That's not "however high-quality-it gets", that's barely better than impure rooms....That aside, you could encrust that furniture with everything, but I suppose that could be considered exploity in the exact same way.

However, I'll note that wiki editors have listed quantum stockpiles under exploits. If your goal is to avoid anything they've put on that page it means that you can't use dropping things down a hole to transport goods - you need to use stockpiles inside an airlock.

Never seen malpractice myself, but my fortresses are rather safe. If you can give me a screenshot of malpractice, it'd be appreciated.

You can't store magma in a wooden minecart. The minecart just disappears.

I'm fine with quantum stockpiles. (The fort has very few people, it's just starting), but I don't want to just stuff mechanisms on a bridge.

Also, I'm aware you can't store magma in wooden minecarts. That's why they're wooden.

After some time of looking at dwarves and new migrants, we apppear to only be getting black haired, copper skinned, brass eyed dwarves...the impure might only be able to join by petition. TTnTT

Unless of course I go with some other body difference. Maybe those with really upturned noses or something are Impure....? Hmm...I need to make a list of the differences of body stuff and make a 'range' for the Pure/Purest and Impure. Yes. Mutations may not be allowed! MUWAHAHAHAHA.


Tiny fort update

We survived our first wereass attack. Four dead and one cursed though. BECAUSE THE OTHER DAMN AXEDWARVES WERE SLEEPING. WHY THE FUCK DO THEY STILL SLEEP WHEN THERE'S A CALL TO ARMS? On the plus side, I've successfully managed to contain the outbreak as one dwarf and make the fort immortal. He's locked inside what would be his tomb. With engravings. And I'll make an engraving on the floor next to the constructed (thus-unfortunately-unengravable-wall) of him being cursed as a warning.

One of the original seven was killed as well. I'm making their bedrooms into their tombs with golden coffins. I need to get the awesome-at-every-thing-metal-but-blacksmithing dude up to scratch with his blacksmith, and wait for a good blacksmith, to make statues for the tomb and the O7's rooms. The other three that have died are getting tin sarcophagi. Unless they too, were part of the O7. I need to double check that.

On the sealed tomb, we have our first engraving of our fortress' symbol.

"Engraved is a fine Tosid Arbantulon rendition of The Outrageous Mountain, a finely-designed image of dwarves and elves. The dwarves are burning the elves. The dwarves are laughing. The dwarves are torturing the elves. The elves are unnaturally contorted. The image is the symbol of The Avalanche of Death, a local dwarven government."

Oh yeah. The first elven caravan also came by. The beginnings of the Impure armor and weapon stockpile has begun. I've also decided that the Impure will have the crypt/mausoleum of the Pure as the entrance to their section. So that they may know what they should strive for.

This turned Nazi really fast, and here at Bay12 we blink no eye.

... Guys, I'm worried about us

PURIFY! PURIFY! PURIFY!

Alright fellow forumdwellers; I need your help!

Wooden minecarts for use on the Vertical Exceptionally Ramped Yahoo Designating Extreme Accelerating Device.

Purest: Black hair, copper skin.
 
Pure: Black hair, or copper skin.
 
Impure: Non-dwarf, or no black hair and copper skin.

Gold sarcophogi for Original 7. Silver for royalty. Tin, copper, etc for other Purest.

Stone sarcophagi for Pure.

Slabs for Impure unless death in battle with at least one notable kill. Valiant Impure get wood coffins sealed inside favorite stone/metal-block chamber on surface.
 
Impure section is to be kept separate from the main fort and all invaders from below or surface must go through it. 

Tavern set up above Impure section and also used as buffer for surface invasions.

Main fortress has three main stairways. One for stoneworking, one for metalworking, and one for Pure/Purest dining, library, temple, military stuff, etc, and for whatever doesn't fall under metal, stone, or wood (eg: glass). Woodworking is on/close to the surface.

Impure are the only ones to haul and push carts around.

Pure do weaving, stoneworking, woodworking, and military. (Mining and mechanic fall under stoneworking. Siege engineer is woodworking.)
 
Purest do metalworking and military.
 
Original 7 have Royal-Quality chambers.

Purest have 3x3 'however-high-quality-it-gets' chambers.

Pure have 2x2 'however-high-quality-it-gets' chambers.
 
Impure have either rough stone dormitory or barracks.

Pure/Purest have legendary dining rooms and statue gardens and whatnot.

Impure have the most basic of stuff.

Keep Impure separate from Pure except in hospital. Maybe.

Impure military forces have wooden armor and melee weapons. Two different 'sections', one watching the surface, one watching the caverns.

Pure/Purest military forces have metal or leather and metal weapons along with crossbows.

One Purest (theoretically the Expedition leader) will be chatting around with the idle dwarves in a meeting hall to hopefully become Mayor. That is the only job for them.

What I need your guys' help with is figuring out ways to do some of these. Specifically keeping the Impure away from the Pure when it comes to stockpiles. I'm aware you can make dwarves throw stuff down holes and then the Impure could haul it to where it needs to go, but I don't know how I'd get raw material to the working people very easily. Quantum stockpiles by minecart perhaps?

Also, should I have two separate hospitals for the lulz of watching the Impure have malpractice, would having one centralish hospital with good staff be the best option (just so we can have that one Impure soldier with legendary status.)?

I will be posting as interesting stuff happens. Hell, I'll dorf some people next wave(s) if you want. Some Impure will be purified by the VERYDEAD minecart ride.

Can anyone also tell me what might be better than 'black hair and copper skin'? Because so far all my dwarves seem to have that...I'll need to look through it a bit more, but I'd like something a bit more...rare for the Purest.

Hmm...If we can be dorfed without needing to be put in line for lasting, I'll take the dorf with skill in a spear. And if we have to be put in place for a turn, might as well try my hand at a succession game. XD People will die when I'm in charge.

Also, Salmuek, is that the ASCII?

OOC: Time to get this party started! (Also, sorry if the journal quality is crappy, I've gotten a tad rusty)
---------------

I am speciesun0wn, Primarch of the Foehammer Legion. Or, rather, I was. And I've resolved that I will be once again. The initial attempt at blocking the necromancers failed, no doubt there's a necroloving hippy worshiper somewhere along the chain of command, how else would they have known exactly where to strike? But not this time. No. This time we will prevail! I have willed my spirit toward a group of dwarves who look like they will be able to take back the fort and make it a shining example of our might. They are preparing at this time and not minding the fact I'm using their pens and papers to write this journal. If I lead them well, I'm sure the Empress and Armok will be pleased enough to give me a new body so I may become a saint and lead in a more personal role rather than leaving notes in an office. Goldenpaged will rise once more, a beacon of worship to Armok and the Empress! When we have gathered our strength enough, the necromancer tower will be attacked and made to crumble, it's foul hippy-given magic tomes will be burned and peace will be brought to this side of the land. And then we will go further, to the goblin lands and crush those and even further until we have destroyed all the hippies, goblins, monsters and so forth and will have brought the continent under Digperium control.

It's almost time for the wagon to leave, I will be traveling with them to help guide them along the best routes and as well as where they should go in order to get inside the fortress.

---------

Sometime in Felsite



They parked the wagon above the fortress, close to the farms. Armok, this place is a mess. Nigh everything that was light enough to easily move has been strewn about the surface! Damn hippies have told their creatures to desecrate our halls and our dead! I don't want to know how they managed to get the bodies of our fallen outside. But oddly enough, no sign of the undead that assaulted us. Shankcushion, The_Lord_Bastard, Shaggyaga, and Shiriae all have put on their armor and grabbed their weapons before heading toward a fortification I advised they remove due to it being weakened by cracks. They begin exploring the silent halls of the fortress with no sign of any blasphemous hippy creation. Not even down in the mines! Very odd. The front bridge was blocking the entrance and I don't think the undead were able to move through fortifications. Perhaps the hippies told their animals to tear apart the undead inside and drag the parts out for the necromancers to resurrect again just as arms, heads, and torsos and things? Well, we had best not look down upon this blessing!


Sometime midsummer


We got migrants faster than I expected. That's good. More hands to help clean up the desecration and work at the places the initial people aren't good at. I had two of them join the Foehammer chapter at Goldenpaged which Shankcushion was leading in my stead. Shiriae was helping him as both are equals in terms of their skills. They wished to be part of my Legion, it's a lonely, hard job, so they'd best not complain for too much longer about not being able to socialize. They have the rest of their battle-beards after all!


With those migrants came a very pissed off human. He must have merely had a 'problem' with my Legion though, because he didn't attack the migrants. Shiriae made short work of him, breaking his grip on his axe with a mighty swing of her silver hammer and blocking every blow either with her buckler, the haft of her hammer, or angling her body so it glances off her armor. Then Shankcushion joined her and the two of them chased the quickly screaming human around the fortress' upper lands. They chased the human to exhaustion and laid into him where Shankcushion got the kill by sending the human's brain through his skull.

Around fall

More migrants came in the next season. I put the one with the most discipline into the speardwarf squad that Sad Kevin leads.


Then a creature that most every fort fears, a most foul hippy creation. A werebeast. We received a weremongoose, I sent the hammerdwarves and the speardwarves to drive it off and a trader who migrated in with the last wave somehow got involved. The poor bastard didn't stand a chance once the weremongoose got him. The hammerdwarves bruise, dented, cracked, chipped, and fractured the weremongoose's bones, but sadly Alido was bit severely and Bloodydaft was killed on the battlefield soon after the weremongoose was struck down. Anyone reading this may have noticed that I never mentioned the speardwarves. That's for good reason. The twits never showed up to fight the weremongoose! They had what they needed for the most part, but never attacked. A non-combat trained trader did more than they did. I watched as the civilian dwarves brought Alido and the trader to the hospital and set up plans for fortifications to be built around the beds in order to kill the werebeasts that may transform from them. Alido died quickly after transforming for some odd reason while the trader stayed alive.

A caravan came, but with no liaison for some unknown reason. The dwarves traded the mugs that were produced by the original dwarves of Goldenpaged for some booze, bronze gauntlets, some bolts, and a steel spear.

Winter

I drew plans for Digperium Guard training facilities and the dwarves have begun digging them out. Aside from the trader turning every now and then, there's nothing else of note. Aside from all the ghosts and coffins we're making.


-------------------------------------------

OOC: Yeah, not the best I've done. There isn't really too much to do atm. Lots of cleaning up by Armok. I've had to disable hauling on a good many dwarves in order to make them actually do stuff. Especially Airith. She refused to smooth the walls and floor of what will be a 'dining tomb' otherwise. Oh, and screw the children. >> They've clogged up the coffins of all the ghosts and dwarves who are actually worth something. Of the 90+ dead things on the map, 70+ of those are dwarves of the Digperium. XD So yeah, lots of coffins. There's gonna be a zig-zaggy stairwell catacomb thingy in order to hold all the coffins...

Oh, can anyone help me with making all my civilian dwarves wear shields and crossbows/quivers-of-bolts? I don't understand uniforms. :/

Uh...how fast did I die? Twice in 4-5 months? XDDDD

*Falls to the floor on his knees* I'm...dead...? NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Redorfplz

Water everywhere! Just like a true Battlefailed fortress!
