What would be really cool is to get a screenshot every once and awhile, and compile them to show the growth of the fortress as an animated GIF or video.
It'd be great if we could use http://mkv25.net/dfma/ for fortress-wide maps, since it'll iterate and save previous versions of the fort.

Users (not just the people uploading the map) can even add points of interest, which is pretty useful.

A common trend in world gen is goblins getting assimilated into dorf civilizations and then massively outbreeding them, resulting in a 'dwarven' civ that contains no dwarves.


Pretty sure that's a factor in what's going on.


And yeah, getting a time-lapse would be cool. Especially a stonesense time lapse, though it would be pretty big.

This, pretty much. Though the metaphor with the syndrome and "washing off the filth" hints that Bronzestabbed probably isn't gonna be the most tolerant fortress around.

Chapter 1

1 Granite 236

All of us were eager to delve but first I put order to the disposition of our provisions and supplies and the livestock.

There is the matter of the horses. I had preferred to bring a mare or two for milk but there were few horses buyable at Shipshook and so I have two geldings. There will be no horse milk cheese but having done their duty with the wagon they will provide meat and skins. I ordered them pastured near the wagon for now until butchery and tannery are ready for their sacrifice.







I was able to procure a turkey hen which will provide eggs once we have a nestbox. It is restrained beside the wagon which I order broken down.



There are pairs of dogs and cats. The cats will roam and do not tolerate restraint despite games otherwise, but the bitch will guard our wagon while dwarves work. The male dog has training for hunting according to Internet Kraken although I do not know what such training entails. Internet Kraken is not permitted yet to hunt because the supply of metal bolts is for protection and war. However I assigned the hunting dog to his care so that the two will bond.









Internet Kraken was pleased and named the dog Urist Kubukuthir. Urist is the most common dwarf name and not a good name for a dog but I will not discourage Internet Kraken over his poor creativity.



Before beginning work I made assignments of administration. I am Expedition Leader which should be obvious but Nettle Soup was somehow surprised at this which is strange but I was too busy to think about it. Bad Munki I made Militia Commander although he is for now the only member of the Militia and must content to command himself.



I made myself also Manager which entails the conception and adminstration of work orders and materials and finished goods. None grumbled for this. Markus_cz I made Chief Medical Dwarf which also was obvious. Nettle Soup I designated Broker which news caused her to smile which is rare for Nettle Soup. I am also Bookkeeper which every dwarf did not want to be therefore it falls to me.



The earth is loam and silt loam and sand. But there are pebbles and cobbles and boulders of limestone as well which is a good sign for prospecting. None of us is skilled with the pick but soil is the easiest to delve. Therefore I took a pick and gave one to Nettle Soup. Vox Nihili will cut wood. Internet Kraken will build a butchery and a tannery that Vox Nihili will design, and scamtank will gather local plants for there are abundant bushes with fruit even in early spring.

Bad Munki will arm himself and protect all. There is no facility yet for training but I advised him to make whatever provision of defense he deems wisest and he informed that he would establish a patrol. Bad Munki also informed he will lead the squadron 'The Stormy Lancers' which is a good military name but I do not understand how one dwarf can be a squad.
“It is so that the Administrator can assign equipment and barracks of course,” he told me, and I admitted that of the military records that I had seen in the past all were arranged thusly although squads always contained more dwarfs. “I assign the copper helm and an axe to The Stormy Lancers” I told him, and marked it on paper, and he was satisfied.




Markus_cz is our Chief Medical Dwarf but there are no injuries or illnesses and every dwarf must labor. Therefore Markus_cz must haul. I informed that my most recent job prior to The Noble Work was cleaning the fishery but Markus_cz was not needful of encouragement.

Having given orders I selected a likely embankment and endeavored to dig.

3rd Granite
On his patrols Bad Munki has spotted wildlife. Internet Kraken and scamtank assist with identification. There is a kestrel and a weasel (which must be kept from the turkey) and there are fish seen in the brook although I forbade close approach of the brook. Vox Nihili tells that where fish live Lorsith watches. Vox is a faithful worshipper of Lorsith but he must not worship at the brook.

Local critters:














Silt loam is soft but my hands are soft also and they blister. Yet this simple labor is pleasing.



6th Granite
We carved into the bank two small rooms and hallways and found only soil. Therefore we cut deeper and made to spiral downward until stone is found. Stone will give security and also mineral wealth.

A butchery and tannery are finished just outside the mine entrance.



Prickle berries and wild strawberries were gathered in small quantity. I ordered stockpiles of food and finished goods indoors.



Deeper digging finds silt loam and loam gives way to sand gives way to sandy clay loam.



8th Granite
Beneath sandy clay loam Nettle Soup and I strike limestone. It is expected given the limestone at the surface but expectation fulfilled is a great satisfaction. Before delving deeper we will attempt to cut blocks for doors and workshops and implements.

In the meantime more space is needed near the tunnel entrance for storage to get things indoors before foul weather spoils or enemy thieves. I sent Nettle Soup above to cut more loam.




16th Granite

A larger space is finished and I ordered all items brought indoors save wood which I desired stockpiled outside the entrance. Animals are re-pastured likewise outside the entrance but without view of the butchery which would be cruel.



Nettle Soup joins me below where we mostly break stone into useless small chunks but have succeeded at two limestone rocks sufficient for construction.



I ordered more room above for workshops: for masonry and carpentry.

The kestrel soars over the tainted land across the brook. Bad Munki jokes perhaps it hunts ghosts but it is not funny.



17th Granite

Cutting north through limestone she struck sand but lacking any order to stop Nettle Soup dug further. It was joyful accident because she struck malachite!




23rd Granite
All cease labors for drink and food. I took opportunity to speak to the six during relaxation at the food stockpile and reflected that this was not dissimilar to my first meeting with Sankis although the facilities were much cruder.

“Today we have found an ore of copper below,” I began, and this news prompted a toast and quaffing. “I need not elaborate the importance,” I continued, “for you all know without supply of metal Bronzestabbed could not endure long.” Dwarves nodded. “There is found here wood and berries and fish and likely game. There is stone and metal. Bronzestabbed has future. Therefore the time has come that I divulge facts which were not explained although with patience you will learn why,” I said, but my desire to speak quickly and thus preempt questioning of withheld knowledge was unfulfilled.

“Is it about goblins?” asked Vox Nihili and I was taken aback.

“Aye, it is, in part, but... how did you know?” I queried. The other dwarves had ceased their chewing and regarded each other and me with faces that admitted mutual prior discussion without my knowing.

“There's dark fortresses out here” scamtank responded. “We passed between two in the late winter. You didn't say anything so we knew you didn't want to talk about it. Found out about them back in Youthmachine. You know. From the foreigners.”

Bad Munki and Internet Kraken nodded to each other and although I was exposed as lacking candidness no dwarf accused.

“Nettle Soup urged trust and patience,” added Vox, and I was thankful to her in my heart for unearned loyalty.

“Well. Yes. We are nearer to dark fortresses than any dwarf should feel comfortable, Tithleth knows. But this is where we have come, and therefore, if the goblins discover us...”

“When they discover us,” interrupted Bad Munki, and I was forced to agree.

“Aye, Bad Munki. In all likelihood goblins will scout us eventually. And when they do, it is our duty to repel them from our threshold, with Etest's favor.” It was not by accident I invoked religion for Gods desire that dwarves be steadfast.

“Why?” asked Markus_cz, quietly. Although he leaned against a barrel in apparent repose it was the question I did not wish to wrestle yet. But I would not lie to them.

“Because the Queen commands it,” I told The Noble Work.

For the first time the six of them recognized the true meaning of our group's name.


1st Slate (mid-spring)
We dug the chamber for the new workshops. While on the top level I noticed dwarves using a hole from the stockpile room to enter and exit. It was my fault because I designated mining which Nettle Soup faithfully followed which made the hole. A limestone block was wedged to fill the gap and no dwarf criticized but I know all saw my error. I must endeavor to do better.



Nettle Soup discussed that at a craftdwarfshop a nest box can be made for the turkey into which she will lay for us eggs. I desired to carve malachite but before smelting must come basic facilities. Therefore I designated more room for workshops and storage. A kitchen for roasts and a brewery must be next as well for raw horse is savage and booze will not last through autumn even with restraint in guzzling.

9th slate
A masonry is prepared. The still and kitchen await construction and there is more room for food storage. I ordered the slaughter of horses. Bad Munki should have armor and the meat stored indoors will not spoil.



I have not kept track of paperwork. During travel I stored records in the wagon but now there is no place. Bad Munki has not complained but I desire that he should have his barracks soon as well for he patrols endlessly in circles. Internet Kraken has no job and therefore as soon as the craftsworks is made I will order wooden bolts. With wooden bolts I will allow hunting. When there is time a fishery may be built although I will restrict Internet Kraken to the nearby pools and not the evil brook along which grow the purple trees. Scamtank called them Glumpwrongs which Vox Nihili agrees (he being the woodcutter must know of wood). I will not order cutting of glumpwrongs for no furniture should be a foul purple hue.

This is great! Let me know what I should send you and I'll be happy to take screenshots.

I do also have Stonesense and it is working. But I hate it: it occludes things, is clunky to work with, and I can never really manage to get a good view of the fortress that doesn't make it look weird and mashed. Also the cartoonishness bugs me and there are some assets without graphics and some labels look weird.

I may still occasionally use Stonesense to give a sense of the fortress if it gets really confusing but mostly I'm going to avoid it. If future overseers want to though, it'll be included in the zip and they're free to use it.

e. pretty much this is the best I can manage:

Chief pioneer said they bruised their heads against the green jinx down below. Copper is almost always a poor sign. Taking the room from all the proper earth wealth and making forts poor and haggardly and elastic against blows.

It makes for not very good weapons. Not very good armor, first stands a hit and then bends like reed. Not very good puzzleboxes. Maybe good carving knives, if they didn't bend so fast. Best for archers, maybe. Heavier than wood. Persuades bronze sometimes to bend too.

Dad did not worry much over the malachite. He gave it to masons for decorative floor blocks. An elf guildsman was soothed with a bin full of offered figurines. A pretty green color. He said it was the noblest of all coppers, it did not taint the earth with its presence alone. The iron and the flux tolerated its company. I only hope we strike more than the green.

Also so I can greet any newcomers!

Also, yay, an axe and a helmet! I think this one brings out my eyes the best.



the secret to getting my hair to do that with a helmet on is that it's actually a pick-over :ssh:

I've updated the third post with fan art, journal entries, and started linking updates.

Ugath really is great. I've found maybe a quarter of dwarven civs in the current version have a dark god among the pantheon. This particular pantheon was one reason why I kept the init strings the same when I was forced to regenerate the world a couple of times: I really liked that there's plenty of gods, some important and some not so much; and of course, Leperfish worships Igest which is completely appropriate.


Boing posted:

Thanks. My personal tendency is towards literalism and anal-retentiveness and detail, and so I tend to reflexively try to incorporate everything in the game. Glossing over something is hard for me: ignoring it (even for good reason) is really hard. So I try to channel those failings into something creative and, periodically, make myself let some things go or I'll never finish.

Dwarves definitely use paper. Small tools and incidental items aren't modeled in DF, but we know they're there. In my case, my dwarf has a portable journal which includes a map - even clay slabs would rapidly become unwieldy, much less stone.

If you like, though, you can imagine that Dwarven Paper is made of felted beard hair and sand cemented together with fungus extract.

I don't think I'll be writing much, I dislike carving my emotions down in stone, but Leperfish has requested some words from each of us, to be carved into the base of the statue we will place before the entrance, and I feel I must lay out my thoughts beforehand.

Upon our arrival here Leperfish designated himself our leader, which - don't tell anyone! - I find rather a relief. I was willing to take the helm if nobody else put themselves forward, but truth be told, I am not a good leader and I trust that he will do well. I have quietly stepped back and instead I have taken up mining and watching out for merchants, carving the halls where many dwarves will live and die and seeing that we become known as good traders. It's rather satisfying and, for now at least, I feel content.

It would be nice if we had some tables and chairs, I would like a desk so I could write more and a chair so I could sit upright, but these things will come in time. For now this short piece has served to settle my mind, and I know now what I shall request for my words on the entrance stone.
