Daeren posted:I'd actually love to see this myself, though due to the quantum nature of size in Dwarf Fortress, best demonstrated by a million dragons fitting in one square if 999,999 are laying down, getting the proportions down might be a bit awkward. That's really more a matter of animals than it is structures. I *think* the official measurements for each tile for physics calculations is 2x2x3 meters, but 2x2x2 or 3x3x3 might be better in Minecraft for consistency.

Leperflesh posted:I opened the embark and measured how many tiles across it was. Then divided by three becuase it's a three-wide embark (3 wide 5 tall). Right, but 48 times 2 equals 96. Times 16 is 1536, which means that Bronzestabbed is 6.144 kilometers away from the mountain range. EDIT: Beaten.

Grey Hunter posted:Is it bad that I'm considering the feasiblity of making a scale model of a section of a DF world? I could us max sized embarks to reduce the number of segments. Before you fire up Minecraft, try scratching that itch with IsoWorld, a visualizer tool that lets you explore the entire worldmap after it's been exported into image files. Also, would love if you could give us a shot of the area surrounding the fort with this utility Leperflesh!

Captain_duck posted:Wow i had no idea that could even happen in worldgen. Congratulations on finding such an incredible event in legends mode. The craziest poo poo happens in World Gen if you really start digging through it. Probably the most famous example is Cacame Awemedinade the Immortal Onslaught, High Elf King of the Dwarves and legendary Hammerdwarf. I've seen the reverse of the current situation before: a dark fortress entirely staffed by the descendants of human captors with only a dozen or so goblins remaining.

Hey, can't we just chalk it up to an old married couple trying to re-spark their youthful spirit? Crackmaster and I frolicked in the rain and drank water when it was cleanest while narrowly avoiding uncertain death. If not for adventure, then why come to a newly founded fortress?

 8th Slate I wonder about my legacy. My craft in scopes is ignored by dwarves, and stolen by humans. Maintaining the pumps is work enough, but it never satisfied as the design and fitting of lenses. Still, in my endeavor in folly I discovered dear Sodelimush, which has been reward enough over the years. Perhaps I should change daily schedules? (...) 27th Slate Saw notice for new fortress in Hills of Rewarding. Sodelimush was intrigued. Perhaps we both need a new beginning as we pass the midpoint in our lives. Very few friendships tie us to the Manor of Dawn. Worth further thought. (...) 2nd Malachite Within day's journey of Bronzestabbed, as told by map. Cannot spot outpost in spyglass. Crack continues to dote on Geshud. Glad to see her affection, but I joke that Keet is very tasteful when young. She punches me for that, but it is well deserved. (...) 3rd Malachite Now within halls of Bronzestabbed. Had trouble finding entrance, as there was little to identify. No path, no walls, only doors in dirt. Was some time before a dwarf hailed us to come in. One called Leperfish came and showed us entrance. Fort is young, but shows promise: there is already tin and copper, so Bronzestabbed shall live to its name. Leperfish is leader of expedition. He stares intently when thinking. It unnerved me when questions were asked, so I could not share my expert comedy. He is very friendly though, and I shall attempt expert comedy at a more relaxed time. "Bad Monkey"(?) calls himself captain of guard, even though he is only military dwarf and is merely adequate fighter. Still, he patrols and menaces kangaroo in fields when bored. Told him joke about kangaroos and elephants which made him laugh. We share detest of snails. What are they hiding in those shells? (...) 5th Malachite Went fishing today. Not a worshipper, but made small prayer to Lorsith that she might give up some of her bounty. From the north came a mountainous column of Leperfish calls it "Fiendish Murk", which I find apt. Markus claims it is harmless murk, but I disagree. I do not know the intent of the gods, but murk was filled with evil. What mad fool would decide to settle here? Well, I suppose I am one of those fools for coming. May Sodelimush never encounter that wretched storm. (...) 9th Malachite Leperfish instructed me to construct fishery, which I did without delay. I am only a novice fisherdwarf, but the more experienced Kraken has shirked his duties of construction. I saw him at pond, where he spoke of theories of Murk. I prefer to ignore it now, but Kraken claimed that murk had power to revive a slain dwarf with power threefold. I quipped with expert comedy that we should throw him into the Murk, and then he might learn to build fisheries without shirking. Kraken said nothing and walked back to the fortress. He obviously does not appreciate expert comedy. (...) 24th Malachite Geshud has been pastured with other birds. Growing into a fine young guineacock. Crackmaster often visits him outside of the fort. I continue to joke that he has grown very plump and would make excellent roasts, but I hate for anything to happen to him. Crackmaster would be devastated. Geshud accompanied us while hewing wood. Crackmaster and I took turns felling trees to conserve strength. Bronzestabbed is small, but it will grow and prosper despite threats. As long as I have Crackmaster I will be able to weather the worst murk this land has to offer. (...) 13th Limestone Crisis averted, but narrowly. Crackmaster had gotten into sewer brew while creating more alcohol for the good of the fortress. Must have downed several barrels, because she comes to me mumbling about mosquitoes and "paraphersnailia". She then stumbles full speed toward the exit. I only barely kept pace as Crackmaster dashed to Fadedmaggots. She always ran fast. The rain was pounding, and the Murk billowed. Crackmaster dunked her head into pool closest to stream. Out of breath I took a sip, but water was putrid. Murk swirled around us, but we were somehow spared. I remember whispering thanks to Igest the Silken Embrace for protecting us against Ugath Muckcrypt's fiendish Murk. Was able to drag Crackmaster back to fortress but was reprimanded by Leper. Crackmaster complained of lack of well for drinking. I will accept any punishment from Leperfish, I am merely thankful that my bride is still among the living.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_03F49thJ6s 2nd Granite I have seen fiendish kestrel which now plagues Bronzestabbed. I saw it for only a moment, but was filled with more dread than in all my hundred years. My expert comedy fails me, there was no joy in what I saw. The kestrel... hung. It did not fly, it did not soar. It did not flit, flirt nor hover as birds do. It hung over the savanna lands, as an omen placed by a vengeful god. Its feathers falling out, its eyes milky white. And yet it stared, head downward and still no matter how its body was buffeted by cold winter gust. Kraken intends to slay it. I hold doubts. This is no slavering beast, but a spry omenbird. It will not be easily pierced by arrow or hewn by sword. It watches us now, eyes of Ugath focused on us dwarves that would oppose the evil that inhabits this land.

For anyone interested, the closest parse is nòm-deb (God-eat), but some other fine choices for names include: bunsoth: God-forsaken ugog: bane sog: conquerer noshtath: devourer. zotir: fiend Also, interesting bit in the files: Apparently Ugath is the dwarven word for "belch".

The thread got away from me, and my dwarf got lost in the veritable SEA of migrants, but burning through Bravemule and rereading my early journal entries made me want to try my hand at a little writing again. Hell, I might even start volunteering for Overseer again. Let me just download the latest copy of the fortress to see what my dorf is up to... ninja edit: Or at least I would have, if I hadn't gone missing some time ago. Poor Crackmaster, she's lost her husband, her daughter, and her pet, with nothing left to her but craft. On the plus side though, she saw a nice waterfall recently. Now to try and figure out what happened to me... e1: Legends mode says I died of thirst in the early spring of 244... Yep, LeJackal reported me missing in his Granite 244 update. Now to see if I can find the body. e2: Found him. Next to the front gate, to the immediate right of the old barracks(?). Looks like I got trapped by a sandy loam wall somehow? Not entirely sure how that happened, because I'm drat sure dirt can't be replaced, can it? I guess I'll just haunt you guys instead. Fortunately my expert comedy came with me to the afterlife.
