Bay 12 Games Forum

You know, sometimes I wonder why we stuff ourselves into caves, breathing this musty, dank air, our eyes adjusting to the darkness so much that sunlight is enough to nauseate, dealing with the horrors of the deep, instead of living freely on the surface.

And then I remember that nature fucking hates our guts.

also, do the trick where you put a bridge over a channel at the entrance, so the channel eats the magma instead of it smelting dwarfite bars.

Let me get this straight. Year 1, goes okay. My year, goes okay. 3rd year, goes okay until the overseer burns the world and us along with it. 4th year, THE OVERSEER UNLEASHES HELL. Welp, that was fast for a fort to die. Guess I shouldn't have expected anything more from Bay12 + v.23a.

wait, you fixed FUCKUNICORNS? As in, it doesn't also flood the fort with magma?

Well, thats only a minor design flaw. If it kills unicorns, it kills unicorns.

we have perfectly viable defenses in the form of a giant magma lever of doom

How in the blazes does flooding the fort with magma end up with a LOWER death toll than this?

Holy crap. You know, I think this is the first succession fort that I've seen which involves noble genocide.

...While you're still promoting fire-safe housing and design with these community fortresses, saying that we are inspired to follow your example feels off, somehow.

i love how people in this fort thought one extremely flawed flooding device wasn't enough, so they built another extremely flawed flooding device that has to be cleaned up using the first one, which has itself been modified at least twice (once to fix it flooding the fort, and then again to. . . make it flood the fort again. We're good at this.)

Whether or not they were truly as terrifying as required to justify the holocaust that had occurred here is something better left to men more philosophical than I to determine.

I can't wait until he comes across the fact that the annihilation he knows about is merely the latest one rather than the only one.
