I voted for one if only because aquifers present a different sort of challenge (And necromancers can nearly make a place unplayable if it gets bad enough without even seiging.)
I want a turn.
And to mod.
Kinda posting to watch right now. I don't have a computer and I suck anyway...It's Dwarf Fortress, everyone kinda sucks at it.
Just with everything, everyone sucks at it. Yes you may be good at some parts, but you still suck at it :PKinda posting to watch right now. I don't have a computer and I suck anyway...It's Dwarf Fortress, everyone kinda sucks at it.
Wel, I'm voting for embark two, and could I be Dorf'd as a cheese maker?At least you ended up out lasting people in my version of its fall :P however, NAV ended that quickly by sacrificing you to shelob XD
I don't want to die 5 times like last time.
Also, I might like a turn.
sory ive basicly dissapeard from reality... agin... for the 17th time... this passed month... i have no idea whats going on. can someone pm me a jist of whats happened of whats happened i dont have time to read the whol thing.What's up, doc?
And there was much rejoicing. And I am going to have a spastic fit if my turn comes to pass because of my deranged need for exact symmetry.Yay....
Actually BFEL, your current character is a carpenter which is to say a woodcutter already. He is also the expedition leader or "site founder" in the mod.How do you even get wax? I have never actually seen it in caravans or anywhere else
As for the wax industry, I think that might take some time.

Not to be impatient apiks, but hows the update comming along? Did we get something unexpected in the last months?
Well this is gonna get interesting. First day of second semester of college and I got a fortress to run... What do I say? THE CHAOS CAN BEGIN! LET IT IN! (Yes I just did a Blind Guardian reference) I'll start it tomorrow cause its 10pm and I gotta wake up for 6:30... Yay...
Silence before the storm as they say. And expect lots of swords. And constant complaining about elves :PWell this is gonna get interesting.

(Yes I just did a Blind Guardian reference) I'll start it tomorrow cause its 10pm and I gotta wake up for 6:30... Yay...
Well you wanted it and now I delievered it. Also go Blind Guardian! They be a good band.
We'll wait. Take your time. Or atleast I'll wait. Dunno about the others. This is gonna be interesting after the second year. It's funny how in Necrothreat I and Necrothreat II both first years were quiet. I truly am the boring.
Let's see what you'll manage to make out of everything.

Nice. Need to capture that Were and make a Were fortress. THEN THE HAXXOR NECRO WILL BE SORRY. SO VERY SORRY. LIKE HES DAVID TENNANT OR SOMETHING. THAT IS HOW SORRY HE WILL BE. DAVID TENNANT SORRY.
It was a were coyote so Im all for it XD much better then were beaver/rat
is it possible to DF hack one into the fort? Because that is kinda too awesome to pass up :P
Expect more chaos. We just had a Fire Breathing L33t Gamer show up
You must be joking. Two years into the fortress and we're already at the brink of doom at the hand of a... a Haxxor Necrothreader? What is this foul creature... who even thought of it? This will surely spell our doom. It's basically a necrothreader that can teleport anywhere instantly... I call hax.
I guess Splint won't be playing his turn since he is... eh... dead and the necrothreader showed up. I do hope the fortress isn't in FULL unplayable situation or we'll have to use that early save. Good thing you got it.
Also if there are no objections, if we DO revert to the previous save, I'd like to finish Highmax28's turn in a hurry if he does not wish to do so.
--am I next in line, to clean up the mess now?
As long as we don't have haxxors with thread necromancy, we're good!--am I next in line, to clean up the mess now?
Yes. You can try to atleast. If you find yourself unable to do it, give the save to me and I'll do my best to fix the situation or otherwise we'd have to revert to a very far back save. So give it a go.
Edit: BFEL, I think you shall be pleased to know that I have added AK 47s to the mod. This could potentially go up to bears with guns. So rejoice!
"I AM URIST MCHIGHLORDOFTERRORANDPANTSCRAPPING!!! YOU COULD NEVER HOPE TO HARM ME!"
*gets poked in ribs*
"OHMYGOD THERE GO MY ORGANS"
Oh also that thing with killing the same dead lolcat 20 times was hilarious :P
EDIT2: Oh yeah question bout the mod, did anyone do anything with Memory, the sentient spam bot? Love to see him as a Megabeast with a Warmech(from final fantasy) sprite.
Attempt #1 : Fighting the infection.
Status, Failed.
Going to try barring off the stockpile, walling off several areas and trying to start up a micro fortress. If I succeed, I'll start posting In-Character.
Attempt #1 : Fighting the infection.Well that was... Expected...

Two more attempts unsuccessful.That's what happened when the haxxor broke in in the first place... Except it started with a kestrel so it flew around and killed everything
Most of you sad fools are too unhappy to dig anything after I corner you off. :[
In case some of you don't understand in what condition the fortress was handed to me in:
If let to run with no action, it will usually fall within five minutes.
Apiks' JournalsOuch! Well... Lets NOT get the door kicked in again, shall we? I think if we use the birdge more often then I intended, we would still be alive. I think everyone who died should be refourmited cause of my stupidity for thinking haxxors weren't as hax as I thought they were
*Extremely bad handwriting and splatters of blood on the page*
15th of Slate
I did it... heh... I actually fucking did it. I managed to save Necrothreat II..... Damn it! Bloody DAMN IT! *sobs* *tear falls on the page on top of the blood* We lost everyone.... only 7 of us remain.. Me (Apiks), Misko, Pokon and 4 others... Only us remain. I used my escape plan of digging into my room and going to the neighbouring mountain and staying there until the fuss went down. It did it indeed go down. The Haxxor Threadomancer has left us with the obvious thought that we were eradicated. With him gone, most of his creations started fighting between each other and some of them fell into the cage traps. At the moment only 1 of the foul creatures remain. The... the living corpse of InsanityIncarnate. Oh the horror. THE HORROR. InsanityIncarnate killed his own baby which was in front of the fortress during the mad dash outside. The fortress is in shackles. Bodies are lying everywhere. Dozens of living undead are caged. DOZENS. I used to know every one of them... BFEL, Highmax. Oh Highmax. Why did you have to die. Sprin. Mastahcheese. Even NAV. LtAlfred's ghost is haunting us now.. reminding us of what happened. To top it off, a forgotten beast has awoken. I can hear him breathe when I am in the fortress.. It breathes. Heavily. I have no idea how we can manage. James was right. Armok was right. Something big is coming, and this was just the tip of it. Oh the horror. I think I am going mad. Atleast Misko is here. My only old friend left. Oh the horror. We were 18 when I initialized my escape plan. All was fine until I opened the passage.... The fools started running to the fortress to get a drink of booze. Those drunken bastards. Nothing is left of them now except their bodies. The Haxxor Necrothreader hadn't left. I immediately barred our temporary sanctuary. After it had left, we left and saw the carnage. Oh the carnage. THE HORROR. Damn it. Why did everyone had to die? WHY WORLD? WHY? IS THIS YOUR VERSION OF A GOOD JOKE? WELL I AIN'T LAUGHING. YA HEAR ME? *sobs* damn it... *starts crying* damn it all to hell.
16th of Slate
I organized the survivors to put down InsanityIncarnate. Pokon's pet took the brunt of the force and managed to do most of the damage but these undead have an uncanny power. It ripped the animal in two and spilled its guts. A gruesome sight, then everyone came and we managed to put him down with our combined forces. InsanityIncarnate is no more. We have to rebuild. As much as I would wish to mourn everyone, we must ensure the survival of the fort if more of these attacks are to come... DAMN IT! Everybody has wounds. Sprin is dead. All of our doctors are dead. No idea on how our booze and food supplies are going, I don't even know if we can clean the situation. Also I bet that nobody will even come near our entrance with those undead being by the dozens at the entrance in cages.
23rd of Slate
I cannot handle it. The pressure. It is just too great. The bodies. The horrors. Oh do they linger in my mind. I cannot make rational choices, hell I can't even go to the toilet without looking at a corpse. I'm handing down command to a fellow named "Mitre" from what he told me. He seemed to be in the best psyhicall condition, although I think he is faking it. Oh my friends, why did you have to die? DAMN IT! Haxxor Thread Necromancers, I shall have my revenge on you and your kind. I will not stop until I see every one of you eradicated and the world free from your tiranny. And if anyone dares so much glorify your names, I shall string them up. DAMN IT!
Well it seems that with some careful burrows I managed to salvage the situation. Here's the Save, Mitre. You can play a full year starting the date I gave it to you. It'll be a hard time rebuilding in my opinion. If it doesn't work out, let me know and I'll use some story magic :) . If you actually managed to save the fort and want to play with your version of saving it, let me know and I'll change some things to this.
Apiks, The Rising Madwoman's Save (http://www.2shared.com/file/2pZFNPCz/Necrothreat_II_Apiks_The_Risin.html)
I doubt the bridge would help much since the Haxxor can teleport if he has line of sight (I think). Also, reforumations will happen if people so desire and they will have to specify. Haxxors turned out the be very OP. I made them unable to learn the unholy powers in the mod so in the next version we won't have a Haxxor Necrothreader rape fest. Really. The horror of the actual fortress during and after the haxxor was just horrendous. Good thing you built so much traps, Highmax. They got most of the undead.and we shouldn't have much of a problem from zombie appocolypses from the outside with the catapults and ballistas, And the shit ton of lulz I made for the laptops

I remember prior to the crash that two zombies ripped each other to pieces and the haxxors was reviving those pieces

Don't look at me, haxxors didn't come out till Talvi got involved :PHiding from the monster he has created
Sorry for throwing you under the minecart Talvi.
Where IS Talvi anyway? Thought he would be involved in this.
WHERES OUR TRANSVESTITE FROM TRANSEXUAL TRANSYLVANIA?
WHERES OUR TRANSVESTITE FROM TRANSEXUAL TRANSYLVANIA?
Of course I want to be refourmited as swords enthusiast again ( let's hope I don't let splint starve to death again)
I want 'Mastahcheese the Second' and I still want my wife to be 'Esther1'Since I pretty much told the elves to go screw their trees, I don't think well be getting reindeer... Unless the fourmites bring them
Can I have a reindeer herd?
Somebody please PM me when he uploads the save. I recently missed my turn on another succession fort due to my total incompetence.You cant be any more incompitent then me, I left the fortress be while a haxxor hung around outside :P

You guys didnt get every bone in your body broken by a fourmite that died cause you killed him by locking him in his own room... And BFEL, how do you survive without magma?

ok who is working on the mod at this point?Arent sentient spam bots an entire race? Along with slendermen as boogeymen? And a crap ton of bullcrap that made me want to roll over and die laughing? :P
got some ideas for use, including an awesome way to make Memory(sentient spam-bot) a kick ass boss
monster.
whoever is doing the current work pm me for details, writing up a rough draft of the code now
BFEL, I am working under the mod at the moment since Misko has too much work and is unable to work on it at this given moment. Due to seeing that you have plenty of initiative and desire to expand the mod, I will send you the latest version of the mod via PM. Add whatever you so desire, try to keep it to the current LOL format and please for the love of god, do not make it too overpowered. ALso we might need some leverage that will give us an advantage against these beasts that roam our world imo.So make sure Haxxors are illiterate

So is anyone actually playing the fort now?
Haven't had an actual update in FOREVER.
I'm hoping that we get his save. We do not want to go back where the haxxor can possibly be
Now do you see why I was paranoid as hell? And I'm pretty sure I sealed off the caverns, so he could be hiding ANYWHERE :oI'm hoping that we get his save. We do not want to go back where the haxxor can possibly be
I doubt the Haxxor will be there since I personally scoured the area from him and he is nowhere to be found... unless he is hiding in the caverns waiting for the moment to strike.
Now do you see why I was paranoid as hell? And I'm pretty sure I sealed off the caverns, so he could be hiding ANYWHERE :o
As far as I know, he's standing on top of my corpse/grave and dancing at an insanely game breaking rateNow do you see why I was paranoid as hell? And I'm pretty sure I sealed off the caverns, so he could be hiding ANYWHERE :o
Oh Armok....WHAT IF HES IN THE BOOZE??
Stukos swung his axe down with terrifying force, and his clothes were splattered with blood and and brains from the thread zombie. Was that the seventh one, or the eighth? Stukos didn't remember... all he knew was that Armok was with him. He had been chosen to defend Necrothreat against the evil that had invaded.Wait... Was it the troll that arsoned the place!? @.@ Who created this monstrosity of a mod!? EVERYTHING THAT ISNT A FOURMITE BREATHES FIRE!!!!! (If a dragon shows up, does that mean Kthulu shows up!? You horrible people!) :P
Stukos parried a slash from a sword, but missed his next attack. The zombie responded by slamming its shield into Stukos' leg. He cried out in pain, and fell to the ground, nursing his fractured bone. The zombie raised its sword, and brought the blade down in a deadly arc.
Spam flew from across the river, striking the zombie in the back. He collapsed, smothering Stukos as he tried to rise. A hammer came next, shattering the skull of the zombie. Stukos barely saw its bearer, but the forumite still helped him to his feet. Staggering on a broken leg, Stukos brought his axe down once again, slaying another thread zombie.
From beyond fortress gates, a plume of smoke had blotted out the sun and sky. More thread zombies were lurching up the river, armed to the teeth and hungry for blood. A cry of "TROLL!" rang through the air, and the Avatar of Armok turned to face this new foe. Thread zombies were weak. One had maimed him, but it was a pitiful strike at best. Stukos left the zombies for his companions, and strode into the choking smoke, to find the troll.
It was a massive, hairy beast. It held a herbalist in its massive hand, and dashed his skull against the ground. It turned to face this next forumite, a small, weak one, carrying an axe. But he had no iron suit. The troll grinned.
Stukos hefted his axe above his shoulder. This troll would die. Armok had commanded it. A hairy fist slammed into the ground in front of him, and he lost his footing. Another punch shattered his ribs, another his shoulder. But Stukos would not give in. He stood, and faced his foe.
A slash from his axe traced a line of red across the troll's leg. The second slash missed, and the troll pushed the third aside. The troll flexed his arms. He wanted this forumite dead.
The blaze was coming closer to the gates of the fortress. Stukos was coughing up blood, and the troll was pounding the earth in rage. A cloud of smoke drifted across them. Fire seared the ground, burning up what remained of the grass and shrubs. Flames caught on the Avatar's shirt, his hair, his socks... and he roared in defiance. Stukos charged at the troll, his last foe, and swung his axe with mighty force. The troll caught his arm, and almost lazily, tossed the Avatar of Armok into the flames that scoured the hillside.
He staggered, buffeted by the heat. His fur was beginning to smoulder. The troll backed away from the fire, towards the gate of the fortress. He then tripped, on a loose block of stone, from the old bridge, and crashed backwards into the gates of Necrothreat, into the mouth of hell. His eyes flickered for a brief second, he heard a faint click. The last he saw was a cage, dropping from the ceiling...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, I didn't really do anything for this update apart from write a heavily embellished version of events. But Stukos was actually quite badass. He charged off to fight the troll with a broken leg, and was declared "missing" once he vanished in the smoke. I assume the troll punched him in the head, bruising the muscle, shattering the skull and jamming the skull through the brain, tearing the brain. A tendon in the skull would also have been torn, but I'm not too sure.
Anyway, there'll be several 'proper' updates over the next few days. For some reason I started playing Civ IV again, so that will limit the time I end up spending on Necrothreat.
[EDIT] Sorry, I didn't (and probably won't) do any forumite-ing, seeing as Chaos has crowned himself as King in the Fortress.

ALso, good storytelling Insanity. Btw, did the son of insanity live?
I don't know who made everything breathe fire, all I know right now is I can't download the latest version cuz it was sent to me with some weird thing.
DAMMIT I DOWNLOAD THINGS FROM DFFD LIKE A NORMAL SHORT ALCHOHOLIC CAVERN DWELLER!
Eh I just don't want to download all the stuff needed to use 2shared only to use it exactly once and then have it sitting in my computer taking up space and memory that could be used on bearded mayhem. Its that kind of thing that killed my old puter I believe.

What are you talking about? For 2shared you just press the download button and that's all. No excess stuff and direct download to your PC via your browser.

For me I pressed download and it wanted me to download something so that I could download the file. Basically it asked me to download a downloader. So fuck 2shared.
Yes I'm in a bad mood, Star Trek Online server is disconnecting constantly on me again...grrrrr
EDIT: Scratch that, my ENTIRE INTERNET CONNECTION is being a pissy little bitch....
On a semi-unrelated note, I'm complaining about my all-consuming laziness that is preventing me from doing anything that requires a infinitesimal amount of effort. Even checking Bay12 was a chore.
If I get round to it, my update will be up soon.
Haven't got round to writing anything yet, and I'm scared to unpause because OH ARMOK WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS FORT!?!?Well procrastinaate less! I want to know how badly I messed up the fort for everyone when I sent everyone to their deaths when the haxxor broke in
Also, I'm very good at procrastinating. I'll play more and update more over the next couple of days.
Haven't got round to writing anything yet, and I'm scared to unpause because OH ARMOK WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS FORT!?!?

Oh just the usual. Bodies everywhere rising and trying to tear out our eyeballs. Invisible superbeings hiding in every hallway. The occasional unmodded critter feasting on forumite entrails. All to the tune of a lone cat mourning the lack of cheeseburgers.
That's a nice gauntlet. Who is gonna wear it?I say I should because the bear bones are probably made from the bears I got. Also I turned this place into hell pretty much :P

Operation: Drain the Dining Hall has begun! The water is currently draining into the wood stockpile and the bedrooms.Wait, WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!
I found a lever that floods the dining room, via the well room. I didn't turn it off soon enough, so most of the dining hall was in 4/7 water for most of my turn thus far.Operation: Drain the Dining Hall has begun!

It's not like we need the wood stockpile, anyway.

Apparently, "this afternoon" means tomorrow. My brian died.
I've opened up the passage to the surface, and everyone ran out to collect the fish that were caught while the door was locked.
There a trees growing in the wood stockpile. I've designated a new one to be dug out, so the old one will become home to some farm plots once water dries up.
Pokon, our archiver, is trapped in a cage. I might build a new office for him, but he's staying in the cage.
Also, migrants. Greeeaaat. Everything was going fine until four months before they turned up.
Is it too late to request a turn in this?
Hey, if we survived the haxxor incident, we can take on anything! 8)Is it too late to request a turn in this?
That is directly proportional to how fast we can get updates out and whether we will survive (chances account to 0 if you ask me by your turn)
And Armok damn it, we have a vampire.
I am still so confused.
I am still so confused.
I am still so confused.I swear, this guy... Is awesome... Only someone awesome would let us do Necrothreat I to begin with :P
And it continues with human traders. My new depot is incomplete due to a disturbing lack of microcline blocks.I am still so confused.
We necroed your thread which was the oldest dead thread in this section of the forums and made a succession game out of it and modded the game to suit our needs. After the fort perished, we decided to start a new fort that would be the continuation of Necrothreat I and so Necrothreat II was born. End of story.
TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLYeah, I know about that. But I don't always remember to do that. This was one of the times that I forgot.
Also, Insanity you DO know you can auto-forbid items on death right? :P
Just press "O"
You should be able to find it from there
Why do I get that feeling that my forumite is dead?Because everyone except Misko27 and Meepo (my new dwarf) is either dead or an NPC.
So this means that everyone from Necrothreat I is now dead. Shame. Oh well, atleast we have people to succeed us.Its funny how death always seems to follow us evreywhere :P

Oh yeah guys after I looked up some stuff on the wiki I'm pretty sure our thread zombies are officially tougher then HUSKS AND THRALLS. And they have weapons and armor.Remember my Avatar of Armok? Who was an untrained, unarmoured forumite with a battleaxe? Who hacked about ten thread zombies into bloody giblets? ALL AT ONCE!?
So yeah no wonder our forts keep getting raped....also this makes everything Highmax has ever done 99% more awesome.

Look, All i'm saying is it should not take 5 military dwarves 66 pages to kill something. and on that note:UPDATE IN 5 NINUTES,
COMPLETLY UNRELATED SIDENOTE:
Did upou know armed skeletal zombies are gods? Its true!
So you're telling me that Armok is an Armed Skeletal Zombie?
6th of Obsidian:Uh oh, The strange mooder decided he doidn't have enough of something, and is currently obtaining tooth. From forum faces.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He starts off by attempting to borrow a few from the surgeon, though the surgeon dodged him until someone arrived. The first on the seen was a military recruit. He beat the little beast and was doing pretty well until the marksforumite shot him in the leg. Armor, we need armor.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Geez, U mad bro? A hammerforumite sees this exchange, rushes at the guy, and beats him with the hammer till he dies.
Now with that unpleasant out of the way, I must admit diary, I feel sicker and sicker. If I continue like this, I may die. If I do, be aware my sister will take over for the duration of my term. A fine lass she is, just arrived in the recent migrant wave. she'll keep it alive till its time.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
FUCK YOU GHOSTS. BACK TO YOUR MAKER.
I have grown weary of the ambush. they do not leave, and The dwarven caravan must leave soon. I resolve to open the fort up, knowing I may doom it. Theres only 3 of them left though, and theres like 30 of us.
The first person out of the gate is a marksdwarf not where he should be. He rushes a swordsmen into the last cage trap and follows a axeman, getting beaten in the process.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
This doesn't make sense. Why is anything bouncing off leather. We need more leather armor, it seems.
the marksdwarf is run off after suffering several injuries. He is chased everywhere by the axezombie. A marksdwarf follows them and substitues himself for a while in fighting him unitl a milita captian shoes up. Frankly, I'm worried by the fact it dodged so many attacks. This was counter-balanced by the weight of their armor, which slowed them enough that the forumites got the largest majority of the attacks.
Right as the miltia commander earns his hammering "wings" so to speak, he is injured. which slows him down enough so that the axe man can strike back, which he does quickly and elegantly. At this point though, highmax arrives, and swiftly dismembers the beast.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Another one joins in the brawl, and the injured frind wakes up.
The fight goes on forever. the dwarves are incapable of killing them, but injure them more and mroe heavily, while they does so in kind. After the highmax had cut off 2 legs, 1 hand, and a arm, and the creature was still up and injuring, the drew on. Eventually the creature smashes its shield (its sword had been lost) against highmax's head, knocking him out. The fight rages on for days, months, until, finally, a hammerdwarf succeds in crushing the remaining ones skull. The results of this incodent show me several things:
1. Fights with these creatures can and do go up as long as 66 pages.
2. 66 page long reports aer very heavy, and will crush your desk.
3. These creatures cna be killed by any method other then bleeding.
4. It is very very hard to kill them, and they are highly trained.
5. If this been a actual engagement we'd all be dead.
I kicked ass nonetheless 8)
Leaving aside all of the awesome things we did in Necrothreat I, how is the state of Necrothreat II, InsanityIncarnate? Ya still working on it? Are we even still alive? If you don't really feel like playing it anymore or finishing it, you can give the savegame to the next person in line if you so wish.
Also, BFEL, how's the modding going? Have you done any snazzy things?
The fortress is alive and well. Relatively.I'm fine with waiting, my turn is done and I started the !!!FUN!!! :P
Me? Not so much. I was away for the past three or four days (I don't actually remember) and I'm very, very tired. There are lots of things I need to catch up on, so Necrothreat may have to wait a bit. I would like to be able to finish my turn, but if people don't want to wait for my intermittent and brief updates, I'll toss the file onto DFFD and the next person can take over.
I will allow it only so long as your updates involve turning dwarves into night creatures.Yes, yes you do.
I...have a bit of a fetish don't I?
I will allow it only so long as your updates involve turning dwarves into night creatures.You must... Too much twilight? :P

Nah, I just like the potential for superdwarves that they give :PTheyre quite killable... But they make one helluva story :P I swear though, as soon as I saw the werebeast (was it a coyote? i forget already) and wanted to make all our military fourmites blessed by it (cause only military fourmites can handle the badassness of a badass werebeast! It still wouldve been awesome if it was werebears, that wouldve screwed everyone up!)
what if it was werebears...WITH GUNS?In my opinion, guns make the game less fun cause a gun can kill anything easily. What would be more badass is a werebear with armor grafts and a fourmite rider... Armed with spikes and the fourmite with an axe in each hand 8)

Easy you say? So you're telling us that adding guns will make us too OP against thread zombies which we can 'easily' beat with no problem? I dare you to say so. I double dare you. Including the threadnomancers, I don't even want to think of us becoming OP.

Anyway, Endok Dègled has claimed a craftsdwarf's workshop. I bet it's going to be an artifact crown.
Dwarves are tantruming, the new stockpiles are *slowly* being dug out, and I desperately want to know why the troll who attacked earlier is labelled as Caged (Friendly).

As for you apiks, if we have guns, its not fair because te zombies dont. So if we get guns, to make it fair, zombies get guns too... Making the game so stupidly funny, I doubt any of us can handle it... I know when I see a thread zombie with a machine gun, I'm throwing my arms up and screaming "I SURRENDER!!!!". Theres a reason why zombies are deemed unintellegent and incapable of using most weapons, but HAND THEM GUNS, and we have an army of decaying zombies where THEIR BODY PARTS CAN FIRE GUNS AT US. And also wheres the fun in beating the crap out of zombies? We'd pretty much insta kill them
***IN A NUTSHELL***
Guns make any medieval based game not fun in MANY ways
Personally, I don't really want guns, I don't think it fits the mod very well.
which is why only the bears have them, because while it WOULDN"T fit the mod, Bears with Guns is a meme, and thus, DOES fit the mod.
This is why I'm deleting Apiks AK47 from items, because while bears with guns fits, everyone with guns does not.
Please don't make me headdesk into my keyboard.
(Loud, annoying voice) I'M BA-ACK!Large forts? You should be fine. About 10 of the dwarves died when the goblins ambushed. Damn archers.
My turn seems to be coming up. I'm excited. I'll also get to see how this new computer handles large forts, since my old computer would soil its drawers after I got past year 3...
So yeah. I have nothing else to say. Buh bye.
Well, maybe if everything didnt die every ten seconds from a haxxor that realised: "hey, I can read! I can make necrothreat eat shit and puke! *does just that*" :-\(Loud, annoying voice) I'M BA-ACK!Large forts? You should be fine. About 10 of the dwarves died when the goblins ambushed. Damn archers.

Anyway, human traders are here, and are about to leave. I can't remember if I've already traded with them, so I just seized all their stuff.
I ran out of microcline blocks for the new ‼trade depot‼, so I'm finishing it with random blocks that the traders had.
The possessed doctor has begun a mysterious construction! With gems and lignite!
HE MADE A LIGNITE BRACELET!!
Churchwinnowed the Silkiness of Waxing... uhm...
Anyway, it's encrusted with gems and menaces with spikes of lignite.
Work has begun on the upper level of my ‼trade depot‼. Soon, I'll add the troll cage, and the retracting floor.
At this rate, though, it'll never be completed. Too many tantrums!
Yeah, that may or may not be happening right now.<snipped because no-one cares about what I have to say>Well, maybe if everything didnt die every ten seconds from a haxxor that realised: "hey, I can read! I can make necrothreat eat shit and puke! *does just that*" :-\

Luckily, the correct answer was "may not", or "is not". Nothing is happening. Dwarves are doing nothing. Nothing is moving, except for that mason whose knee has some nerve damage. He's only blinking, though.If random zombies appear in the interior, then you know hes still thereYeah, that may or may not be happening right now.<snipped because no-one cares about what I have to say>Well, maybe if everything didnt die every ten seconds from a haxxor that realised: "hey, I can read!

Yeah, it'll do that too. Anyway, homework from school is overwhelming (I'd love to just magma it all) so DF will have to wait.

Bah, I've running short on time these past few days, and I'd forgotten about poor old Necrothreat. I'll play through what's left of my turn soon, and give you guys a big, detailed update to make up for my incompetence... this should be up by the end of the week.Sounds standard for DF :P
Should.
Anyway, we don't have any skilled miners, so mining is going very slowly, and most labour has been redirected to my trolldepot. And that quote I've seen floating around fits here too, something along the lines of me not knowing where anything is, and not knowing what anything does.
It's IronTomato's turn now. Shall you take control of the fort, IronTomato?Captain IronTomato reporting for duty, sir yes sir! I won't let Necrothreat down!

I want a dwarf that works with either metal, gems, stone, or bone. Name him/her Navarro.Please and thank you. If there are even enough dwarves left in the fort for me to get one :)
This is ridiculous! Could I get a turn?
Sure but good luck actually reaching it.

Nicely said, sodlier! Now. There are a few forumations that need to be done, but to make it easy, I will require everybody that wants to be forumited to state so again. Else we will have to dig it up.
Current people that want forumations:
Apiks - Whatever forumite you fetch me. Let him be known as "Apiks V3"
Ruhn - A male forumite hunter with the profession "NiNja" and "Ruhn" as his name. If you can fetch him a few pets, that'd be awesome too. If there are no hunter forumites, fetch him a random one.

Well that was short lived.
Hello! I have come from a far away land and wish to serve however I may in continueing the survival of this poor poor place ... Please dwarf me, female dwarf as whatever I don't mind :p preferablly the happiest dwarf that's around :pGreat. Another forumite for good ol' IronTomato to make.
Everyone died during my turn.
...
I AM SO SORRY~!!
Actually, I think that was my fault cause I somehow let the damn haxxor in our base :-[Well that was short lived.
Everybody FORUMITED died. There's still plenty 'o forumites remaining from immigrants. Too bad none of the original forumites still exist :(.
don't feel bad man, haxx0rs are PRO. They get past firewalls and passwords all the time.Lol, This should be in their creature desription.
I was the one who sent the military out to get slaughtered by the goblin machinegunners.Actually, I think that was my fault cause I somehow let the damn haxxor in our base :-[Well that was short lived.
Everybody FORUMITED died. There's still plenty 'o forumites remaining from immigrants. Too bad none of the original forumites still exist :(.
I think the haxxor threadnecromancer was worse... Especially the one that came by and breathed fire and torched the front fields. I swear, whoever modded that to be in there that haxxors breathe fire should be have their fourmite be chained in the front door when the next haxxor thread necromancer comes in.I was the one who sent the military out to get slaughtered by the goblin machinegunners.Actually, I think that was my fault cause I somehow let the damn haxxor in our base :-[Well that was short lived.

Pardon me for impatience, but I'm hoping we still hold out despite our haxxor buddyHey, Iron, you still with us? Those fourmites arent gonna get themselves killed by thread necro- wait... Nevermind, they actually doAh'm workin'! Sit down an' shaddap!
EDIT: I'm angry. My brother deleted my Dwarf Fortress jokingly, not thinking that I was doing this. Don't worry, I had already backed up the save out of paranoia, but dropbox isn't letting me get TehLOLmod. I'm getting a 403. Can't move on until I get it back.
Actually, the ballista/catapult battery is useless. I was going to dismantle it and reposition it during my turn, but I got distracted.Wellm that takes out my logic for the whole system... :-\
Ballistae and catapults all fire along the z-level they are on. So if we want to shoot the thread zombies with pointy wooden sticks, the ballistae will need to be on ground level.
Yeah, this isn't going to make any progress anytime soon.
Skip me, or just bump me to the bottom of the list. Ah'll be back, either way.
Between the funeral, homework, chores, family, and being the forgetful person that I am, I couldn't get barely anything done.
On my spare time, I'm gonna try and do an adventurer mode in this and see what bullcrap I can accomplish before I get swarmed by thread necromancers. Itll pass time and hopefully get more attention back to Necrothreat II. I do have to admit though, its kinda dead here :(
EDIT: Question: WHOS THE SADIST WHO GAVE THE GAMERS FIRE BREATH!?!?!?!That would be me, Trollolololol.
And yes, gamers are overpowered.I think I found that out when they set fire to our front yard and killed a good chunk of our people and burned out traps
I can do some LOL-modding if needed. For the lulz.
Those gamers and l33ts and whatnot are too overpowered.The L33Ts are supposed to be overpowered, but I never really tested them to see how overpowered the others were.
What was so funny about the sentient spambot from Necrothreat I? What did it say?What I found funny wasn't the spambot itself, I found the fact that Toady One came in and "fought" it kinda became a joke amongst us if anything (which I think theres more to some of us, I just cant put my finger on the right words). I wasn't there when it happened, but I think we ended up creating a spambot creature that shoots a gas at people that makes them stop what theyre doing, hence "annoying" them. I'm still trying to get my adventures up and running but no offense to us all, but FOURMITES SUCK! Like holy crap, when its not bogeymen, its frigging Gamers and stuff that kill me... And what happened to the slendermen boogeymen? ???
the sun was starting to set In the east.
the sun was starting to set In the east.Really?
That is what it said, I kid you not. I literally wrote it down from the weather log. I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. I did find the cave after awhile though, and since I just finished work, I'm hoping to get some more of this done and HOPEFULLY make it to the mythical Necrothreat... Cause no one has apparently ever made the trip, and if this guy does, then I think he deserves a spot in the hall of famethe sun was starting to set In the east.
Really?
It's been awhile guys, and I've been lacking In my annoyance due to exams, so WHERE ARE ALL THE UPDATES PEOPLE!? D: I really hope this fortress isn't dying... I really hope we get the ball rolling again soon, I love the chaos we have already XD
BOO!
...also bump
Oh and hi, I'm back
I noticed....so whos turn is it?
If Apiks decides we skip Oranos, it will fall to BFEL then.

I guess you're up, BFEL. If you can clear the mess and get this thing going, I'll give you a cookie and a badge. Even a drawing in your honor that I'll make myself :P.
Try playing with this - dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=7440 .
I honestly don't remember where we last left off. Also, yes. I'd make a drawing of that if you actually accomplish it. If you manage to mod the game even more, great! Good luck and Apiks out.
And away we go!
I'd like a spot on the turn list.
My memory is getting hazy on all the over powered mods the enemies have, but that will add to the surprise/death factor.

Expect everything to die REALLY freaking quickly if the haxxor thread necromancer shows up again. I think we should atom smash our corpses. Its barbaric, but we have to now that we got that monstrosity out there

Lol, your STILL bitching about that?
I mean really man, losing is fun. Deal with it :P
Also I know I'm supposed to be playing this, but I'm kinda delayed because this resurrected right when I got first modding turn on the DF from scratch thread....so yeah I'm kinda dealing with that right now, but once that's done I'll be ready to cower in fear of anything in the fort XD.
BTW, did you guys know the original Necrothreat has an absurd number of views now? If you filter for most views its on the fourth page.....which doesn't SEEM too impressive until you notice its right ABOVE one of the Cacame stories (no not the original one, but still a lot of freakin views.)
I believe in your powers, my comrades.

Do you also believe in love after love?

Ok, I just finished looking this over and there is something I must say.
This disgusts me. It absolutely, positively disgusts me.
WHAT HAVE YOU PEOPLE BEEN DOING?
Let me list my many grievances:
1. WE HAVE NO MINERS
2. There are two trade depots, for completely unknowable reasons.
3. Neither of them is wagon accessible.
4. Instead of a safe, secure "airlock" design for the depot, we have clusterfuckmcwhywouldyoudothistome?
5. There is an area of the fort that is entirely unconnected to the rest of the fort except through the surface. I have no idea why it exists.
6. You drained the river into a large room for no discernible reason.
7. This room is secured from the rest of the fort not by a secure drawbridge, but by DOORS.
8. Said doors WERE NOT FORBIDDEN, ANYONECOULDHAVEOPENEDTHEMANDFLOODEDTHEENTIREFORTWHATISWRONGWITHYOU?????
9. The flood room? RIGHT NEXT TO THE BEDROOMS.
10. Oh its for the well. YOU ARE NOT FORGIVEN.
11. Two bedrooms are ABSURDLY huge, and all others are so miniscule I will curse your names forever.
12. One of the giant bedrooms? Owned by a GHOST. A FUCKING GHOST MILKER HAS THE BEST ROOM IN THE FORT. I am seriously considering making him my dorf, just to punish you.
13. The only engraved room in the fort is dedicated to housing 4 silver statues and a caged human. I assume he is a necromancer, and this is some pagan, Armok damned ritualistic worship. This cannot be tolerated.
All in all, WHAT THE FUCK
Never, and I mean NEVER, let him out.

Not sure if you are still taking overseers, but I would like a go if you are. Plus, I'd like to be dorfed as Dw4rf, a military inclined dwarf. Who will most likely die, this being necrothreat.
As for dorfing, do what you see fit, BFEL. I can't really order you around.

Yeah, I'm too sexy to be ordered around.
Its a fact of physics.
I really hope this isn't dying: I want it to go on to my turn.

I guess now would be a good time to redorf me.*swings around a tankard of ale*
Beautiful, BFEL, beautiful. Wait... Fated Seducer? Well this is interesting. I guess I'm haunted by the ghosts of my parents as well.
HEY THAT RANDOM MICROCLINE OUTPOST IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WAS MY GREATEST CREATION. DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK ABOUT IT LIKE THAT.
And Meepo died to a vampire? That's so undwarfly.
Ok, so let me be frank.
Necrothreat, contrary to popular opinion, is boring.
Horribly, horribly boring.
So boring that I have left you updateless for well....awhile.
BUT THAT CHANGES TODAY!
BECAUSE TODAY I TAKE A DWARF AND CHANGE HIS LIFE, AND HIS NAME!
TODAY ATHEL SAZIREKAST IS NO MORE.
Because today.....Maximus !FUN! is born.....

Oh, I'm releasing our necromancer by the way.
Putting him in a big pile outside with all the other caged stuff :P

BFEL, How's it going?
I had an idea. Why don't you put a few corpses in with the necromancer, station the military there, and lock the door? Maybe you could dig a second room connecting to the necro room, and connect them with a drawbridge. Make a corpse stockpile in the second room. You can raise or lower the drawbridge to give the necromancer line-of-sight so you can control when it raises the corpses. Use that to train a military.
I did the whole necro training thing in one fort. Reanimated some dogs and put my best military dwarf with them. Zombie dog promptly chewed his face off. Oh well, that's dwarf fortress. You kill a dragon and get defeated by a dog ::)
Alright. I've talked to BFEL. We're skipping him. As is customary, I'm giving the save to Sprin if he replies to my message on the forums.
EDIT: I've decided that people will be given ONLY ONE week worth of time to play their 1 year. If they exceed over the limit, they will have to give their savegame if they've made any progress at all and we proceed to the next person.
Really hope to see this fort take a turn for the worsefixed that for you.
I support 1 week timer on Forumite leadership!

Downloaded the save and am ready to begin my slow decent into madness.
Sprin, after reading Necrothreat one, there will be no descent into madness. You're already there.

My turn in Necrothreat I (which was also the first one) was just ridiculous to me. I read somewhere that popular Succession fortresses had somebody die on the first year, and a day later ToadyOne dies >.<. I like to believe that's when the curse of ToadyOne over Necrothreat began.

Well he did come to rid us of the sentient spambot. But as far as I can remember, we never did get his body out of the small pool, did we?

We lasted for 5+ years at the very least before communication was cut off from the outside world and the world plunged into darkness.
Wow. Did this really happen? I believe that a haxxor necrothreader came YET AGAIN and engulfed the map in flames and since he himself is probably immune from fire, he survived. Good luck, Sprin. You need it now more than ever. We barely survived one haxxor and now a second one... I hope you got free traps available. Oh boy this is gonna be fun.
Ooops. A mistake. I hath forgotten that it was the L33t Gamers and not the Haxxor that did that. Well it's still terrible enough.
I caught a Thredromancer, everything is still on fire, and there is a HUGE pile of severed lims on our door step... Still going better than Nerothreat one! also were is the draw bridge lever?
Or...put it in the same room as the other one? Do some new magic to seal it up?
If you don't wanna do the above, guess I'd go for !!Science!!
+1 !Or...put it in the same room as the other one? Do some new magic to seal it up?

I think we should honestly seal up this one right next to the other in a differnet room. Then we can start a collection of how many thread necromancers we can contain within our halls :P
also I have one questionProbably caged thread zombies that just faded away?
Why are there forumite corpses in cages? they take up most of the stock pile!
The threadromancer' fate has been decided!
Life imprisonment!
He will be in a tiny 3 by 3 room for the rest of his internal life.
Hey what if I use his cell to store the large amount of body parts his friends left on our door step?
Hey wait aperently a bunch of dudes are being herased by severed hands!
I think they are in the fortress.
Also... *Cough*Spoiler (click to show/hide)
We get like mini updates and other stuff, but we never go on will a full turn...
ITS JUST LIKE OLD NECROTHREAT! :P
Sorry for not posting sooner guys. I've been pretty busy partying and stepping on wasp nests.
Necrothreat is messing with DwarfTherapist, I think it's listing every ghost and zombie as a live dwarf. There are 31 dwarves in the fort, and DwarfTherapist is saying there are 59. This is making it pretty much useless, so I have to use the awful dwarf fortress interface.
Necrothreat 2 is pretty much a regular average fort, except everything is too powerful to fight. This doesn't actually make the most fun experience.
I tried to train a squad of 7 soldiers (lead by Apiks V3), all but one of them died against a gamer ambush :( All the gamers died or ran away, and the set the yard on fire again. I guess we technically won that battle.
The chief medical dwarf is actually being useful. She ran out onto the charred battlefield, found the lone survivor of the battle, and brought him inside. Now she is actually healing him even though we don't have a hospital. I named her Sprin.
I am now working on a hospital.
Ah, it's good to get an update! Even if it only brings more death. But I suppose death is to be expected in Necrohreat.
You do relize the dwarf you named Sprin was my nurse Jenny...
WAIT SINCE WHEN DID SHE BECAME A DOCTOR!?
You do relize the dwarf you named Sprin was my nurse Jenny...
WAIT SINCE WHEN DID SHE BECAME A DOCTOR!?
It is quite obvious what has happened here. The mad Doctor has transplanted his own brain into his nurse and become...The Mad Docteress? Doesn't have the same ring to it :P
I renamed Sprin to "Jenny the chief Medical Nurse"
Over half the fort is dead, only 30 dwarves left.So business as usual?

Of course!Over half the fort is dead, only 30 dwarves left.So business as usual?

Through my research if we don't keep with the tradition of killing half the fort each turn we would open a wormhole to another demnsion that is filled with world eating giant fluffy womblers!
'Tis a great shame. Ruhn hasn't responded nor has he been on Bay12 since the 30th of August. I give folks 2 days to reply after I send them their messages and he hasn't. Well then. It's time for Th4DwArfY1. We're finally getting to the more latest of people so I'm hoping that they will actually play. Also, I think I'll start requesting overseers right about now so feel free to join in.I just hope we don't go through rotation again...

"Lay Jenny, dead" This sort of explains that question :DApiks has been a woman in almost every sense of foumiting, I doubt its an issue. Btw, when my corpse finally dies, refoumite me please as the best swordsman, I want to cut up moar thread zombies with my sword-chucks! Wait, wrong bullshit :-[
Also, Apiks I have every military dwarf as a woman for some reason, bar one. I couldn't find a male one for myself even. Also, incidentally, the only male one is my "husband". So, do you mind being a girl?
Wait, what about poor Gaul???? I know, he can be the one man!

Froth dripped from my mouth, but I did not care. My thoughts did not penetrate far through the mad red haze which had dropped in front of my eyes. KILL. TROLLS. NOW. The scourge of Necrothreat will now know why to fear our blades! Yelling, I ran into their 6 strong ranks, surrounded by my faithful companio…..Wait, WHERE IS THE MILITARY!Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Blackness…blackness all around me. From the depths of this inky sea rises a face wreathed in flame. I know it, for it is engraved in the minds of all young Forumites. Armok. I try to kneel in awe, and find I have no body, no flesh with which to prostrate myself.
“Go forth” Roared the voice softly, quiet and loud at the same time. “I will give you a new body, one you will control. You will protect Necrothreat, shield it. Go forth.” A burning hand reached for me, enfolded me, seared me. Screaming silently, I was borne away on a wave of fire.
Pain…I feel pain. But…I DO feel. Light pierces my eyes, and I open them. Indistinct shapes swarm around me. I blink, and they coalesce into people looking down at me with concern on their faces. I live!
What, should we chop off your zombified head and stick it in a door? :P
Hey, we have two artifact gauntlets now, one left and one right. Equip someone with both.Someone should be a wrestler with both of them and say that it just decimates people.
Great writing DwArfY1.

That sounds great to me! I shall bear the Gauntlets of Necrothreat II with honor and name them, NecroCracker and SkillHax! It's time to put those rotten Necrothreaders back into the hole they came from, and maybe, just maybe, survive the darkness within...
Anyways, your turn should normally end this Thursday. This means that you have 2 days, but I am willing to give you until Saturday if there are no folks that mind. What say you folks? Should I give this good man an extra 2 days?
For those that don't understand what we're talking about, we're roleplaying to invite characters from the book series "The Wheel of Time" from Robert Jordan. I thought I might add that to clear up everything since not everybody might have read it.Ive been wanting to read it for some time now. I actually knda want myself dead now after reading that. Plus, it would allow me to be refourmited :P
Lol, yeah, InsanityIncarnate. the last book was released this year I believe and the first book was out in 1984. It is exactly that ridiculously long book series that is actually quite good. There are a total 14 books if you don't count the prologue one. (which by itself is a whipping 334 pages)Just cause you recommended it, I'm getting the first book as soon as I get paid... Next week :-\
I'm hoping that those that have read the books and have a turn won't give too much of direct spoilers to the series so you're good. I highly recommend it for reading though.
Highmax, you don't have to have you zombie die for a reforumiting. If you want I'll do it and keep zombie you as a pet.
Highmax, you don't have to have you zombie die for a reforumiting. If you want I'll do it and keep zombie you as a pet.
I got this brilliant idea: REfourmite me, and make the refourmited me kill the old me and make it sound like I had this mental battle which is actually going on in reality. Would sound so epic...
Add paranoia, descent into madness, immeasurable mental pain, voices, filthiness of the mind, foggy mind, memory lapses and such. I am eagerly awaiting for it.
That was fabulous, Highmax, I'll add it to the OP immediately. With this, DwArfY1's turn is over and we can finally move onto Elephant Parade. Are you ready to take the mantle of leadership, Elephant Parade?
I also support any discussions one might have to the mental battle for I think it was excellent, all things considered. It was confusing indeed and I liked that.
EDIT: I do, however, believe that there was just a bit too much pain in that and not enough doubt. As well as a distinct lack of detail and a bit too much using of the same words. Other than that, it was excellent in every way! Good job, Highmax!

Double-posting so people respond.
Yeah, I'm not quite sure what to do here. There should be a channel in front of the bridge to defend against building destroyers, but I'm just going to see what we have little of.
Precisely. Even the zombie sieges didn't work out right. But it sure was fun to see innocent Jenny rise from the grave and kill a few zombies.
I suppose only Sprin could've created such a creature. Good job!

We need to be more careful with taking the firewalls down for maintenance.
Hopefully no Haxx0rz notice the hole in our defences.
Hes got two days, so he should be fine if things go smoothly for him (but since when do they ever?)
And apiks, you weren't joking how sexist wheel of time was :o
I'm expecting some sort of carnage in the next update; we have the habit of not lasting in peace for long

You just had to say it, didn't you.
Whoops... Note to self: shut up :-[It's not that bad. The migrants were pretty much screwed anyway, and the necrothreaders are few now that they burned themselves to death in a forest fire. Seriously, I think all the threaders died, with some animated parts and thread zombies remaining.

Oh, wow. Good job Highmax! As if we weren't in a bad enough position already. Oh well. We will perservere!
As for you, Elephant Parade, you officially accepted your term on the 20th of September, which would be last Friday, right after DwArfY finished with his story element. I am willing to give you an extra day though, just for good measure.
Also, Highmax, I understand sexism towards women in medieval ages, but what I'm seeing constantly is sexism towards men...
I might try at some point. They should certainly have a weakness, but right now they kill themselves and 75% of their army if they meet a foe in a grassy area. Of course, this can also kill dwarves that happen to be outside, but they'd die anyway from fireballs.

L33t gamerz should be fire immune, not necrothreaders. l33ts breathe fire, so if one of the necrothreaders is a l33t gamer, then its that specifically, not all thread necromancers. Plus, only High Lord Threadromancers can actually shoot fireballs if I recall...

And BFEL made it so that High Thread Necromancers do not exist and are only logged into the histories as existing.... He did not expect that to happen.
Ha. Looks like I got the easy year, ElephantParade. Good luck!

Thinking about it. Perhaps he should be sent out to die? Nah, I have a better idea.
Well this is getting ridiculous. 230 non-forumites? This will indeed be a hurdle to go over. It's like it's Necrothreat vs the world (which it happens to be). Looking forward to more!
Also, what year are we at? I lost count since I finished my turn ;P.

Too bad, I'm busy.
Yep, can't argue with that logic. Though, maybe we could reforumite his wife from Necrothreat I? She could ride the reindeer in a righteous charge of glory!
Funny though that from one turn to another Armok went from the Dark One to a force for good. Though I don't suppose I ever did tell any forumite the truth of Armok....
Oh! Oh! We could mod the reindeer to be war trainable and have a cavalry in Teh LOLmod!
Oh god, I can already see it happening! Necrothreat I all over again! This is merely the start of the end! Ruuun! *runs away like a madman*like a madman? This is Necrothreat, fool! You are a madman!

Look for the history of other fortresses that is the size of your hand... ON THE SCREEN
Hmm. Should I try uploading it as a .rar instead?Yeah, if that don't work, do as apiks and I did and upload on mediafire. DFFD seems to look at me and laugh and never work for me
Hmm, I guess I'll do that. It's short-term only, though. So there will forever be a missing chapter in Necrothreat II.Hmm. Should I try uploading it as a .rar instead?Yeah, if that don't work, do as apiks and I did and upload on mediafire. DFFD seems to look at me and laugh and never work for me
Ha, thanks for the complement highmax. In fact, earlier tonight I posted this: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=131590.msg4644695#msg4644695
Doesn't seem to be too popular, but oh well. Sorry if this seems like advertising, but it's really just cause you brought it up
It may not be a meme, but I think Mastacheese would approve of us making it one... As well as his wife :PYES! Reindeer cavalry would be awesome (although it's already been added by the time I read this.)
I'm not sure what you're proposing/talking about
The demo version is what I was talking about, not the actual normal song version. Im pretty sure when he screams about "dragon reborn" it makes me think of wheel of time (since there was a lot of hype about that one guy).
So... Whens that update? :P
I'm willing to sign up for four or five turns later, when the fortress is more complicated and fun.

You assume that we are not invaded by headless reindeer riders by then.
I will get the save downloaded and begin playing tonight.
Haven't heard of Blind Guardian before, will have to look them up.
My brewery skills are pretty good, I think we can get that industry moving again shortly.
I know, that blasted were-porcupine was earmarked for the next training exercise in the arena but survived when my turn ended. Also, glad you fir Perrin in, even if you did change his eye colour

Yeah, we didn't have a good blacksmith but the guy i picked had other crafting and a little fighting skills.

Yep, Bay12 sure is great. No sexism, racism and the only problem is the cats. Oh dear Armok the cats
Also, Ruhn I think you did a good job on Perrin but you could maybe make him seem more....Well, you know how he thinks. Slow and careful. Pus, he HAS to be either a good hammer or axe forumite. He has to be.
Yep, Bay12 sure is great. No sexism, racism and the only problem is the cats. Oh dear Armok the catsCareful planning for everything... yes, I can work with that. Thanks for the reminder. He has level 1 in axe; our military skills are pretty depleated right now. I just wish DF let dwarfs use real hammers and mauls, instead of war hammers.

Well since I'm on a roll here, I'll ask for the third time. What year are we at?!
Looks like we started in 251, and currently it is 257. So I think we lasted 6 years so far?Well since I'm on a roll here, I'll ask for the third time. What year are we at?!
I don't even know anymore. Yeah, what's the year? >_> did we last longer then necrothreat I?
Apiks, how many years was necrothreat I? 4?
Apiks, how many years was necrothreat I? 4?
I have absolutely no idea but I believe it was around that or atleast close to it. In all cases, we're already at Necrothreat I level. Huzzah.
I really didn't get the free time needed to play this week, only got thru 5 days on Monday.
Someone else is welcome to take over from the previous save.
It's a cool fort, I just need a free Saturday to be able to get through a year.
Then it loops back to you apiks? Or... Am I the unlucky one in rotation...?
I see this giant lolcat fighting a gun-bear in a Godzilla-esque fight. Then, during the battle, necrothreat gets destroyed along with the world, and in the two giants battling on the remnants of the world, they make a new one out of the losers body, kinda like Ymir except hilariously done. And Armok and the other gods just watch and laugh at how ridiculous the fight was.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves! Necrothreat II still stands! We have some way to go until Necrothreat III.
Or you could start the cycle and skip me. :P
I'll get it to you today or tomorrow.Or you could start the cycle and skip me. :P
... You're serious aren't you?
Upload the save when you're ready Ruhn. I guess I'm taking over
I'm up to Felsite so far, Perrin just got taken by a mood so this could be a convenient way to end the turn short.
You bet you do. I expect you to do well.
Sword enthusiast, warrior defendant of the hallowed halls of Necrothreat, smiter of foes, cleaver of zombies and the bane of Necrothreaders NOT aggresive!!!??? You aim your hopes too high...
Precisely. It is the Dwarven way, and as such is above reproach.
Also, am I married to the vampire? I don't know from the gender, I may be male or female.

Hence why we're cowardly forumites and not dwarfs (i really like dwarfs though :()
What are courage wolves from, anyway? Also, lolcats need to knock their foes unconscious with laughter, and distract them with funny cat videos.

That's a courage wolf. Your turn now, highmax!
Just a question, Ruhn. Is the vampire imprisoned? Or is he still walking free. If free you should wall him up highmax.I'll probably throw him outside with the fire
hahaha....errr yes. About that. Well, see, we only had spear forumites available to kill your dead/alive body. So when you changed form....well, let's say you shortened your blade and lengthened your hilt. That make it easier? :D... I'm taking back my blades of death... Thank you...
Hey, I was just looking through Necrothreat one again, more towards the end. Why were all those great ideas never put in the mod? Overweight humans, sentient spam bots, elven hippies, duct tape sutures for heavens sake!
Agreed. Maybe you could start a thread in the modding section? Open the doors of Teh LOLmod and see what people do. If it goes horribly wrong you would still have the original as backup. Be good to have some of that stuff, and I myself found my exceedingly limited modding skills pushed just putting in a new breed of reindeer :)
17th of Hematite, 257: Progress and the Enemy Swim MeetingSieges tend to mostly break themselves when the forest burns down.
We dug up some more magnetite for the forges. We also got those corpses hauled away (btw, a baby died of dehydration as well) as we speak. I stopped pestering the vampire after Perrin got mad at me for throwing his axe over the wall and almost loosing it. We also heard of a bunch of gamerz and thread zombies having a grnad old time in the river (I do hope they're drowning... Damned bastards...). Also to mu curiosity and shock, I found out today Apiks has been away somewhere and came back looking a bit different... Odd...
LATER:
Some migrants have arrived despite the danger... Well, they're dead soon... They're presently being hunted down by gamerz shooting them down. I also found out we are COMPLETELY INADQUATE FOR BREAKING A SIEGE... Whats wrong with this place!?!?! Its been years since I last took hold and we have an army with only two people above adequate in weapon proficiency and one of them is rusty... I swear, this place is going to be the death ofme...
Meanwhile, the voices continue, but I hope its the ghosts... I hope to god its nothing worse...
I'm verry sorry, for some reason it looks like I re-uploaded the previous fort, instead of the one I worked on.
You were married to the most likely vampire.I'm verry sorry, for some reason it looks like I re-uploaded the previous fort, instead of the one I worked on.
Uh oh...O_o
Nice write up, though highmax! Still find it weird being called a "she" though. I found this funny-Don't think it was intentional, but that was why it was so funny-"I sweat it!"
Also, damn ): I really thought I was married to the vampire. Oh well. Best laid plans etc. I don't suppose my new body has a hand and foot missing?
Righty oh. Pretty much sums up everyone in Necrothreat then. Beaten, battered and with the odd limb missing.
I also meant to say that you're lucky you have a military even that good. When I began there was no skill whatsoever, had to build it out of peasants and fisherforumites. Also,the male squad very nearly didn't exist...it was starting to make it look less like a Forumite's fortress and more like an Amazon's fortress
If anyone is interested, I updated my previous upload with the CORRECT save file :-[
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8032
Soooo does that mean that your turn starts now and what was written before is just a sort of prequel-type thing?If Highmax restarts I think that is the fair way to go.
Wow. You know things have gone horribly wrong when you have been married to a man and haven't known it. Ah, Dwarf Fortress! The place where anything is possible... Just usually the bad things :oDon't feel so bad! He has a beard, she has a beard, and beards are used to nurse... I think it is fair to say that dwarven babies just "spring out of rocks" and the mother is the one who catches it and has to lug the thing around.

Haha, I like that :D
Also, you forget that the Dwarven women in this fortress are actually Forumites. This makes them eight foot tall, as wide as a pillar of stone and tough as old boots. Compared to their midget male brethren, they're quite distinctive. Plus, females of any race are noticeable by their highly erratic behaviour and, in the case of dwarves, the tendency to crush goblins and use the resulting paste to paint the beard around their lips red makes them either female or the Joker.
Booze, coffins, and slabs on repeat got the job done eventually. The new burial area isn't so far away, but maybe I should have fortified it with the risk of necromancers sneaking around and all. Also, there is a spot somewhere below fort that is mostly channeled out and ready for drawbridge.

1) I'm still worthless with a sword
-Aiel don't use swords? I forgot about your sword preference, perhaps Capt of the Guard would be the best fit after all.
2) The damn seal is open
-I didn't have time to learn the ritual to seal it. Flaming Aes Sedai wouldn't cooperate.
4) The chief medical dwarf is still resting (thinking about pulling the plug)
-It's a traction bench, that usually takes a while. Maybe a new "Dr" would help things along? :o
5) Vampire is still walled off
-One new "Likely" vampire, as nominated by Elephant, is still on the loose. I kept a carful watch but never ate, slept, or drank.Wow.

If you're talking about the Aes Sedai? That wasn't a spoiler, merely a comment on the "magic users" not helping him.Aiel, i don't know what those are yet... Just that Rand looks like one of them (i think if thats what Aielman is...)
Always a good sign when you start your turn on a succession fort with "Gods have mercy on us all"...A good 1/8th of our populace are wounded or missing limbs, you being the worst of them. Our soldiers are horrible in combat skills. The land is on fire. There are severed limbs on top of the TREES. There are three corpses on fire and taking it like champs. And we have too many god damn useless animals...
Hey, no animal is useless! *Highmax looks at me like I'm an elven hippy. I tilt my head towards the butchers workshop and wink* Like I said, not useless at all....They're useless for everything BUT that. Which is why they're going through that as we speak ;D
I also just discovered the Jerkface Elephant Parade has 42 cabinets... I don't know why...Yep, his tomb is full of them. I guess it's good that I never built one for Perrin, since it would have gone to waste. My own fault for never doing anything with that vampire, guess he knew that I knew.

Did you finish the lower drawbridge, or are the hatch covers the only defense against any possible visitors from the deep?

Follow the stairs down: you'll see 3x3 iron hatch covers.
Further down a spot has been set aside for a drawbridge. There are up stairs on left, down on right. It is being setup to have doors on each side to safely lock when the bridge needs to be raised.
I haven't thought of a way to keep the forges safe if we have to close off the fortress this way.

Understandable, but why doesn't everyone have one?
Some rooms are missing cabinets, but mind you they're smaller and kinda hiddenUnderstandable, but why doesn't everyone have one?
...What? Did I miss some rooms? Huh. I gave a bunch of rooms cabinets and chests.
This is moving faster than I can react. I have no idea which lever opens what though.
On the other hand, I will very soon update the main post and get around to making a topic in the mod section for Teh LOLmod, so stay tuned for that!
Also, 1 more vote left in the Hall of Fame for Necrothreat to be admitted. We got a month and a half, so if you want us in there, be sure to vote.
May the Maker's blessing be with you.
I made the drawbridges and the levers in the hall, as well as labelling them. As far as I know, there wasn't any other form of stopping enemies other than the cage traps. I think I was the first Forumite who even considered "Turtling" the fort, so there's an explanation for the high death rates then and relatively more stable population now. As a side note, I'd like to ask any future overseers to leave notes-personally, I can't work without them :)YOU MEAN THIS ONE!? *pulls it* oh shit...
Also, that lever beside the gates I think, stress on the think, has something to do with the water trap above the Depot, so if I were you I'd leave it alone, lol
I think you mean "OH, WATER!!!"With the amount of shit probably stuck in it (I haven't looked but I think I see where the source is) theres plenty of shit coming out also... Like corpses and blood and gear, and etc.... I never used pumps so I don't know what it brings up
the tree hugging corpses
the tree hugging corpses
Wow, I didn't know those were elven limbs :D
Seems to be a trait of Necrothreat though. If it isn't head, it's limbs. Now all we need is a torso and we're well on our way to creating our very own Frankenstein's Monster!
And lo, the truth of the ages has reared its head. Highmax must now seek the ultimate truth which has eluded him despite his relentless tenacity in trying to find it- Thou shalt not open the doors of Necrothreat, for once that which is twisted and ungodly has seen inside those many-hued halls, their lust over powers them and no force of dwarf, forumite, human or elf shall stand in the way of their legions.Says the one who foolishly ran up to the Yak during a burrow order AND a station order
In other words, you probably shouldn't have opened those gates, highmax :)
Starting today, I;m enlisting many into the army. We shall create a force of soldiers far greater and stronger then ever heard of before. We will fight the last battle against the dead, and we'll take the battle to them. But today, we wait, and we train. All will know the bravery of DwArfY how he held off Cutstandards single handedly, despite his broken body...YES!!!
So, let me get this straight. I have been the play-thing of gods and their vampire servants, I have led the unwashed masses into a new age of splendour and military accomplishment. I have died, and risen again. The power of flame and sword, of divine wrath itself, was not enough to stop me. I have battled zombies, had their grasping hands inches from my neck and still come out on top. My influence helped to purge the spirits of the undead from the halls of the fortress and returned a fellow being back into the halls of life. I spat in the eye of Armok himself!
All that, I have done. I have seen the rise and fall of many suns and moons, the turning of the world and one season blending into another in a dizzying blend. And it all ends in a muddy field with a bloody yak goring me. In true Necrothreat spirit, what a Troll
Ha, er...yea, I think the better man won there, well played highmax. Well played.And lo, the truth of the ages has reared its head.

I'll have that in the write up, have it up soon...still work in progress, had to delay it a bit because of RL. Frustrating how RL gets in the way of good Dwarf Fortress time, isn't it?Quite, especially since I gotta hide this all the time except on weekends from my mother who hates all games with a passion ::)

20th of Opal, 258: Trade?
Remember those migrants I told you about? Well, one of them ISN'T I migrant; hes the outpost liason. He still thinks elephant parade is the overseer, so he's getting a good yelling right now. I peeked in on the conversation a bit and discovered that they were dealing with some trade. I altered it a bit to ask for swords. ALOT of swords... And steel anvils for melting along with some metal bars. Know what elephant parade wanted? Cloth... Silk cloth... Really? We need clothes, yeah, but not enough to want it THAT badly!
I just saw this... And if I leave the fourm thing open for awhile, it starts to lag hard. And when I mean hard, I mean I can't even click the "post" button without clicking 100000 times... Trust me, its as annoying as it is for me as it is for you... And as for Microsoft wording it, I tend to loose track because I'm always doing like 4+ things at once (change a song, DF, reading stuff, checking phone, this, pokemon, etc.) so an open document won't be much help...

Story, man. Story. We might be overdoing it a bit, but hell. In this place, being revived is a curse, not a blessing.
Heyaa, everybody. What's happening?HOLY CRAP! EVERYONE BUT BFEL IS HERE NOW!!!!
Heyaa, everybody. What's happening?
A high lord Threadromancer showed his face. Think he might've just been a ressurected corpse, but still... I can also see that they're not immune to fire, so they must've killed themselves during world gen with the amount of fire they're spreadingHeyaa, everybody. What's happening?
Forest fires. So many forest fires.

I see a lot of old faces, and a lot of new faces. I'd say Necrothreat II is faring a lot better than the first. :)

It certainly has increased in popularity, but Necrothreat I is a classic. I mean, where can you see a head destroying a whole fort that has withstood countless invasions by all manner of forces?
Glad to see you back again. Read up on all of the new goodiness. We're mostly focusing on the story.
Give me Ruhn (male hunter if one is available) with title of "NiNja".Highest ambusher skill? :P
Well, no hunter so I gave you the most epic crossbow forumite. He has something like 60 kills, and is legendary with the crossbow. So, I hope that will content you :PThat "he" is a she, and shes a maiden, right?
Hey whatta ya know, he IS a girl. Not a maiden though. Still want her Ruhn?I added a few to the military, and I think one of them became a marksdwarf... Or perhaps both? I wouldn't know
Good looking out, that could have become awkward.Hey whatta ya know, he IS a girl. Not a maiden though. Still want her Ruhn?I added a few to the military, and I think one of them became a marksdwarf... Or perhaps both? I wouldn't know
Probably the badass maiden leader who carries a crossbow
Nope, not the FB killer. However, she did kill a minotaur. Four times. :o:oSpoiler (click to show/hide)
I'll take whatever is still alive.Not really, but it was tempting
Name them "Mastahcheese Returns"
I'd ask for a military dwarf, but I think they all are at this point.
If we are getting ready for The Last Battle, I sure hope everyone is training up those ski11z.I hope we don't get a Ragnarok where everything just burns...
...Alright, I didn't mean to make this much bother. I'll start again tomorrow, most of my frustration is gone by now so I may not get mad at DF. I'll keep my spot, I suppose. Already redownloaded.*sits patiently, with eager eyes awaiting storytime*
Oh, guess I got here a half-hour late. Have fun Dwarfy!Just don't let the severed head doom us all! :o
I'm willing to take a turn pretty much whenever.
Don't worry, I'm sure there are plenty of other things that could cause our doom instead.Oh, guess I got here a half-hour late. Have fun Dwarfy!Just don't let the severed head doom us all! :o

Just be VERY VERY VERY careful of the Haxxor Threadromancers and the High Lord Threadromancer Coprse I saw that set himself on fireDon't worry, I'm sure there are plenty of other things that could cause our doom instead.Oh, guess I got here a half-hour late. Have fun Dwarfy!Just don't let the severed head doom us all! :o

I remember everyone being disappointed that the High Lord Threadromancers were all dead. Turns out that didn't slow them down very much.Death; an excuse to become 100% better
It occurs to me that we are still missing someone....Should we reforumite The Toady One? I'll leave it to you to decide.
Let him come; he'll do battle against the sentient spambots! (They're in this version, right?)
That was a good story Sprin. I must know more! Who is the stranger in the shadows, I wonder? Some dark person from the histories of Necrothreat? Or maybe even Jenny herself.... :oMy assumption:
Oy, what's this? A bolt thrower? Why thank you Dorfy, it will look great mounted above my still.I always saw you as rather docile and panicy in your updates...
Wait... you want me to fight, dont'ya. I've only survived this long by staying inside.
Damn. Ok. Overseer's orders, even if you are an undead abomination.
At least I won't have to get close to any zombies.
I think Sprin was seen as your run-of-the-mill doctor since most forumites see doctors as madmen. Hence why they weren't all that scared of him.Insanity is the norm around here.
Ahhh, the original curse of NAV. I had forgotten of that. I can't believe we brought it up right now since it feels like a lifetime since I wrote it. You guys are great.Well, he DID like to pull out a chainsaw on us...

Alrighty. Since Elephant Parade won't be taking his turn anytime soon, he'll be put at the end of the turn list, unless he says that he wishes to be removed from it. Meanwhile, Ruhn will have to take over after DwArfY (funny how everybody is wondering how to delay their turn all the time).If ruhn went after me, we'd be going backwards in the turn order (I think?)

*Sighs* Fine, I'll start work on a stack.Good gods... First the flames that burned the fields and now lava that purges the land!
Anyone remember the Trialfires magmafall? We need the same thing in Necrothreat.
Perrin was my favorite character from that series.Mines a mix of Perrin and Mat at the moment. And Lan as well
I've always liked Mat. He gets so much cooler later on.He kicks the shit outta two trainees at once when hes sick, THATS awesome... And I wish he could still use the dagger, that thing was awesome
*Sighs* Fine, I'll start work on a stack.Good luck, I will try to finish whatever is left once you complete.
Ah yes, sorry I forgot about your memory...maybe you could do something about being drawn to a book in the library? Do we even have a library? Hell, I didn't know any of them could even read.If I can read that book of rituals and spells, I can read at least (story wise).
Ah. Sort of like the Oracle of Delphi? Maybe you could have mystic powers which let you get knowledge...maybe Light magic? Can tell things from the flickering light from torches...Or if you have a different idea, tell me and I'll work it in. Same for anyone else, it might make this more interesting...Really, it's hard to write anything when you're stuck under-ground all day :(
Oh yeah, the brewer. Where is he? OH DEAR ARMOK NOT THE BOOZE :o*grabs Dw4rfY*
*Looks with wide, frantic eyes down at the maddened Forumite holding me aloft by the scruff of my neck*
Hey, not even Armok is evil enough to cut off the booze supply! It was an accident, I swear!
Are you seriously telling me that we've been surviving without booze? TRAITOR IN OUR MIDST!Highmax, Swords Enthusiast cancels Strangle Th4DwArfY1, throwing tantrum!
Spoiler: Wanted! A Mad Scientist! (click to show/hide)
Yes, it fits in well. Nice work highmax, I enjoyed the backstory :)
Also. Adamantine is blue. You say it was Armok's blood. Troll blood is blue. Armok is a Troller? ???
DwArfY, do you want to hand over the save as-is? I would hate for us to loose the stories generated so far.
Soooo is D&D a computer game, or is it the thing with dice? Really, the closest I have gotten is Warhammer 40k
Its a pen and paper game where dice is done for almost anything you do. Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights are indeed video games based on them, and they're fun but VERY challenging and, in my opinion, limited compared to what you can do in D&D proper.Soooo is D&D a computer game, or is it the thing with dice? Really, the closest I have gotten is Warhammer 40k
As far as I am aware, D&D started as a type of game with dice and then the mechanism using it were integrated into some games (most old rpgs [Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter nights and so on]).
Great poem Dwarfy.I got no problem. Highmax may be doing some stuff in the first necrothreat, specifically hunting Ur...
I haven't had much time for Df this week. Lots of school work and family visiting. Might be a few days late for my turn.

I did say he was going to try, right?
I need to learn to stop falling off that damn grid. They should put a rail on that thing its dangerous!I died and got zombified again
So what I miss?
That's pretty much it. Zombified Highmax, Gaul fighting outside, Solon, Sulin and Asmel added to the Hall of Fame, I wrote a poem and NAV avoided death by drinking. As dwarves do.But we're fourmites, not dwarves ;D

I'm more then likely going to bullshit it. I did try and find necrothreat in an adventurer as a haxxor, but I ended up deleting the save file on accident :-[
There was no real hax, although they get a stupidly high boost to their sneak when they start and use their natural ability...

I call hax! I also call an end to this ridiculous conversation. For the good of all Forumites :D
I enjoyed the poem as well.That'd be epic...
If we have/get an artifact instrument, perhaps that could be used to call our heroes back to fight once more.

Oh yeah...and then all we need to do is lead them in a noble charge against Ur. Now all we need is some stupid craftsdwarf to get lucky. Hey, maybe we could just keep crafting instruments until we get a masterwork, horn-like one? Made of gold preferably...
Do we know for sure that there is no such artifact already in the fort/forum?
When our heroes return, they should get a little boost to their fighting stats.
A dead -> alive reaction would be interesting. Can't say I've ever seen anyone do it though. Unless it is the same as necromancy and then there is a creature type change?Do we know for sure that there is no such artifact already in the fort/forum?

Yeah. Maybe we could get someone to mod in a craft-able Golden Horn chased in silver? One that calls any ghosts in the fort back to life...We'd need someone really good though..

Maybe we could make a new character...A noble, maybe, called the Hornblower. In the description it can say he carries a horn, and then he could do a creature change from zombie to alive. Or at the very least from zombie to friend...An anti-Necrothreader as it were.

Not quite what I meant. I meant like the dungeon master...An immigrant noble who comes after certain requirements are met. Maybe after a couple of Necrothreader sieges, I don't know. But yes, we should really call him Mat :D

I like to believe that surviving up until now is a feat of it's own that fulfills requirements, but we most definitely must elaborate further on such a thing.
What??! Toady One? Wasn't he at the head of the zombies when Necrothreat I fell?I'm certain he's a legend amongst fourmites, after all, were fourmites, right?
Side note: That aquifer... oh god that aquifer. I tremble only at the thought of it.
Yes, poor Perrin. Is Jenny here too, or is that different since a necromancer brought her back?You never know...
Bain and Chiad are probably still 100% dead?

It's more about whether the mind has managed to escape the undead scourge that is necromancy or not. So if their minds did manage to escape, then they should be there too I suppose. Some are forever trapped and some escape. We never know. That is the cursed fate of the victims of Necromancy.
Huh, thanks. No one is better or as good as Tolkien though, but even to be compared in some small way is a compliment indeed.He had a LOT of poems and songs in his writings, and all of them are amazing.
Bravo!!Hopefully you don't continue to kill yourself in madness, but who knows what madness comes out of my mind?
The plot thickens, what will happen next?
I stole the reindeer from Santa.I can still say your reindeer had a red nose! :P

I'm surprised I've never heard about this fort before... It's not going to become a legend. It already is.
I would sign up for a turn, however I'm never able to finish them in time thanks to my wooden PC... Do you have any dwarves in your military that you can forumite after me?
Name: Derpislav/Derpislava (if only female ones are found)
Title: The Mountain
If you have time and patience to do that for me, I would like a thought, fast-healing one. Equip him/her with the greatest ammount of armor a dwarf can carry at once and two heaviest shields.
The mountain...Game of Thrones?Don't tell me that Martin did that before me...

Yup, he did.

...After some thinking, y'know what? Sign me up for a turn. Even if my PC is wooden I should be able to complete it if I play day and night all 7 days. This is too good to don't join. However, I will rather focus on fort more, my english is really bad when it comes to writing stories .-.
he became clad in what appeared to be a strange armor that was locked into his body. When the helmet clamped onto his head, his breathing was audible but stable.

So wait, BFEL is a mix between iron man and Darth Vadar? :o
In another thread that mastacheese runs, he has a suit of vampiric power armor. Just thought I'd throw it in cause it's him and his hilarity :PIn another game I ran, he could double the length of his sword.
Was it sword or his "sword"?In another thread that mastacheese runs, he has a suit of vampiric power armor. Just thought I'd throw it in cause it's him and his hilarity :PIn another game I ran, he could double the length of his sword.
He has a habit of gaining bizarre, uncomfortable powers in my games.
The story is going really well! I can't think of anyone who sails, so looking forward to seeing what happens next.It'll seem a little bit obvious once I post it, provided I can do it right
Your stories might be short, but damn they're sure as hell are very good. But the sea. Hmm. I do not know what might call us for that. I await your next post with renewed enthusiasm.Just another reference to a song and a non-WoT series
Errr hate to be a kill-joy, but Sulin and Solon are both alive...they escaped back into the fortress.Could've sworn that they were dead... Which maidens were dead then?
Bain and Chiad are dead, but they died the first day they were forumited so we didn't get much story for them. I'm not sure if we have any other named/famous Maidens besides Sulin, Solon, and them?Actually that works better; those are the two who are actually NAMED in that scene, though it's not those two
Yeah, and mastahcheese can be Lan, riding Mandarb, his reindeer mount :)He is kind of a badass in my views...
Of course he is...Mastahcheese has tamed the wild reindeer of the north, what's not badass about that? Then, to make it even more badass, he died, was reborn with an entire reindeer cavalry and is wreaking havoc upon his enemies there. To be honest, if I ever met Mastahcheese, I would probably be killed by pure badassery.Yeah, and mastahcheese can be Lan, riding Mandarb, his reindeer mount :)He is kind of a badass in my views...

Right! It's December. You can finally vote for Necrothreat II in the Hall of Fame. Feel free to hop on to the thread on the top of the page and cast your vote!
Necrothreat I has also been inducted into the Hall of Fame! Congratulations!
I'm trying to think as to whether that's a reference to something, or if you thought it up yourself.I took like 4 things, two of which are from my own head, and meshed them together. There is a reason why i did this as such
It seems familiar, but nothing immediately comes to mind.
This is awesome writing.Ur is slain; the past heroes are now in their final haven, and the dead no longer fear the pain of undeath. It's not saving the world, but it's a start to making things right in the world
Wow, that was intense. I wonder what will happen from now on. We still have to deal with Armok if not Ur.That is for the others to battle; my quest is done, it is time for the next hero to take his place and end the blood gods game

And then you find out that Ur and Armok hate each other because they're former lovers and have a child, which rises to become an even greater threat than them combined.

Really sorry guys, sorry for keeping you waiting and then not having anything to show for it. Real life just kept getting in the way and I don't want to keep this game stalled any longer. So Sprin, or whoever's next can have their turn now.It's alright. I know how RL can intrude on precious gaming time!
Good job with the stories and poetry. I am quite enjoying it.
Right. I've PMed Sprin. All we're waiting for now is his reply. The story shall continue! I just hope it doesn't turn out like last time Sprin gave it a go :D.Where tal Denber and half the fortress died?

Well, I was looking forward to NAV the cautious, 'cause the fort is in a terrible-siege state. Dunno what'll happen with Sprin the Insane. Maybe he'll be content to merely make a monument to Jenny? Who knows...He'll heroically save the day by defeating the siege by lighting the entire world on fire, then leaving it to the next guy to put out the flames.

Right. Sprin has been pushed back one due to incredulous amounts of work on his side. It is now Elephant Parade's turn!Oh god...
And Elephant Parade gracefully declined as well! As to avoid it being pushed back to Sprin, it is now ☼!!Troll Fur Sock!!☼'s turn! If he also declines, it shall fall down to me to see it through.Maybe you'll get an exciting turn for once

Seriously, I'm still not sure what was up with that.I think we all know the REAL saviour of necrothreat, after those two things, especially that haxxor incident...And Elephant Parade gracefully declined as well! As to avoid it being pushed back to Sprin, it is now ☼!!Troll Fur Sock!!☼'s turn! If he also declines, it shall fall down to me to see it through.Maybe you'll get an exciting turn for once

Man, if it wasn't for the fact that I never have the time for DF, I would want a go at this.After your reindeer cavalry army, I think you deserve it

I know....we need fresh blood for the fort!
Hopefully, we get some new people soon.*raises hand*
I said fresh blood, dammit. *Sighs* You'll have to do...Sorry. My blood's been out in the open for a while, it is no longer fresh.
And this again proves that my internet always chooses the worst time to don't work.
My connection sill has mayor difficulties deciding is it alive or not, and I'm going to register a complain to my provider soon... So I guess untill I get it fixed, let Tomato save the fort. If it's possible, I would like to take the next turn that get's skipped by someone.
Yeah sure, I'll wriggle my way into the turn list.
*Salutes* Sir! I won't let NT down! For real this time!
Could I take another go? I hate myself for not finishing my last one :(
Also, I'm sort of glad Sprin isn't picking the fort up..it's in a vulnerable position, and I feel his playing style would be....aggressive, to say the least :P
Forumite me up, Scotty. Name is Dorsidwarf, job is High Master Derailer.'Kay.
Wat.
I'm confused... Is it my turn? Other people are doing stuff?
With the knowledge that I cannot millitary, and therefore will almost certainly manage to bollix the fort up, may I sign on for an overseer turn?
With the knowledge that I cannot millitary, and therefore will almost certainly manage to bollix the fort up, may I sign on for an overseer turn?Me too. It doesn't really help that there's only a few soldiers.

My frame rate is really slow. Is it OK to execute the he necromancer guy so that there isn't 300 hands and feet crawling around making lag, and I can get stuff done?
I've got the first month done, if you guys would like to see my notes for it.
Any progress? Also, has goblin Christmas come yet? It would be nice if it wouldn't be late. Merry...errr...Goblinmas(?) Everyone!Happy goblin Yule! :P
Eh. At this point it's more like Zombiemas. As in, mass Zombie invasion, merry Zombiemas y'all!Merry zombiemas to you too!
The military doesn't seem to feel like going to the necromancer...Gates probably closed... ANd for a good reason... I think that damn yak is there, just revived
They're all active, no breaks or anything. This is weird.
It would help if you got those notes out soon so that the next person could take over with a more organized effort.K
O.k, three things:
-Jeez you guys are brilliant, I just finished Necrothreat I and am looking forward to reading this!
-May I request a Forumite? Talonis Wolf, preferably Miner (Optional: custom profession "Wolf Acolyte" if that isn't too much?)
-For the modders(assuming additions to the mod are welcome): I noticed that you've changed some of the profession names, but not chief medical dwarf. Here's a possibility for a more fitting prof name: Tech Support.
Also be prepared to read a lot of stories.
...And I've read the whole thread! Wow, you've managed to make this MORE terrifying than the first Necrothreat?!Could you draw DwArfY's last moments as he runs out to fight the Yak? :P
I am afraid. Very afraid.
But at least Ur can't reach me anymo-
Wait, if Ur is the God of Death and Undeath, couldn't his own trace amounts of energy bring him back as an Undead God? Oh, Sacre Merde...
Edit: I'm done the art project I did for Spearbreakers, is there anything you'd like me to try and draw? And please give me some options, there are some things I draw better than others...

The forumite seems to be waving his hands in outrage and finally lets his arms fall beside him in a sign of resignationIs is a metaphor for someone? :P
Highmax, BFEL, Mastahcheese, Jenny, in a barren wasteland, all riding upon the noble backs of reindeer.+1
... As for Ur, well, we'll see. He's the least of our problems for now but his spawn live on.
I am amused that Corpulent means "large or bulky of body;portly;stout;fat" :DWhenever I think of NAV, I put balrog to it automatically
Although it should make drawing his armour interesting.
Live? It's called NECROthreat for a reason. It has already been interred into the halls of death. But I will get right on with the emergency CPR. Downloading save now.

Actually we need one more vote to enter Necrothreat II into the halls of death. Who shall be the brave forumite who rises Necrothreat to glory once more?
Huzzah!
By the way Apiks, Ever think of adding NAV to the hall of Necrothreat fame? I'm pretty sure he's survived the longest in either of the Necrothreat games.
So NAV was a woman all this time?Huzzah!
By the way Apiks, Ever think of adding NAV to the hall of Necrothreat fame? I'm pretty sure he's survived the longest in either of the Necrothreat games.
Problem with that is that NAV is a woman in IronTomato's savegame while NAV in Th4DwArfY1's savegame is a woman. I have no idea how that works so I assumed he died somewhere inbetween. We actually have no idea how long NAV has lived.
Huzzah!

I just downloaded IronTomato's save, it's definitely my NAV. Grand master brewer, adept marksdwarf, beardy tough male. The same one I named during my turn. It also says he's been there since spring 253, just over 6 years. 7 months longer than anyone else in the fort.I think that deserves a spot in it alone...

Hahahah. I'd have to agree on all those accounts. Very well.Huzzah!
*DADUMM*
Ages pass, people die, and they rise as the enemy. From near extinction to the fullest glory of Necrothreat II he has lived. A sage revered by many. A drunken forumite that can best any 10 forumites in a drinking game. A warrior of fierce renown with his crossbow and a lover of booze-making. A fearless person who despite death being all around him, would still stop to have a drink. They call him NAV, The Harbinger.
*DADUMM*
NAV has been initiated into the Hall of Necrothreat Fame for his achievements. Congratulations!
Nice!
On a unrelated note, progress on NAV the Drunken Git is delayed by the start of school. However, I should be able to sneak it in as a sketchbook assignment, if I am careful.

That's some smart thinking! Sounds like something I would do. I hope you succeed!
Hows it going Dwarfy1?
FluffytoastJ (The OP of Necrothreat) had a very prophetic avatar.
I'll post when I get a few months done. Irontomato will agree with me on the point that it's REALLY slow.*nods* aye.
Did we ever forumite FluffyToastJ?Assumption: deceased and reanimated
This is a good assumption.Did we ever forumite FluffyToastJ?Assumption: deceased and reanimated
Necrothreat is hell for dwarves... And there was a hell FOR necrothreat!This is a good assumption.Did we ever forumite FluffyToastJ?Assumption: deceased and reanimated
Also, only in Necrothreat would this be the standard assumption.
This wiki article menaces with spikes of boredom and moderation. It is layered with layers of blood, gore, and errors. It is the deadliest of it's kind.Those in favor?
I second that induction into Necrothreats Hall ofNefarityFame.
I counted through.
That's exactly 100 zombies, 1 living RPG Gamer, and a skunk.
And 4 of those zombies are the same zombie.

World gen exinction, back where they belonged? I have no idea how the high lord necrothreader showed up when he should've been dead at world gen. Ah well, goes to show how wacky the world of Necrothreat.
I am given to understand that the previous overseer was a fool, parading in pomp and ceremony, leaving the doors wide open for a spot of “spring cleaning”. Needless to say, the man was quite mad. Irontomato was his name, and his head was as thick as the fruit for which he was named.┐(・。・┐) ♪ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06GGDH_ugh8)
I did. But I don't know you're "alive" yet. At the time of this update, all I know is you're a zombie, but next update will have you coming back.Tought I, literally, appeared before you?
Think of it as the events in my updates has occurred while yo were fighting and storming Ur's tower. In the next update, the time when I Forumited you, you appear in front of me.Huzzah!
I see Apiks has been pulling off the role of "sage of Necrothreat" quite well, breezing through events like that, lol. But what can I say? Mining is my passion.
I literally paved over the candy. If he wants to dig, he's gonig to have to dig through the masterwork engravingsI see Apiks has been pulling off the role of "sage of Necrothreat" quite well, breezing through events like that, lol. But what can I say? Mining is my passion.
Just be careful with that pick when you're around adamantine. We'd like to have -some- preparations ready for our roomie downstairs.
We actually have plenty of the stuff. Highmax had a sweet tooth - we're still processing the raw candy.Pro tip:
So essentially leave it for some naive and hapless overseer later on, so they can unwittingly release the monsters from the deeps.We can then all panic and scream "WHY DID YOU DO THAT? YOUR ONLY HOPE NOW IS TO (put ineffective measures here)!"It was pave it off or kill apiks and the other miners by flooding the place with magma
You know it will happen. Along with terminal !!FUN!!
From now on, I'm imagining your dorf wearing a T-Shirt with The Joker in a Strait Jacket on it. :D
Sheesh. Highmax is 144 years old, and he still hit Apiks in the head that hard?
How come everyone else is such a badass, but my forumite dies within like a month due to bad luck? X(
If you look a little farthur back, I revived DwArfY quite simply :P
Nope, my turn is over. This task falls to the unfortunate sucker next in the list :P
Sheesh. Highmax is 144 years old, and he still hit Apiks in the head that hard?All my forumites are dead too, but I think a different vampire got Perrin? Maybe Sprin could do a blood drive and some kind of mad science. TBH the plot is so complex... I kinda like being dead :P

Looking at the turn list it should be Dorsidwarf's turn next.
Just read through this sea of golden words sprinkled with islands of sorrow known as Necrothreat II and I just want to say some things.
1.No, I am not to shy to comment that this fort is amazing
2. please Formite me as "Wasara" with the profession "Outsider".
3. Why is there a lack of atom smashers? They can't reanimate corpses when they've been crushed into oblivion.
4. You guys are awesome!
5. and finally, if your fine with it, can you add me to the turn list. (preferably when there isn't a frame stealing horde outside, I do most of my playing on my xLaptopx)
Thank you guys for keeping me entertained for the last week :D

Hahaha. I'm glad you liked our numerous exploits of pain and misery. Reason there ain't no atom smasher is because each overseer screws the next one so much that a single overseer has to spent his entire turn fixing the stuff the previous one did. That and some of the overseers are mere peasants (Like me for example. Yes aquifer, I'm looking at you.) and have no ambition to start such a project.
I'm hoping the frame issue will be fixed quite soon so hopefully everything will be fine. I'm happy you liked Necrothreat II. If you haven't, don't forget to read Necrothreat I as well. All stories must begin after all.
And as per the usual Necrothreat day, we live in hell, we die in hell and we are reborn in hell.
You haven't screwed anything up YET... Except my name >:(

Atom smashers? You have no idea what Ur sent to us. These beasts fight amongst themselves, and never actually path to the fortress unless all enemy undead are gone. Also, you may want to remind the next overseer to Forumite you: I'm not touching the save again.
Also, thank you for showing appreciation, lol. We at Necrothreat aim to entertain the masses. And occasionally submit them to Sprin. But we keep that out of the PR campaign :D

This is why we have animals, for bait!. Well, I never looked at the save to see if you guys have any, but you could still use potential vampires! Better then locking them in a room.

Another worderful chapter to the epic that is Necrothreat. One day we will break the thread zombie siege, one day.Ur lies slain, but thats only the tip of the iceberg; though the head is severed, the undead creature still lives. Ur's army will still fight on

Hm. Dunno if he's still alive...people don't last all that long. Then again, he's a leather worker. Might still be alive. Now I have to check :PI have a kid? :o
EDIT: Sorry, he appears to have died at some point. Highmax has a child, and so does Sulin, if you wanna be a child, and there're a number of adults available.
EDIT: Just Forumited TalonisWolf "Wolf Acolyte" and Wasara. Wasn't sure if Wasara wanted it, but you sure as hell got it!

Alright, place your bets on how my Forumite is going to perish in this infernal fortress:Im guessing either a dip in magma or combat
-Cave in -Food Poisoning -Misconstruction -Tantrum Spiral -Cats -Sparring Accident
-Combat -Vampire -Clowns -Fire -Minecarts
-Failed Mood/Put Down -Drowning -Dip in the Magma -An 'accident'
Winner gets a increase in their ego!
How much longer tell my turn? Wait where the hell have I been? Am I real? is the life I created real? what if its all just words on a screen... nah can't be.Judging by the turn list on the front page, looks like never, as you're under reserves. However, if you so wish, you may go in front of me on the turn list. I'm having lots of !!FUN!! playing masterwork dwarf fortress.

Oh, cool. That pink noseless dandruff dog my sister drew is terrorizing everyone. I'll have to tell her.
And Apiks survived going outside! Moral of the story: Always carry a pick.
The vampire was finally dealt with.
What exactly was the syndrome? Vampires can survive it but ordinary dwarves can't. We could potentially use that as some sort of inquisition tool. Someone might be a vampire? Send them into the dust chamber. If they die, they were pure and will be forgiven after death. If they survive they are a vampire and must be executed. It's like what they did with witches. Cruel and completely pointless.
Good update.
Huh. I've just realised that the amount I've written here could make a book in its own right. Damn, I need to publish the Necrothreat Book! Now that would be an eye opener for the masses :PI think you'd have the skill and poetic sense to write the atories of necrothreat. If it gets chronicled, you should write every post as you would but through each ones eyes. Necrothreat as a story would be an excellent read :P
Also, where's NAVs picture, Wolf! We'll set a furry, pink dog on you if you don't post it!
Dwarfy, if you write a Necrothreat book I will buy it.Likewise, and I'll tell it to my kids if I ever have any, as a bedtime story so they fear Ur instead of the boogeyman :P
Any news? And are there any good warriors left?
Is the Wolf ever going to finish my drawing?
I think the Yak should've been there, but I dunno if it still lived during that turn(warning, very big)Spoiler: full size (click to show/hide)
That looks darn awesome. Good job! Added to the OP! I do think that a bit more bodies or background would do it great good, but hey, you're the boss ;D.

*slow clap of appreciation*You sir, need to draw an image of that... And after that, draw an image of the bloody war in the old homes :P (ALL the requests! (and you can ignore them as such))
Well that was very intense. Well done, Th4DwArfY1. Well done. You make us proud, even if it means dooming the world.Wait a minute- Sprin with a MAGMA CANNON!?!? Everyone, run!!!
I'm guessing it's time for Sprin's turn. (yes, logistics)
I'll contact him and we'll see what we can do.

So when do we open hell?You touch my tomb, and I'll haunt your asses...
That's your job Sprin. It's the best way to top Th4DwArfY1.
I think we may actually have exhausted this one. You're right....let's let Necrothreat II die in peace, unlike Necrothreat I...
I say we Necro that thread NAV found and make Necrothreat III!
Let's face it; 101 pages is long enough, and Necrothreat II has serious lag problems. Of course, this is up to a vote/if Apiks wants it. Or, of course, if Sprin wants his turn first.
Edit: Forgot to mention, the next one could be done in the same time. As in, we just moved house for a bit...it could all be done in the same world, even. And Ur would be dead, and Armok would inevitably return in some shape or form.
Just a suggestion, but we could open the gates to hell AND use DFhack to force a necrothreader siege at the same time. How does that sound?
It would be better to prepare the tunnel to hell, wait for a siege, then mine out the last block.
More authentic that way.
Edit:
One more vote needed for Necrothreat II to be in the hall of legends.

How's it going Sprin?Well, a modded backlash for Ur's demise would be good. A race of mobile, undead severed heads?
We should have a modding spree for Teh LOLmod before starting Necrothreat III. Add lots of new horribly unbalanced content.
Bravo! Now, to the other suggestions! That's right, you're now a slave to Necrothreat. Get used to it. Besides, the dental is good!I live in good old 'Murica, so I'll have to wait until 21, which is a far way off. :-\
And that's funny, Sprin. When was your 18th? Mine was Wednesday the 5th. I am now legal to drink! Huzzah!
*Mutters something about not wanting to drink, but liking the idea that he can.
Really? 21? That's harsh. Britannia rules the waves and the teenager drinking! I have to say I couldn't care less for the drinking age, but in the United Kingdom at least, it should be raised a bit.Bravo! Now, to the other suggestions!

Also, I would like to make a request. Me being killed by a huge yak with a spear discarded nearby and an ashy, barren landscape, or the same landscape and Yak, except the yak is on fire and I am killing it. The one in which I kill it, I am undead.
I repeat, great drawing! I want one in my signature :P
Alternatively to the yak thing, you could do Apiks, Highmax and me. Me with a spear, Apiks with a pick and Highmax with a blazing sword. For fun you could add in hordes of zombies!

I believe these were next in line. I think I'll do the 'alternatively' bit because I have an interesting idea for it... but I'd like to see/hear a description of how Th4DwArfY1 and Apiks 'see' their characters before I start.
I see mine as having a flowing beard, craggy features and an expression bordering on weariness/sadness. Other than that, I never put much thought into it. Oh, and his clothes wouldn't be fully armoured like Highmax, but partly cloth and partly metal.I don't even think Highmax wore that much armor after my turn with the whole haxxor Threadromancer incident
And your pen! Do whatever you wish.
I'm honoured. I hope that it's up to par when finished...If it's better then my awful paint images, it's masterwork to me :P
I'm baaaack! :)S'allright, looks great as it is. Can't wait to see what else you draw.
Alright, here is what I got.

Unfortunately, it has been wrecked by [REDACTED], so I'll never get beyond what is here. Which means the background will never be complete, as well as the zombie horde.

Working on you now, as it happens. Despite it being almost 11:00 at night... Insomnia has its perks.Wow... Its only 10pm here! 8)
Time to sit back and watch the world(multiverse?) burn.It won't burn it will just cease to exist :P
Also, well bollocks...^What they all said^Well bollocks...Well bollocks...Well bollocks...Well bollocks...Well bollocks...
I came here looking for Necrothreat... and I see a lot of bollocks. Definitely not what I expected. :oWell, apparently a modding spree is starting before the third installment begins. I'm debating on writing another ending for Necrothreat, but I'm kind of wary; I got a lot of negative reviews when I showed the ending of the first one to some friends. They said it was too long amongst other things... And after that journey of Highmax, I'm gonna be honest, I may need a break for him and ponder for a bit. I mean, come on, the blighter is pretty much the least interesting hero of the three. Apiks is the original creator and is alternated between himself and his wife and is the most badass with his/her pickaxe, DwArfY is insane and is tortured by Armok, and all I did was journey places and act like a wannabe badass. No flaws at all; the Mary Sue of the group.
If you want, I could found it, I can practically guarantee something horrible will happen to him because I haven't been playing DF for a good while, let alone remember how this mod works.I was gonna keep it as apiks in my eyes, but you know who SHOULD be starting the necroing?
+1 for BFELIn all seriousness, he needs to simply necro the thread and Apiks will run it again as he always has. And I swear, BFEL needs to make a comeback just to screw everything up like the great and epic troll that he is. I swear, this guy is a living legend after seeing the stuff he puts you through mastacheese
Get your Forumite butts into high gear! Or Apiks will introduce you to his pick!
...skcollob llew
So when are we going to begin phase three? And who will be the founder?
EDIT:
Also I'm sigging this.Also, well bollocks...^What they all said^Well bollocks...Well bollocks...Well bollocks...Well bollocks...Well bollocks...
Oi, oi. Hold ya horses. There's a few things we need to do before Necrothreat III.I think our only problem is contacting BFEL. I haven't seen him in awhile.
1. Write a second perspective view of how the world ended, just like how it was with Necrothreat I and Highmax's ending.
2. Go on a modding binge for Teh LOLmod (you can start now!)
3. Finally to get BFEL to necro the target threat and for me to contact the creator to see if we can have his cooperation.
4. Write the start up story of Necrothreat III.
All of this won't take 3 days ya know, so if you wanna make it happen faster, mod more!

The sentient spambot that toady one the great did battle with inside the original necrothreat? How can you not remember!? It was a glorious day!It's name was memory, it was from Kazakhstan, and it was selling coats. I really wish I took a screenshot.

Anybody have the same idea as Nav and I? ;D
Edit: Considering that this fort will last only a few more months, we could pull of a Necrothreat III.
Will my reindeer cavalry make an appearance? And the mad doctor Sprin with his bone saws?
Dammit, someone teach me how to draw like Talonis! :(

Noted. I've actually never tried to draw reindeer, so that'd take a wee bit longer... but I like the extra !!CHALLENGE!!!Dammit, someone teach me how to draw like Talonis! :(
YouTube Mark Crilley, he's a notable influence. Try to do a practice doodle once a day, I tend to do it while eating lunch or when I've nothing else that needs to be done but laundry.
So, I was brainstorming a bit for teh lol mod and I was thing of adding weapons and bolts that make the creature it killed's corpse unressurectable or maybe a syndrome that comes with some dwarfs like tortured by armok or something similar. Well, that is if I get around to learning how to mod. Mostly just putting ideas out there.
Felt guilty about inadvertantly insulting Highmax's face twice now, so here is my apology:Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I used a digital filter in an attempt to make it look more like stone, something I haven't tried before... so, how is it?
I think there's some code in masterwork df I can examine for both ideas but I'm kinda stumped on what to make tortured by armok actually do. You guys have any ideas?

This a masterwork engraving of Necrothreat by Taloniswolf in 2014. On it bears the image of Highmax the Swordsman in graphite. Highmax is standing proud. On it is an image of Apiks the Father in graphite. Apiks is readying for battle. On it bears the image of Th3DwArfY1 the Slave of Armok in graphite. Th3DwArfY1 is acting as dwarves normally would in battle.
Esxcellent... No words. I do agree on the point on the blade though, it'd be tough to stab Ur with it that way, as brutal as it would be :P
:o
Uhhh... I think we should take that as the ending...
All in favor?
Yes, but the general consensus is the poem is now the canon ending. Cause it is that awesome, especially if you do it to the tune of 'Over The Misty Mountain Cold" form 'The Hobbit'.Well, Sprin was kind of ripped apart when he ended his turn also...

Would reactions work? I'm not very well versed in them but I do think they exist in DF that could cause it to work. Dammit, we need Talvieno!

There isn't a way that I know of to create bolts or weapons that permakill zombies. It's potentially possible to create a reaction that releases a dust or vapor that, when inhaled, causes a creature to become unresurrectable, HOWEVER... This would only work while the creature is still alive. Zombies don't breathe.
Not sure what you mean by "Tortured by Armok", though.
If you think about it, most of the zombie parts (hands, heads, chests, skin, hair, feathers, etc.) don't have a full respiratory system. They'd all suffocate pretty quickly if you made it so they could breathe.Heh, just saw this.

You guys did fix laptops, didn't you? I'd hate to not have any ammo for them...
Also, traps can be pretty effective, particularly magma-based ones... although I suppose not against Haxxor, the way they're trapavoid. I also seem to remember flying fireball-casting creatures... Honestly, this mod is more of a challenge to defeat than the Spearbreakers mod. lol (Maybe not Spearbreakers II, though... And definitely not the God of War mod I've been working on every now and then (that thing's crazy hard).)
Oh, and don't forget minecart traps. A nested array of rapidly-moving minecarts will totally wipe out almost EVERYTHING that moves through, even in a major siege... provided you build it correctly, and you make sure that you autoforbid EVERYTHING, both in there, and outside the fortress. Otherwise you'll hit your own dwarves.
Not sure what you mean by "Tortured by Armok", though.I'm kinda asking for ideas on that actually. I want to add a syndrome or caste to the formites, make them a bit more then dwarfs by a different name.
I think songs have more chorus and are a tad shorter. But as always, it depends on the song.
All we need now is to have somebody make a song with those lyrics and we're in the musical business.
Edit: I am sorry to Dorsidwarf and Wasara for not getting a chance at this fort. As we can see, Sprin managed to kill it off and we're now preparing for Necrothreat III. If you decide to join us there, I might give priority (Logistics!) to you.
I think songs have more chorus and are a tad shorter. But as always, it depends on the song.No sweat! It's gonna be much more fun to play a fort in an earlier year, especially now that there a lava cannon of death at this forts disposal.

But more a mix of story and poetry, combining the two things I like most. I wouldn't write it for the money, more for the joy of writing it, but it's nice to know I'll have at least one customer!
But still your really good at this Th4DwArfY1, I wouldn't be surprised if one day I heard about your sexcellent works maybe a book of youradorableamazing poetry. I'd buy it. 8)
Dwarfy, if you write a Necrothreat book I will buy it.Likewise, and I'll tell it to my kids if I ever have any, as a bedtime story so they fear Ur instead of the boogeyman :P

I am currently looking for the piece I was working on for you people... please be patient.
And that fits like that sock lying out in the middle of that mysteriously ominous goo.
The new update has pulping so zombies can't be revived indefinitely. That means the mod might actually be easier and more balanced in Necrothreat III :o
Necrothreat II ended in the howls of demons, the moans of undead and the burning brand of magma cleansing everything with righteous fire.
I fail to see how that is not successful :P
We still need BFEL to Necro the next thread when the mod is ready. Otherwise, he's a hero in our halls :P

Ah, the girl's name is Kurumi. It's from the anime "Date a Live".
Now that we know your circumstances I think they'll wait an extra bit for the piece of art.
P.S. The plural of anime is anime.
I'll do reindeer next, then perhaps the hinted at pillaging of the North Pole.
Highmax, BFEL, Mastahcheese, Jenny, in a barren wasteland, all riding upon the noble backs of reindeer.+1
Pedobears sound awesome. Could you add "molest" as an attack, or something similar, just for that authentic pedobear feel?Yeah, I can, but it'll end up like Th4DwArfY1 described it. :P
Tentacles sound good. Slime, too? I dunno what's possible.Yeah, I can do slime. Does slendy actually have slime, though? I haven't kept up with him very well lately, but I don't remember anything about slime...
Half the things in the mod don't work or are seen very rarely. I for one have rarely seen Slendy. If you manage to think of a way to keep those zombies down by killing them in a certain way (that doesn't involve trapping them in cages which doesn't kill them or using magma), be my guest!Yeah, I noticed a few oddities... like how all the creatures have HELM tokens for fedoras - which wouldn't do anything, as that's an entity token. :P Slendy may not have an appropriate biome. I remember slendy being a temperate_forest creature in the original fiction - perhaps in [evil] places - so I can throw that in.
Or goblin snatchers.If I knew how to do that, I would. :P But that's not as simple as just editing raws.
"Pedobear! Protect the children!"
I think for trollers, gamerz and haxxors should have an interchangeable language similar to l33tspeakOh YES. I LOVE this idea. Okay, I'm going to go rewrite a few bits of my language generator to make that happen. :) 1 = L, 0 = O, 3 = E, 4 = A, 7 = T... am I missing anything?
Try keeping the 3=E, the 1=l and a=4:P It's LangCreate, a language generator I made. link to thread. (http://goo.gl/H8rPx)
ABATE:loboz
Wait, how did A become l, and e become z?
If the idea was to use leetspeak, why not just keep English as the language, so Abate would be 4b4t3. Knowing that a Gamer will speak leet, you'll be able to suss what he means, and it still looks foreign :P
Yeah, can't help but agree with you there. My original idea wasn't to use leetspeak, tho - Highmax suggested it and I wanted to try it out to see what it looked like.If the idea was to use leetspeak, why not just keep English as the language, so Abate would be 4b4t3.

I tried a few worlds, but the Forumites seem to be called Dwarves each time... :/It calls them dwarves? o.O Maybe I put it in wrong? Let me recheck.
Maybe I didn't put it in right?
Could you run a few tests and check whether the High Lord Threadromancers spawn in the world? I tried fixing them before but they just die off at world gen. I tried fixing it but I find myself unable to do so.That's probably due to these lines:
Edit: I just noticed some of your notes. Some of the things in the mod are from the Mod Page (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=132175.0), like the spooklight.

[BIOME_SUPPORT:ALL_MAIN:1]
[BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_RIVER:1]
Which I would've fixed, but didn't think to check. The numbers here aren't weights, they're 1-10 values. Having both be set to 1 means they're not going to expand much, if ever.
That's fine and dandy, but either I'm blind or those lines don't exist. I was thinking that 3 would be a fine number, considering you never see them right now.No, we saw one. It was the corpse of one, but I still saw it. Still had his power if I recall. Does that make him a High Lord Lich Threadromancer?
Edit: Also, forgetting about the minor details like these, what else could we add to the mod? Something for Necrothreat especially maybe?

It was the corpse of one, but I still saw it. Still had his power if I recall. Does that make him a High Lord Lich Threadromancer?

I guess 2 would be fine in that case.Personally, I would strongly suggest running some worldgen tests. Fastest way to do it is make sure you can play the civ in adventure mode, then gen a world. If there aren't any surviving high lord threadromancer/necrothreader civs in the adv mode list, then you dun goofed and need to set the number a little higher. :P
Could you do that then? I can't find the lines where they're supposed to be (do I have to add them?), otherwise I'd do it myself.You're looking in the entity_lolmod file, right? :P
replace everything in entity_lolmod.txt with this: http://pastebin.com/X2ExYYna
I had to pastebin it - I exceeded the max character count while trying to post it here. :P
Also, in creature_lolmod.txt, I noticed haxxors have [CAN_SPEAK] without also having [CAN_LEARN]. That'll basically make them dumb animals. Was this intentional?
Will there be a new thread for the new version?
