Bay 12 Games Forum

Note that if you try to do it with a MOD, you will break it.

Thanks, Deon - I had no idea (I don't use mods).  It shouldn't affect the save referred to, here - which is another thread altogether.  Let's stop derailing this one, and move the convo over there.

Correct me if I'm wrong (which happens quite often!), but BoatMurdered isn't a let's play, AFAIK.  A succession fort, sure.  An awesome, often hilarious tale, absolutely.  But a let's play - how so?

Let's plays originated on Something Awful, where they were originally forum posts with screenshots.

A Let's play is rather nebulous in definition.

I read it on the Let's Play archive, where it's decribed as a succession-style lets play. So both it and I would say that succession games are a type of group Let's play.  There's several of the more famous succession forts on there, so it seems they're considered Let's plays.

I stand corrected.

When I started playing fullscreen, and found myself annoyed by the list of commands popping up and obscuring my view.

That, or when I finally figured out how to completely automate multiple military squads, from scheduling through equipment.

I'll consider myself adept (as opposed to just 'not a newb') when I can go from 0-point embark to massive logic-gate dorfputing.  So, in another few years, perhaps!

d -> z should do it, if I understand your description properly.

As to posting pictures, try an online hosting site like imagur.com (there are many others, that's just the one I use); once your pic(s) are hosted, you should be provided with a BB Code for posting.

I tried that one first, it actually gave me the idea to try this one, but when I load it the symbols are all messed up or something.

If you use the LNP, you can update the save to whatever tileset you like, with the click of a button.  Tileset changes don't change the fundamentals of the save, and are therefore fair game.

I don't usually do these community forts but I was getting bored of just taming various challenging embarks of my own devising.  I liked the idea of this one, but it would be cool if more people were playing, or maybe if it were more "fun" somehow like an evil region or something.
