Hey guys! Since the last community fort I ran had to be abandoned, I decided to make a new one. I have a bunch of ideas, though, so I want to see what people want!
Pick your favorite fort concept from above, and in about a week, I'll start playing it. If you want to be one of the Original Seven, ask here and ye shall receive!
-
Shark pit!
Gar, mechanic.
-
Fort Paladin.
Winterdirge, male hammerdwarf/mason.
-
McDonald's. Make a large pair of golden arches over a large red-roofed building, containing the trade depot, dining rooms, food stockpiles, and as much of the food industry as you can. Most of the fort should live in buildings built aboveground, or their unconnected basements. A separate building leads into the mines, and possibly another building would lead to a path to the caverns. Walls are to be minimal, and bridges used as removable walls should not be used. The basic idea is to have a fortress that works as a restaurant for the world.
Edit: I'll take Urist McDonald, a cook/butcher/possibly other farming jobs who likes ducks and will not slaughter any kind of bird. (Eggs are perfectly O.K.)
-
You may not have noticed, but my username is Urist McDonald! I'll still dwarf you as such, though.
Oh no, a three-way tie! Who will win?!
-
Sadly, I made it a four-way tie.
DORF ME AS ONE OF OG 7 :P
-
Sharks! Frickin laser beams optional.
Lunaire, brewer and/or cook. Artistic and melodramatically depressed, if possible.
-
PALADIN!!!
-
Back to three way.... This race is neck in neck!
I'm itching to start, so first category to pass 5 votes AND beat the next one by three wins!
-
Dorf me as one of the starting seven. Manager or bookkeeper(rather that than manager) if you make one of those in the starting ones, otherwise the broker.
-
Evil Layer is leading the vote! Will my next fort house mustache-twirling dwarves?
-
I just realized that if I combine Volcano and Evil Lair, I would have enough votes to make a decision. So, Evil Lair on a Beachside Volcano it is!
-
Will it be in this thread?
Either way, dorf me as such please:
Name: Igor
Skills: Engineer, trap making, brewing, spear usage
Personality: scheming, without vanity
Please have him set up all the traps of the place.

YEAH!!! And magma crabs/men/imps instead of sharks!

So, here's the thing: I found two nice sites for a seaside volcano. Both have problems, however.
One is on an island, which means no ambushes or traders. Which means much less !!FUN!!.
The other is on a peninsula with Orcs, Goblins, Dark Elves, Normal Elves, and Human neighbors. But, it's on a lake, not an ocean... Which means no sharks.
What do you guys say?
-
island. FB's will be enough fun, and then eventually the demons.
-
But, what good is being an Evil Genius if I can't make elaborate deathtraps for goblins? :(
Here's a question: Would embarking in a Saltwater Marsh with a volcano be enough? I'll have crocs instead of sharks, but other than that, should be Fun... right?
-

You can weaponize the FBs?
It's your choice really, I'll support ya no matter what you choose.

Crocs are ok. They are even more ok than sharks, 'cause they can get out of water and wander on the earth.

I've had a few setbacks. One world keeps on crashing; the BEAUTIFUL Tropical Jungle volcano in a lake is underwater, meaning it continuously gets flooded, solidifies, collapses, and repeats. I found a nice embark though, has shallow and deep metals, flux, a volcano, tropical saltwater marsh, and jungle. Seems perfect; I'll try there.
-
I've embarked on a jungle mountain volcano, where I shall build my Fort of Evil. Real first post will be up tomorrow!
-
I would love to be dorfed. I'd also be up for a turn at it also.
-
Dorf me as a soapmaker/milker named Stutthof. :)
-
Stout, this is community. Not sucession.
Dorf! 'anderz', axedorf, militia captain.
-
Count me in. Narc, Miner. Pack me the best pick you can afford so I can eventually use my mining skill in combat. steel picks cut through armor like butter.
