I'd love to go after Corai, if nobody has already claimed the slot.

you mean like go after him with crossbow and axe or.... well, how else would you go after a kobold?

[Phones]

Nish didn't seem to have any problems with the weather while walking around. It rained on him once or twice and he didn't melt.

Far as Embark Anywhere goes, no idea as I don't use any utilities besides Perfect World.

How are you at breaching aquifers in a biome that doesn't freeze by the way? The layer stone in the vicinity of the Watchful Rags is conglomerate.

We may want to do some test runs using perfect world, seeing if we can embark on the mountain home without issue.

Also Aquifer should not be a problem. I often find in mountain areas there is a way past the aquifer.  Usually they do not go too far into a mountain.  If they do...
Well I don't know if it still works, but if you carve out a large block and let it drop, dows it still puncture through the layer allowing you to dig inside?

Also Niyazov...
The current list is on the front page, right now it is closed sadly.
If someone drops out or skips a turn a slot may open up.

Pretty sure the Aquifer thing still works.

Also I'm ready to go whenever really if you guys want to jump out of order or we are a stand still sometime before me and after Corai.

Fen is up after Corai.

Hey, wait, if we use Embark Anywhere on the site of the Mountainhome, wouldn't Nish and his future colleagues be Friendly locals rather than actual members of the fortress?

[uggi]

Why would we even need the Embark Anywhere utility? We're going to embark in the valley, right? The place is already embarkable. Or are you thinking of embarking on top of one of the existing mountain halls south of the valley?

I think the idea is to embark as part of the same civ but somewhere else and let the adventurers arrive as migrants.

I thought that was the plan as well, but then:

When the time finally comes to embark on the mountainhome and start the fort off... Obviouslly we will need to use the 'Embark Anywhere' mod.

Unless Crossroads just means that we're going to create a mountainhome in the mountains next to the Valley of the Dwarves as there is an area just to the west that has a massive river canyon if I recall correctly. I don't know for sure as I didn't actually go into the Bronze Towers until I realized that I was at the bottom edge of said valley and was well south of where that canyon would be.

[Crossroads Inc.]

Just to clear a few things up...
First off, while I made the mistake of skipping Fen to Corai, we are following the following list:
#1 Orky_Boss: DEAD
#2 Reudh: DEAD
#3 Ubiq: SUCCESS!
#4 Corai: (asked to be passed for now)
#5 Fen: NEXT http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=6269
#6 Torrasque666:
#7 melkor:
#8 uggi DEAD
#9 Phones
# last spot Crossroads

Right now the list is closed, but may open up again if we need more people.
The goal is to get Seven dwarves alive to them mountain home and retire.

On THAT topic... Originally the first creation of the world had the mountain home  INISDE "the Valley of The Dwarves"
Thats how it got it's name.  However, due to my oversight, the original world had incredibly low minerals.
It was Re-Genned, however the placements of civs was moved around. Instead of being inside the Valley itself, the first Dwarf Civ was created to the south, in the mountain area where Ubiq successfully settled.

That is the reason why we will be using Embark Anywhere...
The reason why we are getting Dwarves TO this area is in the hopes that, when the fort starts up, they shall come in as migrants to settle in the fort itself.
However, this may not be needed.  The reason for founding the fort on the spot where the Dwarves retire is to, assumedly, provide a better chance for them to be migrants.
However if we have an equally good chance of getting them no matter where we settle, as long as it is in the area, then we may indeed settle in the "valley of the Dwarves" as originally planed.

The question now is weather it makes a difference settling in the same spot where our Brave Warriors are retiring.

The "Plot" of the "DWARVES AT THE DWAN OF TIME" game is basically the story of the FIRST Dwarf Fortress, and the 7 legendary warrios who started it

[Crossroads Inc.]

Just a heads up, got a message from Corai, He is pretty busy but said he does still want to do his turn, so sadly just have to wait right now.

[Crossroads Inc.]

Not to bump the bump, but just got another PM from Corai.
Seem Work and Real Life is a bit too much right now so he is passing his spot for now.

FEN you are once more up to bat!

Hello this is my first time posting. I've been playing dwarf fortress for a few years now, figured I would stop lurking around the forums. I'm gonna take a run at this myself since it is fascinating me so much. I think there is enough people queued up in the line, but if you need another person let me know.

[Crossroads Inc.]

thank you for the enthusiasm.  Thrilled to know it was this thread to pull you out of lurking
Sadly there are quite a few people in line.  There may be a spot open at some point.
My advice is practice some adventuring... But NOT On the map itself!
As uggi found it, it would be terrible for oyu to do some Epic Heroic task, and then not have it be able to be recorded into history!

[Fen]

Downloading now, going to get started and keep you guys posted as I can.
Here's to glory; dead, alive, or somewhere in-between.

[Crossroads Inc.]

Well for Armoks sake BE CAREFULL
We only have ONE that has made it there alive so far.
Be sure to follow ubiqs advice and try and stay alive!

[Reudh]

Even if your character loses limbs, it's not the end!


As long as you get to the mountainhome intact, then that's a success!

[Fen]

Here we go, as per tradition, I have custom named and titled my character.

Also he is absolutely atrocious at anything to do with society. I like to imagine he doesn't talk to people, but rather screams at them, shakes his spear in their face, and wanders off to try and kill something.
