erm, sorry to break it to you guys, but I think I'll have to skip out on this round.
Just happened to be occupied with other stuff this week, so I'm gonna give my turn to whoever is after me.

Once again, I am sincerely sorry, but RL stuff calls.

Nevermind whatever I posted before

HERE'S AN UPDATE!

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

I’ve just immigrated from the mountainhomes to the great dwarven fort known as “The Eternal Halls” I’ve received the offer to become leader for a year, and having previously heard rumors of its greatness, I could not refuse the offer.

Upon arrival to this fort, I checked the current economic situations and things seems quite sound with a good amount of wealth as well as an abundance of food, drink, and meals.

The population as of now is

4 miners
8 woodworkers
5 marksdwarves
2 woodcutters
9 stoneworkers
1 baroness
9 metalsmithies
8 swordsdwarf
3 guards
A leatherworker, a clothier, a woodcrafter
2 fisherdwarves
Bunch of farmers (that includes butchers/millers/cooks ect.)
3 medical dwarves
2 clerks
9 kids
And…

A god emperor?
(whatever that might be)

With a total population of 84 dwarves
There is one thing however which reallllllly bugs me however, and that is the lack of engineers.



Being an architect/mechanic at heart, I have a weak spot for unnecessarily elaborate designs of both ascetic and mechanical constructions. I will make sure I undergo my soul separating meditation and take over the body of a dwarf I deem suitable for my favorite role.

Judging from the military, I can see that the previous rulers seem to have a liking for marksdwarves and swordsdwarves. I’ve never gotten around to liking crossbows, always preferred to bash things with something solid rather than shooting sticks at my enemies, but I guess they will come useful, judging from the frequency of buzzard raids written in the records of previous rulers.

I see one of the previous rulers have put aside some time to make some decent quality burial tombs. Maybe I’ll claim a room once I get things working here.



The zoo here, although small, is certainly quite entertaining. While there are mostly crundles and foxes for display, there is also a blind cave ogre as well as a certain creature that I took a particular interest to.
I’ve even drawn a sketch of the rather disturbing yet unusually intriguing creature.



The jail is certainly well designed with what almost looks like a giant bloodstain trailing on the left. Now if only they increased the size of the bottom two rooms a bit more...



[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]

The kitchen, while a mess, is certainly quite lively.



I see they’ve even established a magma forge base down in the depths.





The previous rulers appear to be constructing a magma pump, but haven’t quite finished up yet. I will see to it that its construction shall continue.



This shall be an interesting fort indeed.

possible ideas for mad science.

edit: failed hard because I forgot MAGMA!

WHOOT! Thank you Arni.
It works now, although I still have no idea what went wrong with my other version.




I'll update the situation in a few days once I figure out how everything works.


note: just one question. What's with the unusual spiral staircase design and all the floor hatches covering it?

Why cant you just relocate your magma smelters in addition to a sustainable amount of food/shelter/ale all the way down there instead?
Heck why don't you just move the entire fort there?

you can even have magma wells that way too!

bumped?

Eternal Halls, Here I come!

edit:strange, I seem to have forgotten how to open up the folder despite having done this 4-5 times before.
I've downloaded the file and opened up "Data"
I then opened up "save"
I placed the file folder down, but when I go to open it up in the game, I don't see it.


Maybe I got the version wrong.
What version is this game?
I have 0.31.12

cmon cant wait to do some experimentation!
