Some of the unclaimed, untamed ones would bother Moldath the dog occasionally, but luckily these were mostly play-fights that ended with one or both of them vomiting.

how. . . adorable. . .

So I was poking around in history, and it says that a vampire migrated to your fortress in 806 - did you notice this at all o.O ?

Whispermines survived your term and The Merchant of Walls (the parent civ) have since decided to expand elsewhere. Slowly, we are bringing these dwarven civs back to life!!

[delphonso]

Ah yes. The vampire was pretty obvious in the graphical version, so he was eventually sent to conquer a neighboring site. The same was done to two unhappy dwarves about half a year after that.

[delphonso]

How'd it go, Av?

[AvolitionBrit]

Going alright, need some more time but il have posts soon

The Frosty Bones

It was meant to be a simple job, sneak into the elven forest, harvest all the mahogany trees and sneak out without anyone knowing. We had wagons of the stuff as we left those knife ears some lovely new stumps. But it went wrong, it started to snow..

it grew thicker..

We huddled inside the wagon for warmth and then we work up here.

We got to work digging out our barrows when we spotted owls but they wern't owls anymore horrid creatures hiding within the vestige of an owl. We fought them off but where are we. The wild life keep coming back to life.

Return the dead back to death
Return the dead back to death
RETURN THE DEAD BACK TO DEATH
RETURN THE DEAD BACK TO DEATH
RETURN THE DEAD BACK TO DEATH

(Gonna post save soon, but yeah i choose a haunted frozen hellscape for my fortress.)

[Salmeuk]

perhaps a mistake (or multiple, compounding mistakes) was made, but we will profit for it, in entertainment!

[AvolitionBrit]

Sorry for the delay

The game now requires the See through smoothing designation mod to play it seems so may wanna add that to initial post
EDIT: and interface tweaks 1.3

[delphonso]

Yeah, that's my doing, sorry! Yep! Only those two!

The books mod is baked into the save, so that isn't an issue.

[Salmeuk]

I will edit OP. :] my apologies.

As a preview of what is to come I didn't have any ideas for a fort so I brought my three year old son into the project and let him decide what we were gonna do. I'm gonna write a 100% serious report following all his decisions


"So where do we wanna build our town? We got spooky forests, nice hills, oceans, swamps, snowy places-"
"I want to do snow places!"
"Okayyyy" -spends a minute looking around the map at all the different frozen regions
"So we got snowy water areas and snowy mountain areas and-"
"Snowy mountains!"

"Okay! Well, uh. What kind of animals do we want?" I start listing and he says a few different ones with varying enthusiasm, but when we reach chickens he shouts "Chickens I want chickens!"

"Awesome, buddy!"
"Okay, the group needs a picture like to put on a flag. What should be on the picture?"
"Sheep!"
"Okay, sheep that's cool. Like one sheep, or a few or a lot?"
"A lot of sheep" he giggles
"What are they doing?"
"Eating grass!"
-there's no action option for eating or anything similar-


"Okay perfect! Sheep! So what should they call their group?"
"Horse!"
"Okay, like just one horse?"
"yeah just one horse"
"Perfect"


Okay, one more thing. What are they gonna name the town?
"Freezing!"
"Won't let me pick freezing is freeze okay"
"Yeah! Freeze is okay!"


"Okay. What should this town go and do?"
"Stop bad people!"
"Oh I love that! Anything else"
"They should stop monsters too!"
"That is great!"

I'm regularly bringing him in to make the major decisions of our fortress and I'm going to give the report as seriously as I can. The best part so far is interpreting his decisions in a way that works in the game

[Salmeuk]

that's simultaneously adorable and a great way to shed any blame from your decisions as overseer.

so, the group named "Horse" is actually just a bunch of confused sheep? that checks out ...

[delphonso]

God this is such a good idea. Gonna need to do the same with my daughter at some point.

[King Zultan]

That's a great idea.
