Bay 12 Games Forum

Ello! Here shall be the first attempt at an "AI Game," as proposed by DwarfMeister here:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=106862.60

basically, everyone plays the fortress for a year, the same year, and the best (by vote) fort is then used in the next round

The rules are as follows:

the timeframe shall be:

this form of play lends well to joining late, so feel free to jump in if you can submit a file in time

also, I'm not sure how to name this thread, so please tell me I assume we'll put in the fortress name, once its been finalized

we are a couple days behind the sunday- wednesday schedule, but I don't think the first year should take too long to play and write about, but if we need to extend playing time, that shouldn't be too much trouble. The first few weeks probably will smooth out timing issues. Anyways, post if you want to participate, and get started!

Shovel the dirt!.. mine the rock? err.. Strike the earth!

My fortress is getting boring. I need more fun. Is there a way to change the surroundings to terrifying? Or change 'Calm' to behave the same as terrifying?

I've never modded anything so...

Lets say, hypothetically, one wished to create more anatomically correct creatures, so that, hypothetically, battles and whatnot would have more entertaining injuries. Lets say, hypothetically, male humanoids had an extra arm, while female humanoids had two extra arms. Where in the raws would one enter these limbs, and how? I'm assuming it would have something to do with these 'castes'?..
