I'm not that familiar with modding, but i think that all the players should set their creatures to the same biome, so they show up in the same area.</STRONG>

I Fenrir captures random creatures then edits thier raw files then he can get the creatures very quickly. Example. Capture a deer, save, quit, edit the raws so the deer is identical to the Torak, save, start dwarf fortress, profit.

Just put a wall over the entrance to ensure that the half dozen deer(now Toraks) don't invade your hapless fort.

I'll put one up soon.

Post the results of his tantrum. This should be good.

Anything other then your dwarves, friendlies, merchants or diplomats will scare your dwarves. So they will be scared by a groundhog. And any other wild animals.

All alcohol will explode when ignited in dwarf fortress. People have tried to build exploding alcohol traps but I haven't seen any built.

Well then niltrias your up. Generate a new world and find a good spot. And please don't say no. Reign on your Parade is right after you and has already been back once. We've already had a quarter of the participants pushed back on the list, multiple aquifiers were found after embark, new version and a accident concerning traps.(They didn't kill anyone.) Is this project cursed?

</STRONG>

You can't channel to the edge of the map. Only the 2 players that get the magma vents will have magma.
As well I believe that people wanted a heavily forested region.

Chasms only appear in mountains. Because of the fact that we want to cover the map in 2*2 forts we can't use mountains. So no chasms.


278
Let us continue the search for a good region.

279
This does not bode well. The first 4 players have already failed to start anything.

Flok your up.

You have the perfect position right now. If you do anything it will be called a success. Don't worry about anything extravagant, a muddy hole in the dirt would be progress right now.

Unless Fenrir wants to abandon his current fort and reclaim on his turn.

We won't have to worry about sieges. I didn't pick a spot with magma because then we'd have to decide who would get it.</STRONG>

That would make it difficult to get an adventurer to without using the Play Now button. Which means that You couldn't send a seasoned adventurer to there.


281
As well pits, chasms, cave rivers and underground lakes are only available on mountain maps. If you start on a mountain tile then not all of the are will be able to be used for a fort. However some people might want a magma vent. Those do appear off of mountains.

No one other then Asehujiko has started yet. We're waiting. How are things going anyway?

Anyway
Does anyone know who made the water.exe and the lava.exe. If those get updated for the new versions then people might be more willing to take a spot off the river.


284
Maybe some of the people on the river should take a 4 wide section. Since the river is in such high demand only the best attractions should be there.

That makes it easier to read. Further improvements are encouraged.
