Succession Game - Anenu Ewe

DWARF FORTRESS PeridexisErrant's Starter Pack 0.43.03-r09

In The Planets of Enchanting, upon The Land of Rhyme, and deep within The Reputed Frost, the last dwarves of a dying civilization come to make their final stand.  Long has the war with the goblins diminished their number, but here they will stand or die in this place called Muzishcatten, Martyrchanneled.

Succession Game Rules

I’ll try to keep a queue of players right here on top.  When the save becomes available, the next person in queue gets 3 days to notice, play their year, and post a new save before they are shunned.  If 3 days pass, the next person gets a chance to play from the current save.  I’ll try to notify people by PM or email or whatever, however they want me to.

Embarked to a glacier, with native yeti.  I was busy digging the dining room, when a yeti comes barging in being like WHERE'S THE DINING ROOM.  he toppled everything on his way down, and i recruited everyone into a squad to pick it to death. 

However, for the life of me, i can't get them to equip the picks.  They just wrestle it.  They wrestled with an unconscious yeti for 7 days before i gave up and reloaded.  So now the yeti is barreling down on me, and i got like 1 day to get the miners to wield their picks in combat.  how do i do it?

In the uniform page, picks are a selection but listed as foreign.  The squad doesn't seem to want to equip them that way.  I also tried 'melee weapon of choice' and that didn't work either.  What's the trick?  Do they need a barracks to equip within?

it would be nice to have a few buckets of water sitting in my hospital.  how can i make a stockpile that accepts only buckets full of water?

So now that there's a tileset for 40.01 i can finally play it without burning my eyes out.  Doing it without dwarf therapist is a new and terrible experience for me, but I muddled through it ok.

I played a brand new fortress for about a year, and I'll complain about it below:

One immigrant brought with him a pet Sow.  The sow poured beetles and louses off of it as it wandered around, and they started cropping up all over.  The cats went crazy getting rid of them, but i'm slowly be overrun by the bug invaders.  Its a Trojan Pig sort of situation.  I might have the pig suffer an unfortunate atom smashing accident...

As with other players, my trees were causing collapse warnings, but they didn't seem to produce puffs of dust, or actually do anything really.  The pauses were annoying though.

Dwarves eat, drink and do negotiations much faster now, resulting in less downtime.  This is very nice.  They also seem to put negotiations lower in the priority tree, and so my leader mined everything he was supposed to before starting the negotiations.  Go him.

A stone detailer smoothing a stone under a dwarf dumping a stone resulted in a dangerous terrain warning.

Finally, near the end of the first year, a VILE FORCE OF DARKNESS appeared.  I didn't even have a door or bridge up yet, and they mightily quashed my poor fortress.  My civilization screen didn't show anyone at war with me, and so I didn't expect to have to defend myself so early on.

The force consisted of dwarf recruits, elf bowmen and humans of various military professions.  They seemed to work as a team, not fighting one another, but instead quickly axemurdering my entire fortress.  Bandits maybe?

Anyway, a few dwarves made it to a workshop and locked themselves in, but without any wine down there, i doubt they'll last very long.  My Little Fortress: Losing is Magic.

Here is a hand crafted embark, just for you.  It was created using Perfectworld and a whole lot of DFhack.  I designed the whole place to make a wonderful, easy, beautiful fortress, where dwarves can live in safety and focus on important things like making really cool deathtraps for the incoming goblins and beasties, and making aluminum artifact socks that menace with spikes of forgotten beast bone.  The abandoned fortress has not been touched by a pick, and there's no supplies left behind.  It looks just like new!

This is a hand crafted 2x3 embark area. 

The surface is a featureless plane of black sand and dolomite boulders, and is populated by the dreaded two-hump camel, rattlesnakes, honey and bumble bees, barn owls and coyotes.

As a special offer, embarking here gets you one(1) free Gaint Olm Leather. (because i can't make it go away for the life of me.) 

The first three layers are black sand, and the next five are special delivery solid dolomite.  No clusters, no veins, just dolomite.  After that is 4 layers of dolomite with clusters of magnetite, jet and gypsum, with veins of bituminous coal, galena and native aluminum.  Below that is 4 layers of obsidian, with clusters of jet and alunite, and veins of sphalerite, native gold and tetrahedrite. 

Level 17 is made of Gneiss, and is the beginning of the cave layers.  The caves contain water and reptile men. The magma begins at level 30, and there are 2 pillars of delicious delicous demon candy.



That's where it is but you can find it easily by reclaiming.

I've tried it out for 3 years to make sure nothing was hinky and so far my fortress is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!  I recommend bringing wood as there is none, and quickly trading for wool to satisfy moods.  Let me know if you like this map, maybe i'll hand craft some others. (like an evil undead and terrible mist embark.)

there's got to be at least 1 other dwarf brony out there that thinks this is funny.

I just generated a pretty wonderful embark.  Its flat snowy tundra with layers of dolomite infused with pockets of magnetite and veins of coal.  There's water in the caverns and magma below that, only 21 layers down.  Do people even share their maps, and if so where do i put it, and how do i find other people's embarks that are even more fantastic than mine?
