Never quite got the hang of this game, even when I had oodles of free time. It is just too much free time needed. But still, someone should stream their Dwarfing! | ||

But, here's something you guys might be interested in. + Show Spoiler + A friend of mine writes (and another friend of mine draws) a Dwarf Fortress Webcomic based off a succession game they did together (only with 2 players). http://www.bravemule.com/matulremrit/ It's essentially a series of diary entries from Dwarfs from a band of bandits called Matul Remrit whom are creating their new home called Bravemule. As such, they have a lot of off-translations to give the Dwarfs some true character. It's been really successful on SomethingAwfuls "lets play" forum, so much so that they even made a huge panorama/video for it and contracted some musician to write a piece for it. + Show Spoiler [My favorite Drawing] + The first death of Matul Remrit. ![[image loading]](http://www.bravemule.com/storage/matul-remrit/obsidian-1051/u12art.jpg) | ||

Sorry, so many things going on at once O.o All I can say for now though, is that we have endured a tragic event, and one of our very special dwarfs is no more. Also, LAVA HAS BEEN FOUND. I'll post my total update some point later tonight. | ||

Edit: ok, two things. The file n3vr sent only works in DF 31_25 and has been changed to the pheobus tileset. ehh what should i do. I pasted it into the base package in the OP and the file didn't work. I also took a look and raws in the region file were changed to Pheobus. When I pasted it into my 31_25 folder it did work. | ||

The very first event of any note came right as I took my seat as ruler, I was presented with an earring made of Galena with intricate carvings and other ornate bits all over, a true artifact. Alas it isn't the most USEFUL of devices, but I'm sure it brings joy to the little crafter that made it. As I was taking my tour of the land, I noticed that a large trade had just transpired, an the liaison wanted a word. He had news the likes of which I've never even heard before. He wished to bring us into their kingdom, with our very own Baron! Very very exciting I'm sure, but in the heat of the moment I had no idea who to pick, who could possibly bring justice to such an honor.....and then it hit me, TnkTed, the First of the Ponies. Surely he could be the grand ruler of us all, seeing as he was one of the first to bring the fort to life. So it was done, TnkTed became the baron, and there was much rejoicing. Although, there wasn't as much as their could have been. TnkTed and our mayor were not the happiest in the bunch due to no real rooms or dining area. Well, I fixed that and gave the mayor his own office/room and the Baron as well, both with a tomb (just in case). Everything was going wonderfully, more drink around then could possibly be finished, endless amounts of lavishly cooked food, and good company all around....and then it was heard. A shrill screech from the underfort depths. A Forgotten Beast, we must have woken it with our celebrations....no matter, this is what our military is for! So I round up all 5 squads and we charge the Beast, it was a massive shrew like thing, except it seemed almost demonic. After fierce battle with many many ferocious dwarfs, the great Axe Lord N3rV took his iron axe, and swung it two finals time. The head of the Beast went sailing off, and the men went for a round of drinks as is their custom after such a battle. As this drama was going on, the Miner's were all off on a mission. Iron ore was the only thing missing from the perfect fortress I was handed, and I wanted to be the leader that found it. So exploratory digging was a near constant for my band of trusty miners. Layer after layer was nothing but copper, tin, and other useless "pretty" metals. Leaving the underfort far above, the miners dug, and dug, and excavated out huge caverns, only to find no iron. Then we made progress of a different kind. A new cavern, bigger and more open than the one above, and crawling with even nastier critters. Well, at least it's something to be thankful for. With a new cavern, a new underfort was in need of digging out and since there's still been no sign of iron ore, the miners could use a good REAL job, instead of digging forever, hoping to find something that just might not even exist. Another dwarf has been muttering to himself about body parts and bones, it's almost worrying to hear him muttering as he wonders the halls searching for something, and looking very strangely at the headless corpse of the Forgotten Beast. A few weeks later, he came to me with something I have never imagined. A pick made of the bones of a Forgotten Beast, decorated and carved with eerie pictures of past artifacts. It's a true artifact, of real worth too, well over 55k. If only I knew how to get one of the miners to use it...T.T Everything was going wonderfully, the first Mandate from the baron was completed quickly, seeing as he just wanted something bronze to look at, the stocks were still booming, except one little problem. Wood. We ran out. 100%. and the Wood cutters were nowhere to be found. Very annoying indeed. But just when it was going to cause some big problems due to running out of coal, a caravan arrives! Just in time. Too bad it's those stupid elves.....and I just tried to trade them some wood....Shit. Ok, let's try something....FORCE. Seized a whole caravan of Elven goods, and all they had to say about it was "well, there's nothing we can do" as my Axe lord and Hammer Lords looked on from the fortress, just in case they wanted to try something. WOOD ACQUIRED! as well as a bunch of other useless stuff. And we didn't even need to sell the THOUSANDS OF ROCK MUGS. Seriously, which ruler decieded it was a good idea to leave "make rock mug R" in the craftshop for like...over a year? Seriously, we have a lot of mugs. AMBUSH!!! AMBUSH!!! GET TO THE GATES! Goblin ambush, only about 5 though, shouldn't be too hard to deal with, just send everybody up to kill em all.... Hmm...Why are you alone out there Kib? Wait Kib....what are you doing, you're alone! Umm...I think Kib was kinda stupid guys, he just ran into 5 goblins, archers and spearmen, by himself, with no weapon. ANOTHER AMBUSH!!! WTF!!?!?!? Ok...nvm 10 goblins are at the gates. (ok for reals guys, I thought I lost the game right here. Shit was going bad, dwarfs were running in single file, and I thought it was gonna get ugly....then the LORDS got to the fight. xD. They kill stuff way better than I thought they would.) A giant battle of blood and guts unfolds at the gates to our keep, and yet we only lose that stupid idiot that charged in alone with no weapon. I'd say thats victory all around. Doo dooo dooooo, dwarfs are workin!!!!! And a lowly mechanic has gone into a very weird mood....wonder what he's thinking about..... Well, the mechanic is back, with probably the worst artifact I've ever seen, although it is amazing to behold....what's the point of making artifact quality mechanisms? Seriously dude, if you're gonna make something amazing...at least make a traction bench or something.....>.< Not much happening, things just settling down, a few critters get killed in the caverns by whichever squad happens to be around, Still not even close to running out of booze and food. The second mandate has come in! 2 anvils are to be made. K this needs to be told out of character. Cause shit went down right here. So, I tell the stupid dwarfs to make some anvils, do some other random designations, and then go out for a smoke to let the dudes work stuff out. I come back down, and TnkTed has been struck with melancholy, and stepped down from his baronship, since for some absurd reason, the dwarfs decided dumping stone out of the mines was more important that making the shit for a mandate. TnkTed died of thirst a few months later. It was a sad time. I decided to rename our replacement chief medical dwarf TnkTed, The Second Coming, in honor of our fallen first leader. Sorry that I killed you bro, but blame the stupid blacksmiths, not me xD. Oh also, we lost a baby. Somebody before me installed some crazy spinning spear training device in a little room, and a dwarf with a baby walked into that room as the lever to make the spears go got pulled. This lead to an impaled baby, and a very sad dwarf. The things that happen in this game O.o Bleh, I lost it, no more in character writing, sorry guys. But in summery I mostly just did a great deal of mining down for iron to no avail, and doing a great of of other digging. got nobles rooms for two people, and a nice little office/bedroom in the back of the underunderfort for the dude I named after myself. I did find a magma see WAYYYYYYY down at around lvl 7 or so (The main fort is somewhere up in the 100s), Started making a larger outer perimeter so the depot is also protected in the future, and created the UnderUnderFort with some bedrooms for special military dwarfs, and I designated a HUGE dormitory floor so that eventually nearly every dwarf will have his own room. Artifacts made under my rule. An earring, a forgotten beast bone pick and some mechanisms (woot!!! >.<) and a glassmaker that's in a mood, who's seriously just sitting at a table, probably crying, since his only enabled profession at the time of the mood was a hauler of random junk (he seriously had not a single thing active, maybe that's why he's not doing anything at all? even though I pretty much turned on every crafting profession?) May the next leader bring even more glory to the fort! Maybe you can figure out some way to get lava to a decent level for a magma forge area. xD Will post a bunch of screen shots tomorrow, don't wanna do a whole bunch of uploading tonight... | ||

Looks like you survived many battles...very nice. It looks like I'll have to continue the game in 31.25 then. I don't think that there's any going back after n3vr changed over to 31.25, if that's ok with tnkted. Don't worry, the tileset thing is really easy to fix. Plus I already use Pheobus myself, it's a pretty awesome tileset. And yeah wow, I was looking around the entire map for sedimentary or extrusive rock to get iron from...and there's none. Obsidian swords then, perhaps, or just adamantine. Embark is so small that I can't scroll in the xy plane, hehe | ||

I'm sorry about messin up btw, was just on auto pilot when I started up, and threw the folder into my regular ole DF folder without a second thought. Hope it all works out. BTW the embark is so TINY. My goodness xD One of my dorm blocks nearly covers the whole map O.o Also I forgot this little gem. At the start there was a MASSIVE stack of caged animals on a single tile, and one day one of them died from hunger. I didn't think that was good, and blamed it on them not having pastures to graze. So I set up a huge plot of land outside for them, and threw them all outside....and they continued to drop off one by one. eventually my field of dozens of animals was nothing but Hs and Ds in the refuse pile. Pastures are a 31.25 thing im pretty sure, so could be why it got all messed up..so sorry I killed all our livestock!!!, oh well, the caves provide more than enough food. | ||

He doesn't even have any friends. He only knows his Gods and his Axe, and those who wise to separate them. Make sure you give yourself an appropriate dwarf/room and such too. | ||

Seriously dude, if you're gonna make something amazing...at least make a traction bench or something.....>.< Artifact mechanisms makes insane weapon traps. It's probably one of the best artifacts to get, not counting armor or weapons. Otherwise, seems like you had a lot of Fun!

Oh well, I don't think its that big of a deal at this point. We'll just continue at .25. Does anyone want to set up the new package? I know that plated.rawr had changed a few raw files that we might have to change back. | ||

Just copy the creature_standard.txt from the old package to the new, both in the Region1-folder's raw/objects and the default DF raw/objects, and the other changes I've made should carry on over as well. Although thinking on it, the d_init.txt changes might be essential as well. Here, copy the d_init.txt from the original package to data/init, and replace the new (31.25) one. I think that should undo any problems. | ||
