THE FORTRESS THIRSTS!
 

As of now
There!
Are!
Four!
Lights Shorukes

Surprisinly many people want dongs. It's getting silly, very silly indeed

Starting from the precrash, unretired save. (lucky that i saved the fort midturn)

got a LARGE glass of potato wine
Since I have played through these next two months or so twice or so already I think I can remember most of the stuff I did and can just quickly repeat it all.
Removed the crash-inducing construction orders, added more beds to dorms, started building a drinking hole and ordered some crap to be built on repeat
I think that some channeling orders caused plenty of deaths before. Clearing those orders. Better start from scratch
This feels too.. efficient. Oh well, I'm, sture that I will manage to mess up later.

HURRAH FOR LEGENDARY IMMIGRANT MINERS!

werescruffy is on a rampage. again. better kiull him
scruffy7, now youy know why you fear the night
Hurrah for hammerlords from previous fort

sriously

http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=10776

iploading pictures and savev after play9ing. hard. sleep now
seriously. dont pull the levers or this happes
JSUT REM OVE thE LEVERS IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT PULL THEM!

Edit: Just a bit of extra from when I checked the save afterwards (to see that i uploaded the right one)
No interesting engravings yet

The elves don't know the grandeur of the superior dwarven cuisine!

..Thats just the corpses on a SINGLE tile. There are dozens of drowned dorfs in there.
Also fish. Some trout swimming around

So Kamin X Scruffy is a thing ? I was aware alcohol made girls more prone to lesbianism, but does it work for boys as well ?

Also I want to vote for the "I am shoruke" option because it's the funniest. Alas, option one is what I believe, so...

Also checking out that turn it seems good. I'm actually somewhat boozed up but it's time for sleep now ! GO ! SCRUFFY ! (now scruffy is a pokemon), finish your turn man !

go on. Grab a turn. Mine crashe´d

Aww darn it. Drinking
Ok, here I go again

Spent the evening making pork pies. Never actually tried making hot water crust dough before and it is hard to get lard for it where I live.
The filling is quite different from the typical brittish pie though. Pork, bellpepper, red onion, garlic, a bit of cabbage and a some tomato puree.
Actually considered filling them with the same filling I usually use for gyoza but ended up with this (I know that atleast someone here most likely eats gyaza)

Anyway, I have gambina (22%) and unfiltered potato wine which I just racked earlier today and kept half a litre for drinking now. Actually it tastes pretty nasty since it hasn't matured yet.
Just downed a glass of gambina and a beer.
Designing my next project while waiting to get drunk since there is no way I would manage to finish it without drowning the whole fort if I didn't.
Yes, I know. Cheating. Planning ahead. Don't worry, there will be more than enough death later on.
Hmm
I think that I will leave the venice thing for the future overseers and build a lake. A like with a fort in the middle. Or is that just a moat?
Yep, I think that it is just a glorified moat. Atleast the future overseers can use it as a water source for their fun little projects.

I would hav preferred taking a turn later on the fort's future since there are not enough dorfs or food etc so i can't concentrate fully on the mining. Darn
Feeling somewhat drunk.
Started making digf orders before I get too drunk.

Here. The moat. Would make it wider. A LOT wider but don't hav eenough miners to do something like that yet.

..I have no idea what I was planning on doing with these
I think that there will be water in hte middle and non-drowning dorfs .. somewhere
Hopefully I will remember or toherwise k will most likely drown the entire undergorund part of the fort.

Hmm.. can I make it collapsable`#` yes, i think i can. Can't use the usual airlock system for magma submnerged collapsable forts since water has pressyre. hmm
Oh well, i thnk i can manage and if i fail nobody will accidently destroy the fort which is good.
I relly should stop making these death levers since they always end up screwing up the fort but WHAT WOULD BE TE POUINT OPTHERSISW?
If you are going to build a large prokect Project you simply HAVE to have a way to collapse it. It is half of the charm.
used the leftover pie filling, egg for glazing it and the afterheat from the oven to make an omelet. Yum

I think that I will have sto slow a bit on the drinking so I can last a whole yer. YEAR
Unpaused the game. It st aerts here.

ordered the wagon to be deconned. it is in the way of the moat. also made the miners dig under 3x3 trees and have the lumberdorfs chop a stairway inside the living thrres

therse will lead to the trees
building a stayrway in the averns to allow digging derper
Also made a path from teh caverns to the trees. Or atleast designeated one

the game keeps crashing
WHY?
it just ekesp crashing
no matter what i do it just crashes
Urgh. Slept a few hours. Feel horriblre.
Got the save forking. It always crashed on a certain date or something but had an earlier save and retired the fort. It works after unretiring.
All the booze was gone though and the drtagon went insane due to teatolatling- All the dig orders are gone too


Ghost. so many chosts.

bloody wereapes
OOK!
OOOK!

Scrufgft is murdereing the chickens. so many dead choickens
kamin, why are you sleeping in the ditch?

waterspoirce for the thirsty byms bums
ugh. dug out spots that were not supposed to be dug. channeling mutliple levels is hard when soemwhat drunk. will build walls

many of our dorgfs are legendary soldiers from the vprevious fort..
multiple kamins..
when did i build all these bedroms+
more wreapes. so much channeling. had to break many walls to reach the spots. will be messy
MINER GHOST BEST GHOST!

siquo, stop playing with the spiderwebns
one prioject level done. many to go
crash
CRASH!
FUU!

I give yup
sleep now. head ruts like hell

*sniff
I miss having a proper, deep and wide dorf-eating river instead of a brook.
Perhaps I'll dig one..

Edit: Argh! Yellow! Too much yellow! The color of the filthy, vomit-inducing sun! Autumn is a horrible time to be a dorf on this site.
What's with all these trees?
Willow, highwood, walnut, plum, birch, peach, persimmon, pine, GINKGO!
Now there's a dorfy tree if there ever was one.
A stubborn remnant from ancient past with seeds that smell like vomit, grows where the hell it damn likes and gives zero shits about stuff like evolution. A living fossil from when there were no bloody elves, murderous carps ..or flowering plants
I like ginkgo. It smells like dorfs

This is now (un)officially the water fortress. In our previous forts we played mostly with magma. Now it is time to use the elf-like, non-alcoholic liquid that can't even power a furnace. But fear not, for we will defile it and mold it into our liking. Artificial lakes, a redirected river, dams, towers of wood, towers made by burrowing inside still living 3x3 highwood tree trunks... Everything the elves hate.
I'll take a turn sometime in the near future

However, all this magma pleases me greatly. There definitely is enough to arouse me... 

..And so Neroaryar played a =Bismuth-bronze trumpet= while watching the fortress burn

also more seriously, that removal of the giant penis was a dick move. Seriously, Scruffy took so much on himself to erect it.

Doesn't really matter. That was an entertaining turn so it was worth it.

Edit: Just checked the save.
It must have taken quite a bit of effort to submerge so many parts of the fort into magma. So many passages, channels and holes to channel the magma into exactly the places it shouldn't end up in. Impressive.
The fort is a lost cause though. The magma is flowing down the main staircase and killing the fps. RIP fps

Oh Shoruke, just one little thing: You channeled magma directly above Scruffeh's sarcophagus but there is one thing you failed to take into account. It is made out of ADAMANTINE! My bones endure! My tomb still stands! The fort will burn but the Scruffeh's corpse is eternal! Mwahaha!
The silver statues are piles of silvery goop though
