Hi there. I'm relatively new on the Forum so I might have missed that there is maybe a room for this type of play.
Anyway, I was recently reading the story of Headshoots
https://lparchive.org/Dwarf-Fortress-Headshoots/ and as far as I understand it, some people gathered together playing DF. Not quite multiplayer but each player would rule the fortress one year and then somebody else would take over the save file, starting a new year. Players also reserved names for dwarfen personnel that was integrated into storytelling "sorry McUrist but you died again of thirst during my reign".
To summarise the story quickly, the humble beginning towards common progress turned quickly into a madhouse, each ruler only possessed with creating the most pompous tomb to be remembered for. Quote "This is it - Headshoots - the most legendary and the most notorious dwarven outpost on this continent. Its abysmal architecture doesn't seem to follow any kind of logical structure. There are half finished towers, flooding corridors, terrible death traps and labyrinths. Citizens crawl through long corridors in muddy rags."
Would anyone be interested to play together? It would be good to also write what happened during your year and posting some screenshots.
Something else, while reading the story of Headshoots I realised they were playing an older version of DF (2014?) or had mods installed, I'm not sure.
» There was a bottomless chasm, it seems the current DF version doesn't support this feature anymore. I found it quite interesting. It's literally a hole without end (leading to a bottom that seems to erase stuff)
» Mighty warrior dworfs frequently smashed enemies that flied off in an arc often 20 tiles into distance. I had a very strong adventurer once but I can't recall being able to just smash enemies into the air with an object
