Prologue
So about a week ago, I asked a request in the forums to make a giant mod pack so I continue running GuardedPulleys when it was about to head to its second year of settlement.
My idea for my previous run is to survive ten years in a settlement with the starting five mods and for every in-game year, I add in more mods to further exceed the layers of whatever craziness would ensue until it hits the maximum number. For my fortress, the maximum would be twenty.
After my goal would be reached, I would then retire the fortress and create a new world with the said number of mods to possibly make a succession game out of it.
But as I load in the fortress that I’ve been playing for a while, I had problems doing so. As a result, I decided to screw it and decided to go forth with this whole succession game with a buttload of mods using the current version of DF, like the other modded hell run that’s been going on for a while but a bit different.
Thus, this is where Eipnizungila, The Destined Dimensions would come to fruition.
What Mods did you use to make this ‘Destined’ world?
In alphabetical order:
• Assorted Creatures Pack (ZM5)
• Dark Ages III
• Diablo Mod
• Dwarvemon 1.51 (with Mystery Dungeon)
• Jawa Fortress
• My Little Fortress II
• Miscellaneous Video Game Civs
• Teh Lol mod
• Primal
• Sparking!!! DBZ Mod
• Spellcrafts Mod
• ZM5’s Modpack
• Zombies Ate My Dwarves
What are the Victory Conditions that you want, now with GuardedPulleys went kaput?
The three things that I want this fort to succeed is either:
1. Running the fort for fifty years, with every five years of succession being played by ten overseers.
2. Building a dwarven tower of babel
3. The fun part, driving the place into madness when established to evil territories
However, just in case if anyone would like to become potential pest exterminators, I would like someone to drive the goblin population to extinction.

Why you play with so many bad mods?
-
This'll be fun to watch.
Also, come on, DerMeister. Just because you don't personally like a mod doesn't make it bad.
-
I have a poll up and running if any of you peeps wanted to prefer any goals.
Edit: does anyone would like to see me establish a fort in an evil land?
-
An evil land might be fun, but I think we should mostly try to make sure we have the maximum number of hostile neighbors.
-
Any advices? I'm at the choose fortress screen now.
-
Wherever is good, I'd like to see stormtroopers if possible, please.
-
There are only clone troopers in this world I think? This world has also Namekians and Murlocs
I have 69 active civilizations and 11 dead ones. (Edit: https://imgur.com/a/7w2rsYp (https://imgur.com/a/7w2rsYp))
-
Whatever you think would be best, hopefully more people will chime in soon.
-
I think the mountains on the bottom left would be the best bet if any.

Thank you for all the information. Let's do the bottom left, like you said.
-
DOH! The game crashes as I was establishing.
-
Why you play with so many bad mods?
Because it's funny. :))
And now I am going to ask that you read this. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=167813.0)
-
I'm going to try again tomorrow to see if the creator of my requested mod pack responds to my error log. Til' then I'll create a small world for testing ground purposes for now.
-
PTW
-
Update: simple problem fixed. let there be blood.
-
Oh, did you already take care of the problem? I was about to start on that, do you still need help?
-
maybe. I've just removed the duplicates that crashed the embarking of a settlement.
-
Alright, let me know if you can't embark.

Year 1: Rise of the Brimrulers (Trying it again)
(https://i.imgur.com/f9jSmAx.png)
The Dwarven emperor has selected a few lucky forumites to find a suitable place to build his ambitious project while settling for a new home at the same time.
As they embark into the mountains, some may wonder how could an idea at this scale would end up being, ‘Is it possible that someone would give a damn about making a major milestone in dwarven-kind and the rest of this stinkin’ planet?’ one would say.
Others would question the emperor’s mentality and the possibilities that he might lose his mind and that the plan wouldn't happen at all. Still, the speculations coming from the seven forumites that arrived at this site were mixed, to say the least.
The wagon stopped at this position there where our story (and my five in-game year run) begins here, welcome to Eweethaalthwicup, “Brimrulers” of the Destined Dimensions.

-
What pets have we got?
-
No pets sadly, I'll begin the fort tomorrow. I can't see the animals menu at the preparing carefully menu.
-
I'm getting ready to strike the earth and begin building the settlement before we go forward with the tower thingy. I'll remind you the fortress' layout when it's ready.
-
Okay, so I have a little problem my peeps. My forumites ain't doing shit, I planned out the lay-outs to dig, I enabled autochop and what did I get? NOTHING! Absolutely nothing at all. (HELP)
-
While everyone is doing nothing at all, I got migrants and I haven't even built a trade post yet.
-
Okay, so turns out, I ain't assigned to fourmites, instead I am assigned to qwilfishes. This is going to be intresting.
-
Do we have any pets now?
-
I'm pretty sure that I ain't assigned to the fourmites. Should I start all over again and play as a different civ or fourmites?
-
Maybe I could play as miis would be best, right?
-
That appeals to mii.
-
Question, is it possible to change the main playable civ in fortress mode? Also new poll: https://www.strawpoll.me/18880025
-
I need five or more votes of one civilization of choice before I would close the poll. Good luck. (Got three tied so far.)
-
This should be interesting - pretty curious how things will turn out.
-
I just want to say, I didn't design the Jedi or clone troopers to be played in Fortress mode. We'll need additional modding to make that work, and there may be unexpected consequences.
-
If fourmites win, then I wanted to know how to change the main playable civ from Qwilfish to Fourmites in a savegame.
-
Orks, Jedi and Storm troopers are tied, Fourmites get two votes.
-
Okay, if nobody else has voted in the polls before 12:00pm est, I'll be closing the poll immediately.

Alright, here we go. The true honest to god start of a fortress, with dwarven fourmites this time. No need to rewrite this introduction until this god-danged game sings. LET THERE BE BLOOD, welcome to the land of the "Foggymachines". DEUS VULT!

So, the fortress is off to an interesting start while the two miners are carving out the foundations I gave them.

He's been wounded. That's very annoying.
-
I have yet to build a hospital if I had to fix him. The Patience tingles.
-
Fort just started and interesting things are already happening.

Holy crap, shit has hit the fan as now we got an enraged animal problem. So far I got a savage beast and two mankeys being pissy to the settlers with one getting beaten down by a farmer.
(https://i.imgur.com/elqwHPH.png)
Update: The beast has now calmed down, the monkeys still pissed off. And now they're punching the hens, I shall end it's misery in just a few minutes.
Update 2: It is done https://streamable.com/0wasi (https://streamable.com/0wasi)
Update 3: 2nd Round of a huntsdwarf against enraged mankeys has rung.
-

-
One of my hens were killed in the hands a mankey. Here is the animals so far.
(https://i.imgur.com/RCULG7h.png)
Update: Now a mason and carpenter have joined in the ring. This ain't no clean up job anymore, it's now an all-out meat fest.
(https://i.imgur.com/UdqUy4n.png)
Update 2: The mason has been injured from the ongoing incident in progress. The mankeys are now dead for real this time.

So, the merchants came in to say hi. No news from the outside world, Forgot to build a trade post to unload it so they bypassed it til next year.
-
Free loots from someone who died trying to kill a scatterbug. RIP, he is now salvaged.

Update: Here are the merchant stooges trying to clean up the mess they made. Their hammermite is chasing the Ambipom.

I'll promise to show you the layout as soon as it was finished. Patience.
-
Huzzah! I got migrants.
-
The fortress is almost done for showing, the hospital is in the progress of assembly and adding more bedrooms for the migrants.

Year 1 in Review: The Rough Rising of the FoggyMachines“We arrived in the Future Hills, hoping the best that we would at least have a fine-ass start of what future opportunities lie in that hill, alas we were thinking about that the wrong way. Within that year alone we had two causalities of injury from the rampaging monkeys along with losing a rooster in the process.
As we finish up our new home, things were starting to look uncertain for the ambitions of the emperor’s tower. Their lives might be on the line and nature isn’t even cooperating to our dwarven brethren’s.
It feels odd that you’ve first start out wondering what optismisim would be like in fifty years' time, thinking about the curious wonders that’ll be passed for generations to come, only to realize about the outcome you’re about to take.
Think of this idea like a giant complicated maze of dominoes and the only endgame here is to guess which two paths would you like to knock down to get things over with.
(Note: I know that sounds stupid, but that’s how it rolls)
I’m starting to question if their speculations about our emperor going to the dogs are starting to become real. What will he do with us next, are we going to dance around willy-nilly around this dang fort ‘til he says go?
Last time we checked on him before embarking on The Future Hills is that he was rambling mad about the next ‘evolutionary’ step in this planet about the possibilities of merging one’s conscious to another because of a fever dream from days back.
He told me that he was in a city that looked very alien and futuristic to him, even the cars and gadgets were far advanced to our knowledge as he described it, then there was a purple humanoid-like creature with the weirdest of headgear announcing a “cure” to the surrounding civilians along with their pets.
Needless to say, the scene that he witnessed in that dream wasn’t a pretty sight in all honesty.
However, what’s all-important is that we’ll be expecting to see a message from him about the plan to build his wonder of the world around a year after our establishment. I don’t see any shady dealings or whatever sudden snags that we’ll end up having, but I’ll buy it for now.
But still, the possibilities of him going insane and that the plan will fail might happen someday or maybe not depends on whatever you’re talking to. What I need now is to see what happens in our story and how would we handle our problems now.
The Speculations are still up to grabs and will continue to do so until a possible solution pops up.” – From the pages of the Foggymachine Chronicle, Urdim Asteshshetb’th and his successors and descents

Year 2: The Emperor's Bequest, As the times start turning
After a rough start from building their new home for a year, the forumites at FoggyMachines waited for the emperor’s letter to arrive on the anniversary of its founding.
When it arrives, work would eventually begin on his magnum opus, the world’s first grand wonder: The Tower of Babel. A symbol of the changing times, a celebration of knowledge between the earth and skies, hoping to bridge between the mortal world and the heavens of Armok, where the gods and dead thrive.
With this concept that the emperor had made, he hopes to mark a milestone in dwarven-kind to be the first civilization to build a landmark. Yet the raising concerns and doubt where swarming over the settlers after the mankey attack that had left two injured and later died of dehydration because of the arrival of winter.
As the new year had come, the site founder had written back to their ruler, promising that for the settlement’s second year, they’ll expect to continue building a flowing community, no matter how hard or risk-taking it could get from mother nature.
“…I’ve had enough monkey business for a whole year,” Urdim Asteshshetb’th wrote, “I wouldn't expect troubles from them or anything that nature would bring harm to this ambition after a series of monkey-related incidents.”
Still, the poplace would continue to wonder what would the emperor do with his grand wonder that he’s holding for some time. Is he still going through with the plan or not?
The questions remained flowing through The Future Hills, and the rest of the cities.

Starting out the right is the arrival of pokemon caravans, hope the best that I would sell off a couple of bolts and maybe some jewelry if I set up a workshop or somethin'. (Update: So... A valkyre just shot a bolt on the cart and just nopes out, okay then...)

Year 2, Part 2: The Letter Arrives, Babel BeginsAfter such bickering of whenever or not that the project would ever go through, near the end of the third month of 126, around the same time that the settlement had turned one, they manage to get the message from the emperor.
Received through a horse delivery as guarded by two dwarves in silver and gold armour with its messager riding it, the message goes as followed:
“The Emperor is imperessed of how you managed to survive the first year,” it wrote, “although he felt sorry about the incident that cost the lives of two of the original seven founding dwarves.”
“Through this news that you’ve been waiting for some time now, we had finalized the blueprints of the tower of babel. Starting first thing next month, your community would expect to begin construction on the towering library on top of surviving another year of surviving through the hills.
Although, it will also mark as a warning for those who failed to trade their respected neighbors. Give them nothing from you and your fort will be forced to be emptied by the behest of the emperor’s royals group, as it was against the rules of conduct.”
When Urdim read this message, he was both excited and concerned about the whole ordeal, in his spare time both before and after the delivery, he sat down on his little chair that his father gave him as a parting gift and wondered what to do with the fort now that that it was bult and functioned properly despite the rough start in its beginnings.
How do I have to continue impressing the emperor with the rules in place? I’ve just got here and settled with this place, what would I do now is all that I wonder?
