Excerpt from “The Decline and Fall of the Dwarf People”, by E. Taksmo

In the first century of our era, the Dwarven Mountainhomes comprehended the fairest part of the world, and the richest portion of the land. The people of that land were wealthy and happy, and the borders were secured against outside threat by a trained and well equipped soldiery.

And yet, nearly one century after reaching that height, the great Mountain Halls lay ruined, the once happy people slaughtered and scattered, and the machines that inspired wonder in the eyes of any who saw them were broken beyond repair. The very earth surrounding their realm broke and shifted, the consequences of which are not worth repeating, as my readers no doubt live with them daily.

This work shall examine the reasons for that decline and eventual, literal fall, an event of enormous consequence whose aftershocks are still being felt by all the peoples of this world. The particular role played in the grand play of history by one very large bridge shall, of course, receive special note. It could hardly be otherwise...

From the Journals of Asmel Machinepartnered:

Ash storms again. I am sick to death of ash storms!

There are seven left of us in the wagon, and one wagon.  The other wagons? Lost in ash storms, or torn to bits by monsters in the night. Gar kept us safe, though. He’s guiding the wagon.



We stopped as the ash stopped falling. Bayar and Dermonster left the wagon first.





They prefer to! They have weapons. But they didn’t need them. When I looked out of the wagon, I saw that we’d reached the ocean. Not a living or dead thing in sight. Just sand and water. Dead trees too, but those are common thing.

It’s the first of granite. The others agree that this is probably the place!



The world got “twisted up” in the disaster, they say but they really think this might be it.

Haika and Counselor and Goldhammer are out of the wagon, too. Counselor has got his pick out. It looks like we’re stopping here.



It's time to find out what sort of place Oceanbridge is. New Oceanbridge, I guess.

i wound't try it yet  zombies are bugged and when we try to build that bridge were going to get interupted
i would keep genning some worlds.

Only evil embarks are on purpose, not because he couldn't find anything else.

I'd vote for haunted. It's not only, in a fact, haunted one is even more potent with fun since it can't turn out to be filled with wimpy trolls or harpies.
Request another dorf: Di-IV preferably miner, so I'm not the first (or not the only one) to get ripped apart by zombies.

By the way, make sure you use 34.02 since compatibility was broken again and Toady said all previous fortress are going to die to bug.
