Well that ended with a whole heap of fun. All the dwarf were either asleep or wounded so no one went to close the tower bridges . The next person should probably just replay that year.


;_; that's bad luck man. Is there any secondary barricade, doors, etc?

The tower was the secondary barricade and the doors got smashed down.

If they don't have Cave Dragons or building destroyers we should be okay, right? We can just lock the doors and cower.

Even with building destroyers, the outer bridge has a moat. Although... does water 1 Zlevel down that freezes in the channel replace the floor tile? Looks like it did. Hm.

I guess it's moot now.

if you want, imallinson, maybe give your turn another try? I don't feel quite ready to give up on skyhall, but I wouldn't mind starting a new fort either.

Yep, three sieges, two forgotten beasts and one ambush in a year. Even drafting all the adult dwarves into the military wasn't enough. It's definitely the most FUN filled year I've ever played.

I'll let the next person give that year another go if they want. I'm happy to just sit back and watch the chaos.

No reloading imo!

Just start a new one.

What destroyed our main bridge in the first place, will remain a mystery, I guess.
It's just bad luck, that we were assaulted in the time between rebuilding the thing and linking it to a lever..

Perhaps our future fort (should we choose that option) should be Skyhall 2.0. Totally above ground except for mines!

Keep going with a new fort! No living in the past.

I think maybe you guys should ease up the labor restriction a bit though as it seems like the dwarves' inefficiency is really costing you.

Maybe something like, "A dwarf's highest non-military skill must remain active"

I'm completely ok with this.

Plus, this means that with careful managing, its possible to eventually deactivate that skill (since the one you want will grow higher).

I'd rather just have control over the main 7, and any future overlords. Oft-times dwarves will come in with truely worthless skills, why not just relegate them to a new job and run from there? Plus, fishing dwarves are pointless if the environ doesn't support them, hunting too can cause problems in some environs.

Yeah but the idea of restricting labor is to make things somewhat less efficient so the fort has more hiccups and issues. Without any restriction it's not that hard to put together a well running fort where nothing all that interesting happens besides poor military choices.

But... yeah fishing/hunting and some other labors make too many dwarves too useless. Especially when you need stuff like idle dwarves to pull levers or give water*. By letting people turn off the older less used roles you can retrain dwarves, but it'll take a while since they'll split their time between their highest skill and what you want them to do.

*though my restriction doesn't solve that completely either
