The current order is

Alpha (yesterday and today)
Hyper (friday/saturday)

*Free space on sunday*

Dudemauler (monday/tuesday)

So, anyone's got a free sunday to spend on our fortress?

Also, Alpha, the forums are no longer accepting attached images. Use tinypic/photobucket/whatever and IMG link to them.

I'll take sunday.

Yo dawgs, are we making a new world and a new fortress for the 2010 alpha?

YES! YESSSSSSHH!


But should we stop the current one or keep them parallel?

♥♥♥♥ if I know I'd say have the new one and keep the old on there if anyone wants to download it and see what we got up to. Make the world a tad smaller this time if you would.

Oops. The total compressed size of the world is about 25 meg.

But look at how FUDGE AWSOM it is!

I'd like to see both the badlands, the river, and the mountain in there simultaneously.

Why do you guys have such laggy preferences? Goodness

Geti, even you should know that lag is directly proportional to awesome

KK guys, I think I've found us a reasonably good site: even though it is an island, so no gobbos, it's got sand and surfaced magma, and that's already a long way.




EDIT: And it's in a small world and 4x4, so Geti can be happy.

hahah, thank god Regardless, <30FPS constantly gives you the shits when trying to build something (it takes ages anyway, watching that in slow motion is no fun. Or not the kind I enjoy anyway.

OK, I've gotta admit, this is the BEST. EMBARK. EVER.

The site is basically a huge mountain peak, except it is covered in a thickly forested swamp. Right on the side of it, and actually outside the mountain, there is this HUGE magma pipe that goes all the way down to z -168. As a bonus, the wall separing it from the rest of the map is just 1-tile thick, so we can magma-flood the world up to the highest z-level by just building one channel.




EDIT: Did I mention the fortress' name is Balls of Steel?

But then no merchants. which means no gypsum. which means no casts(for broken bones). and probably no immigrants. and no selling stuff. and no gobbos. and i could go on.

Well, yeah. But since a mountain range splits the map in two, we could do something like flood only half of it at a time, or whatever. At any rate, is anyone interested in taking part of a DF2010 succession? I've genned some pretty sweet maps over the course of the last few days.


(Did I mention that cows are now milkable? Yes, all your dreams of making *masterwork cheese* can now be fulfilled.)

I'll play.
