Brilliant, brilliant story. Even if this is the end, as it looks, what a lovely end to a story about a Dwarf Fortress- success. You have achieved what nobody thought possible.

Any thoughts on how this can be abused?
Around these parts It's called weaponized.

Alright, getting back into the swing of Battlefailed now. This post covers just the first season of year 525. More to follow soon.

Year 525


I haven't read the original Battlefailed or this thread but this has got to be one of the finest posts i've ever read.

Well, how embarrassing and humbling.

I'm very sorry everyone, I had no idea my reclaim effort was continuing to be so popular. Back when Toady released a new version of DF with a pile of new things, I started a new fort on the side and kind of got distracted from Battlefailed and then my RL job reared up with a bunch of interruptions and I got distracted from DF altogether for a while. I've been getting back into it again lately and a friend of mine, whom I had mentioned the Battlefailed story to, told me to come check up on this thread.

I guess I owe it to everyone big time to get back to work on that old cesspit again, eh? :)

Part of the reason I drifted off might be that I'd overcome all of the main challenges I'd been facing - cleaning the place, killing the beasts, repairing and enhancing FAILCANNON. I'll take a look around the fort with fresh eyes and see what new challenges I can present myself with.

Hooray!

If nothing else arises as a challenge for Battlefailed: Open the clowncar and colonize it?

ive gotten in the habit of replacing my chief medical dwarf as soon as he gains any notable skill in diagnosis.
It's really funny watching them do unnecessary surgery because of a wrong diagnosis.

the conditions were bad enough to turn a dwarf who didn't care about anything mad, that's pretty hardcore.

If there was a way to report a lack of posting in this forum, it would have been done long ago.

Brilliant writing (now off to read the original Battlefailed story. :) )

I don't think any of us could match Bryan's skill at writing... >_> I'd feel too inadequate to do a succession fort.

After seven days and seven nights, God said "Screw this!" and abandoned the fortress.

I can't help but think this has died again.

Nope, just some of the busy scheduleitis that caused the first hiatus still holding me back. Sorry about that. :)

I've finished another half year and will hopefully be able to write it up and post it tomorrow. As a sneak preview: a siege came and I fired FAILCANNON in anger, discovering a subtle and frustrating design flaw in the process. Work is now ongoing to fix it. And I've also started a new round of experiments with dwarf-cleaning technologies.

The Pilot and their cargo handlers paused when they saw that the entire camp is covered in eldritch runes coated in blood. And rotting monkey corpses everywhere..

They decide that they didn't get paid enough for this..
