Dwarf Fortress

[wallace]

The forge room has been reclaimed!

[maheusz]

No magma monsters down there? I rememer that we weren't having best type of security in the forge...

[wallace]

Not that I know of I had to reclaim it because someone was in a strange mood and needed a forge. They made some useless amulet :/ Also the elves came and left because I forgot the bins were made of wood... Things seem to be settling down again. The injured from the battle with the forgotten beast are miserable and keep throwing tantrums but they're pretty much all paralyzed so not causing any problems. However food seems to be running rather low :/ Something is going to have to be done about it.

[wallace]

Sorry guys, I got swamped with homework in the middle of my turn again I've uploaded the save part way through summer so someone can finish the year and then do their turn if they want or the just pick up the last save. The population is about 38 and things are kind of stable. Watch out for the food levels :/ Good luck

Okay, so is Jeff still going or not? Because I'm going to pick it up soon if nobody answers .

Don't worry about the time, wallace - it looks like the new version will be on soon, so we'll probably switch... and I doubt that saves are compatibile. Not with this amount of changes.

[xmorg]

im still in... keep it going :p

[maheusz]

Roger. So I'll pick it up and try to preserve dwarfiness.

Boy, oh boy.

[maheusz]

I finished Wallace's turn, now mine is going. Fort is like 70+ dwarves, food and drinks are okay, because I started aboveground farming. Most of stuff is cleaned up - there is one ghost which body I can't find, but it's pretty harmless. Forgotten Beast downstairs is much more dangerous...

I moved most of my militia near it, but even if it has wings it just doesn't want to fly up, into fortress. Self preservation instinct I guess. Another problem is that parts of the stockpiles are spread out in the caverns and I ain't stupid enough to go there just yet.

Also on F6 shortcut there is adamantum pillar I'm currently mining. Very cautiously ;].

[maheusz]

Okay, my turn is done. The fort is like 100+ dwarves now and teeming with life. The militia squad is always training downstairs, near the well. Like I wrote before down in the shaft near main gate a ghostly Cook floats around, but he doesn't seem to care about anything. There are also quite few friendly goblins around so that's another thing. Under F6 is mined adamantum pillar - there will be enough for like 10-12 wafers, so enjoy your fun.

Save is here:

I guess it's xmorg's turn? .

[xmorg]

I have downloaded it and am starting.....

Siege.... heheh...

[maheusz]

Haha, I've only got an ambush. Which was shortly dispatched by weapon traps. They do save a lot of effort

[xmorg]

There were/are 2 sieges the first was bugged.
This one is the "Big one", late autumn and im right in the middle of it.  Massive slaughter!
The dwarves insist on collecting socks outside the walls.  I also "stationed" my trips behind the bridge which some of them promptly sallied forth to "meat" the storm of arrows head-on.

ok so does anyone have any ideas?  I have about 20 dwarves at the entrance who are falling over themselves trying to go out and pick up stuff in the middle of the siege.  I cant seem to cancel the jobs, maybe i can mass forbid every object outside the fort?  Also solders are running out on their own and getting cut down as well.  There are a lot of archers and i am trying to stop a massacre...

[wallace]

Is there anywhere you can put some temporary doors and then forbid them?

[maheusz]

There is a burrow in the military menu called something like GTFO... It forces all dwarves who aren't conscripted to stay on the surface level, but inside the walls. You could also rewrite the burrow to accomodate lower levels and thus only have massive stack of 'cannot continue job - object forbidden' stuff .

Or just get the bridges up... They are connected to levers, right?

[xmorg]

Well i survived the siege.
Now on to becoming a barrony   I have selected Fish cleaner Stinthad Degzon to become royalty :p
Edit: all im gonna say is its baby mania in ragcopper.
