Anyhow really awesome post, its good to see you managed to pick up the wreck left by that last retard who ran that place!

It's not done yet, though. The spears all need to be linked to the second lever in the lever room.
On another note, all the soldiers are wearing full steel armor plus adamantine breastplates. They're all carrying steel warhammers, although they should probably replaced with bronze or copper warhammers since those materials are better for blunt weapons.

But what the fortress really needs is that element of danger...There are no goblins anywhere to be seen so getting sieges is a tad challenging. Sure, there are at least three forgotten beasts lurking around in the caverns, with one of them able to fly and thus go past the protective walls (that was the reason I sent the military down there during the year). (Un)luckily the beast wandered away almost as soon as it came nearby. So it might or might not be still down there.

I do not understand the half of this. But it sounds brilliant.

i vote we start a war with the elves.
I allready chopped down almost all of the forest so we should only claim a couple of their caravans and they will be properly pissed. Possibly killing their merchants >:F

Also according to a friend of mine who is modding the game, shortswords seems to be vastly overpowered and beats any other weapon in combat most of the time according to him.

But shortswords don't launch goblins 5 tiles away when you kill them D:

I'm dead.

Elves! Punch 'em!

Also, who's taking the next year?

by **Grufftoof** Sun Sep 19, 2010 9:47 am

Ok... maybe someone can help. Maybe in PMs. But... how the hell do you play this. When I downloaded it I got a game I could barely understand that was just different coloured text characters on an MSdos thing...

halp

nevermind... I think maybe I have ideas

Head over to http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Main_Page
It's DF player's best friend. I pretty much keep it open all the time while playing.

by **Thenkar** Sun Sep 19, 2010 7:09 pm

A brilliant year!
Also unless there are new meat to step into the game, I can take the next year or so. I cannot promise to complete it in a couple of days, but I doubt time's so much of an issue.
Unless someone butts in or you want to hoard the save, link/deliver it to me and I'll get working. Wink

by **Ralegh** Tue Sep 28, 2010 5:20 pm

Right so whats happening? I just got my internet up over here and im wondering how the fort is going.

by **Thenkar** Tue Sep 28, 2010 5:54 pm

Orh, I haven't got the save yet... I think.
Sorry, it has kinda slipped from the mind.

Lini had the save, yes? I should be reachable by PM, MSN or whatever's the latest fashion.

Edit: Got the save now! Will get to playing it asap and after there's progress, I'll post the juicy stuff here.

by **Ralegh** Wed Oct 13, 2010 11:39 am

are we dead yet?

by **Thenkar** Wed Oct 13, 2010 12:03 pm

Not dead, I'm just a slouch >.<

I've started the year, but University and other evening scheludes have kept me from playing. Also stonesense doesn't work for some reason (first it was because I had the newest version which wasn't supported yet, then I reverted to an earlier one, but it didn't work either!) , so when I post the journal it won't prolly have much of screenshots.

Sorry for being so lazy! I'll pick up the pace today.

by **Saevir** Thu Oct 14, 2010 12:03 am

Aside from WoW, I've been distracted by this.

by **Ralegh** Thu Oct 14, 2010 12:31 am

I really want that game >:O
Wanted it for a while but waiting for a new computer.
As addictive as it seems?

Is running these servers intensive? Would it be possible to get one going dedicated to these forums?

by **Jayse** Thu Oct 14, 2010 2:13 pm

Grand designs! It does look swish. I love the pixelart meets Doom vibe. Very tasty!

by **Lini** Thu Oct 28, 2010 2:30 pm

Seeing as our previous project seems somewhat dead, I'll start a little project of my own in an effort to rekindle interest in this.

First of all: Some Eluveitie. It's what I usually play when doing dwarven stuff.

With that done it's time to announce that
Dwarf Fortress - Page 9 Shitgotreal

because I'll be tackling Genesis Dwarf Fortress. I do this because Dwarf Fortress is FUN.
Dwarf Fortress - Page 9 Casualhardcoredorfs

So...Genesis Dwarf Fortress. What exactly is it?
It has:
- 70+ new unique creatures, 50+ new items, 154 new plants, 76 new trees, ironworks, material overhaul, deadly archery, lots of workshops.
- 9 Dwarf Castes

Spoiler:

- 2 human races (Keepers and Nords), Orcs, 3 elven races (Dusk, Sylvan and Ezrakim), demon overlords (replaces goblins as a race. They have goblins, though), serpentfolk, Illithids, werewolves, dark dwarves, ratmen
AND THEY ALL CAN/WILL SIEGE YOU. Sometimes in the first year.
- New megabeasts and other eldritch horrors.

All in all, there's more of everything and most of it wants you dead.

In addition, I will embark to a site that's as hostile as possible. I won't do a full report of everything the way we've been reporting the previous fortress but I'll make posts of important highlights.

by **Ralegh** Thu Oct 28, 2010 5:34 pm

Wanna supply with a link to genesis?

by **Ironherald** Thu Oct 28, 2010 6:13 pm

I have never seen this game before... BUT I WANT TO PLAY IT!

D0rf fortress I mean, lol. Put off by "steep learning curve" though D:

by **Ralegh** Thu Oct 28, 2010 9:23 pm

Right Iron! DF is just trial and failure! you will have your first forts die from retarded mistakes like floodings, killing of your miner, killing of your miner by flooding him or elephants. But after that its really really really fun.

by **Ironherald** Fri Oct 29, 2010 9:00 am

Might dl it later then Very Happy

Can somebody link the download to the game? And I seem to be finding lots of different versions, is there any specific ones I need to get to play the one with the grapics linked earlier?
