Maybe we can pour magma at the whole world?!!!
Fix'd that for you.


EDIT: Oh yeah, when the new version actually comes out in March or whenever, I think when we gen the world, we should use advanced world generation, not only to allow for a start year of two, but also to fine tune it for the best enjoyment.
I think a smallish world would be best, so that things wont be crossing multiple continents, and we could walk from one side of the continent to the other in about a week of adventer time-scale, so that you can reach more of people's creations faster.
I also think that caves should be set to visible, not just so we can reach the underground without skipping through some one's fort, but so that kobolds would be easier to track down, because you all know how they like dwarven artifacts.


EDIT:
But I also would like Talvieno as the World Bard.
This reminds me, since the world keeps on running around us, we would probably want somebody to be in charge of uploading saves as they're passed along to check if anything interesting happens in the world, and report on it.
If we could actually get Talvieno himself to be that person, that would be amazing and epic. Someone should send him a message.

What about using a Dropbox Shared Folder? With this method, everyone who is interested could export to legend and have a look.

I've heard Minecart Airlines Express offers nice trips to nobility. Alternative trips include a voyage over the volcano. Call 1-800-I-THE-GUINEAPIG-VOLUNTEER and book now!

The logistics of save-management are terrifying. I think it's best if we get Talvieno doing that for us.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

I could potentially manage to create a save system if I got more information on how exactly these forts would work. I could maintain it as well by using internet uploading services and keeping spares on 2 different PCs so that I can reupload if something were to happen.

I'm assuming we get turns based on time in real life, to play however we please in the Succession World. Once the turn ends, we upload the save, complete with retired adventurers/fortresses for the next person to use.

What would be cool is if each person's turn had narrative that fitted together somehow - a central plot to the world. I'm thinking of something like that Adventure Mode succession game with the museum. I'll find it and post a link sometime.

I think we should generate the world first and develope the plot afterwards so we can make it fit more into the setting. Things like the location of certain sites and the relations of civilisations to each other are important factors not only for gameplay, but also for imagination.
EDIT: We can stilll make plans though. I already came up with some ideas for adventurers.

Somebody should also write down all the stories and events down in case somebody wants to look up something.
Can somebody tell me who exactly Talvieno is? I couldn't find much useful information through Google.

Apparently coding DF is equivalent to slaying hydras.
