Try 4 and 5 are bust. Lost people very quickly. I can't even get supplies off the wagon when ravens attack within 3 days. At this point, I say, anyone who can make a go of it with the initial deploy, go for it. Anyone with a viable save after a year can be our first. Shall we start a #5? Or re-start with a slightly more hospitable location? Perhaps only partially sinister? Or at least not undead? We may need a different starting loadout if were going into hostile territory from the get-go. | ||

Ideally you'll get a roof overhead as well to deal with flying creatures, then you dig downwards and start excavating and playing as normal. Your dwarves that aren't constructing the enclosure will guard you. You're basically enclosing literally your wagon and a couple down stairs to start things off. Easier to immediately dig down and seal off the surface. Strike the Earth. On July 19 2012 08:36 Obsidian wrote: There is nothing to wall with. There are no stone/wood supplies in the wagon and the clay layer is at least 4Z thick Wagon itself is worth some wood, enough to seal off a tunnel after some frenzied food-dragging belowground. | ||

Yeah that's also an option, if you're in a real rush you can descontruct the wagon, and use one of the three wood to wall yourself in lol | ||

Can't someone get this off the ground? (or, more likely, into it.) | ||

I am fearless! Rough start, did not expect that. Well, I guess 6 military dwarves + miner setups are indeed good... | ||

I ended up getting a wombat that came in, and slowly died to re-animated bits of it, piece by piece. Reanimated Horse Hair killed my Spearman... really... Note to Dev. Add 'Torches' and Funeral Pyres for quick disposal of corpse bits. Patches of 'ghostly' skin killed a few of my dwarves too. Oh great, said patch of skin just earned itself a name... Fastamtomus | ||

iGrok, you can push me back in the list if you need too. I can't get a start up with our current embark. | ||

Tell you what, since I've already got a functional start, I'll jsut take the first year and you take the second. Worst case scenario, everyone dies of thirst and we have to start over anyways right?! | ||
