In on the ground floor!

Also, did you pick my dorf or did you randomly select one with good willpower and focus, but poor ability at words?

Does StoneSense work yet in this version? I don't use it myself but it would be cool to get a 3d picture of the landscape that the fort will be situated on. Assuming that cliff isn't just 1 zlevel high.

If I can get the save at some point. I can make a 3rd render of the terrain.

I blame Gray Hunter's insufficient grasp of the English language.

It's Grey you Yankee fool. You can't even spell a simple colour correctly! Honour and Valour are beyond you!

Err.... Spelling and Grammer are two different things?

Sometimes I spell poorly, sometimes I make jokes about spelling badly.

I'm defiantly sure this is a derail though.......

Well, I go on holiday for a week, come back to find out I've been made leader, beaten the crap out of the first person to complain to me and then fail to get elected as mayor!

I have no idea why people are not voting for me!

Legends are so :black101:

Yeah, I sometimes wonder if we should do a historian LP at some point, just spend time dicking around in a world learning its history - no forts, just adventurers, maps and stories from legends.

I could take a bash at turning a DF map into something more realistic, and then we would be able to link places and people to locations on a map, track their movements and see how good a world DF has really generated.

People of a more violent bent could go around collecting artifacts from the past as well, as well as giving a fitting end to the various badasses.

This is great. I love how there's pretty much a wall of red which ends abruptly when Veloxyll shows up. I have certainly left my mark on Fogwall. :D

To be fair, you did get hit by the 1st year siege bug - not that it made it any less entertaining.

I swear, half the reasons we play DF are for the interesting bugs....

I'll just Nth what a lot of people are saying, I'm here for the story, not the blow by blow combat logs. Once I see a page of timg'd writing I kinda give up. Try switching up to descriptive combat with the ocassional combat log. We need to feel the flow of combat, not how many teeth some goblin just had knocked out.

As I ponder this, Grey Hunter and Jamsque both confront Excelzior in the stockpiles


After a brief, but vicious, exchange of blows, Grey Hunter falls.


Grey Hunter absolutely left a mark on the berserk murderer though


Grey Hunter’s attacks proved fatal. Excelzior bleeds out shortly after

Oh that's right, deal with some constructive criticism like a man/woman why don't you! 'Tis murder I say!

At least dorf me got a few hits in.

I keep wondering if I should do the base work for a Dwarf fortress historical LP, where, instead of a fortress, we explore the world and turn the random data lines into actual stories. (Using the game to show the places of interest of course.)

The game really needs to give seigers the ability to destroy walls, it would shake the game up so much.
