Militia Commander Fron with Recruit Kaz, getting ready to get caught in the rain slime.
Welcome to New Blazecook!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a reboot of a human-based fort, now being rebooted with dwarves. It went swimmingly until the game ended up with a persistent crash. Blazecook WAS meant to challenge by building everything above ground, but this time we're going to carve everything from the surface down.
I'm going to be posting yearly updates. My goal is for this to be a multi-generational city, and it should therefore span a few hundred years if possible. Since this is a generational fort, and part of the fun is to trace bloodlines through the ages, I've added the [orientation] tag as per the instructions on the wiki (
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Marriage) to avoid any sudden halts to any favorite genealogies. I play it after work for about an hour. It should be fun to see records of a town from the time of its inception in the year 02.
*There will be no dormitories in Blazecook. Individual homes only.
*Traps will not be used in defense of the city. They may be used in sensitive areas, such as tombs or vaults.
*
Aboveground carved from the living stone farming and building only.
*We have
FOUR BIOMES. One than rains poisonous slime, one that reanimates the dead, one that spawns rhinoceroses and one that is good-aligned and has yet to cause anything horrid.
