Dwarf Fortress

[maheusz]

Then we'll count it, starting today . Since it's 1st March if you won't bring back the save alive at 8th March then it goes back around to either wallace and xmorg... and you Jeff (if you will be so busy that the game won't get done).

And I may warn you, shit starts to get real . We've a lot of dwarves now, pretty much a functioning fortress and goddamn epidemy within the walls. But as far as I remember everybody is alive - counting me, you, wallace and xmorg. And Styg. I saw his dorf during the siege.

[JeffTheShark]

alright lets see, i dont need no damn tileset har!*3 minutes later* ARGH MY EYES!

[wallace]

cool sounds like we're under way. I'm after Jeff right?

[JeffTheShark]

i think it would be best to skip me, i had this setup for DF, and my last computer puttered out. i still have all my shit, but the old setup is gone. sorry.

[wallace]

That's all good, should I pick it up from here then?

here's what the tower looks like:


seems more squashed than I thought it was going to be from the 2d version :/

[maheusz]

Yup, you're free to do your turn, wallace - and like I said before - beware the siege that is just now ending ;P. After that it's xmorg turn, then, once again Jeff (will you make it this time?) and mine. Also, holy hell, it's sure getting a bit mad now. The graveyard must be filled with coffins, good sirs!

The tower looks less towering that I would like. Oh well. It's always weird when talking about Z-levels.

And Jeff it seems like there is some kind of curse on your computer .

[wallace]

ok cool, managed to fight off that siege. I'm pretty sure nobody told me that was there hahaha! xD Everything seems to be running fine except that dwarves seem to be randomly dying about 1 every minute!! What do I do?? :/

[wallace]

another one just bit the dust

[maheusz]

Like I said - it's an epidemy! My guess it's either blood one of the Forgotten Beast was deadly and it just kills dwarves that walk through it or something like that. Or it's just the squad of soldiers who fought last beast and was sprayed with some gas cloud is now biting the dust.

They just bleed to death, right?

[wallace]

yeah it says: x cancels stuff, resting injury then they are found dead :/ I swear about 10 must have died that way so far during my turn

[xmorg]

whats going on? when is my turn?

[maheusz]

After wallace finishes and gets save up here . And only if the fort won't disappear from this strange 'bite the dust' disease.

I would say that maybe quarantine could help? Maybe? Hopefully?

[wallace]

I have no idea where it is coming from or who is affected until they die! I have a hunch it may be one of the bedrooms because 2 died in it one after another but I have no idea I'll look closely at the next few deaths

[wallace]

On a lighter note, I've begun work on a new dining room called "Wallace Hall" in honour of one of the previous leaders

EDIT: bane just bled to death in the dining room so I don't know what's happening!!

[maheusz]

Lol, welcome to my world then. I was offsetting deaths with migrants, but it's no fun when legendary dudes die because of random syndrome. The problem is that they bled to death - it's probably carried by their fluids, next batch of people ingest them when they eat etc, and the circle of death continues. It's especially hard because with 200 dwarves there is no way in hell to divide infected and clean dwarves.

I guess we could do something radical. Like lava purge.
