For some reason my save managed to revert to the mountains. I HAD saved in the fort as I recruited my army, but somehow that disappeared...I'll try again later when my turn comes around.

Posting to watch.

Rogon? I thought he made it alive...

He did. But companions abandoned in adventure mode have  like a 99% death rate afterwards.
Willing to be if oyu went into legends Rogon died to something silly.

I'll quote Ubiq's post again to clear things up:

15. Nish and his remaining comrade trudge on alone. At one point, Nish spies a particularly majestic peak in the distance and makes a detour towards it. Nish Koltulon and Rogon Cavetrails are the first to ever reach the summit of the Plain Thorn, one of the highest peaks in the Bronze Towers. Days later, they reach a small swampy valley and cross it. Tragedy strikes when Rogon drowns during a standard river crossing. In an uncharacteristic moment, Nish chooses to honor his fallen comrade by carrying her corpse and items along with him.********
16. After several days of travelling alone, Nish arrives at Silverysects while muttering about how he is "gonna fly now" and is somewhat annoyed to find nothing there.********* Using campfires, he creates a funeral pyre for his honored comrade Rogon Cavetrails and decides to retire in the area just to see who else shows up.

When I found the burned remains of a human right where I embarked, I had one of those wtf moments. I first thought it was the remains of a caravan or something, but there shouldn't be any caravan remains anywhere since no-one played in fortress mode in the first place... Had to check out the legends mode to find out just who this human was.

okay downloading the  save

With Melkor going, we having only ONE Dwarf left before the end of the list and it repeats.
As such those that died first time around will be gettign a second chance.

In the hopes that we will not need a third or fourth chance... I would like to recomend the following.
"Save Points"

IE: copying the folder detail at certain key points, perhaps after traveling a certain distance.
This is just a suggestion right now in the hopes of providing a means for Dwarves to arrive alive come what may.

If others feel this may 'cheapen' the over all goal too much, please speak up.
If not, this will hopefully ensure that after round two, we will have our Dwarves arriving at the spot to begin our city.

You HAVE to be part of the Watchful Rags, otherwise you won't show up as a migrant to the new fort.

[melkor]

Screenshots are your friend!!!

Go back to adventure mode, and go to the place where you pic what CIv you are from
I may there and just not see it, or know which one it is.
EDIT;
In case it doesn't say The Watchful Rags in the dwarf name is Isdenunib[/i]

Ok good you found it
GOD I hope you have a lot of experiance in Adventure mode.
We have had only ONE person get to the site safely so far

Done something like this before I hope? 

[Mudcrab]

I think save points cheapen the whole affair...

Maybe some more worthy candidates should be allowed to try....... ....

Make sure to record cool parts of the journey with screenshots melkor!

You don't HAVE to start as the same civ we will embark as. As long as you retire in their site, you will become a member of that civ.

[Ubiq]

I just tried this out. Starting as a member of Iton Shetbeth puts you in the Hill of Workers, which is about half as far to travel as from as the starting point for the Watchful Rags.

On the downside, the entire region is choked with rivers that don't freeze at night so you have to swim, which causes a nasty attrition rate for companions. You can skirt around some of them, but there are so many that you eventually get boxed in and have no choice other than swimming. It's also tropical, which means alligators, mambas, and sundry other animals that you don't want anything to do with in Adventure Mode. The region around the starting point in the Nation of Thrones was also rather empty of animals large enough to be butchered so food is going to be a problem for a while unless you run across a herd of wild boars like my test dwarf did. Water isn't as there are streams everywhere.

Choices from there would seem to be: try to make it to the mountain range to the south with at least one companion in tow and skim alongside of it from there west to Silverysects or head to the sea to the northwest and swim across and then try to make it to another human civ in the region. I believe there is one that falls between the Lined Realm where uggi died and the Romantic Empire, which is at the foot of the Bronze Towers. The rivers don't freeze so the sea probably doesn't... hopefully. Freezing seas are absolutely brutal on adventurers thanks to the way that ice walls spring up from the surface during the night.

Anyone hear from Melkor yet?
