Not gonna lie, I did miss that update.  Either that or I mistook it for the Human traders.  And yes I did trade adamantine weapons as I thought this was a new development.  Went for the big spend as we had no real combat threats to the fort and it should (if at ALL possible), entice migrants.

107
We're not alone! There's more dorfs out there! :D

If we're VERY lucky, we may even get some migrants out of this.  Possibly.  The only worrying thing is that there wasn't a liason with the caravan.

108
Why are we letting humans into Deathgate? I thought the official policy was !!magma!! delivery ...

That's not a human civ...

I've given them a bunch of adamantine weapons and they're walking out with a little under 150,000 profit just to make sure they get back with good news.  I bought some anvils, picks, and booze in exchange.  Also a lot of cheese.

109
Something completely unexpected that could decide the fate of the fort.  I THINK I've found it, I've got dwarves unbarring the way to the lever now.  I really hope they work fast for once and get everything set up in time...


I found the bridge lever.  Now it's just a race to see if the dwarves can get the job I set them done in time


It was done in time.  What drove me to such madness, you may ask?  What event could possibly make me forsake Operation Red Shield and open Deathgate to the world?

This is an emergency update.  I _NEED_ the location of the exterior drawbridge lever right now.

I'll be playing some more in an hour or so, so I'll do a quick update on who's still alive.

Also, if anyone else made dwarfing requests, could you remind me what they were please?

This whole situation reminds me greatly of Boatmurder's "Fuck the World" device, with less magma and direction. Impressive.

Its not clear from the screenshots,but water dumped out of the cisten in roughly one tick. It all went 7/7 before there was even a chance to react. But yes, very much FTW device. We just need one with magma (though since magma doesn't pressurize, I'm not sure if it would work very well ...)

Magma cistern, multiple screwpumps drawing from the bottom level of it.

Things just went from bad to worse. A second ambush showed up and the floor waters promptly washed them in through an open skylight and into Swordthunders.

You turned my holiday resort into a glorified waterpark!?

Yes. We now have one dead dwarf, and four goblins roaming the halls, with an unequipped militia (who have gotten better at wrestling).

Oh dear.  Whereabouts did they actually get inside, anyway?  Also, how flooded is the fort?

So, update should happen soonish. Had a *slight* mishap and the fort currently running at 2 FPS ...

Once everything dries out it should be back to normal.

Someone fiddled with the cistern controls.  Did you douse the goblins, or the storage cave?

116
Bwahahahah.  Interesting new choice of thread header, Deathsword. 

117
I think I know where and what you mean, but it's not very effective.  Especially with the water level as low as it is in the cistern.

118
I don't think TAD installed a self destruct ...

No, but I did.  It's clearly marked with a note. 

I wouldn't bother trying to use the pressure defense system - It never worked, and most of it's now being used for storage.

119
you sure u have the right save? when I finished there were no more carved slab and swordthunder is a county. erica is the baroness and cousac is the count. there's 2 goblin army and one already dead just outside. I played on linux so my save should work fine

I took the save ThatAussieGuy gave me in the PM. Where's the most recent one?

Ugh, found it. Well, my first update is officially null and void. Annoying.

Ah crap, I fucked up on this one - I copy-and-pasted the last "it's your turn" message and forgot to update the savegame.

120
Got the save. Unfortunately, I'm travelling for the next two weeks with a rather underpowered laptop. Its possible I may need to be kicked down a level on the turn list. Will let you know ASAP

EDIT: Got it, seems the graphics pack was lost (I prefer ASCII but thought Iwould menthon it). I however thought we were a barony; I see no baron ...

EDIT 2: splintzer's therapist doesn't like 31.25. (not that therapist worked very well on this version of DF/Linux)

There's a copy of DF with the necessary graphics pack in the OP
