Look at the link in my sig.  It's the checkerboard thread and it'll tell you everything you need to build one in the OP.  The only thing you need to know is the magma and water tanks each need to be HALF the size of the game board, not the same size.  I believe Mego already discovered that you need to also put the tanks two levels above the game board, not one.

left over from the last world

I think Eric's finally gone nuts. What "last world"? Xemorid is all there is, and all there ever was. If the gods hear how he speaks, we may be short one Head Stoneworker soon.

Aluonra is just a myth...

[Eric Blank]

Hey! Stay out of my journal you lot of nuts! What sort of goblinly ethics is that, invading others' personal space?

I still deny that Aluonra is 'just a myth'. I'll prove it!

*thread hop*

Um hello. Are you guys still planning on making Hellcannon a literal hellcannon?

[Gizogin]

Argh, the new release couldn't have come at a worse time.  Now I have to choose between ending my turn early (thus sacrificing the turn I've been waiting for since Failcannon) or finishing the entire turn (but having to wait longer to get into DFVD).

*thread hop*

I wasn't planning to, but I'm sure it'll happen eventually.

[ThatAussieGuy]

I'd say finish your turn.  That way you'll have time for any bugfix patches that happen in the next few days

Time to spend a bit on my clown launcher fortress then...

[Archereon]

Never mind, new DF release!!!


Time to draw up my plans for the next battlefailed sequel...

(Hint: It involves dumping all of the fortresses corpses, dwarf, goblin or otherwise into a 1x1 pit with a drawbridge linked to a random solely used but preexisting level. I call it...

FAILLEVER 2.0)

But seriously, the next fortress must die to a combined zombie apocalypse, werewolf infestation, vampire infiltration, clown invasion, simultaneous goblin, human, and elven sieges, a loyalty cascade, a tantrum spiral, a fire, dragons, forgotten beasts, and zombie crundles.

Do dwarves have a word for "Rasputin" by the way?

[Reudh]

They sure do, it's Oltuloningul.

I used one of the possible translations of Rasputin, ie. распу́тица / muddy - road - season / rasputitsa to translate it into Dwarf, because I knew those three words making up Rasputitsa were in the dwarven language.

Uhhhhhhhhh.......... you know this how?

Can we name the next fort something that includes that words? You know for (!FUN) luck and a great deal of irony/awesomeness if the fort actually dies such a Rasputianian Death. Considering how the rest of the forts died, I say we have a 50 50 shot. (Battlefailed: Stuzang comes and kills everyone out of nowhere. Failcannon: Fort takes multiple tantrum spirals, a loyalty cascade, then rocks fall (on coffins), everyone dies. Hellcannon: )

[Eric Blank]

We can worry about battlefailed IV after hellcannon dies. For now, we can enjoy the serene landscape of the tundra. Especially the rivers of blood. There's no going back on Hellcannon. Mego has doomed us all, and there's no escaping it.

[Gizogin]

Hey guys, sorry about the lack of an update, but I've been kinda caught up in the new release.  I'll put something up later tonight, when I get done with classes.

Speaking of which, what's actually going on in Hellcannon?


You think you'll encounter that "Fortress doesn't die when it is killed" glitch again?

Winter 209

Journal of Gizogin, Rawmancer:

20 Moonstone:

Ettin!  I've heard about these things.  They're really odd.

22 Moonstone:
Well, the ettin is dead.  The goblins mobbed it and tore it to shreds.

4 Obsidian:
Iden Domasidith, Butcher has been possessed!  He claimed a mechanic's workshop and started gathering supplies.

14 Obsidian:


It's a very nice mechanism, that's for sure.  What I'll do with it is less sure.

20 Obsidian:

A towering humanoid composed of water?  Well, it can't fly, which is good, because I still haven't sealed the ceiling of the third layer, where it arrived.

25 Obsidian:

I had the magma pipe wall breached today, after the pumps came online.  I regret the use of adamantine for the pumps, but I had no choice.  As of now, the pumps reach up to the second cavern layer, from which it shouldn't be too hard to get to the surface.
