Got it now. :)

Quote from: Journal of Kazari Limulkalan
1st Granite, 1066
The last three dwarves selected for Overseership of Kulettogum have met messy ends before they even began their task. Dresdor was killed during a goblin siege mere weeks ago, and both his successor and his successors successor are well overdue but have not been sighted since they headed off into the swamps to reach us. I suspect goblins or worse are to blame.

No one else wants to be Overseer so the job has fallen to the official Adminstrator - in other words, me. Why doesn't anyone want the role? I'm not sure but I'm fairly sure the insane King Consort who keeps muttering about his tootsie, or the Duchess Consort is keeps flying into rages over not having an Adamantine door installed in her tomb have something to do with it.

Some good news though, I'm going shopping!

Well, it looks like the last few rulers-to-be have all either died or vanished without a trace. According to the turn roster it looks like I'm next up so I'll have them declared dead and have a crack at the fortress after tea. :)


/edit Except that ddfd seems to be down.  >:(

Bumping for news, updates and justice.

I fear rucksackjack has fallen in the moat. :o

Ive killed all of the other leaders in the goblin civ in seiges a few times, the demon always stays at home.  sigh.

This is why he is in charge. He doesn't lead suicidal charges into heavily defended fortresses run by bearded midgets.  ;)

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Filling a tower with water.
« on: January 16, 2009, 03:49:23 pm »
To a certain extent, if all you want is to fill the tower you can just make some buckets, provide a route to the top of the water tank in the tower and designate a pond up there. Dwarves will dutifully and bloodymindedly use buckets to fill the tower from your watersource (the brook) without needing to mess around with petty trifles such as pumps.

(Depending on the size of your tower, this may take a very long time or even be impossible, if the bottom is big enough to make it evapourate before it reaches more than 1/7 depth.)

 ;D

I fear it may be time to declare Brendan dead.

All hail rucksackjack!


Although he's not posted anything for a few weeks either.

189
Well, it's been almost a week now, so move onto the next victim IMO. Err, I mean ruler.  ;)

Has anyone messaged Dresdor?

191
Oh dear, so he did actually walk into the swamps and was never seen whole again.

Except by the alligator swarm, I suppose.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Magma/Obsidian defenses
« on: January 05, 2009, 08:11:31 pm »
Obsidian forms best when water is dropped on magma or magma id dropped on water... you do NOT want to form obsidian in the air unless you have that tool that cancels pause for you.

Hm, never tried this so what happens? I'm guessing continual cave ins as your floating block of obsidian is created, pauses the game and startes plummeting down?

Related question, do falling tiles actually do any damage? Or is it a small "cave in" radius? I've noticed on cave ins which dwarf gets dragged tohis doom and what actually collapses doesn;t seem necessarily related to what you might think, so...

Anyway, dropping tonnes of rapidly cooling obsidian onto goblin heads sounds like an entertaining idea for someoe to try.  :D

'Wulfgar Openthroat' Stizashdeduk, Recruit.

Oops, I wonder when that happened. He was someone who popped intot he thread, asked for a dwarf to be named for him then was never seen again. Likewise his dwarf entered the military as a recruit then also apparently vanished into the swamps, never to be seen again.  :o

194
Is Valter still around? Or did he drown in one of his many adventures off the walls and into the moat? :D

195
Oof, Dresdor killed by goblins. :O

One by one, everyone is dying. Still, at least we got some migrants this time!
