Well, here I go. Everything will be edited into this post.

6th Granite, 1053 Early-Spring

I notice our noble has only meager quarters, and a meager office. I aim to fix this. We need increased storage areas for our seed and plants. We need more sleeping quarters for the sh­itload of dwarves we have.

By the way, they're having a big party and eating all our food.



21st Granite, 1053 Mid-Spring

I have nearly completed a project on improving our dining room. I am engraving the entire room. Many of the engravings so far happen to be masterpieces. A++. I am hoping our miners start mining faster, and the woodworkers make beds faster. I'd like every dwarf to have a bed. The noble's office and quarters haven't even started being mined out because of that party.

Elves also arrived and unloaded today. They only have berries for trade. We need food. They won't accept nearly 2x the cost of their berries in gems. I'm seizing everything they have. War with elves? I scoff.

It's time to start a military.

Damn right

2nd Slate, 1053 Mid-spring

I have decided that upon the recent seizure of elven goods I am going to need to step up the defense. I have decided to build a fortress with two pillboxes at the entrance, and towers in corners where they can be placed. The archery range and barracks will be on ground-level inside the fortress.

Here it is, layed out but not placed yet. Dwarves are quite lazy. I need a few more brewerys..


10th Slate, 1053 Mid-Spring

Thanks to my predecessor's skill in engineering the well has flooded. I'm not sure if he put a lever for the well's floodgate anywhere but w/e. I'm probably going to lose 10 dwarves due to the partying going on in there, and I'll have to pump the room. WOO. Actually, you know what, ♥♥♥♥ it. Next person's turn.



S­hit does overflow when you try to block a river and divert it to a well then not tell the next person to close the floodgate a++ pyro.

So whoever is after me, go. Use pyro's savefile.

AND DO NOT FORGET TO PULL THIS LEVER

The lever is in the flooded room?

Get a swimmer to get that switch!

Carry on, bad things are supposed to happen in these kinda things, no one really reads it if its happy and successful. I say we only start again with the last save if the flood kills everyone.

Hahaha ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. A++ Daman. ♥♥♥♥ up and blaming it all on me.

Who made the lever and left the floodgate for it open without telling anyone? Oh yeah. You. I figure a predecessor(who is the only one who would know how his mechanics work) would make sure his mechanics are automated when they post the save, otherwise they would post telling the successor what to do and what the levers control.



You know that's one thing I don't like about this fortress. 3 tile wide corridors directly connected to important rooms. There's no choke point. There's no spot to put a door. There is no door there to begin with. Something like this happens, THE ENTIRE FORTRESS IS FLOODED WOO. I ended up with about 5 people outside, and they all died of starvation so uh yeah. The normal pump out the part of the fortress that is flooded scenario would work if the entire fortress wasn't wide open for anything to go anywhere.

Alenth made the lever, and I left it open to refill in the spring and assumed you'd be intelligent enough to notice we have a ♥♥♥♥ open floodgate. Apparently not.

You guys suck at succession games because mechanics are all supposed to be automated(See: WILL NOT DESTROY THE FORTRESS IF LEFT UNTOUCHED) when it's the next person's turn. l2DF n00bs.

I don't know how to make levers, or automate things.

Should I just drop out of this before I irreparably destroy it all?

You don't need to. By automate I mean it can handle itself without us having to intervene to save the fortress. You don't need to know how to make levers. But try them out in a new fortress. Have a lever that controls a door or something.

That's why I didn't join, I still need to learn about advanced mechanisms (and new version is almost out, it's on the last stage of development).

I might join.... add me to the end.

yes but every hilarious succession game has levers that do all kinds of mysterious stuff
