try to remember, you're not trying to merge the feelings, you're trying to cover them with better ones. If you merge them, you'll become that which you felt "ruined" something in the first place.

@LolFail: Also, when I looked at your profile pic earlier, it was messed up and I thought that had signified that Terry took out his wrath on your account.
No I mean, worse than that. It was as if someone had cut your avatar into horizontal strips then rearranged it. It was a passing glitch as it's back to normal now.

You are beyond comprehension, your casual defiance in the face of Terry the Terrible Terror beyond the scope of understanding.
I, on the other hand, am a mere acolyte. An underling. Which means, of course, that I hear things. Terrible truths, betrayal, I've heard it all. And survived.
So wait, let me try to recap this:
-Terry, the Chaos, speaks with a red glow, but is also Darkness, thus has black text.
-McClellan, the Order, speaks with a blue glow, but is also Darkness as well.
-ChaosMaker is pure chaos, so he's just red text.
-Am I just Darkness, then? Or something?
And I believe I speak for McClellan's computer when I say HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT.

well you guys should've lurked enough, but to tell you the truth what happened was chaos!!! captain trying to bring order and then TheFLame going heretic, (still waiting on the vote folks otherwise im just dumping his dwarf into hell the first chance I get!) and considering the revenge, I doubt its possible, remember this is just a small part of terry were facing, because we ARE terry. well we made it anyway...deathgate has never been more proud!The sheer amount of bughouse insanity in this thread is disconcerting me, and that's saying something.

Also the next 5 incarnations of TheFlame Say Aye, flame as the condemned you don't get a vote.Ha! I don't have a dwarf! Codemn me all you want!

As per why I'm not playing now, blame it on Futurama and oversleeping. Plus my room is twenty degrees colder than the rest of the house.
I also resent to being called the second-born of Terry. In due time I will reveal who I am in respect to the MurderMachines.

Dear Terry, Void being of unknown origins.What does your green text represent?
I am curious on your powers. Are you Omnipotent, Omniscience, or any of the other Omnithings? If Omnipotent, Can you make a rock menacing with enough spikes that you can not lift it? Can you solve The P versus NP problem and let me take the $1,000,000 as you don't need it i hope.
With regards,
TheGhostKing.

"Terry", I'm getting sick and tired of your shit. We created Deathgate, thus we created you. Do not attempt to wrest our enjoyment of the game away from us.
Besides. Do you truly think that the REAL Terry would post on these forums and agree to leave us alone or anything? No! Terry would not give us any hints as to His intentions, but would rather see us flail in helplessness as He corrupts our savefiles. Which you haven't yet done. You're clearly an impostor, riding on the coattails of the TRUE Terry.

Woo! Also, you can try to make an adamantine sword please? I tried on my turn, but they kept using it for lame artifacts like "Nutglide".Unfortunately there's already some posessed glassmaker. Do we have a glass furnace? Looks like we don't...
The pumps and channels: Please don't touch the pipework near the surface. It's an unfinished project that could potentially flood several layers of the fort and put out the magma forges.Okay. I hope trolls will do not touch it too.
Don't mine out the last block holding in Baru, the cage traps don't work. The caverns are pretty well defended, and shouldn't give you any trouble.Baru is busy destroing the artifact coffin
I would have finished off Baru but he has poision blood and it was strong enough to kill past-Anima. It's also immune to traps.I've just got a brilliant idea... are voidspawn immune to its blood? I think no, but have to check.
It's all a clever ruse, dwarf brother. All those scars just equivalate to a suit of eldritch leather over it's already elritchy leather skin, and a broken hand? They that dwell below the under furnace have no care for such petty inclinations as minor maiming.Which magma-filled basin?This one.

And suddenly it's not designated to be Anima's tomb, though there's body of his previous incernations. The tomb is set as resting place of Feldrain 2nd.

And there's another group of migrants.
Be careful trading with elves, last year I had to kill them.When don't we have to kill them?
Truly, the Word of the Internet is, "If you do not build it, they will hivemind it for you."
EDIT: I found out why everyone keeps dying. Someone unforbid the guineahen egg roasts. They are covered in deadly paralytic poison. That's the gecko sauce evryone was talking about a while back. Just forbid them and you should be fine.Oh? Nobody died in my turn. Yet. And I think I checked those roasts... Actually, it was me who found them before fort crumbled to death last time, so I DO know how deadly they are.
EDIT2: Dwarf me as Flame, then make me a furnace operator. Someone needs to smelt all that ore.
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.So what you are trying to say is "Bussiness as usual", right?
So what you are trying to say is "Bussiness as usual", right?Yyyyyyyyyyep.
Some were stored, some were on tables. They were all over the place. Every one of them was unstacked.
Engravings of voidspawn killing dwarves.For a second there I thought you meant that the engravings had killed dwarves. On the positive side, I wasn't really surprised at the idea.
Wait a minute... Where were the roasts stored? If they were on the surface level, I might have unforbidden them by accident. ( Not that any dwarves died that way during my turn. ) What I did was to get at the valuable Goblinite, I just made one gigantic "Unforbid" square covering the entire surface.Probably not. Some were stored down in the cavern food stockpile.
Sig'dEngravings of voidspawn killing dwarves.For a second there I thought you meant that the engravings had killed dwarves. On the positive side, I wasn't really surprised at the idea.
What I want to know is, how in the fuck the gecko sauce got onto the egg roasts in the first place. It's a question that has never been answered to my satisfaction.
Did they fight EGGUANA near a food stockpile? Did soldiers coated in FB extract track it into the food stockpile? Like, I'm dead serious here, what the hell actually happened?
I'm going to laugh a long, long time if the gecko sauce manages to start claiming victims again. At this point I'm almost ready to advocate that we autodump every prepared meal on the map just in the interest of not turning our dining hall into a discount morgue. Again.

Unless you have a dwarf with no friends, quite a few grudges, no family, and a raised bridge, don't dorf Terry.
Anyone want to see an artist's rendition of Terry?Spoiler (click to show/hide)
That seems rather inaccurate for a portrait of Terry. First, you start with an inverted hypercube, large enough to enclose the universe (and, as hypercubes are 4d, enclosing the small stretch of time wherein dwarven life has evolved). Then you make the outlines (inlines?) intersect, before adding a smiley face to one of the (in)sides, along with a pair of short-shorts.That'd make a great sig.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He wasn't even describing a tesseract, he was describing a mere hypercube. I've played a Rubik's cube in four dimensions and one in five dimensions, I know what I'm talking about. Though why it would resemble a two-dimensional smiley face from all directions is beyond me...

There's a difference? I always thought hypercube was a layman's term for a tesseract, a four dimensional cube.
Wait a minute. What about me?Where's your entry at Dorfinator? Don't see any, But I thought you dorfed yourself on your turn. Go add your request then!

On a side note, kudos to whoever has updated the TvTropes page with our more recent exploits. Also, I somehow managed to read "Will it blend?" as "Will it beard?".
DEAR GOD TALONIS IS MARRIED TO TERRY. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT MAN, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.
Also, I apparently am a fat married woman with a son. Eh, I've been worse.

You're welcome. I was hoping that would cause a wave of people to properly update things. Ah well, I have much spare time. ( At least until I graduate High School, and then you guys are on your own because all my spare time will disappear for three years. )

Trust me, we get a lot more spare time than you think in University, particularly in early first-year ;)
This whole 'marriage' thing eludes me. Does this mean I get to consume Talonis' corpse when it dies to extend the limits of my power further than previously possible?
EDIT: Both Talonis and Terry were born on Granite 1, 159. Also, Talonis Sloth likes sloths. :PThat's why I nicknamed her "Sloth".
So let me get this straight.Spoiler: Saber (click to show/hide)
I've killed an Elf, a Troll and assorted others...I think we should fetch you a human and a dwarf(probably berserk), to get a full house
This is pretty awesome, I'm not even mad that I'm a female Dwarf. I have a full fucking title (and let's face it: The Mountainous Speaker of Prestige is a fucking badass name), I've killed an Elf, a Troll and assorted others... And I worship Id. Let me emphasize that: I worship the source of bodily needs, wants, desires and impulses, particularly sexual and aggressive desires.
I'm fucking Jack from Mass Effect. If she were a tanned, non-Biotic Dwarf.
Indecision and lawlessness are unDwarven?
Indecision: n. An inability to decide which leader to follow, unto the point of replacing them yearly.
Lawlessness: n. see Murdermachines.

Also, yeah, Peregarrett has an amazing ability to pick the right Dorf for us, doesn't he?Indeed. Also, isn't Peregarrett a chick?
Indeed. Also, isn't Peregarrett a chick?Well, only time can tell! :D
MAD FOOL HAS A KID? THAT HASN'T HAD EXTRA LIMBS ATTACHED? WHAT THE FRICK
Even evil has loved ones. So it stands to reason, crazy does too.
Love is a pointless mortal invention. It has no place in this realm, or any.

A'le'Anleh.
Wow, I haven't read that series in a long time... Pity. It's an excellent example of modern fiction.
A'le'Anleh means "by will of Fate", doesn't it Terry?
And imagine yet still a Murdermachines that never dies, or a Deathgate that never fell... Was Fate the decider there? Can we truly know?
No... There is something amiss here... It disturbs me...
WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON HERE
Love, fate, shit may be about to get real.
I think the answer to that question might be "We are as kitchen towels."
Very well. Imagine, if you will, a fate wherein MurderMachines never dies. Is that fate not possible? Only by sabotage will MurderMachines fall, methinks. So if you sabotage the fort, is it truly will of fate or will of Terry? And if it is will of Terry and Terry ceases to exist, could Terry's will continue to sabotage? Truly entropy is the only thing that might cause the end of MurderMachines and by wit of those prepared and careful order, entropy can be subverted. All of you should be motivated to do so, as with entropy ChaosMaker can no longer make chaos. And if entropy occurs, interest will wane. If interest wanes, only that can truly end this place.Murdermachines can also fall from incompetence. I almost killed it with unforbidden egg roasts when I was checking out the save.
( Everyone: Anticipate Terryvention in the fortress. )

In the third screenshot, is that child stuck in the wall?Murdermachines. It explains itself.
In the third screenshot, is that child stuck in the wall?Oh! No, that's an engraving covered in blood. The engraving depicts Derm 2nd leaving from the position of militia commander.
There are changes in military.
First, we have The Bolt Magics - archery squad led by Yuli Vlasi.
(http://i58.tinypic.com/k3n3w8.jpg)
Second, Saber now leads The Bronze Dearth swordsdwarves squad. There are just two dwarves in it, Saber, and Terry... Terry started with dropping all her belongings down except a barrel of beer.
(http://i57.tinypic.com/15i8b54.jpg)
One spot at Void-Wrath was left reserved for NCommander till she grows her baby up. And Derm was put on the spare spot.
Scaprier shows some unnatural ways she can do with various objects. Ulborb watches and writes down.

You know what?
Chaosmaker got posessed and grabbed an adamantine wafer and voidspawn leather. And two boulders plus cut gem. Yes, this got to be a weapon. this has to be SOMETHING.Um. What squad is Grombardrim in, still the Void-Wraiths?No, you're under Mad Fool's commend, in Firstborns

And we've got new supply of vessels. 8 new faces, not so useless as it used to be. And Baltharaaz has named his steel hammer "Forkedgray". The name came to him while he was sleeping
Now everyone gives names to his weapons.
Scaplier named his common iron spear "The Guild of Confederating"
Can I claim that axe? Grombardrim needs a weapon fitting of his (hopefully soon-to-be) legend...Grombardim is a speardwarf. But carries an adamantine sword for some reason.
If it isn't given to Anima, that is. He is on the axe.You think? He's currently holding that slade hammer, and I think it's great for him. Maybe I should give him both this axe and hammer? Will think of it.
That's one awesome axe, even with the silly name. It's worth one and a half million!The name is great! It's so sharp that when you swing it cuts the air in halves and produces Quiet Echo, and after you chop enemy in pieces, the ground becomes so fertile that Vegetations grow as fast as retracted Spikes. Hence the name.

All are equals until proven inferior. In some cases they are proven superior, but typically not when they tout themselves as beings of darkness, chaos, and/or evil. However, at least they are more honest than some. More dangerous are those who claim to be beings of light and peace. However, it is better to assume sincerity until proven otherwise than to be ever suspicious. You call me a threat and recommend my destruction, I at least intend to make efforts to help you and will only enact your destruction if necessary.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the translation for McClellan's function?
C++? Hmm, I thought that language is a bit more long-winded.Nope, C++ can be very, VERY laconic. For example McClellan's code can be transformed and upgraded into something like:
Whereas Terry's language seems to be a variation on DF RAWs, which is awesome.
int stand_by(bool potential_threat, int watch_level,char* mood);
while(true){
char c; cin >> c;
switch(c){
case 'y': return stand_by(TRUE, 1,"amicable");
case 'n': return stand_by(TRUE, 6,"reserved");
// and do not accest any other reply!
}

Containment is implied or done via divers means. Typically {}. Also, this is why escapement is so vital in many cases. Try adding return; to your functions. Of course there may be additional arguments needed to return depending on the sort of function invoked in the first place.

The lack of containment would lead to quanta interacting between the code lines, causing decoherence in the program.
Of course, your computers run off of classical [3,1] dimensional physics, so things will be different.

Relative present. The temporal relation is best explained by a T=sine(cosine(x^t)) graph, where T is my current time, t is yours and x is monitored by my adapters and is fluctuous.
EDIT: Also, our time influences the number of dimensions your universe experiences or is our time a relative constant? ( I think you have your x and t backwards. )

also anyone think its a good idea to make a shaft from the surface down to the adamantine and let the clowns out in the event of a siege? that way the clowns and the guests can argue who's going to kill us all while we sit back laughing our dwarfy asses off watch the limbs, blood, guts, and bones/carapace fly around![/shadow][/color]That'd just result in thralled clowns, who would then proceed to murder the

Ummm... Hmm. Are Steve's legs finished? And what about the surface fortifications? Besides that, I can't think of anything as I want to install Steve's heart myself.Oh, his name is Steve.Okay
But then the Voidwraths came to play. Voidspawn are not a match to them, even the patriarch! First Scalpier bit it in the foot, then VoidGod have literally bit its tooth off, then there were some slashes, bashes, staps and hacks and finally Grombardim hacked it in halves with her axe.Also, why was Anima kissing Voidspawn?
Yea. His name is Steve. What changes did you make? Nothing major, yes? His axe, head, and body are still intact?Yes. Now he's a Captain Steve, Terror of the Seas.

That patriarch put the moves on Anima, flashing its jiggly bits at him. Anima was so aroused that he wanted to make love to it. But then, the other dwarfs saved Anima from becoming a Void daddy by killing the patriarch before foreplay could occur. Many years later, Anima will be haunted by dreams of what could have been with the patriarch, and will forever grieve his departed lover.

WHY DID YOU EVEN WRITE THIS!?!?You're both welcome.
"The Leopard of Bears"?It's a leopard-print where every spot is in form of bear.
Now I have an image of a leopard print vest lined with bear fur.
*face-palms*Every piece you have in your uniform is an artifact (except hammer), so don't weep. Other stuff is your civilian cloth.
some-how i turned from being a terror of the warp into some pimping thing-a-job...at least i got artifact stuff. (just need another gauntlet and iull be fine...except ill need some boots to....and dont you dare dye them purple! at least white...or black...or even red! but not purple...or i shall commit unbearable horrors of egguana onto your dwarf...)
and please for the damn sake of chaos itself make the stuff either white or red....i dont care which but not purple...its not even remotly deamonic to be purple!!!
(reason why theres no purple deamons...i killed them all and ate their equivilanbt of souls)
finally looks like im in the sqaud...but if i cant play give my turn to terry,....somtimes i hate having to come hone when im expecting to play DF and i get loaded with a ton of crap...sigh...terry likes to mess with my life.
cant say im not against it though. good luck with your turn dude! meanwhile here in the warp im going to plung another realm into chaos and hopefully turn a dragon....
....
a thought occurs to me, do we even have silver, gold, and platinum coins? if not then i suggest making at least 10 piles of silver, 5 piles of gold, and then 1 pile of platinum as a base for our enconamy. Would that solve most of our trading problems with useless items? after all merchants seem to like shiney coins allot, we could use this against them to make them give us their wares for lower prices...if not then let me at em with the hammer, im sure they will....agreee...to our demands. are you in summer or early fall?
Speaking of artifacts, who got that badass axe in the end?Nobody yet. Still looking for a proper candidate.
anima? after all he was using a slade hammer and a battle-axeMight be, but I think he's a bit overpowered. I mean, he's already a killing machine that explodes any enemy, so no need to charge him with artifact axe.

We have a goblin siege, and our "friendly" troll that dwelled next to Ass Arena turned hostile. It threw Shaggard into cavern lake. As a sing of disaster, the ghost of Peregarrett the MuckRootBerserk has risen!
Voidwrath took care of puny goblins, but we lost Kotter the leatherwork who was caungh outside. And here we have another siege of voidspawn! A squad of them just jumped out forest where VoidWrath was finishing last goblins. Anothe squad swapned at the palisade, and the third at far north border. There also some random troll idles, so they have something to kill for now.
Meanwhile Saber tries to deal with troll who drowned Shaggard, but she's presed by it and just can't land a proper hit with her sword, despite her godly skill.
Obviously Voidwraths think that biting is a nice tactical move against voidspawn, or maybe they just like the taste of abyssal taint. Oryx bites some drone in its tail and shakes around, but then falls into murky pool. Baltharaaz and Scaplier join him in a moment...
So. Baltharaaz and Grombardrim were killed, Oryx drowned, Scalpier is wounded. Some randon troll was bit and soon will become a thrall, I think. Saber has chopped that troll in slices. AnimaRytak suffers from severe blood loss, though I don't see any wounds... except the fat of his right lower arm that is gone. That's strange. Something burned his arm that nobody noticed.
Also he's covered with voidspawn grime.

Sadly, I'm afraid this will require a heroic sacrifice. Unfortunately, being as I'm on the side of Order, that will probably make me the first to die. Especially as I'm the Sheriff.There are hero's in Murdermachines?
A few.Sadly, I'm afraid this will require a heroic sacrifice. Unfortunately, being as I'm on the side of Order, that will probably make me the first to die. Especially as I'm the Sheriff.There are hero's in Murdermachines?
Although perhaps 'Anti-Hero' would be a more accurate term. They do good, but not always in the most moral way...That's fair. We can't have a fortress full of paladins though, and even the most moral among us are somewhat corrupt.
Murdermachines, where the only good people are corrupt, and the bad considered heroes.Pretty much. Though how much you can consider entities like Anima "people" is up for debate.
Someone was missing gecko sauce? Soon we got a new Newt Sauce!The only syndrome that beast could have is probably something that turns dwarves into newts

If by "itching to play" you meant "praying to Phenax that I can make my mind get through it" then yes I was.Win/win I guess. And here is a little back story to start off my turn for shits and giggles:
"Welcome to Murdermachines."
Has anyone heard from... him, lately?
Shoo, we weren't talking about you. We were wondering where Anima's gone.
Don't worry about me not being here.
You may, however, worry about what I'll do to you now that I've been woken up. Again.
Shoo, we weren't talking about you. We were wondering where Anima's gone.
Although perhaps 'Anti-Hero' would be a more accurate term. They do good, but not always in the most moral way...
Don't touch the forgotten beasts! They're walled off and safe. Everytime we try to take on Baru, it ends badly. Check his scarring and kill list.Thats why cave ins exist. And i'll also take out Lanani aswell.
I'm going to do all I can to help clean up this place.Yeah, good luck with that. Every time someone tried they ended up adding to the mess. And by that I mean their corpses were piled upon it.
Maybe you could lure Baru into a cage trap, using a cave-in to stun it? Using yet more traps and a system of grates, we could coat items in poison as kobold deterrents.Tried that, he apparently has trap_avoid. Don't know about his mate. Just do the cave-in or leave him. I mean, he's been there for like five turns without causing trouble.
Also, we may need more lava in this fortress' design. At the moment it's just wasting away underground, after all. A lava moat could be useful, and if we have an aquifer we could use some more magma to seal off unused parts of the fortress with obsidian.
Cage traps wont work on Forgotten Beasts. Or any other generated megabeast, as they ALL have the [TRAPAVOID] tag. From the massive amount of scars on that puppy, I'm guessing he cant bleed to death. So next beast thing, drop a rock on him and his compatriot.
Please change Krosan's profession to Captain Murdermachines. It seems appropriate.
(why yes I did go see Captain America today, what of it)

Ppfpt. Why not? Let's corrupt all the superhero icons into Murdermachines forms.
Grom-Bat-drim? Not sure if anything else really works :p
And now we shall see how the twisted eldritch abomination handles the greatest terror known to man-, elf- and dwarf-kind: FATHERHOOD! (actually, probably not elf-kind, they probably raise them all together like FF12's Viera or something creepy like that)
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THISTerry, you sly dog.
As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure this means Anima has a sort of half brother.And now we shall see how the twisted eldritch abomination handles the greatest terror known to man-, elf- and dwarf-kind: FATHERHOOD! (actually, probably not elf-kind, they probably raise them all together like FF12's Viera or something creepy like that)
Nah. All my studies into elf-kind indicate that's their big problem: Elves are terrible parents. The father has almost nothing to do with them and the mothers are pretty crappy too. Honestly, the elves would be better off raised by trolls or wolves. At least then they wouldn't be malnurished and would be taught the proper cycle of nature: eat or be eaten. Not all elves are like this but still. Enough to ruin their entire society. ( Another problem is they use magical trees to raise their young instead of doing it themselves, hence their tree-hugging ways. )
However... Terry as a father? Terrifying. I just hope the child doesn't end up worse than Anima.
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS
Quick question: Does anyone know what in the name of the abyss is this thing?And what does it do?Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Holy shit. In this siege, we lost 8 dwarves, including Anima. Most died from the heat that the fires created, and much of the woodland is on fire. Holy shit. I think i'm a bit too fun for Murdermachines.
I think i'll savescum here and try again.
Here we have Dortimus, the ultimate punching bag. For some odd reason, 2 entire squads went for her. After she fell unconscious, they all proceeded to break all of her ribs repeatedly for 2 ingame days before one of them headshotted her.

And most tragically, we lost the iron bridge infront of the entrance. :'(But how?!
Good GOD.To be honest, I was looking for a way to make an alternate file in the case you guys wanted me to continue. There was probably one, but I didnt think in time. Oh well, the same thing will probably happen again.
You're telling me that our military died in battle against abominations spawned from the void amidst a heavy rainstorm that was reacting with eldritch fire to fill the battlefield with the choking smoke of the burning foulness surrounding the fortress and while being blasted to pieces by explosions of superheated steam?
I'd have been cool if you'd just continued, that's quite possibly the most metal thing that has happened to Murdermachines.
No, i'm keeping this one. This one might be better than the last one, probably because I got the pleasure of killing Anima this time, so i'm cool with it.Maybe give a third try? What if it'll beat those both in awesomeness?
[quoteI dont think she was in the fighting, but I could be wrong.
Maybe give a third try? What if it'll beat those both in awesomeness?
At least Peregarrette is alive and can be a core of new army. Beware my mighty spear! (She's speardwarf, right?)
I think that losing Anima for the third time will probably prove to be the death of this fortress. Really, I suggest shutting ourselves in and building some automated defenses.A Plaguebearer's miasma attack can, apparently, set things ablaze.
Also, how did the Voidspawn make a fire?
Explosives, apparently something that comes with them has a breath weapon that causes ignition.Anima DID put down his weapons and armor, but I believed he would still have his godly stats, which is why I jumped the gun and forbid the hospital door. Apparently, his stats were re-averaged when he turned, so even If I hadn't stepped in, NC and TMF would have killed him eventually.
Also...
We've been bantering about the VG getting enthralled literally since the first time Anima brought him in. Thank Armok he put down his weapons (and that presumably Voidspawn enthralling doesn't, apparently, respect your original stats) because otherwise this would have been an extinction-level event.
I kind of have to second making Saber the new militia commander, if only because it's the only dwarf in the history of dwarf who can boast actually killing the Void God.While it is quite notable archievement, I predict bad things will eventually happen to her. No one kills Void God without consequences...
While it is quite notable archievement, I predict bad things will eventually happen to her. No one kills Void God without consequences...Nobody lives in Murdermachines without something bad happening to them. :P
How did Ringo fare? ( I know he's the head of the fort guard, but he might've been fighting for all I know. )About that... He might have charged blindly into a Plaguebearer who breathed its deadly fumes, starting the fires which decimated both him and a nearby squad.

If we do, then can we please train him to ridiculous skill levels "naturally"?It seems like the only logical conclusion there. And that's coming from the guy who is attempting to bring order and justice to this madness.
Journal of Saber Idarban Elbelsoloz Zan, Godslayer:This time, I was positive I wouldn't die some terrifying death. I mean, broker, they don't get even remotely close to ancient horrors, right?

It would appear I was not informed of Lanami's projectile attacks.Drat. There goes SanDiego our broker. Luckly I found someone else to replace him in minutes. I will have to devise another strategy for dealing with these beasts.Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Weren't you part of the operation to drop parts of the ceiling onto the FBs?Who, SanDiego? .-.
HAH.Exactly. Our little Lanami had shot a deadly glob projectile at SanDiego, causing him to dodge off the edge. When Lanami did that, Big Bad Baru closed in for the kill, landing a punch on his skull. What I find funny is Baru is basically a T-rex, so his arms should be tiny, yet he falcon-punched Diego in the face.
If I'm reading that correctly, while he was trying to set up the ceiling drops, he found out the hard way that the FB had a projectile blast attack, and it looks like SanDiego dodged it like a true dorf: right off the ledge.

Experimentation is fun!
Not only did I KILL Anima, I ATE him. I feel like an elf now. I'm going to go take a bath. And eat the soap.This is golden! I can't wait for next unexpected horrible blasphemy against everything to happen.
I'm itching to get my hands on another body. Anything you can do to oblige fine Saborian?
(( Translation, re-dwarf me pretty soon please. As a male. Profession irrelevant. ))
Also, I am a bit disappointed to be replaced as the Chief of the Guard. Moreso that I was replaced by that hooligan. Please amend this as soon as we are not all under the threat of immediate death. However, try not to amend it with ChaosMaker's death. It would be bad for business and likely to bring about some sort of retribution on the fort, though why I suspect that of that particular dwarf, I cannot say. Truly this is a mad place...
If Anima's meat is turned into fine meal, then what is done to his bones and skin?Voidgod bone bolts? Voidgod bone decorated door? Voidgod skin napkins?

You can also just make a new dining room and designate it as a meeting hall, but the more meeting halls there are the fewer dwarves will be in each, so to increase participation in swimming we'd want as few meeting halls as possible. Installing swim training at as many meeting halls as possible would work too.

I was reading through this thread for so long that I think I gave up on being able to finish it somewhere around the time CaptainMcClellan showed up and all the text became impossible to read.Yep. It amazes us on a daily basis that this fort is still living.
But I'm amazed this fort is still going. When I first stumbled across Deathgate and read through it, I figured its successor was already done too and that a third Deathgate was starting somewhere. Instead... I see that Murdermachines still lives, in some fashion or form.
No idea what's going on though. But it was a fun read for the most part! Tons of fun. This lady will likely be staying out of it though.
Murdermachines is a stubborn old goat on steroids indeed.I was reading through this thread for so long that I think I gave up on being able to finish it somewhere around the time CaptainMcClellan showed up and all the text became impossible to read.Yep. It amazes us on a daily basis that this fort is still living.

And are you sure we can't tempt you with a turn? It really is a fun fortress to run. I never had so much ability to build undisturbed. ( Then again, I had a pact with the resident chaos deity that spared me most of the problems that befall the place. That's what most of the illegible text was about. )
I'm still up for Deathgate 3 embarking near a necromancer tower. I had way too much fun having Urist McFarmer becoming Urist McHelsing as they violently beat captured necromancers to death with their bare dwarven fists.If you want a fort like that, just come over to mine. It's so insane that it's the home of the first transsexual dwarf. ( That said, I'm willing to punt it off on anyone who wants it. ) Here is the link. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=135929.msg4965979#msg4965979) It uh... Has so far treated me worse than Murdermachines in every way and with the recent scandal, I'm willing to give it away.
Having a military so mentally /fucked that they really only need to drink and eat is also a plus, corpses are great at being traumatizing.

I'm not really sure taking a turn would be wise... I haven't touched Dwarf Fortress since the 40d days, and I barely understood it even then. I'm not sure what I'd do with a turn on such a legendary fortress as this.
Well... I suppose I could give it a shot... what's the turn order list currently look like?

A dark voodoo statistics ritual involving a seven-sided die, fourteen pie charts, three XML documents, a random number generator, a psycho clown, a dart board, and our names in an out-dated spreadsheet file with compatibility issues that was written by Terry himself fifteen minutes in the future on a Windows 98. Or at least, that's all the parts I've been able to figure out so far. It's just easiest to say "Your turn comes when the game says so".

I'm going to hazard a guess this guy got a piece of Anima stuck in him. Just a tiny piece. Just enough of the Void God's power.He probably ate Anima hamburger.
He single handly slew Baru and Lanami, and nearly solo'd Sodor, when NCommander and Ulborb came to assist towards the end of the duel. He was tired (from Baru tanking like no tomorrow), but those two weren't even needed.That'd explain it. Anyways, I added him to the Tropes page under Badass and Mauve Shirt.

What the fuck. Is some random undorfed recruit now our new Darkwing? Hell, even Darkwing just managed to kill two clowns before he went down. It's beyond me that a frigging recruit in the Official Voidspawn Feeding Detachment managed a triple kill on Forgotten Armokhumping Beasts.I'm also going to sig that.
Hey, Captain, can I get that blurb you promised me?Yea. Actually, if you're up for it, we can do a Skype interview. I'd prefer to do it that way so that there's someone telling me what info is needed while also forcing me to do it. It's not that I don't want to it's just that I have a really bad problem with motivation: I don't have enough. So... Add me on Skype, username is the same as here but all lower-case. Then give me a minute to find a mic and we'll do it. ( I just... really don't want to write... right now. I could record a voice thing also, but the screen is giving me a headache after 11 hours. )
I was hoping for more of a short, witty statement than a whole interview.Ah. Well then you might want someone with more wit.
Danke schön. The podcast will be up as soon as I splice that in and find a new hosting place.I was hoping for more of a short, witty statement than a whole interview.Ah. Well then you might want someone with more wit.
To sum up my personal experience with MurderMachines?
"What's all the hype about? Besides taking eight tries to get started because of save corruption, MurderMachines was the most docile, well behaved fort I've ever been a part of. My turn was industrious, prosperous, and very fruitful. I got to build and play with several constructions including building a wall with Mardi Gras colours just because I could! And then there's the nice bit of Pixel Art I left for future players. That's nice right? Narry a dwarf drowned, it didn't rain dwarf blood, nothing sponatenously combusted, and there was no three zombie sieges a year! ( Willedabyss, Moltenchannels, and Authoredmountains respectively. ) I never even saw a werebeast and there were no yetis at all! The worst I think I had to deal with was some keas. I mean good grief, MurderMachines practically rolled out the red carpet and kissed my dwarven ass! The one singular mistake I made was taken on Baru, and that was back when he didn't have a little brother or sister. He totally powned everything. So I just save scummed. Sure it was cheating, but eh. Hell, I was able to carve out an image of a dwarf wielding a battle axe and name it Steve. If that a'int useless crap just because you can, I don't know what is!
See, all these other guys don't know that Murdermachines is actually Terry's affection starved wife. ( Because Terry is busy all the time working on making these other guys' life miserable. ) When I was able to use my awesomeness skill to befriend Terry, he backed off and I was able to play a nice little game of Chess with MurderMachines. She was so happy to have someone be nice to her for once, she caused no problems. And hell, once you have the fort's genius locii and its Duw Ahfren on your side, you can do ANYTHING. So while all these guys set crap on fire, wrestle with insanity, eat AnimaBurger, and send Dwarves to their deaths only to find out that they have a mutant hellspawn among the Bonecarvers, I just sit back and have a nice relaxing year with the fort. It just goes to show, you don't need chaos and murder. But I am sadly in the minority on this concept. "
Be nice. Our medical care is spot-on; you couldn't ask for a better doctor than The Mad Fool. Dude is so good he performed an emergency nephrectomy with his teeth.Actually, The Mad Fool is in the Military. I dont even know who helped out Chaosmaker, but it wasnt TMF.
Sabertooth was caught in the murder machine. I mean we have to have dozens of those laying around; sooner or later someone was bound to be eviscerated by the titular mechanism.You're goddamn right we have a lot. There's the danger room with the battle spear that kills infants, the magma chamber, the day care, and fuck knows what else. It's like if we looked at the Saw movies and said "Jigsaw's a total pussy. We could do better." and then proceeded to go completely batshit insane with our murderous urges. Seriously, at this point the Joker has better impulse control, and Khorne has a lower bodycount.

Considering the bloody government/university alliance launched another assault, any time I can get with this fortress will be a blessing. Tomorrow, I promise, I will get stuff done... But it is 10:30PM now and I should be getting to bed soon >~<Sounds like a game of Sid Meier's.

Sleep's for the weak :P
Tsk, tsk...Terry has struck again, it seems, this time in blue screen of death flavor.
Eh. Why not? I need something to do. One thing though, someone will have to take care of all my other responsibilities. Or at least my Roll to Dodges. XD Link me.Tsk, tsk...Terry has struck again, it seems, this time in blue screen of death flavor.
Who's next in line to get a blue screen.
Where's the latest save?Look away.
I don't want a turn or anything, just a quick look at the abomination for myself.
I.. have no idea what I'm looking at.Sazir was buried if I remember correctly.
Observations:
- We seem to be out of soap. This could prove problematic. There is a soap maker's workshop int this fortress, right?
- There is a large room consisting of a pool of magma with a ring of orthoclase block floors over it. What's it for?
- There is a skeleton belonging to a dwarf named Sazir Akgosletmos in a crypt with a checkerboard pattern. It is forbidden. Does anyone know why?
- The child care system seems... incomplete. How do I finish it? How do I use it?
- The Deep City... what do I do with it?
Currently planning an underground vault to fill with children to ensure survival. However, I am too afraid to unpause.
I want to look at this. But I'm afraid to.Don't be afraid. It/they/he can smell fear.
SanDiego withdraws from society...Ohhhh dear. Not another Yak bone scepter.

I may have found the reason for the Voidspawn-thrall rivalry. I'm probably wrong, but if I'm right, the Voidspawn just need the tag "[NOT_LIVING]" added to their raws and they'll stop fighting their thralls.
Doesn't that just make the creature an invalid target for necromancy/etc?Should also remove antagonism from [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE]. However, if your theory is correct it doesn't matter. Only way to test, of course, is to edit the raws.
Espir unfortunately killed Saber.I have experienced my first death in this fort. Am I in the cool kids club now?
The second one was just spitting webs.Nevermind. I think I see what happened.
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS

Also, I think I ordered a slab to be engraved for shaggard eariler, you might want to check the stocks screen.I'd love to, but all workforce is 100% taxed at the moment. Most of the people are building coffins and burying dead, some are upgrading our walls and smelting and the rest hauls crap around. I think i may suspend the metalworking, but the slab still has to wait for burials to be done.
Post the description of any FB or demon and I will tell you what its poison does.

I don't think the pain manifests when the poison is eaten.
There are at least two separate corpses belonging to someone called 'Ringo'. Also, I booted Ringo out of Guard captain's quarters, but I honestly have no idea if he's alive or not.O.O
13th Felsite 272
The process of interring AnimaRytak's corpse was acompanied by a Troll, who decided to torture a random chicken. Void-wraths have been dispatched to rectify this issue.
Belay that. Mad Fool killed the troll on his way to bed.
What I found absolutely hysterical about the entire troll incident is that nobody gave a single flying fuck. I mean seriously, people were just going around, minding their bussiness, nevermind the troll smashing a chicken against the wall.
The troll probably only died because it woke the Mad Fool up in the first place.
Also, I've been playing the Binding of Isaac a lot lately and reading that post made me realize I really want to make some Murdermachines-themed tarot cards. ( I don't do tarot or advise it, but it'd just be interesting to look at. )
* eye roll * They don't predict the future, they manipulate it. I'd rather leave my future up to other forces and/or myself. Moreover, anything you can learn about yourself and your present can be learned through simple conversation. And as per the past? Well, who cares about that?
Anyways... We should start getting down a list of characters and where they fit.
For example, the Fool is obvious, the Emperor should be Anima, I think, Terry is the Devil, I might be Justice, the Tower is the Fort itself. ( For obvious reasons. ) TheSpawnVoidspawn might be Death... My character might be Justice but more likely is the Hierophant. I dunno. Anyone else? Suggestions?
Yes, Aeon is the twenty-second card, and the card that I have drawn literally every time I take a Tarot reading.No Eldritch Abomination card? Shame.
And yeah, I guess Terry does fit better as the Devil.

I've checked on my file of the fort, and Mafol has no one for family, EXCEPT a pet bunny ._. which gives me the image of Mafol, fully armored and bloodied, causally playing with his tiny bunny.:I That's terrifying.

Readded myself to the dorf list, and can someone please put me on the overseer's list?As far as I know, there isn't a concrete list of who goes when. Not since Anima went AWOL.
The turn order is more of an anarchy. Just grab the save and see ifthey can stop you.you can complete a year at all.

So, it seems that, until we find someone able to play the fort, I was the last overseer of the fort ._. Though we'll probably find someone to play.Wait, so you're telling me I can just take the save and play it now? THE REIGN OF ORDER WILL BEGIN SHORTLY! DO YOUR WORST, CHAOTIC SCUM!
5. Murder Terry. He's last because he isn't much of a threat.Terry's danger level depends on your computer. I was safe because my computer could run just fine, although I think he tried to unleash literal hell on me.
I don't need to. Your arrogance will drag the entire fortress down, human.We'll see about that.
goddamn dwarven machine gun
Have I been Mercy Killed yet? It's been awhile since I was last here...Nope, you're still alive and healthy. I've assigned you hunting duty, so you will die gloriously in the first goblin ambush.
Hurrah! I pity my dorf for having to be Terry's Spouse for this long.
Cue Terry posting saying he doesn't.Hurrah! I pity my dorf for having to be Terry's Spouse for this long.Well, your dorf's hubby got her a cat~ Maybe it does have a heart after all~
Somehow I managed to make Murdermachines orderly. Orderly.The impossible has been achieved?
Did you really clear the surface? Or did you go the way of the weaklings and used DFhack?I have been using DFhack a lot, but I stopped about midsummer. I did clean the surface with autodump. But at that point, I was more concerned with not killin my computer than not being a weakling.
Wow. Not only did I do something useful, I survived.Welcome to Murdermachines.
Also, was the battlefield lit on fire by any chance?No. Also, I'm going to fix a lot of bugs in the voidspawn right before I give the save back. Plaguebringers currently shoot clouds of voidspawn skin. And I'm taking an extra month, too.
You should probably list what you are going to fix before fixing them, since some of them might be intentional. Most likely not, but possibility always exists.I fixed plaguebringers shooting skin instead of lesser taint and both taint not causing necrosis.
They what? So you're telling me that Plaguebringer shoot clouds of skin that IGNITE things?Also, was the battlefield lit on fire by any chance?No. Also, I'm going to fix a lot of bugs in the voidspawn right before I give the save back.

They what? So you're telling me that Plaguebringer shoot clouds of skin that IGNITE things?No, they were trying to shoot 'POISON', but voidspawn don't have a material named 'POISON'. Instead, the game made them shoot the first material defined, which is voidspawn skin.
Something tells me that was intended.
Talonis gave birth to a boy. That reminds me of something I need to do.[/glow]Anima ll anyone?
I just noticed the update above, holy shit.Stick this in the quotes list.
You just forced the abomination that haunted us for ages now to step into a room where it was to be stabbed to death, therefore freeing Talonis from the certain domestic violence and/or rape that was sure to be had between the two.

Quickly, someone engrave him a slab!
I'd like to imagine that Shaggard's skeleton will stand the test of voidternity underneath that lake, a testament to the excellent throwing arm of your average troll.Bones don't decay, even in water, so your corpse and many others could very well be the last thing that embodies Murdermachines in the end, along with the corpse of the fort.
Take care, I took a look at it and it is a mess. I couldn't make heads nor tails of what was going on.I did clean up a lot, but I can't do anything about the layout. No one can impose that much order on Murdermachines.
I think I could try. Supposedly it's been cleaned up a bit.No, use the one in my post. Anima hasn't been updating anything because he's missing.
Is the save on the front page the correct one?
My stasis bomb took you out? Pitiful. A shame; you /were/ a legend to these humans.guess who just found the key bindings menu.

This should be the latest save.
For your first time, that was excellent, Wolf.Thanks. Really though, I was lucky. Lucky that it was only a goblin siege, lucky that the civilians didn't choose to sock stampede into to the goblins, and definitely lucky that the FB—well, I'll leave that for the next update...
EDIT: LET ME REPHRASE THAT, FIRST TIME RUNNING A FORT.
We have invisible ducks fighting, untold horrors spitting frozen poison and trolls randomly wandering in to murder out citizens. Bussiness as usual, then?Not to mention the military entering the any room other than the room with their target in it.
What the fanged land torpedo (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=121407.msg5040363#msg5040363) is going on here? I come back from my vacation and...it's just more of the same? Really, step it up a notch people. Let's breach hell for demondamn sake.
I might be able to actually play again. What say I have next go?I'll take the one after that. I think it's about time to conquer hell and die trying.
I gots me a new computer, so after you (if you don't die via demon tentacles), I shall take another swing at the fort.I might be able to actually play again. What say I have next go?I'll take the one after that. I think it's about time to conquer hell and die trying.
What the hell happened!? Where was everyone when saber was killed! He was a swordsmaster!Legendary swordsdwarf, yes. Legendary swimmer, notsomuch.
Why do we have the ghost of a dwarven child? What is wrong with this place?Welcome to the Murdermachines. Please leave your sanity at the door.
But why was he out by the ponds?He saw a goblin squad and he charged. Problaby could have won if he didn't dodge into the freaking pond.
Blast! Curse my dodging skill.But why was he out by the ponds?He saw a goblin squad and he charged. Problaby could have won if he didn't dodge into the freaking pond.
My god, all those deaths. Whoever's next is going to have a hard time fixing this.Yeah, sorry about that. I'm pretty sure that that most of the deaths wouldn't have happened if the military had stationed where I told it to station though. Rrggh.
Well, at least we have the stuff for a new flamesword. Does Titan flame normally burn hotter or colder than demon flame?The same temperature.
So, can someone clarify this for me? Did you actually make a sword out of demon fire? How?Not yet. However, Deathgate has. As to how, no one is quite sure.

Right?
Yeah. Should I message McCellan?Probably.
So was this just abandoned by anima?Yeah, Anima went AWOL a while back. No one has heard from him since. (Unless he became/merged with Terry)
It seems to be going very slowly with no official turn list.
It might be good idea to combine turn list with dorfing list.Good idea.
Yeah, Anima went AWOL a while back. No one has heard from him since. (Unless he became/merged with Terry)Did I... Did I kill Anima?
That makes two of us. :)Yeah, Anima went AWOL a while back. No one has heard from him since. (Unless he became/merged with Terry)Did I... Did I kill Anima?
McCellan says he can start his turn on Saturday.McClellan. And yea, I'm just hear to confirm what Wolfkit said. Depending on whether or not my girlfriend will be angry with me later I might be able to start today, but I'm definitely gonna work on it tommorrow.
Sorry.O.O That's eerie.
Also, OH CHERT I think I just saw Terry at my college. He was wearing hot pink tight shorts, roller blades, a dress shirt half tucked into his shorts with the sleeves pushed up to his elbows, a tie, white rimmed sunglasses, and had a boom box.
Sorry.All of my wat.

Wow, that was a bloody turn. As a seasoned Deathgater, I hereby award Wolfkit the Yuli Vlasi Award for Lifetime Achievement, the medal of all those who successfully butchered our military.Why, thank you! I shall display this award proudly.
You're in august company, son.
I started breeding ducks for a new duck machine.I noticed. Spammed the combat log half to hell.

Is... Is Murdermachines still alive? If so, that's actually really kinda terrifying.
It's only about as alive as an El'Drazi, but yes, it is alive. Kinda.
I would also like stats on my dorf, if that's not too much to ask. I remember that he/she is named Din, and is a metalsmith.Din=Recovering wounded. Has been quite content lately. Gave somebody food and enjoyed it. Concerned about rejection and ridicule. That's it. Also, it's she.
Wow, coming back to DF after a long hitatus, and I'm shocked that this fort is still going, AND I'm still alive O_O;Turn list:
Where's the current turn list, and can I get stats on my dorf.
When did the Voidgod reincarnate into a child?That was me. Mwahahahah
Speaking of Dwarf stats. Is Grom alive?Dunno how you died before, but I dorfed you on my turn. While in Murdermachines your dorf has had 2 kills, but has 74 unimportant kills from before Murdermachines. Mostly animal men and giant animals.
Speaking of Dwarf stats. Is Grom alive?So far the only dwarf that has died was the Berserk child, so you should still be alive.
Hey, I'd like to put this up to a vote. Next time the fortress dies we have an Adventurer succession mode where the quest is to take an artifact from somewhere in the world and bring it to MurderMachines. ( Kind of like Bralbaard's Museum (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=104399.0;topicseen) ) Conversely, our quest could be to take an artifact from MurderMachines and bring it back to another fort.+1

And do you say this because our lovely fort is about to perish again?
So, where's terry? after I kick his ass, I've got to go kill Mr. PopoTerry's dead. As is Talonis. I don't know exactly what happened, but I suspect it has to do with the three-year-old little girl that is Anima. Still trucking along... Sorry for the delays but college got really college-y over the past three days and all my work ended up being for nothing because all English professors are conclusively evil and unforgiving. So now I have this nice Masterwork Graphite Essay to burn. ;)
Anyways, instead of doing my turn, I slacked off by making a Bay12 Cards Against Humanity pack.WANT
Give me thirteen hours and I'll go, if nobody else does.

Seriously, though, we need to have a discussion about how to finish this. It seems like the fort's dying for real this time.
I say we crack the clown car and lore the slaughter as us joining them.
Guess I'm cracking theCLOG THE PONDShighbloodclown car, then.
DON'T LOOK AT ME I'M HOMESTUCK TRASH
E: Ok, downloaded and booted up. Holy shit I'm getting 14 FPS this is great~ And no that wasn't sarcasm; I normally get ~5 FPS.
Are there any administrative things I should do before going to war?
Remove as much trash as you can. Maybe gather up the animals to fight the clowns. And see if you can persuade a moody dwarf to use the titan flames.
The FlamesWhat about the mes?
During my turn a Titan made of flame appeared, and when it died it left a bodypart behind. Said bodypart was its flames. We want to see if we can recreate the red monster sword with it.The FlamesWhat about the mes?
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
My god.
It still lives.
If by derped you mean deaded, then only a tad. Also, your fatherson is dead, but there's a little girl running around the fort with your name and title.
I seem to have derped.I totally didn't have a hand in your demise and err "reincarnation".
I just noticed the update above, holy shit.
You just forced the abomination that haunted us for ages now to step into a room where it was to be stabbed to death, therefore freeing Talonis from the certain domestic violence and/or rape that was sure to be had between the two.
*starts slow clap*
Now, on the list of things that are not OK, that was really not OK.
My god....Anima?
It still lives.
My god.Like every other eldritch abomination. It refuses to die.
It still lives.
Even after being mismanaged, invaded, scorched, driven to insanity, haunted, gutted, repopulated, invaded again, and scared shitless by a disembowled deer, this fortress is still going. It's like if a local vampire was chewing a clove of garlic and sipping holy water while sunbathing on the wooden roof of a church.

Most supercomputers are as powerful as they are due to the multitude of cores they have. DF runs on one core. The only advantage to having more than one core would be that other programs could run off of them.I may be wrong, but can't you configure DF to run multi-core? Besides, at very least most of the cores on a super computer run about a GHz faster than the ones I can get.
I'm going to get a new computer, but that's a few months away still. Far too long a time.
Ok, I've completely given up waiting for a frame to pass on this fort. I'll zip it and upload it later today.The chaos was inside us all along! We'll just all play the save until we get bored or something happens to us.

I'm making 20-something demons into one creature. This is much easier because I already did this for a set of demons. You can see them in the Blood for Armok mod in my sig. And yes, these demons will be every bit as terrifying, except they will be wearing armor and wielding weapons. We're royally fucked.I can already feel the destruction upon us. Someone pm me when Deathgate 3 starts up.
I'm trying to imagine the demon-composite, and I'm basically thinking of it as a mish-mash of various textures in an semi-amorphous, vaguely humanoid blob of flesh, with unspeakable fluids dripping off of it. The flame demons are forming it's teeth. Why it's teeth? So that a: it will light creatures on fire when it bites them and b: when the teeth are punched out, they will set the surrounding area on fire as well.You're overthinking this. I'm making each demon one caste of a creature. They share some things, like skills or size, but mostly they are separate individuals.
Well, his mortal form died a while back, if that's what ya mean?

Lack of FPS. We decided to end it by invading hell...again.What are your beefiest specs so that I know what I'll need.
Hey, I meant to do it this time. And the last time was totally Yuli Vlasi's fault, plus whoever designed the front gate in a way that made it impossible to tell if it was open or closed.Because of a higher clock rate? Also I'm reviving it from wherever the save I've been given is and am getting decent FPS on the school computers. And that's not even the Comp Sci computers which I haven't tried yet.
CaptainMcClellan, you'll probably need a late-generation dual-core processor to run the fort. I was getting decent FPS giving it a core to itself on my Phenom II X2, but my understanding is that nobody else was able to coax worthwhile FPS out of the thing. If someone wants to resurrect from the save before mine and try to create an alternate ending I'm completely cool with it, I just figured I'd write an ending since I seemed to be about the only person who could make one happen.
Amusingly, DF is literally one of the reasons why I went with a late-model dual-core instead of a quad-core processor.
I'm not sure exactly when that same is from, but it is the most recently posted one. Keep up the good work!Yes.
Wait, did I, grammar-nazi and semi-OCD, just misspell something and take more than three looks to notice it? OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD. PANIC.I'm not sure??

Right, that's pretty much what I thought you meant. Heh. My school's Comp Sci Lab has eight core processors! XD Sadly, they're all only like 1.2 GHz apiece. ( To note: It makes sense that they're built this way, they're designed for virtualization and testing programs in multiple environments.Hey, I meant to do it this time.

Amusingly, DF is literally one of the reasons why I went with a late-model dual-core instead of a quad-core processor.
DF is single-threaded, unless Toady managed to do some parallelization in the last few releases and I forgot about it.
A dual-core processor will outperform a quad-core in a case like that when the overall clock speed of the processor is similar, even though a slower quad-core will often outperform a faster dual-core on multithreaded applications. The reason being, the individual capabilities of each core will be higher for the dual-core versus the quad-core. A dual core is thus pretty ideal for running DF, because you do need the separate cores so that you can fully dedicate one to the DF process (you can't do this on a single-core because there are essential processes that need to be able to run in parallel with DF itself).
When I run Dwarf Fortress, I generally assign it to run only on one of my two processor cores, and instruct Windows to offer DF pretty much exclusive rights to that core (High priority generally). This means that everything else that needs to run that isn't the DF process gets the second core, and DF takes the first core.
It means that my computer is a bit underpowered for a lot of other applications, but it means that it's taken years for processors to catch up to the single-core performance of mine from 2010. (Although some poking at some benchmark sites does suggest that I've finally been overtaken by higher-end i5 and i7 quad-cores.)
Specs don't matter; Dwarf Fortress itself is the only entity that decides how well it runs.Oh, so it just likes me then? -:P

Peendiiinng?20 Credit Hours and a sleep condition tend to stymy any personal time, and whether y'all approve or not, I spend most of that talking to my girlfriend of playing some dumb game on my tablet because my laptop isn't working and I'm not about to try the desktop computer at home. Maybe if I lived on campus and had 24-hour access to free comps I'd play more. Good news though, I should be getting a new charger for my laptop in a few business days! Also, as soon as I do my homework today ( or rather if I do ) I'll put in an hour or so on the fort.
Well in that case you're fine! I often find people just need reminding, if you actually have, say, real life in the way then then priority is obvious!Oh, no. I need those too. :3 Side-effects to being busy or asleep a lot is that I am very forgetful. If you don't hear from me in like... 3 days, I probably need a reminder or I've gone on vacation.
(( Completely unrelated, but I have another interpretation of Global Warming. It's not a new one, but here you go: The Earth has a fever.

Honestly, I kinda like that idea too. Actually, I had a similar thought about shit like HIV/AIDS. I mean, an extremely contagious, unavoidably lethal virus that exploits your own immune system to kill you? Sounds like a species killswitch to me.That it's spread by bodily fluid transfer does give a bit of credence to the notions of the crazy religious fanatics... Though the thought that it's a specific punishment exclusively for one group is where I draw the line and call bullshit. Mm. It's more of a general warning, albeit more drastic than all of the ones we've ignored thusfar since the epoch of the "Age of Reason". ( Which I've always found to be a weird epithet. Reading any historical work by an intellectual shows that we've, if anything, become more unreasonable. Perhaps we are more "tolerant" and even knowledgeable these days, but not more reasonable. )

Yeah, I suppose... There's always the notion that the universe runs on a higher level but I guess past a certain point human reasoning fails and any argument over descriptors becomes mere semantics. (( As per astral projection, I don't think human methods of it, ie the ones reported and purported by various "paranormal investigators", are legitimate/real/true/whatever term you want to use for the opposite of a lie. Do I think it's possible? Well, that heavily depends on what we're referring to as astral projection. To me, that implies a "ventriloquism of conscious" in which one is able to displace one's consciousness from their body without doing so completely (ie without dying/leaving behind a brain-dead body) and then, do the even more improbable tasks of manifesting that consciousness in any form tangible or ethereal and being able to perceive things from said form. I simply think it's out of the realm of human ability, especially these days. If it existed prior in history, I cannot with any certainty confirm or deny, but I can say that no recent (past 4 centuries or so) account seems to stand up to scrutiny or else simply lacks evidence.))Yes.

Well, if I were to make a comparison between sentiences and computer languages... Particularly hierarchy of level. Us young mortal creatures, we are relatively quite far removed from the essence of the Universe itself((although then you factor in astral projection... don't get me started on that))and we can only really comprehend our own sentience, and perhaps "sentiences" we create, and maybe the sentiences of other creatures. But planets would be a lower level, closer to the Universe's essence, and possess a kind of sentience incomprehensible to us, and stars perhaps at a lower level. Then you move to larger scales of nebulae ((my first thoughts on celestial sentience were nebula-based)) and galaxies, then clusters and superclusters, while also ((or alternatively)) moving to smaller scales of molecules and atoms -- the assembly code andbinarytrinary digits of our Universe.
Also, I'd really like to see how something like THIS (http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2013/01/the-largest-structure-universe-discovered-quasar-group-4-billion-light-years-wide-challenges-current.html) ticks, if indeed celestial sentience is true. To be entirely honest, if we're searching for deities I say we look there.

Well, on the astral projection front, I believe that I have successfully performed the feat once ((with divine aid)) in the common sense, and maybe several other times in another sense ((a transposition of a single consciousness between two soulbound bodies)), but I have no hard evidence to support my claim, so take it as you will. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
On the deity front... Your belief that the Universe is manifested inside a divine consciousness is certainly an interesting one; is that not what mortal writers do? It's certainly a fresh look, especially compared to my own belief that the Universe is tended externally, by not one, nor even a few, not even HUNDREDS, but OVER SEVENTEEN THOUSAND divine figures, most of which do not appear in Earthen mythology and/or religious media, be it text or otherwise.I also believe that two of them maintain semi-regular contact with me through their avatar's manifestation inside my headspace/soulspace, but again, no hard evidence. I still sometimes think that they're mere delusions, but judging by how lucidly I acknowledge both them and my other headmates, as well as my psychologist's reactions to my accounts, I doubt they are mere delusions.
Also, that last sentence of yours... What exactly did you mean by that? It's very late here, so it may be my own folly at misunderstanding it, but still '^^

Sadly probably delusions. * pats * Just in case though, be wary not to accept everything they say without some serious consideration. ( Especially considering that which masquerades as deific could well be demonic. ) As per sharing "soulspace", that's not possible, I think you're misunderstanding what a soul is. It's not the same as a conscious or a spirit, it's more analogous to the "source code" of a being's spirit, which can be packed and unpacked by will of those who have that kind of permission. Or another interpretation is that it's something that's developed over time in any cognizant being, but I don't really hold much to that. Either way, it's distinct from the conscious and subconscious "headspaces", though it can influence them. As per your spirit, while I think it can commune with things and supersedes basic consciousness, it still can't really be shared in the sense you say. Moreover, I still find it highly dubious that you have successfully performed astral projection, especially in light of a real or delusional contact with extraterrestrial beings. (( Though you did say "with divine aid", so it's possible. Visions, I think, are distinct from astral projection though, so if you had one of those, it wouldn't count. A vision is more like a spiritual space that conscious and spirit can be brought to temporarily and presented things in allegorical form, the interpretations of which you may then fail to properly ascertain when later recounting it. ( There is also the matter of determining who initiated the vision, which is important. ) Also, like dreams and memories, these visions can later be actively corrupted by your cognitive functions, possibly with no way to stop that. )) That you say that the universe is tended externally by these divine figures, I doubt. I think these maintainers are not so much divine as aligned with divinity and act as agents within the universe on the behalf of the creator. I also think that they're under strict orders not to intervene with the affairs of conscious and physical beings beyond what their job requires, with exception only by explicit order and that any who break this are treated as if they had broken taboo. Possibly with the ostracism involved, and most likely with severe punishment. Compare the concepts of angels and fallen angels and that's basically what I think, except only slightly more complex and that they ( the ones who still follow ) actively guard against "exceptions" in the execution of the universe. i.e. microscopic or macroscopic events that could destroy cognizant lives before their appointed times by some unusual scenario of physics, probably in a realm beyond even our comprehension of quantum physics and cosmology. ) ( As an additional note: I can't recall for certain, but I think that "angel" has a specific meaning and only refers to one class of these beings, which... if I'm remembering right is the messengers. I... * shrug * It's beyond me to say for sure on much. But with that in mind, no all of these beings wouldn't be angels, but that term has kinda come to refer to them all, and that's the context I'm using it in. )
Which? The very last? All knowledge must be taken on faith, that's pretty straight forward. Even "proofs" can be disproven, right? That humans have to take knowledge on faith isn't a call to eschew knowledge as "uncertain" or "inexact", as much as it is motivation to put trust in some higher power than ourselves.

Well, delusions or not, they're very friendly and haven't shown any ill bearing towards me, nor have they tried to influence me off the path of common sense((discounting when one of my headmates reawoke after a long post-manifestation hibernation and immediately tried to take control and eat literally everything and everyone. Mercifully she was still half asleep and could be beaten back until she woke fully and came to reason))so no harm no foul, right?~
And, on that "soul == source code" thing... If I were to describe my own soul in such a context, it would be two incredibly different foreign code modules bound together by a foreign netcode module, and MAYBE there's a local parent module in there somewhere that I haven't been able to identify. Are you by any chance familiar with the concept of otherkin? ((Perhaps my analogy of the transposed consciousness was a little awry... I'll need to do some more analysis. I still don't know how physical/metaphysical my destination actually is.))
I don't think what I experienced was a vision; it was certainly as if I had just been transported somewhere and was indeed conversing with an entity. It's rather fun discussing death with a deity that maintains a death-related sphere.
And yes, angels were the messenger spirits.
You know, I honestly don't know what to say about the last page or so, but it was cool. I spent the last... Ehh... Seven hours testing a glitchy, mechanically incomplete robot, so my brain is consumed and unable to form a proper comment on the subject, one which I find genuinely interesting.Honestly, that sounds more interesting to me. What are you building a robot for?

And there is definitely harm done if a headmate tried to eat people, even if you were able to stop it. In my opinion, which is different from modern and postmodern psychology I know, headmates occur when an individual lacks a strong primary persona and as a result every set of urges, especially conflicting ones, is compartmentalized into it's own identity, but they're mostly fractures of the same person, instead of possession or legitimate DID. ( If you choose to believe you're among the exception, that is fine but either way I have to emphasize the need for caution and recommend that you work on building your main persona and building the character thereof. )
Nah, all souls are written in the same source code and humans probably only have one. Some Hindu ( and possibly some Buddhist ) study speculates that humans have three souls. To me, there's insufficient evidence that this is the case and possibly also comes from another misunderstanding of what a soul is, because I do not know what they define as a soul.
Also, I have no idea where you went. Though, a question, did you ask on what authority said being was talking to you on?
SO ANYWAY, are we going to start the next chapter anytime soon?
SO ANYWAY, are we going to start the next chapter anytime soon?Um, yeah. I'm like... 7 in-game days in as of last time I tried to play and uh... I'm on right now playing DnD through Google Docs with some friends and trying to get some homework done at the same time, but I figured while I was procrastinating anyway by DnD playing I'd check the forums. So far the only interesting events are that Ulborb named a shield something and that two dwarves are (still) stranded outside of MurderMachines.

Also, I have no idea where you went. Though, a question, did you ask on what authority said being was talking to you on?I REFUSE TO LEAVE TUMBLR, THE PEOPLE THERE HAVE TAUGHT ME THAT I'M NOT A BROKEN MISTAKE. Plus I met my girlfriend on Tumblr, sooo '^^
I don't think it's possession nor DID, but one past life and one alternate life soulbound to me across time ((and death, in one case)). I say this option because I have access to the memories of both of these lives, even if I don't understand the languages both lives spoke in ((which is a damn pain...)). Also, one of them is incredibly interested in your side to this conversation; he finds it a theory worth pursuing. The other's a bit... wary. She's telling me to tread carefully.
I'd try to draw a representation of my soul, but the last time I tried drawing something I got hit with major dissociation and gods that was terrifying, so I'll pass on that.
As for where I went... In the case of the deity conversation, it was a temple by a river, on an overcast night. There were other people there ((humanoid, but I dunno if they were human)) doing what seemed to be acts of worship towards statues of the being before the being rose out of the river. It looked like it was made of starlight. It introduced itself as "the God by whom all mortals pass", so I'd assume a God of death, or passage, or some such.

This is getting a little ridiculous. Are we now still going on with McClellan's attempt or are we going for Deathgate III?I say Deathgate III. For the name, we should just do random names until we get a good one.
Name of Deathgate III cannot be random, no. It should follow theme.Hmm... Or something like that, yeah.
So name of Deathgate III should be "Killerlevers", if such name is even possible. I would prefer such thematic naming convention.
This is getting a little ridiculous. Are we now still going on with McClellan's attempt or are we going for Deathgate III?Why not both?
Helm/Heim... Close enough. As to the Void God, well, he is the purview of Anima.Anima is disassociated with this endeavour as of now. If he is able to return, it's not unreasonable that the Voidgod would as well. The real question is who will begin this venture. Let's set some rules. We nominate the progenitor, we cannot nominate ourself, and only five can be nominated. All nominees must have taken at least one turn in Deathgate or Murdermachines and respond to a PM notificafion. Then we have a blind poll to elect from our nominees to determine who makes the next fort. In case of a tie it comes down to first available. Whoever makes the next fort gets to write the transition story and make the thread, but must take into account the canon and the opinions of the players. The name of the fort will be put up to a separate vote which will be conducted alongside nominations. This sound fair to everyone?
It sounds fair to me. Can we nominate multiple people, or just one?Eh, depends on how many nominees there already are.
So what's the explanation for the dual continuation? Timeline split, or were some (parts) of our dwarven mind parasites left behind?* shrug * Which do you think is better?
I vote mePsssh. We're not voting yet, we're still nominating.
I nominate you.I vote mePsssh. We're not voting yet, we're still nominating.
Me or Flame?I nominate you.I vote mePsssh. We're not voting yet, we're still nominating.
You, Captain McClellan, sir.Thank you. ( * restraining excitement at being nominated in order to maintain a false dignity. * )
Heh, you have every right to be exited. Slaughterhiem awaits!Mmm, yeah. I'm still playing MurderMachines. To be honest though, I've lost track of what's what. We've had two deaths so far: A Berserking child and a woodcutter who met a mysterious and unfortunate end in the caverns. ( I'm a bit worried about that... ) However, it seems like I'm making progress. I wanted to ask thoiugh, may I use DFHack's autodump and a few other commands to try and raise the framerate? ( It's not the worst I've ever played, about 35-40 FPS, but it could be better. )
Dude, you can't be more DFhack-happy than I was. I used fastdwarf constantly when there weren't sieges, and autodump a lot too. THERE MUST BE ORDER!Indeed there must! Alright then, now that I have permission, I suspect things are going to go smoother. One question for everyone though, what were your big projects here?
Smelting and melting. I'm the reason we have over a thousand steel bars. I'm also the reason we have several legendary furnace operators and a metal bar quantum stockpile.Well I thank you for that, but you know what I just discovered today? Out of damn near twenty overseers, not one thought to build a millstone. And with that, I'm about to post the mid-spring update! :D
DAMMIT WHY AM I DEAD AGAINNo idea... Are you dead? I don't remember reporting/witnessing your death. I can't actually check until later, but that's that.
I WAS A LEGENDARY FURNACE OPERATOR
I nominate Kefka! 8)Yes!

Yep! :) By the time thw voting is done, I should be done with my turn, so we'll be able to start even if I win. That is an important question though, does any one want a turn after me on MurderMachines?274/02/09:How has this happened twice?

Also, yay, new fort time!
May I? I have lurked for the first, and 2nd Deathgate. I would love to have a year, if no one else minds.I don't mind. I've got a few super projects I'm working on and if noone wanted it, I was just gonna keep rolling, but that's alright, I'm sure I'll get my chance again. Given how productive this year has gone, I might have a pretty substantial headway into the completion of this thing, but at very least I'm gonna have most of the duct work done and a working BATTERY powered millstone. I have a question though, should I keep my project secret or just announce it since we're gonna be opening Deathgate III soon?
Alright folks, time to begin world gen.Lol, he means the Voidspawn? I don't know what happened between then and now and this is the first I've gotten around to actually reading the whole thread... but the Voidspawn are pretty pathetic compared to our current military. That said, do we want more hostile races for Slaughterhelm/Deathgate III?
I'm going to include a custom, hostile race in this version. Be warned, they are extremely potent.
I'm also going to be placing us down in a hostile land. There's so many possibilities in this new version and it's Deathgate's job to break them all.
Gentlemen, I believe we have our orders. :P ( I mean, technically we don't have to because at this point, I'm pretty sure that MurderMachines just passed 2 years old. )So does Deathgate II have any major goal besides "survive the voidspawn?" I mean we already colonized hell.
Ooh! Get voidspawn INTO Hell!
The only thing that saddens me is that the next DF version is too far off for us to have waited for it; the fact that Deathgate I effectively died a slow death by starvation deeply saddens me. We need the world to be filled with rampant boning in order to produce theexpendable slave labormeat puppets we need.
If the voidspawn work as intended, just surviving them is going to be insanely hard.
But aside from "not die" and "build huge awesome mega projects", Murdermachines doesn't really have a main goal.
If, for some reason, Murdermachines dies quicker than Deathgate (which lasted 19 months by the way), then we'll settle Deathgate III into an evil, savage biome with voidspawn access and evil rain.
Whatever.Gentlemen, I believe we have our orders. :P ( I mean, technically we don't have to because at this point, I'm pretty sure that MurderMachines just passed 2 years old. )So does Deathgate II have any major goal besides "survive the voidspawn?" I mean we already colonized hell.

Opinions all, should Slaughterhelm be in aggressive, hellish world full of improbable spikes of death and doom, or just an average world that we corrupt by our presence? ( Also, I have some ideas for if I start the fort, in terms of story... )
Sure, but I A'int about to deal with no goopy death rains! By which I mean that the entire sky will be obscured by our construction!!! Also "Citadel" doesn't seem like enough... May I suggest "Cancer of the Earth" for its title?Whatever.Gentlemen, I believe we have our orders. :P ( I mean, technically we don't have to because at this point, I'm pretty sure that MurderMachines just passed 2 years old. )So does Deathgate II have any major goal besides "survive the voidspawn?"

But settling in the evil area is mandatory. I want glumprongs grow all aroung the Citadel!
And we have our custom race of demons as our extra-spicy version of the Voidspawn, remember? Also, I still kind of want to see whether the addition of the tag [NOT_LIVING] fixes the Voidspawn revolution bug.No I don't remember... and that's really what we should be doing now, testing creatures, maybe even materials. I'll get onto that later today. ( I misplaced the flash drive with the MurderMachines save and haven't had the chance to clean house yet, because of college and mild illness of self and girlfriend from the cold spell. I've seen it as recently as Tuesday so nobody panic yet. In the mean-time... testing. ) I for one would like to mod in some domovoi ( think kobold/cat/ghost hybrids that settle in forts, eat your food, steal/move things and are voidthrall compatible ) and wood-demons/Skull Kids from LoZ. Among other things.
I'm not sure how terrifying you want your foes to be, but while I was modding a race to be fun to play with as a an adventurer I decided to make them have a civilization and such, but initially they were female only. Later I figured out how to make fully differentiated sexes and didn't realize that a bunch of steel angels and their much less common hyperfast non-winged steel mini-armoks would, well, run armok during world-gen and take over (though they are naturally very peaceful) until I limited their site pops and such heavily. They still do a good job setting up weird little mountain hamlets and towns, but that isn't the point here.Wow... Yeah. While in transit to this terminal I had ideas for a type of titan called a "Nightbringer" that is basically designed like an Enderman with tentacles coming from its arms that is very difficult to kill but its only attack is to release a mist that causes blindness and for a terrible set of beings called reapers that sound a good bit like your steel angels, except undead, opposed to life, and with scyther arms. ( And naturally a high preference for decapitation. )
The point is, I've made adventurers into master vampires from the dark ages mod, had them geared with full sets of artifact gear using a modded metal (steel mass+candy properties), legendary out the ass combat skills, using the silly-fun "bullet time" speed boost ability so they're running around at 9.9 speed right?
I had one of these adventurers who I had a lot of fun playing with after I found you can hit someone with a platinum war hammer in the head, send them flying, and THEN cut their head off with a battle axe in mid-air... she has something stupid like 1300 kills. She rampaged through hell but the demons were boring, she's killed hydras by trying to rip their guts out with her teeth and having them BLEED to death (I then realized the guts were way too heavy to rip out like that... ) and singlehandedly depopulated the world of monsters and beasts besides the few FB's hiding from her in the caverns.
There is one thing I will not do with her: pick a fight with a steel angel, nothing is more terrifying in adventurer mode than something which is just as brokenly fast as you, has no organs to injure, no bones or skin to feel pain from, has hand-to-hand attacks tuned and designed for removing limbs AND can fly.
I'd love to help out and test some modded creatures for you folks by putting it up against an angel-blender, by which I mean taking control of in adventurer mode and picking a fight with some... though I don't recommend going with the full speed-boosted solid steel delimbing machines themselves, having something which can last against them at all is a good judge of how much fun it would be to fight it with an army of decked out military dorfs.
Oh, if you would like a solution to the "voidspawn won't use weapons" problem, I've got a lot of practice tweaking hand-to-hand attacks for delimbing, as I said, there are some values that you can set to what seem rather absurd levels which do the job very well.
The angels were my "man, a bronze colossus is scary until you're swinging a steel or candy weapon with high dodging skills... what if they were made of steel... *hmmm* I bet..." moment that got me playing around with modding stuff. Elf sized, steel insted of bronze, stupid fast, and they can fly... plus their hand to hand attacks have a couple new options I just labeled "poke" and "chop" with high penetration and high severing ability, respectively.Woo! Now the question is, can you make something that isn't incredibly fatal?
I once stumbled onto a steel angel bandit camp which was being attacked by some of the soldier angels from a neighboring hamlet, it was absolutely terrifying, little metal women zooming around hacking each other up, metal body parts sailing every which way, like being a normal human in the middle of a DBZ battle, except I was a demi-god elf vampire adventurer with like 4.4 speed and still waaaaaaaaaay out of my league, I ran and am proud that I got away despite the easily followed trail of piss I no doubt left behind me.
The fights I've had with them (mostly accidents, a couple ambushes I didn't run from fast enough) tend to be me trying to maneuver in, then a barrage of injuries spam the screen and "the steel angel brewer pokes you in the head and the severed part sails off in an arc, you have been struck down" shortly afterwards.
Hmmm... that is tricky.Sure. :P
Well, we already have voidspawn, plus demons, I don't think we'll make it past worldgen.Pfft. I've seen some pretty crazy things happen in worldgen, I think we'll be fine.

Let me link my demons again:So, some of the demons are really squishy and buggy in adventurer mode so they constantly give off bursts of boiling extract, which is kinda hilarious, but doesn't do as much as you'd think for their combat potential:

Probably. As long as it isn't wood - the voidspawn and goblins are bad enough, thanks.Right. Okay. So I just gotta take the stuff out of the bins and ban the bins. Then here we go! :D
Midway through summer now and I have a question: Why isn't the BATTERY producing power/How do I activate the BATTERY? I need to get the milling started.Water can escape through diagonals, yes.
Also, does liquid escape through corners?
:| This is very bad. It means I'm going to have to reengineer some of the ducts on my megaproject to correct for sloppiness. At this rate though, the fort is more likely to be powered by wind than water though, just so you guys know. ( The BATTERY, with all its connected appliances requires a whopping 1950 power, one set of the pumps, manually operated ( because someone fudged up the connections in the mechanisms that are supposed to power them anyway, which I have partially corrected ) only produces roundabout 500 power. ) As it is, the single functioning windmill produces only 40 power, so guess what fort is about to have a high z-level windfarm? ( Made nice and convenient due to the horizontal nature of windmills and the fact that being on the top z-level will provide virtually no obstruction to normal functions of the fortress. ) As a hint to what the mega-project is, it requires an obscene amount of flowing water ( and thus pumps and power ) but will also provide a lot of power and prevent a lot of tantrums. Not to mention looking really damn awesome. :) ( I encourage you all to use DFHack's clean and autodump destroy commands to keep the framerate at an operable level. ) I'd like to go ahead and sign up for another turn, because I'll be lucky to get the Windfarm and BATTERY functioning in this term, much less the entire megaproject. In the meantime, suggestions for powering our artifact millstone to grind dimple cups into midnight blue dye to use to dye tunics and make uniforms for our Peacekeeper squad are welcome. ( It might seem obsessive, but I will make it happen before I allow this fort to die. I will save-scum and necro this thread a hundred times if need-be, but I will have a uniformed police squad and a giant, unnecessary contraption up and running forever on its own power without any need for Dwarven intervention. )Midway through summer now and I have a question: Why isn't the BATTERY producing power/How do I activate the BATTERY? I need to get the milling started.Water can escape through diagonals, yes.

I vote a guitar with the Deathgate I symbol as the bottom part (it's really embarrassing that I can't remember the name) as the Murdermachines Sigil.Hmm. Sounds pretty nice, my idea was an ampersand, but the guitar is probably better.
Also, if you want your backup incarnation to be immortal, weresyndromes make you immune to aging.
I'm half-debating signing up for this, too, to make a giant waterslide transport system/defense, but it's going to be a while before I have a chance to participate.
With a gecko's severed head on it?Yeah... See, I don't know that I can effectively render that in ASCII. I'm sure it can be done, but you'll have to hire some pretty talented ASCII artist to do it.
There is... Definitely not a time limit. Even if a DG3 shows up, we're hardly gonna stop you messing around here.Yeah, I know. There was another guy who had next dibs though. XD Good to know though. :)
I want the save after my turn at Slaughterhelm is over.I think voting has a few more days, but besides that I haven't had a chance to finish my mods or generally do anything. I was out of town visiting family for my birthday and now that I'm back, I'm catching up on the homework I didn't do for that and other reasons. In addition, I was hoping to get the MurderMachines done first, but towards the interests of getting Slaughterhelm up and going, I'm going to focus on the mods first. ( Especially considering that MurderMachines might want to eat my time. )
So are we going to start it or not? I have all my mods ready, does anyone else have something they want to include?
There is no word 'heim' and I'm not going to the trouble of modding it in. Slaughterhelm it is.If you guys really want, I could add in "heim". It's not like we're talking creature modding here, which takes some time. It's just "find the language file, pop in 2-3 lines for the new word, save, done." Speaking of creature modding, how does one code in attacks? ( I think I've got the basics down for all the creatures I intend to add, just have to puzzle out the entities and make some bodyplan mods, as well as get the materials specked. )
Oh god I think it's kilopascals isn't it? I don't tweak the materials too much, just slapped together parts to make a denser candy/steel mix.kiloPascals? I can do that, the measures on the Wikipedia are in MegaPascals and GigaPascals. ( Though, to be honest, I'm not sure if I should use GigaPascals, seems like it'd be too big. After all, a MegaPascal would already be kiloPascal2, so a GigaPascal would be like kPa4, which seems as though it'd be a larger number than used in the game and RAWs. ) Know any modding people to ask and do you know if you just input molar mass as is or do things to it first?

Domovye? What? Why?Because.
Ents could be fun. No civ for them. Could be nice if we can enslave them somehow. Make capturing and exploiting then worthwhile.
What horrors we already have against us? Do we need to make the mountain of murder that's about to fall on our heads any bigger?
E: Actually might be good idea to pool all plans and information into successor thread.

I don't know where the successor thread is or if it even exists yet.
What I know is I'm having a serious crisis of purpose right now...
...You intend to add nuclear power to Dwarf Fortress.I feel better now. Also, yes. Yes, yes indeed. :) One thing, if you can find it out, is how to make a power-producing building in RAW modding.
...
HOW ABOUT ALL OF MY YES. If my nerdiness on the subject can provide any useful information let me know!
Yeah. That's just the poll. The actual thread will be started up by the winner of the election who will be crowned at 3:15pm on Friday.It can be easily repurposed for preparation/world building purposes.
Yeah. I suppose it can and it makes sense to. I'll do that then.Yeah. That's just the poll. The actual thread will be started up by the winner of the election who will be crowned at 3:15pm on Friday.It can be easily repurposed for preparation/world building purposes.
Also, "dwarfs", what? Apparently that's the correct plural but it feels so weird to type that because it changes the pronunciation.It's not the correct plural. Both are technically correct (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dwarf#Usage_notes) in everyday English, but within the context of DF, Toady's usage supercedes that of the dictionary or your spell-checker:

Hmmm, I don't know how to get a building producing power, but I do know Putnam has a material generator in the modding forum and is a far more powerful wizard than I could ever hope to become short of a heroic death and ghostly resurrection following a cryptic final statement.Eyeah. I have some apprehensions about approaching Putnam, but I don't guess he holds anything against me, so I might just go see about that. Also, modding discussions have been moved to the Successor thread. ( The one with the poll for first overseer. )

I don't think he bites unless you ask nicely and wear a pretty dress, but the mat properties generator has a thread and such which you should check out for sure just to make sure you get everything turned into df-speak properly.Yeah, care to link me?
Oh yeah, I forget not everyone hops through the utlities forums regularly collecting toys: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=140645.0Thanks mate.
We've got the voidspawn and we've got the demons, do we really need any other (hostile) races?
No !!Fun!! in not having as many modded doom races as possible, especially if they're all hostile to one another.Yes.
Well, I don't actually know very much about RAW modding, but I do know actual nuclear fission reactors are effectively horribly dangerous steam engines. So, rather than a building that makes power, you could have a building that becomes very, very hot and begins consuming fuel from storage when activated via a lever, thereby heating liquid in the area to become pressurized steam, which in turn can run though turbines, which actually make power. That being effectively how reactors work, though some more complex fuel mechanics would need to happen, as well as both radiation and meltdown stuff.Yes. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=149288.0
To hell with power, I just want uranium warhammers and dying furnace operators.Well the uranium itself isn't deadly, it's the chance for the Deadly radioactive plutonium that has a chance to be produced as a byproduct and will cause fever, blisters, and swelling. It should inherently cause fever or rot. The uranium will be pretty useful for blunt weapons though. ( It's denser than lead. ) As per the plutonium, instead of just using straight plutonium values I'm going to make it instantly sublimate and ignite at room temperature. The syndrome will be triggered by inhalation, like actual plutonium. Though, should I have it have a fixed temp that'll inflict burns and damage or no?
What should uranium smelting do to them? Bleeding? Rot? Swelling? Blisters? All four?
Well, if you don't know the list of symptoms, severe radiation poisoning causes rapid hair loss, skin blisters, sunburn up to eleven, neurological decay, bone brittleness, nausea, internal bleeding, eventual necrosis and probably some other stuff I didn't remember.Thanks mate! That's a very helpful list of symptoms.
Also, mining and refining uranium ores is a radiation hazard to workers, just less so, plutonium and a variety of other, vastly more hazardous, and in a few cases quite useful elements are only created in nuclear reactors. And unless raising temperature is hard, my idea should be fairly simple, since it's basically just standard water generators, but with steam instead.
I'm not sure about Nether-Cap, but sure. Also, allowing the dwarves to craft lead platemail would make obvious sense, as would filter masks of some kind. {One of the major issues, once the worst of the radiatioactive isotopes have decayed, or with radiation suits that are just lead plating is ingestion of fallout particles, which being rather dense and usually composed of elements we can't digest, get stuck in your system and slowly irradiate you further.}With it's properties, it should help shield heat-damage. I didn't even think about lead platemail though, that's pretty brilliant.
Should we get a different thread for this? Not that I mind, but it is a little off-topic, plus it has the potential to be awesome enough to stick around outside of Deathgate.
Ah, yes. Possibly you could use it for reactor-room walls, to help stop the layer of lead bricks from melting. {If a living thing has to worry about direct heat damage from a nuclear reactor, they probably won't care for very long.}Aye, but I'm also adding in clothes/wood armor that can be made from woven nether cap and the reactions to shave nether-cap into strands and to weave it.
A'right. Possibly useful to wear under that lead plate, for padding and to help keep them comfortable in the hot environment deep underground.Mhm, that was what I was thinking, though I'll have to reread the guide on clothing layers to ensure that it works right.
Also, these being dwarves, gold platemail? It'd work just as well, if not better than lead.Eh yeah, but doesn't lead make more effective armor as actual armor instead of just radiation-proofing? Also, there's one problem I thought of with lead armor- I don't know how to make a syndrome that is applied by wearing the syndrome vector. ( That's how syndromes work, btw. You get exposure to something through inhalation, ingestion, etc. and it does things to you. But you can have creature variations as a syndrome and be granted immunity from another class of syndromes via syndrome. I'm pretty sure there is a way to use skin-contact as the vector for the syndrome, because deadly rains can do that, but idk how.)
I do fear that we might be going too far from the core concept of Deathgate with all these mods, though. Personally, I would prefer just having the demon army and perhaps the voidspawn.Yeah, at some point it isn't a sequel, it's just another fort with the same community. Like Demongate and Crownhammers.
im not to worried about that happening. because if you ask me, a major part of the deathgate saga is the void and body snatching.....though maybe a full on nuclear reactor is a bit much having radiation syndromes and poisoning water with it sounds fine (but I so want that reactor)Well, the way I spin the Slaughterheim world, it's basically a world that came precorrupted by the void, so we're not terribly new, just incredibly insane and dangerous. And I'm not really intending to do it super far from the core concept of Deathgate, we're still body-snatchers from the void and we're still dangerous and insane, and the voidspawn will have invaded this world just like the world of MurderMachines and Deathgate. It's just also going to have a bit more involved smelting, with some bonus crafts that weren't there before and a few small-time races. ( Note: Small-time doesn't mean deadly, though we may, in fact, never see the reapers at all. They're not meant to be around as much as the voidspawn, they're just a different type of threat that provides a valuable dwarfy metal if you can kill them. As per Nightbringers, they're supposed to be more obnoxious than deadly and domovoi are kinda... just there for the hell of it. These three species are all I'm going to add and you all have the power to veto or request amendment for any feature of them. )
and the insanity....
To address these legitimate concerns: In addition to what I said above about the player power to veto features and the fact that we could be testing and planning for another few weeks, I don't think anything will make it in that's going to ruin the game. These features are to add a bit more flavour and uniquity to the fort, as well as to provide an alternative to my water-wheel frustrations in MurderMachines. Besides, if we're taking it darker and edgier, which seems to be the ultimate goal of all Dwarf Fortress at some point, then why wouldn't we add new threats? I mean, Voidspawn weren't around in the first Deathgate and they didn't ruin things, I fail to see why ents, domovye, reapers and nightbringers would. Especially considering that our interactions with all but the domovye will probably be very rare. ( Nightbringers are a semi-megabeast that's basically an enderman expy, except with females and more Lovecraftian, ie more tentacles. They don't really attack very violently, but they don't react to pain and the release a gas that causes fever, temporary paralysis and [with you guys' okay] blindness. [I will switch it to temporary blindness if you guys want me to.] ) As per anything everybody else is adding, as long as we keep it pretty small, should be fine. ( Personally, I'm far more interested to see the engravings of the Anima before he even emerges. I have him modded in as a mythical figure. I think that's only fair. )I do fear that we might be going too far from the core concept of Deathgate with all these mods, though. Personally, I would prefer just having the demon army and perhaps the voidspawn.Yeah, at some point it isn't a sequel, it's just another fort with the same community. Like Demongate and Crownhammers.
Yep, it's been discussed previously, there is something about the Murdermachines and Deathgate save files, makes em' very... Unusual.
Nope, that's just the Deathgate Madness warping reality itself. We call the madness Terry and scold him whenever reality breaks.
Bad Terry, bad!
YeahSorry, I was just trying to be funny...
TERRYI hear we have a taker! Here ya go mate.
I KILLED YOU ONCE
I CAN KILL YOU AGAIN
GET BACK IN YOUR HOLE
Wow. The people in this thread have totally changed from the OG Deathgate fort. Is Anima even still around on the forums?It doesn't seem so. It's possible he checks every once and a while.
He came back briefly right after I killed Terry.Kill him again. Preferably soon. I want to see this in-game year over with. Do you have any specific plans for this fort?
Must you mortals interfere with EVERYTHING!!?You son of a bitch! You owe me a new flash drive! D:<

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. Ghosts roam the halls. Ducks fight in tiny pens. A hundred dwarves rush to do a thousand jobs. We have over eleven thousand metal bars. This is the kind of utter clusterfuck that can only be created by 20+ people working on the same thing independently. And I am one of them.
Home sweet home.

8. Voidspawn ambush, including a fucking patriarch. Only casualty was Kazim who I redwarfed. They also chased away the dwarven caravan.Occh. Sorry about that. That happened to me to during one of my playthroughs, though the damage was less. Also, what do we need so much steel for/why so much re-militarization? During the whole time I'd been playing we'd had no major attacks. ( I guess it'll be nice to be able to murdernate things at the touch of a button, but the costs in productivity... )
We have 1700 iron bars. They should be steel bars.Why?
As for militarization, did you not notice the fact where we are now down to three dwarves capable of fighting voidspawn?
1. WE ONLY HAVE ONE STILL AND IT'S IN THE FUCKING CAVERNS, WHAT IS THIS BLASPHEMY1. Our steel bar is in the caverns? Weird.
2. I also moved the depot at some point. It's near where those drawbridges close in part of the map edge. That way, traders will come in though there where it's relatively safe.
3. McClellan, your big rig for millstones doesn't work, so I just built a millstone with a windmill on top inside the walls. Simplicity!
4. I've put a magma kiln in a spot that looks like it was made for it. Fungin got a little burned but he's fine.
5. When winter hit I dug out a lot of the stuff frozen in the ponds. I buried a lot of corpses.Spoiler: THE GREATEST POT EVER CREATED (click to show/hide)
Not bad....give us a list of ALL THE ARTIFACTSIt's a short list, there's only 20-30 or so.
That zircon-thing looks Planepacked. I don't want to know what would happen if someone actually used them to encrust something.Yeah... This sounds like a wonderful idea. :D I'll do that during my next turn. Speaking of, what's the turn list looking like right now? Raise your hand if you have ups after Flame.
That zircon-thing looks Planepacked. I don't want to know what would happen if someone actually used them to encrust something.That's a large gem. You can't encrust with them.
Too bad. And it's too excellent to use for much else... Hm.That zircon-thing looks Planepacked. I don't want to know what would happen if someone actually used them to encrust something.That's a large gem. You can't encrust with them.
Oh well, if any sort of demon made of poverty comes along, this will be our defense. What are those things even worth?No idea. Last I checked we had well over 10m wealth. ( If I'm remembering correctly. )
Maybe one of the mods to the next deathgate should include a use for large gems, maybe a large gem display that places the gem like a a StatueSeems like it'd be too easy to mess up the gems themselves that way... but I'll see what I can figure out. Max might be a better person to do it, so if you're listening Max, try and figure that out too.
I thought about this last night.
I've got plans.
OH BOY do I have plans.
I've got plans for a canon, HAPPY ending for Murdermachines, a reason for me to be the new voidgod, a reason for there to be both demons and voidspawn in the new world. It'll have blood and fire and demons and voidspawn and Terry and Anima and ARMOK HIMSELF AND THE FINAL BATTLE BETWEEN CHAOS AND ORDER.
IT WILL BE EPIC.
JUST
YOU
WAIT.

Chaos is always applied in a reasonable manner.
Chaos itself can be defined as an indeterminable outcome that one has some modicum of control over.
...I like how this is just a side note.
Also we got another voidspawn ambush and Orix got turned into a thrall and died.
I feel your pain bro. Last month I was so sick I missed two weeks of school and lost 10 pounds (out of 115 at the time) in two days.Damn. Poor guy. I'm lucky that all that's wrong with me is that I have a mild fever and a lots of aches. ( My body purged itself already... I hope. We'll see if the chicken noodle holds. )
Goblin siege happened, several civilians wounded, they were shot by goblin bowmen. I took a few extra days to clean up the mess, just like last time except that was voidspawn.
Save (http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=10705)
Keep in mind that anything you do will probably not be canon, because I'm going to be playing it on my own a little bit and that's what I'm going to be using in the story.
Yikes, you guys are not being luck in matters of health!I don't want to speak too soon, but I'm at least okay enough to try attending class today. I've got my phone handy in case that doesn't pan out and a strategic plan not to eat anything I normally would. ( I'm sticking just to pretzels, Cheezits and Gatorade/Powerade. ) The thing I really wish for is a place to nap. I'm going to crack open the save after class today to at least get a look around, but for now I could really use a place to nap...
Pretzels, Cheezits (seriously, who came up with that name? It sounds like cheese zits.) and Gatorade does not sound all too conducive to your health, and more like the sort of plan you'd come up with while severely sleep-deprived. Hope you get better soon.They're also foods that are very difficult to trigger vomiting with and that generally absorb excess bile and stomach acid, therefore allowing me to have matter on which to begin my recovery process and fluids with which not to succumb to dehydration. Keep in mind that it's what I've been eating since I've had strength to eat and I haven't vomited since. ( Even if I had, it's way better to vomit up Gatorade than most other drink-stuffs and the local water is 100% guaranteed to worsen my health. ) Also, it's not my plan, it's what's worked in the case of not being able to keep food down in the past.
At least that's somewhat more logical than what I was thinking. But eegh, I feel really bad for you if Gatorade is a better choice than water. Where do you live?Way too close to the Gulf of Mexico. ;) Also though, our plumbing is bad. We rent. ( Not to mention that straight water isn't the best thing to throw on a sour stomach for the same reason you don't wanna drink it after eating something really spicy: It just makes it spread. )
Both. Heh. Just to put it in perspective, I know more about mechanical engineering and nuclear science than I do basic mathematics.I think I do too.
Same thing here. I can visualize the warping of spacetime with ease but I can't figure out even a basic proof in geometry.Proofs are annoying.
Physical form of a god + Tacnuke = ?Radioactive god. I prefer F2O2 for exactly that reason.
So I've got spring break this week, so now I have tons of free time that I am going to waste working on Murdermachines' ending.Yay!
So we can start Slaughterhelm with a bang and also because I thought up a happy ending for Murdermachines. Don't worry, we can keep playing, it just won't be canon.:|
Okay, the story part is going well, but the modding part crashes the game on unpause with no errorlog. Let's see if exterminating the cats fixes it...Are you still working on MurderMachines or have you moved on to SlaughterHelm?
EDIT: Oh hey, wow, it actually did.
I'm still working on Murdermachines' ending. I can't get the modding part working right, but after I do I'll start posting the end.Ok. Just don't render it unplayable, we're definitely having an after the end chapter. If nothing else, I wanna get the battery and the wind farm working and get a uniformed police force. After that, I guess... It'll be based on the interests of others. I don't have as much time as I used to and if I'm'a play Dwarf Fortress, I'd like to play the newest version.
EDIT: I'm also producing a lot of weapons and armor and I'm flooding the cavern lake with magma so I can dig out more adamantine.
I can stop the flooding at any time. All I did was start up the BATTEREY and hook it up to some pumps.You got it working? Kudos! :D Also, I trust you and it'll be nice to have all the obsidian to work with too.
All I had to do was use dfhack's liquids to get rid of all the trees in the BATTEREY and make some useless dwarves pump operators to give it a kick start. I've gotten 13 extra wafers so far and more will come soon, as the obsidian is reaching another spire.:o I didn't even think to use dfhack to unclog the BATTERY.
If I can't solve the modding problem in a few days I'll just write story and not have screenshots to go with it.
I love how a metaphysically subsisting entity that we spawned and that has destroyed quite a bit of our hardware is only considered "pretty bad".Trust me, I've seen worse.
On second thought, the end will come when I don't have huge English projects. Now I know how Asmoth feels writing Demongate's ending.Same with my mods, only Math and EECE (Electrical & Computer Engineering) instead of English.
[Robot Devil voice] ♫ Trapped forever here in update HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ♫
I'm to the part where stuff happens. I have no idea how much I have left to write. Half, maybe? It'll be worth the wait, trust me.Write more, write descriptively, revise as much as possible: The more you stall, the longer I have to prepare. Also: Finals soon. Study for finals. We can start in July. :P
Forgot my password for a good monthI'm studying for finals and playing on Steam and doing some prepping on the next game. I might just have to drop the Nightbringers and try focusing on different aspects of my mod.
Whats going on in this thread now?
Poor Armok. Sure, we may have almost four or five hundred dead dwarves in our catacombs, but can they take on both the Voidspawn and the demons?
...
Or at least, that's what I thought until I remembered that we probably have both of the prime incarnations of the Void God down there.
I could have done this in the actual save and given screenshots, but shit didn't work out. I have figured out a way to do it, though... In DF2014. So if we do this again, I can actually give screenshots and a more realistic story.
1. Destroy all coffins
2. Wait for ghosts
3. Turn ghosts into people using gm-editor
4. Profit
I should probably get on that.Oh good, I'm not the only one who totally dropped the ball and spent like three weeks (?) doing other stuff. Any word on the next release?

x_xNope. My laptop's harddrive is completely* gone. Wheeeee. All my mods are gone so at least those won't be holding us up anymore. Also, if anybody knew/cared, my vacation mostly went well. ( For everyone's info tho, I did successfully recover a lot of my things to an external hard-drive, but then that broke too. I may try again, but I'll be saving the mods for something of my own if they're even among what could be salvaged from my laptop. )
Guys, my laptop completely borked.* :| I'm recovering the files to an external hard-drive atm, but yea... When that happens, I'll submit the mod code for the reapers. I'm not gonna bother with the other things. I'll use them some other time. Question though, are we still waiting for DF2015?
*Translation: The main partition of my harddrive's filesystem is inconsistent - ie it failed some checksums and the boot sector (of that partition) is probably totally fried. My laptop can still be used for some things and likely as not I can nuke the partition and reinstall everything, which is what I'm'a do after I'm satisfied that I have recovered the core things that I need to get back. I'll have to figure out how to get around the bad sectors. Just to answer everyone's question: I am broke and about to be in escrow for who knows what else... ( school, girlfriend, food, random unwarranted taxation, etc. ) I have to keep slapping on the band-aids until the laptop just gets fed up with me and flies away.
You tried your bestI know... Thanks for understanding. :)
