Run into a clearing containing two rares, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Lure off the first rare, kill it in the nearby passages using a well placed turtle and a hydra.

Fight my way back up the passage, through a seemingly endless tide of monsters, until I get back to the other rare.

'Summoned a hydra!' - so that's where they're all coming from.
But wait a minute - summoned. And I'm a summoner. Surely I can do something here.

(This happened a while ago, but I'll post anyway)
I was really bored, so I kept committing petty crimes such as streaking, and stealing, trapping people in closets etc. The security was getting pretty mad, so I put on a balaclava and did more stuff. Security caught me again, and hauled me to the brig, again. Strapping me to the bed, he took off the balaclava and saw that it was me. Upon doing this he unbuckled me and pushed me out the door.

"Hey, what gives?" I asked.

"I haven't got time for you," he replied.

I didn't own in any real way, but I felt like I did because lulz.

Small trap fence, in the span of about one season, has claimed: 2 bears, at least one each of elk, reindeer, and stag, and this one particular wolf that's been harassing me.

Currently got at least 350 units of meat and fish smoked or being smoked, and within a few weeks will be able to harvest hundreds of lake reed. Currently making bowls to hold all the flour from that(...you can grind that, right?).

Also recently discovered an entire herd of reindeer, and hopefully will be able to trap their area.

Life is currently good.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

In what kind of location have you built the fence?

Hate to inconvenience you in anyway, but I must ask.

Is it possible to upload that save to somewhere and share hehe.

Can never get started up and personally, I'd find this save to be a nice save to learn about the game in :P

A diagonal chokepoint at the end of a lake where the water sticks out a little. It's not very long, about 100 meters or so, with about 9 pits every four or five pieces of fence.

Best starting scenario is I Want to be a Fisherman. It gives you a free fishing rod and 2 nets right at the start. Also take the basic game course as that eventually gives you free: fresh pike(to cook), handaxe(very very good if you don't start with one), fishing rod(in case you don't use the above scenario), shovel(you can make a wooden one but it sucks), and seeds(comes with the shovel).

I've good luck starting as a Kiesseläiset or Reemiläiset. Decent skills and equipment. I've seen a lot of people saying Driik is a good start, but they have horrible starting skills, which can kill you.

Driik is the worst clan to start as. It has no bonus, and crappy skills (the only good Driiks are the ones you trade with). The best is still Kaumo (though some clans are better at one task, Kaumo is the best all around).

Just liberated and rebuilt a zombie-stricken city, pulling together a skilled group of survivors, and even found a cure for the virus along the way. Also built lots of bars, and once things settled down a bit I spent my days tending one, as the others fought of zombies, took down a large gang of marauders, and generally saved the world.
Now, me and my core crew of comrades are carrying on to the closest city to create another safe haven there. Wish us luck, looks harder this time!

After a rough start that only got MORE rough as time went on, We're finally fighting back. Even with the Ethereals and their damn psionic powers.

Not actually a *own* but the map generator gave me something that might well be in the future...

With some trimming I will get something out of it.

And so, as the drone lit up its laser cannon, Colonel Viktor 'Duke Nukem' Golubey, recalled the events that led to this event, in a vain attempt to bring him joy in the final minute of his life. His squad, wiped out, he fled to the roofs as they died. Sure, he picked off the odd few, but was he doing his part?

He was to himself. The drone however hesitated and in that time he grabbed his plasma rifle and in one swift motion destroyed it. It falling to the ground, crackling with electricity. He smiled and clutched his wounds as he descended, reporting to the Skyranger.
