DWARVES ARE AVAILABLE NOW! ORDER IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES, AND NOTHING WILL CHANGE!
Sorry Mido, but it seems like refering to the great forts will generate interest. Once the story gets going, I'll change the name (a la Nist).
Digressing from that, I have decided to start another community fortress. It will be my first as well. I am currently in middle spring of the second year. The elves have been traded with while we have only two fall migrants plus the origional seven. Rackvipers is a forest map. The main entrance is located near a brook and is defended by a moat and Two flinging bridges. There is a volcano that I'm going to carefully connect to once the caravan brings me some steel.
As a note, I don't really know how these fourms work. If someone wants to tell me how to post a map I will. Addidtionally, I won't update too often. I do however, read most of the fourms every day.
Now then, the goals. I seek to build the most magnificent fort, gold panneled walls and the whole nine yards. We will be doing this by coping Nist Akath. We will do one or two wierd projects at a time. If you have any suggestions, post them!
1) Build infastructure (more dwarves, food ect.)
After this we'll have to decide the next project.
Some possibilities:
Rose Gold Tower with purple gem windows (Everything will have to be imported.)
Obsidian Castle (Sorta cliche though)
Tests for Dwarven Science (Cryogenic freezing!)
Neferious traps.
Fun with bridges.
*Goblin Pinball.
**Goblin go Round.
*Somehow build a system that will have bridges continually flinging gobs back and forth.
**A system that will drop someone into a hole. They will walk to the exit but a trap will block the exit and reveal another one. They walk twords that one and the process repeats.
Current available dwarves: 2 miners/minor masons, 1 mason/minor miner,1 famer/proficent brewer, 1 farmer/idiot cook, one carpenter/wookcutter/stonecrafter/leathercrafter. 1 mechanic/siege operator who is being used for cloth, dying, and glove making right now.
Reserved dwarves are one adept mechanic/record keeper/trader and one peasnt who will be given a crossbow shortly. I like these two.
Please comment!
