I vote reclaim.

With a reclaim, should we establish a precidinct of having the next player reclaim or let the old overseer do so?  I have a plan I want to try and I can admit it would be easier with a reclaim than an inherit.

I'm happy to let the next player in line reclaim. I've probably done enough damage already.

Uopload the save and I can get started when I get back from class.

Go ahead and take it. I'm cool with this idea.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and redorf everyone. I think its all the people on the overseer list plus Mr. Frog, Taupe, and Onyx Discforge

Well, I think that's the third community fortress I've been in that has fallen during my turn. I swear I'm actually quite good at this game! Most of the time!
I'm trying to decide which side of Hanlon's razor this falls on, malice or incompetence...

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Going to need the save to do that.  Hasn't been posted yet from what I see.

Here's the save!

Note that when you're reclaiming you should choose Důstiklogem, not the other one.



As for the levers beside the dining hall:



The one on the left raises/closes the drawbridge outside the main entrance, just next to the trading depot.
The middle one raises/closes the bridge between the magma tunnel and the outside, north of the entrance.
The one on the right opens/closes the floodgates at either end of the magma tunnel, and also raises/closes two bridges giving access to the tunnel.

I didn't have a chance to test any of the other levers before the demon party, so use them at your own risk.

Have fun!

...who on earth decided to put another lever next to the magma lever? why would you put more levers next to the magma levers!?!?

okay so my original design for that room was two levers, the one in the center (which should now be on the left) lowered and raised the bridge from the magma tunnel to the surface, the one on the right was the one that closed off the tunnel and opened the floodgates. The lever for the main bridge was located in a completely different location which means not only did EoyaBosan dig up the demons, he also deliberately fucked with the lever layout.

My idea was to have all of the important levers in one easily accessible, defensible, central place. I even had digging designations running in lines from above each lever to each of the things it operated to make it completely unambiguous; see the map from just after the breach here! Unfortunately, all of the designations are lost after reclaim.

So, I did survive the magma incident. Then we died. May I have my next beard-fella be the sheriff? I want justice.

Interface in 23a is a fair bit different than the newer versions.  Anyway, starting my run.

EDIT:

No I should not.  That's not the one that we embarked at.  This is:

I promise you, it's definitely Důstiklogem/Boarpaints. Look up the translation here if you don't believe me.

Oh whoops, I must have put up the screenshots for my first embark attempt. It didn't have unicorns so I did a second embark. Sorry.

also, do the trick where you put a bridge over a channel at the entrance, so the channel eats the magma instead of it smelting dwarfite bars.
