Hey, I'm new to here (and just read through Deathgate in about two days) and I have a small birthday present.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Deathgate in Minecraft!

I used DF2Minecraft in DFhack and produced a usable Alpha map of Deathgate for exploring. I haven't explored much yet, but I'm sure it will be properly epic.

The save file:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18948156/World1.7z
So, if anyone wants to see more, just tell me and I'll take some more pics, and post the Cartograph as well.

Sha-weet.  Give us a tour!

Quick, check him for rum! The bastard's probably spirited some off to his lair office, to act as pleasant refreshment as his evil scheme unfolds!

Damn. It stopped the gen at exactly ONE level above the Deathgate logo.  :(
Sooo...yeah. I can't explore DF hell in Minecraft until the wonderful people at DFHack update the converter to use the latest map format (which adds a huge height increase, enough to get down to hell).

For what it's worth, my next and final update should be up by the end of tuesday.

Also, post up if you get the entire map genned. I'd love to explore =D

Gah... took forever. I think I'll actually have time to take my turn. I hope things haven't (chuckle) gone to hell since I've been gone.
This is my 3rd turn attempt, but the third time's the charm!

Yeah. As it stands, the whole thing is playable down to exactly one z-level above the colossal demon face. If you have a copy of Minecraft and MCNostalgia (accept no substitutes, they don't work) you can explore most of the fortress.

On a side note, does anyone remember if either BATTEREY or BATTERY had a hotkey, or even where they were? I'm trying to get some pictures in Minecraft.

For added effect, play the DeathGate in Minecraft save with this mod installed.

Glad to be of service.
Does anyone want the new save? Fully updated for the latest MC version.

My apologies, everyone. I have completed the year, but apparently I have to go "right now," so the writeup will have to wait until tomorrow, probably around 5-ish. Again, very sorry.

OOC: I apologize in advance for the anticlimax. Winter was not very eventful, to say the least.

Winter has opened in a great way! Some pleb or another got down to the trade depot at last, and trading commenced! As per the last round of trading, we basically traded our depot for their wagon. And much mirth was to be had! Dear ARMOK I hope some migrants come in the spring. Anyway, they skidaddled very soon thereafter, going off to parts unknown.

On an equally happy note, my tomb has been completed! Now I shall not have to suffer the spirits of these peasants in my death, being interred instead in the bowels of Hell, directing the actions of those there from beyond the veil.

Also, some rogue spirit possessed a hauler. He ran around, put a sticky-note on a mason's shop reading "Etur's" and ran off in search of materials. Very...expensive materials. He darn well better make something useful!

To pass the time, I ordered someone to bring me another iced rum, and did some exercises with my spear. I've promoted myself to Captain of the Militia, so I'd best be in-shape.

---------

That bloody plebian got finished with is work today. You know what it was? A QUERN! Made out of ADAMANTINE! That lousy little...I've just sent some soldiers to give him a severe beating. They should be back any minute now. In fact, those footsteps behind me are surely th




The journal ends here suddenly, and does not pick up for another few months. It seems that there was a small insurrection, and Scaliper II was locked in jail, for "Bein' a despotic prick, the arsehole" according to official records. While he remained captain of the militia, rule of the fortress was turned over to someone assumed to be a more reasonable leader.



Well, that ends my turn. Winter turned out to be much less eventful than I had hoped, but whatever. In the meantime, I'll be handing the save over as soon as I get it uploaded(just a couple minutes).

Note to the next overlord:

For the love of beards, Armok, and all that is dwarvenly, do NOT let the military get into a fight any time soon. They're still almost exclusively below second level of skill in anything combat related. On the bright side, the bunker is clear to build in as you see fit. Also, don't mess with my room or tomb!
