Let's Sperg Dwarf Fortress Community Succession Fortress 2020 - YEAR 1 - NEW FORT STARTED!

[Trigger Me Timbers]

I'll actually have time to play this, so if this fort somehow survives another turn I'd love a go.

you are going to go after Some Manajerk Since you didn’t play in season 1! Dont forget we’re on 44.12 so make sure you have it up and running.

Is it my fault?

yes. Yes it is. Fuck you.
(however I am looking forward to your next play through if we make it that long)

Also, is it still worth it to start having your recruits train as wrestlers before you specialize them into a particular weapon?

If you use the default military set up then no as weapons are set to “ Individual preference include melee” so if the dwarves on the more skilled at wrestling than anything else they will always opt to wrestle opponents.

Our king isn't just a madman, he's a professional drunkard. I can't think of any other reason why he thinks Ace Vermin is a safe and secure fortress when we just had 80% of our population wiped out by a bunch of wild apes.

Hahahhaha what the hell? I have never seen “drunk” as a profession hahahhahaj it all makes sense now!!

 

[Some Manajerk]

everyone is currently busy cleaning up the mess of bodies and refuse the fort has become. i had to forbid everything outside because someone ndecided it would be a good idea to let dwarves go frolicking under the sun to pick up that xxiron breastplatexx, nevermid that frolicking under the sun is what got us infested with monkeys.
however, everyone seems more obsessed with reporting unhappy dwarves punching kittens than not being able to breate miasma every two steps.

am working on digging rooms out for the king and stocking them withn what artifact furniture hasn't been built. hopefully he decides to stay away from the masses of unhappy people.

 

[Some Manajerk]

also we have far too many animal. i order some caged and the rest to be butchered.

fun thing to note, the king is VERY good at performing. as in, dwarves are finding themselves much happier after watching him perform than they were before hand

some less so than others

Apparently it's been around a really long time but you don't often see it and very, very rarely with dwarves because the amount of alcohol you have to consume to get the "Drunk" profession as a dwarf is astronomical.

 

[Some Manajerk]

to borrow a phrase from an ancestor of mine
"Welcome to fucking Acevermin! hope you like Miasma!"

 

[Some Manajerk]

some poor guy went mad and starved to death. one less person to haul dead bodies to a stockpile, regretfu...

Armokdammit go away. i pull the lever (the right one this time) and seal the gate. if they're like the last siege, they'll camp for a bit, then cluster around the old gate. at which point i shall unleash the new and improved cumblaster.

first off, a few walls to better channel the flow right out the door. the second thing i managed was to remove all the ramps except 3 to allow wagons to the depot. this should ensure the enemy to not have space to run when the magma flows

Attacking another dwarf civilization, being defeated and help prisoner for a decade is starting to sound like the good ending.

Former overseer/current corpse Null isnt using her room, just her tomb.

 

[Some Manajerk]

well, this is a bummer. the siege is cowardly goblins. unlike Tinlakes who would cluster right up to the gate, these fellows are just sitting on the plains, well out of reach of the cumblaster.

also, the kings wife bit it. no idea how, people in this fort just sort of die and i only find out when i mouse over a coffin or thier ghose rises and starts harrasing people.

including me!

this is gonna be a lot of paperwork

 

[Some Manajerk]

if it werent for the fact that this is one of the few sources of happy thoughts from performers i would have gotten rid of this(or tried to) months ago. all the nobles here are unhappy and constantly getting into fights,

 

[Some Manajerk]

so, tiny little problem. priming the courtyard washed obsidian into the cumblaster floodgates. so we can't close them now. we have to consider the original courtyard effectively lost, since unless we get lucky and magma flushes these down, those gates are going to stay open.

also an elf poet went berserk and is now running around beating up dwarves

There's a secondary lever somewhere that closes the INPUT to the cumblaster IIRC, a bit down and to the right of the main entrance.

its probably hidden under someones *leather low boot* like half the other levers in the place.

I can't imagine that instantly killing his wife by moving to this fortress will do much to help the king's drinking habit.

"R" to list all buildings. Look for levers.

Should probably rename him "Lowtax."

It was down to about 5 for me which was on the verge of unplayable, so I probably won't be able to take another run in this fort.

even when I was up the temptation to use DFHack to really clean things up a bit was high.

 

[Trigger Me Timbers]

If you know how you can use DF hacks. Cleanup owned items and what not. Also culling animals and the likes.

I'd seriously consider culling animals. There are LOTS of them. I have a bunch of slaughter jobs queued under the Animals menu under "z" but they are probably still reproducing faster than they're being killed (although you can see one of them getting slaughtered in @Some Manajerk's post). Also there's something almost like a catsplosion but with magma crabs. I don't know how much it will help.

 

[Some Manajerk]

right, so the goblins refuse to come onto the nice plateau and be roasted by magma. so i am improvising a solution

a huge amount of weapon traps using all the excess weapons we have lying arounf. hammers, picks, trap components, crossbows. my hope is when i open the door the goblins will start streaming towards the fort. then we can either pull the lever and smother them in magma while they're trapped, or enough of them will be killed to break the siege. like most projects in the fort, this is slowed by all of our citizens being sad.

also i found out where all the ammo went
