A further modification to this idea might be that at the end of the 1 week or 5 in-game years, that the fortress must be abandoned before saving the game. The next person then will have to start out "recovering" the site, and will get to rediscover all of the stuff that happened there in the last turn with all of the population marrying, having kids and so on during that two (in game) week between Overseers.You mean 'retired', right? Abandon and all you'll leave the next overseer is a scattering of socks and one lost merchant.
Might be interested in this further down the line. How about using the same embark, same starting seven (basically embark then copy the save), same named dwarves for both forts? Not only would it be interesting to compare the differences in the fortress layouts, but also the fate of the named dwarves. Obviously this will conflict with Shonai_Dweller's suggestion, but its another approach to consider.That is exactly what I meant. Same world, same embark. I would embark once, save, than copy the world folder and rename it.
This has happened a few times in Breadbowl, and I can confirm it's interesting to see a dwarf alive and well in one copy of the game despite having watched them have their head caved in by an Ettin in the parallel one.I think this is a good idea. A bit more in common would be nice for comparison's sake.
I would recommend starting the divergence after the first year, once a very basic fortress has made and the first two migrations have arrived. Otherwise the only thing the parallel worlds will have in common will be the starting 7 and the map.
Good thinking. Splitting the Fortresses after 1 or 2 years would allow for a better comparison down the line, plus whatever amusing reason that Overseer comes up with for a parallel universe.This has happened a few times in Breadbowl, and I can confirm it's interesting to see a dwarf alive and well in one copy of the game despite having watched them have their head caved in by an Ettin in the parallel one.I think this is a good idea.

It'll take awhile for the new version to be stable enough to support a succession game. Maybe it'd be worth it to give it a try if there's enough interest?Maybe. Invaders are by no means the only source of !FUN!. However, if you are experienced enough to not die to self-made disasters, there usually isn't enough other pressure to create suitable entertainment (at least in my opinion).
6. No save scumming unless it is to circumvent bugs/glitches. If any other reason to save-scum occurs, notify me. If a fortress falls, than the remaining players will be assigned to the other fortress.I had a thought about this- how about if a fortress falls, we diverge again with the surviving fort and add the remaining players on there?
I suppose that could work. My turn just hit summer. It should be finished by tomorrow.6. No save scumming unless it is to circumvent bugs/glitches. If any other reason to save-scum occurs, notify me.

I have looked at this and like it. I will take a turn. I understand this will probably be after the split.Everybody is after the split. I am the only one before the split.
I'll take a turn as well. Can we get dwarves before the split or are we limited to one universe to live in?
Sounds like fun! Please do put me down for a turn.Both of you are in.
I feel like recklessly committing to stuff in the indeterminate future, so I'd like to sign up for a turn.I think a single thread is probably better, since it keeps the forts linked chronologically and thematically.
Instead of spoiler-ing everything, have you considered two separate forum threads for the two different fort-forks?
I feel like recklessly committing to stuff in the indeterminate future, so I'd like to sign up for a turn.
What the heck, sign me up!Both of you in. I am now assigning players to the different fortresses. Take a look at your fortress and only look at reports from that one until you have played your turn.
Put me up for a turn.Done. You are on Fortress 2
Save received.Yes I was using Phoebes. I totally forgot about it. Do you want me to make a new save with default textures or can you fix it on your own?
Origamiscienceguy, were you using a texture pack? I'm getting some weird graphical issues.
I fixed it, converting to ASCII made everything all better.Okay, sorry about that.

@Elagn: I've never messed with world seeds before. If you know where to find it in the save game data, then you can find the embark location from the pictures in the OP.It's quite simple. Copy the save, retire the duplicate fort, open up Legends, and press 'p.' The world-gen-info will be exported to a .txt file in the parent folder, named "regionX-world_gen_param."
This seems interesting. I'll take a turn, if that's alright. I would also request a dwarfing on whichever fortress I will be overseeing.Okay, Fortress 1

It's more using (N) notes. (p) place a note where the cursor is. (n) to name the note. (t) to add text description for that note.
And then, the bridge should also add a note corresponding to the lever that controls it.

By the way, the idea was for my (accidentally female) Dorf-persona to be an outcast, in reparation for my crimes against Dwarfkind. If her counterpart in Fort 1 could reflect that, I'd moughty appreciate it.

Although the saves are compatible, updating gets us very little except for bugs, since a lot of the new features require a new world. There's also a greater chance of the save being corrupted.
