Tried out a reclaim of a pre-generated fortress. It appears as if I've encountered a strange glitch where the superfluously common forges contain thrones instead of anvils.
Perhaps, in a time long forgotten, dwarves sat on nice chairs as they sculpted and formed the molten-hot metals with their bare hands.

« on: July 07, 2014, 10:39:58 pm »Found this, thought you folks would see the potential:We should probably wait until he releases at least version 0.40.05 or something around that number before we try any serious succession fortress. Until then, Demongate endures."A sprawling criminal organization has left our people living in fear. They have a town called Sableprophets somewhere in The Stormy Hill."
Wait, this version has the MAFIA in it?
The Dwarf Mafia: Because regular fortresses aren't terrifying enough.
That's right! It appears (I repeat: appears) that the new version has CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS[/i]. When this fort inevitable falls under it's own wait, the future holds MUCH promise, doesn't it?

I was quite impressed with the conversation system. From the looks of all the rumors you can spread, it seems as if one could carefully plan some sort of uprising. As far as the new stealth system, it seems make one even more invisible than the old system. I was travelling to a necromancer tower, sneaked up on the necromancer, threw a sharpened rock, and then the following happened:
She then proceeded to run away and hide in the trees, whilst I stood right under her and tore her to bits.

Corley's Journal
Outer Sedilkosoth
--
I've kept my eye on Sedilkosoth, the underground fortress, for the past few months. It seems that the current overseer of the fortress has her eyes on it as well, though I doubt she knows of its origin or its purpose. I thought, at first, that she sought to seal it up further, as her predecessors had done with the fortifications. I soon came to realize, however, that this one was quite different. She wandered with a sort of curiosity, a longing; she seems almost maddened as she wanders about the halls. Perhaps, she'll soon venture to open the entrance to Inner Sedilkosoth.
I don't know how they managed it so easily, but it appears that they managed to simply flush out most of the corpses that guarded the outer fortress. The scroll speaks only vaguely about these guardians; their origins and affiliations are a complete mystery. They might be servants of the Mask's gods, trying to gain control of the outer layer to bring forth disaster. They could be commanded by Armok, to keep the fortress safe until the time comes. I suppose that it does not matter much at this point in time, but I cannot help but wonder.
When both halves are restored, things can begin. The Ascension Project is nearing its final stages. In fact, I recently received a letter from Leopold claiming the the third, the fourth, and the fifth had been recovered with the help of our collaborators' funding. The fortress will be our gateway into paradise, and I shall ride the Ark and await rebirth with glee. The others here, I presume, will not initially take well to the idea of leaving this world behind, but they have not suffered as I have; they do not yet know.

« on: July 05, 2014, 10:05:44 pm »Yeah, worry not. If Asmoth falters in posting new content from his turn, we'll wrestle the save out of his hands. I'm sure he's working on it, he just has other aspects to his life than this hobby.Whew okay because I was really worried there for a bit and the picture will be up when ever I stop being lazy to post them. Just to let you know they eat guinea pigs down there and I had some.Double post baby! So... this dead or what?Of course not!

I don't think that creatures that happen to be found in the works of Tolkien should be straight-up banned, though there certainly should be restrictions, as there were when this project began. Sentient creatures that exist in ordinary Dwarf Fortress aren't normally allowed, unless they are drastically changed, in the case of the treelords. I agree that one should use his imagination and try to create something other than an orc, though one should be able to take inspiration from mythologies and literature.

Fortunately, Demongate is a big place. Corley could hide anywhere within the walls or amongst the crowd, and the Prayer Group doubtfully find him.

In such a case, re-dwarf me as a male, adult, craftsdwarf (any sort will do). Call him Torvald, a newcomer to the fortress who approaches the overseer, Thane, to ask for his "sister, Gnora." He'll be a fairly laid-back type of guy, though eager to cast his influence over the fortress..
Also, it would be interesting if we could see a write-up of one of the more recent "prayer meets." Considering that Thane has seen several of her former friends die recently, it would be nice to take a glance into her psyche.

Throws something of a wrench into the plans I was formulating for my next turn, which I plan to write-up very extensively. Do you think that there will be a migrant wave any time soon?
