Oooh, an actual successful 23a succession game. SIgn me up (yes, I know I'm on a sign up bing on the forums, but I did a long livestream on 23a which ended when I flooded the world by accident)

Coolio.

Also, MoonyTheHuman, where the hell are you? I'm not going to PM you, because I'm getting really sick of PMing people.

Just save a template that you copy+paste. It's what I do for Clobbermountains.

Successful in the sense it's got an active game going. There have been a few attempts to get a 23a game off the ground in the past, but I never saw one actually get going beyond maybe a single update.

Sad, since 23a forts are consistently hilarious owing to the brutal gameplay.

The downside to 23a (at least in a single player game) is I find it gets kinda boring about the time you hit the magma sea, and the interface is extremely tedious at times. I've never managed to "Too Deep" a fortress since "BORED NOW" strikes before I hit the candy.

Fortunately that tends to be mitigated a bit in succession games due to the typical succession fuckery, although when boredom does strike there tends to be very little to do in the meantime.

Maybe have the turns last a shorter amount of time to keep the pace up?  Maybe have tenure be for a season rather than a year?

I think that might be a bit too short.

Personally, I think a year strikes a good balance between playability and turnover, though on rare occassions, I think its important to have more than a year (i.e., fortress reclaims can take more than one. I remember the reclaim of Battlefailed ...)

Moony! Como esta la fortaleza?? (What's up with the fortress??)

Does that make scientific sense? No? Well it's Earth IV and he's a giant crocodile-man. Use your imagination.

So Moony has elected to be skipped, as he apparently has flooded the whole fort in magma (which I'd still like to see screenshots of lol), so  next up is El Rey De Los Monos!

The Journal of reluctant overseer El Rey De Los Monos

My name is El Rey De Los Monos. I am a simple metalworker and my family has lived here for 3 generations but that all changed today.

I woke up this morning to a knock on my head, it was a dwarf with a paper saying that the previous overseer had deserted the fort and the sheriff had decided that I would be the next overseer.
I at first laughed thinking that this was simply some joke but I came to find out that sadly it was not and I would have to lead this fort in spite of every protest.

So today I scouted the fort to see what I could see


and deciding to make the best of a bad situation I ordered larger quarters be made for myself and any following overseers.


I was approched by a farmer who was very proud to announce that was more experienced


Well I shall stop writing here for today and I pray that Armok will come to our aid.




Have been dorfed



sorry for the short post I got a late start today. Also is there a way to zoom out?

Oooh, I'm a noble. Yay. Go make stuff you guys!

YOu can't zoom out "per say", but you can "Export to BMP" on the pause menu, which will dump the entire playable area to a giant file which you can zoom in on. I believe the file lands in in data/saves somewhere.
