You can still participate in the challenge.
Registration is up until 17:00 GMT.
The first challenger is drawn today at 18:00 life on stream. I'll also present the embark site and the setup then.

We are going to play 43.03.

This embark is tough! What I found is a real nightmare of a site!
Let's see who can make it.

[Sanctume]

Need some hints to make the work day be productive.
Terrifying, Haunted, Sinister?
Glacier, Tundra, Wasteland?
Foul weather, Husking Fog, Thralls?
At War with Goblins?
6 Tower Neighbors?
7 layer Aquifer?
1-pick, 1-axe challenge?

The challenger is Gwolfski!

You can read the details in the opening post.
You can even get the saves to try for yourself there.

I will open a poll in the forums when his challenge starts. You can support him there a little. Ill tell you about that soon.

If he wins, the second prize(a surprise steam key) is going to a random viewer that supported him there.

If he fails, he gets the second prize and the challenge stays the same for the next challenger. So you can actually prepare.

ok! Doing it! 43.03?

[Waistcoats]

I hate to say it, but I'm going off to visit family on the 22nd to the 25th, so I will be unable to participate if drawn on those dates. If possible, could my name be removed from any draws between the 22nd and the 25th?

Yup that's it. Also sent you a pm with some info.

Don't worry, we'll do another enlisting and draw when and if we draw again.
You didn't enlist for life.

Wow, that's awesome! The fps shouldn't matter to much.
I'll start your challenge on monday 10:00 GMT.

I'm excited how it will work out.

[Gwolfski]

I basically used the trap corridor technique, with a minecart grinder thrown in forthe fun.

[bliantfive]

We just started the challenge.

This fort is insane! How did he do that?

You can read up the setup we gave in the opening post.

What we got back is a highly efficient tool to beat the challenge.
Damnit! He even just used one year to do it!
In this year he build magma smelters, killed the necromancer of the tower(that walked right into the map) and broke hell just for fun!

There's one flaw though: no booze, all of his dwarfs are sober.

I gave them repeat orders to brew.

I gave them repeat orders to brew.

There might be something off since there is no booze in the save and no repeat order i could see.
Ignore that, found it. You just have no plants yet and the booze inst recorded by the bookkeeper.

Some questions I'm really interested in:

Was it intentional that you only took 1 year instead of 2? (do we have the right save or just a backup maybe? XD)
Did you go for the serated disks right away and bought the first caravan?
Did the necromancer just walk into the map like this?
What did you think when you saw all that cats and cavies?
Where is the damn office? I can't find it.
