Well stuff. I trippedover the power lead while playing, and it unplugged. Computer(it had a brokrn battery) shut down, and i forgot to backup saves. So, notes irrelevant. I'll power through the months, its no problem, but my detailed notes are useless. lesson learned: Watch the cables.

Be very careful. 23a is not kind to saves. If you need to restart, I recommend downloading the ZIP and extracting again.

Ach, I'm sorry about that. 23a just eats saves nonstop.

*catches up*

Nice to see this still burning. An interesting fort with it's own charm. Usually, if a fort doesn't die in first year it manages to go on for quite a while.

And, oh NCommander, I've finally read what you referenced in Breadbowl...flooding the fort with magma to prevent ‼dwarves‼...Then water...Then magma again. No obsidian farms, I guess.

Still, I'm surprised it worked.

You missed the part where we already extinguished it twice (the only reason my turn was savedscummed is because the fort is unreclaimable due to 23a bugs). Also, 23a liquids don't act at all in a way you'd expect. At all. No obsidian casting in this version but you can intentionally cause caveins for more stone.

And then Gwolfski lit the world on fire again. That's just how it goes.

I wonder how the cave-ins work with that multi-level plugin...

save http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=12271
Out of curiosity, I downloaded that save (only 2 living dwarves, lol) and attempted an abandon/reclaim, and it worked without crashing. It's possible the crashiness was a symptom of the fires, and now that everything's been extinguished it's stable again.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Oh goody. How the hell are you managing everything with only two dwarves?

Also: Woohoo! We don't have to be paranoid! Well, any less paranoid than usual...

In other news, 40d mods which involve dwarves dropping dwarfite when they die and kamikaze unicorns (they run at dwarves and then explode) are in progress!

Doesn't that make unicorns less deadly, though?
