I've been away for the past few days, sorry about that - connection issues. I got the second post updated, along with all journal entries and pictures. Glad to see so many new faces!
And glad to see that Mitch is getting quite the run for his money... lol "This is a boring year, any idea what I should do now that I've accomplished everything I've set out to?" Now I wonder if he'll manage to breach HFS at all during his turn. Epic ambushes, though.
I'd also like to suggest we keep it at 34.07 now that 34.08 is out... Trying to put in minecart tracks at this point would be a brutal task. Just my opinion, though - if I'm voted down I'd be quite happy to see the mayhem that resulted from what was most certainly Mr Frog's and Splint's latest invention.
Look at the room Talvi made for herself when she became overseer!
Stupid backwoods mechanic hick.
It'll be funny if Talvi becomes the overseer everybody hates... lol
Terrahex - awesome entries.
Missed seeing you around - really loved your character. Added a bit of mystery to the fort, in a way, and a lot of fun to allude to. lol And thanks for the nomination.
You're actually trying to stay alive rather than screw over Overseer (N+1) - and yet everything's still going to pot. The game is actively defying your attempts to force order on this hellhole.
I'm nominating this for the quotes section, if anyone will second it.
And Niccolo - those pics menace with giant spikes of !!«WIN»!!.
Added them to the front page.
ThatAussieGuy - it's spikes or spears. You can't put swords in upright spike traps. You could put them in weapon traps and falling on them would have much the same effect - though it would be possible to get something stuck in the gears. It would work as long as you could get mechanics in there to regularly clean out the clogs.
On a side note, I'm making a new mod that aims to make DF as dwarfy, twisted and evil as possible - thinking of calling it "Corpse Fortress" or something. As I told Mr Frog, the backstory is:
ONCE upon a time, there was a god. This god was above all other gods. In fact, had the god been a dog, the other gods would have been his chew toys, but fortunately this god was not a dog, as we wouldn't have been worthy to even be his poo. This god was called Armok, and he reached out his hand over the universe and said, "LET THERE BE LIGHT". And there was light. And Armok saw that it was boring. So again he reached out his hand over the universe and said, "LET THERE BE WAR". And he saw that it was good. Thus war began and never stopped, and his slaves would fight endlessly.
AFTER a time, Armok was bored of the war. "LET THERE BE MORE BLOODSHED", he said, and there was more. And he saw that it was good - but not good enough. "LET THERE BE ENEMIES THAT EAT OTHER ENEMIES," he said, and there were elves. And he saw that he had fucked up. "LET THE ELVES BURN", he said, reaching his hand out over the universe for a fifth time, and the elves burned, as did their forests. And Armok smiled, for he saw that it was good. But then he wanted more. "LET THERE BE !!DISCO!!," he said, and saw that the universe was ruined, and he crumpled it up into a little ball and it was gone from physical existence. And then Armok began anew.
WITH this new world, Armok created no crops or plants, as they were elf-spawning evils in the world. He created hideous beasts to ravage the lands, and fell races to fight over all. He darkened the skies and let the blood rain flow as he ran the previous universe through a juicer. He killed the trees and grass and let foul beasts run over the land, and changed the quieter kinds to be ferocious killing machines. He decreed mightily, "ALL SHALL FIGHT, AND ALL SHALL DIE. YOU ARE BUT GLADIATORS IN MY GRAND ARENA." And the fell creatures of the world listened, and they understood, and went to attack the humans, elves and dwarves, as a huge war raged between all, and all became corrupt. Elf soap was made, and dwarf soap as well, and the throne rooms of the great kings were built of the bones of their enemies. And Armok saw that it was good.
Basically, I'm including "blood yaks" as one of the 50+ added creatures. Walking them through flowing water will do a nice job of getting it bloodied in a hurry.
By the way, did you know that blood and contaminants CANNOT travel down 3(+)z waterfalls? Seriously. And the wiki doesn't mention it. Figured it out while testing the bloodyaks.
Imagine combining the Spawn with Gizogin's CORRUPTS.
Spawn with cooled magma SKIN.
Never heard of his corrupts - do they basically have the same skin as magmamen - i.e. cooled obsidian?
I like the idea of a blood moat, though. It'd be really easy, too, given how much blood we have everywhere. Maybe a whole mini-castle aboveground with ramparts coated in a thick layer of blood. Some monument-building overseer could do that, I suppose...
