[Zaerosz]

A little cottage by the sea, a garden of my own, a few pets to keep me company... I've always wanted a simple, solitary life, you know? I had a location picked out and everything, so I went to ask the overseer if I could go, and joy of joys, he said yes!

Then he packed me up with these other nine prats and told me to start exporting gourmet foods. Dammit.


Got bored, figured a succession game might be interesting. Using vanilla DF plus SethCreiyd's Flora and Fauna pack and a few tweaks of my own, embarking with ten dwarves on a tropical ocean/temperate savannah via DFusion.

DA RULES:

• Play one year, as per the usual, and document it in-character. With images, preferably.
• Please try not to bugger up other people's projects? This isn't Failcannon, folks.
• At the end of your turn, you can leave a challenge for other overseers to complete if you so desire.
• Please no Shaft of Enlightenment unless we're in severe danger of getting completely sodomized by an invading force with more members than our entire fort. Danger rooms, sure, but the Shaft is a bit too much.
• Dwarf Therapist is highly recommended, and DFHack tools digv, clean, fixdiplomats, fixmerchants, showmood and siren are permitted.
• EDIT: DFHACK IS NOW REQUIRED, AND THIS FILE MUST BE ADDED TO THE SAVE'S /RAW FOLDER (NOT /RAW/OBJECTS, SPECIFICALLY THE /RAW FOLDER). FAILURE TO USE THIS FILE WILL RESULT IN 90% OF CREATURES BORN DURING GAMEPLAY NEVER INCREASING IN SIZE. THANKS TO PUTNAM FOR MAKING THIS FIX. FEEL FREE TO USE THIS FILE IN ANY OTHER SAVES AS WELL.

[Icecoon]

Hey. Never played a succession fort, but I want to try.

Stodir "Icecoon" Martyrwind : Butcher: 1, Diagnostician: 2, Wound Dresser:2,  Suturer: 1

Since we are starting in a coastal region, I guess there will be an aquifer layer underground.

[than402]

that sounds interesting.

Mosus "Crazyduck" Crystaltempted:Brewer: 1, Armorer: 2, Blacksmith:2,  Furnace operator: 1

i don't have much experience on aquifiers,but it's worth a try

[escondida]

Hey, can I have Uzol "escondida" Whirledurns? Either planter/mechanic (profession: biological engineer) or mechanic/wrestler (profession: trappist monk)...or , y'know, whatever professions are needed to fill out the embark team.

I can take a turn whenever.

[Zaerosz]

Just checking, are Icecoon and Crazyduck intending to take a turn, or is Escondida at the top of the list?

[than402]

Yeah,give me a turn

[escondida]

Hehe, I hope so, because as much as I like utilizing aquifers for civil and military projects...getting *through* aquifers is a royal pain and I am lazy.

[Hounskull]

I'd like to claim a founding dwarf c:
Female, if you please, and whatever skills you feel are necessary it doesn't really bother me.
Just call her Houn or whatever ahah.

[Zaerosz]

That leaves five dwarves open, folks, we gotta have all ten accounted for before we start.

[Icecoon]

Just checking, are Icecoon and Crazyduck intending to take a turn, or is Escondida at the top of the list?

Oh yes, I want a turn.

[Beneviento]

I'll take Sarvesh "Benev" Castledangles, with hunting skills perhaps? If not, whatever's needed would be fine.

[Hounskull]

aayyyy Zae and I decided it'd be cool to have some drawings of important dwarves and stupid things that happen, so I've drawn the five claimed dwarves so far. Will probably do more tomorrow when more are claimed.
In order from left to right, Crazyduck, Escondida, Icecoon, Zae, and myself. Based it on the dwarf descriptions. Icecoon scares me a little why did she have to be a butcher AND a surgeon I feel intimidated. And I don't really know what happened to me. Apparently I was once thin, and then just got really fat so. Um. I'll try not to eat all your adamantine wafers I guess.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

ALSO YOU ALL HAVE FUCKING SANDY TAUPE SKIN I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF SANDY TAUPE OH MY GOD

[than402]

these look really cool,houndskull

got to love how genetics work in dwarf fortress.

[Hounskull]

thankyou! c:
and yeah they all have sandy taupe skin and silver eyes. iwjeskd. at least there's a little variation with the hair. and there'll be more when migrants come!

Wow, nice.

Also she has to be a butcher, because she learned the majority of her healthcare skills from butchering animals. And .. it sounds cool
