Title: Un petit village gaulois ...
Post by: Swompy Time on May 23, 2018, 12:40:29 pm
Hey !

Sorry for my english. I try to be better, so, for the moment, it's not the best.

Once upon a time, 50 years before Jesus Christ, all of the Gaule is occupied. All ? No, because a little gaulish town resist against invaders !

It's a play with differents rules :
- make a true gaulish town (with wood walls and wood houses)
- make cheese (because ... french, I guess)
- striking everybody, because gaulish guy like fight

Ambiance ...

It's a story of a dwarf, who can run and travel far !
In his fabulous epic, we follow, a beer in hand !

We are the dwarves under the mountain!
We dig the day, we drink at night.
And we does not like guys from the surface!

One day, my ancestor Gurdil has been sent for digging in the forest,
There was supposedly plenty of mythril.
Where it was precisely, nobody knows!
Gurdil built his cabin at the edge of a bushy wood,
populated by wooden elves!
People who eat greenery ...
Obviously, it does not make good neighbors!

We are the dwarves under the mountain!
We dig the day, we drink at night.
And we does not like guys from the surface!

And no ... go for the play !
For the beginning party I didn't sent nothing for the skill. My Leader One take the surname of Gurdil, father of all dwarves.
I take a lot of seeds, because I need to have many farms : I need to make alcool. I prefer wine, but beet is a good starting plot.
After that, I take a lot of bunnies. For food and meat. It's a easy way for having good food. 15 males, 15 females.
For the end, I take a cow and a bull, for making bull-warbeast, and a lot a cheese.

I plane to fight with everybody, like merchants. It's a safe for having war (yes ?) and good stuff (... no ? Why ?).

For the first summer, I build a "big" wood house, with two carpentory stands, the fishery, a dorminatory and meeting room.
I need to make more bedroom for the first dwarf.

I make wooden weapons ... Dawn will be red !

Is this a succession game, or the story of a fortress you're running?

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celts):
Quote
The Romans knew the Celts then living in what became present-day France as Gauls.

My bad, I assumed the french celts were pretty much limited to brittany and a bit in the north of spain. Maybe I have not learnt very well my history lessons, but french people do not see themselves as celts, like the irish or the britanny people do

The cekts were the ancestors of most of norhtern Europe. Some of them went north and became vikings, many stayed in France and became French, and a large number decided to see what was over the sea, and populated the British isles. The languages Welsh, Scots Gallic, old Irish, Proto-English, and French are all related, since they were just some similar tribes that split up. Modern English, however, is more German. Bloody Germans... Eating sausages... Drinking beer... Living near huge castles... Corrupting the English...
I forgot where I was going with all that.
I didn't know that the French were like that, though. It's probably the fact that mainland Europe evolved differently, but the link is there.

It's a solo game, a solo party  ;D

but ...
At the end of my year, I can sent the save for continuing the game if you want,
for a celtic-gaulish rulership of a Asterix's fortress.
But no bretons or chocolatine's guy. We need purity ^^.

Seriously ^^ :

The summer is near to the end. I have finished my merchant's trap stand.
Spears, spears and spears, shields and shields and shields. Because true men fight nude.

And mine brewlingspot work ! For this industry, it's a first time for me !

"... resiste encore et toujours à l'envahisseur."
:D

May I suggest other rules for style points ?

- You may only eat boars.
- You may eat fish as well, but you should let the fish rot. Your dwarves prefer boars.
- Have your shortest dwarf and your fattest dwarves in militia. They must be your strongest warriors. Fat dwarf wrestles, tiny one uses sword.
- You must have a  brewer druid to make some booze magic potion. Only him knows the secret to make it.
- The potion should be used sparingly. Only when goblins Romans attack, to enhance you warriors habbilities.
- The fat dwarf from before cannot drink any potion !
- Assign a dog to the fat dwarf.
- Have only one bard playing music and singing songs. But don't let him become to skilled. Find ways to punish him when he starts performing.
- Eventually, DFHack a little to make the fat dwarf always hungry.
- ...


Keep us updated with how it goes

Asterix Regirtir, Hero --------------------------------> militia commander "1"
Obelix Mistêmstukon, Bi- Great stoneworker ------> mine miner and mine squad commander "2"
Napoléon Larzasit, Prophetic winner
Charlemagne Eralshadmal, Yggrasil Thrower ------> mine woodcutter ^^
De Gaulle Bomrekesdor, OSS's god
OSS 117 Kakdallistast, Lovely Spy

So basically, Dwarf Fortress Asterix.

You'll still have to mine, but you can put your mine entrance in the village walls. Emphasize unarmed combat.

A big group of merchants comme in my town. I want test the valour of my brave gaulish civilisation. I think they were spy from Babaorum or Petitbonhomme. I try to attack a lonely swordwarf but ...

... to be honnest, it was a mess. This lone wolf have killing free 10 dwarves. I have only two survivors : the first is Cétautomatix, but he near-dead. Without left leg, he cannot go to take a drink. The second is Didier Super, now Ken the Survivor, the son of Asterix. Sorry. I have a lot of food. I wait migrant. Names of deads are in yours memory for ever !

The good new ? I have a lot of food and dink for a lonely child. I can wait one year easely. The bad ? I have no dwarf for making coffin. If something don't turn well, I think make a ghost burster for purifing my fortress ...

Oh, migrants coming. I have 9 citizen now. Cétautomatix, the New Leader, have a artificial wooden leg. His clothes are full of Obelix's blood. He make a new law : spears and shields for all dwarves.

Migrants are :
Mebzuth Shorastrith, blacksmith
Îton Îtdunthob, clotiher
Goden Rigothidos, potter
Cilob Atheltan, fishdwarf
Rakust Zasitamud, beekeeper
Mörul Mörulvush, Dyer

Thîkut Dorengigin Namnecak Tatlosh, Dwarf slayer. This is the name of the bloody swordwarf who kill every body. If you see him, take his head for the dinner's hall's wall.

Yeah !
It's a new year. Finelly. I have 9 citizen, a lot of alcoohol and ... and ghosts. He is a merchant who fall in the river and ... I have nothing for making slab. Not a geat new. All dwarves are nervous. Cétautomatix, the new leader is oblious of the real world. His new surname is "senateur", because that is the best definition in france for a political guy out of space. He has a new skill : clutch user. I love this game.

1 month in 2 month dwarves work theirs fight skill with spears and shields. If I can sell wine or something else, I can try buy goods weapons. The last time, the massacre of the lonely swordwarf make me more prudent.
The gost is a big problem : every day he come making noise around my fisher and my senator. Guy, I'm sorry for you, but you're kill yourself somewhere without stone. Get away and make my life easier, you want ?
I try to make a big dinner room outside ... but for the moment, the self-service in the cave have a perfect size. Bigger is not better ... no ?
Withe luck, I can product cheese this year. And ambroisie.
