dwarf fortress is a cool and fun game, and i havent pllayed it for years, so i guess toady has added a bunch of cool stuff like oral hygiene or testicular torsion to the game.

thing is, its always more fun to play w/ friends and pass around a save, like they did with boatmurdered back in the day

anyone here actually know the basics of playing it and want to manage a fortess full of depressed addicts for a while b4 passing it on to the next in line (JUST LIKE BEING IK IN BYOB LOLOLOLOL!!!!)?

maybe we'll also get some fun writing and/or artwork out of it, who knows!?

I played this game poorly a while back and would love to mess up your save or give you a junk base!

I was always impressed by the screens in the boatmurdered thread

more beasts more savagery. I want to tame giant frogs and fight dragons.

just used the first random fortress name but change the first word to "chill"

that's my 2 cents

I will meet you halfway on the savagery, beasts moved to high savagery moved to medium.

I guarantee we will die off in year two or three so we can start again too if there's still interest

for sure

i'll find out how to share the game files here shortly unless a crafty person has some tips

MrWillsauce

zip up the save and put it on mediafire or dropbox or something. Or just email it



vanisher

welcome to Ngutegsil, "The Cyclopean Plane"



I'm going to go with these settings unless we have other plans:



This is a contender site!


any requests for jobs?


I'm sure we need:
a couple miners
a carpenter and a mason (key for beds, tables, doors, nick-nacks to trade)
a farmer (grower)
probably a cook/brewer

Seriously veto any of this and I won't be offended, it's been forever since I've played and I'm not great

also i'll make sure to add the others who posted here or want a dwarf named after them once new recruits arrive!

we've got that river, I like to run it into the fort with bridges all over for safety, then we have a huge pool of water that we draw wells into from within the fortress if it will stay there

I haven't played too many hot biomes

e: let's go with Chillheads for the name? Ironic since we will be hotter than heck in our biome

i only did it the once, and it was ages ago, but iirc the evaporation makes it hard to fill a cistern off of the river. things shouldn't be bad though, i just know that alcohol is something I always forget until it's too late lol

Our journey begins with seven travelers, friends only through necessity at this point, escaping a prison of monotony and meaningless existence in the mountainhomes to risk it all, even their very lives, to become something greater. They name their band "The Bold Breakfast" and step out onto the trail. Many months of marching land them in a sweltering camp next to a river and a mountainside. They dub the location ironically Chillheads, due to Nosfereefer getting upset over the choice of items stockpiled.

What was left was a large pile of seeds, several battleaxes, plump helmet spawn to feed them for many months, and four animals. Two bunnies and two ducks, of each gender.

They began by carving a passageway into the mountain to secure their valuables and also out a trench for a future water source entering the Chillhead camp. Their goal being a series of farm plots with on/off flood switches to secure a safe and stable food source for years to come.



mrbradleymrmartin, vanisher, and urodov are our designated miners and begin work immediately to secure a safehouse for our goods. Urodov strikes Orthoclase, a common stone, and lust of richer gems flash in the eyes of the three dwarves, quickly becoming friends in their hard labors. This initial dig is likely the beginning of a lifetime of digging. The three heft their copper pickaxes steadily, making the most of their strength, progressing through the rockface, each equipped with a steady battleaxe at their side.

The stones clutter their feet, and a stockpile is made outside for the other dwarves to begin hauling the boulders from their new home.
Thingyman, joke_explainer, MrWillsauce, and Nosfereefer will have to find meaning in this menial labor until more rewarding tasks are available. Hopefully new recruits will come who can handle this grunt work, but for now our seven will have to make do.

Quickly, our Mason, joke_explainer, is fed up with hauling stones and decides to set up a workshop to make some doors. MrBradleyMrMartin strikes native silver and loses his poo poo. Patience! We can't even do anything with it yet.

The days blend together as our seven friends work to set up even the most basic of living arrangements.







After making three of the shittiest doors you can imagine joke_explainer (the bright yellow dwarf) decides she's (plot twist) done for the day and kicks back with the bunnies (lowercase red 'r's). She gets poo poo faced on dwarven wine and is pissed she can't drink it out of a jewel encrusted goblet. As our tireless miners continue their work and learn of their friends laziness a consensus opinion forms to force her off her rear end to make some equally lovely beds so they can sleep on something other than boulders.
