We all suck at Dwarf Fortress- The succession game
Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2008 11:51 am
"In the early spring of 226 Armchew of Hounds of the whips of folding founded Candleworth" - Official report of the founding of Candleworth.
I've become more interested in actually playing Dwarf Fortress, and after looking around on the internet, all the greatest forums have one of these.
We may not be big, but it's worth a shot at least.
The dwarves are already set up to be helpful enough. I can't remember exactly what, but we've got a bit of everything I- Uh, we need.
I made sure to get enough supplies, then for the hell of it, a bunch of wardogs, hunting dogs and other animals for meat and milk , but we've also got some pets. (Dogs, not cats, I hate cats.)
There are only rules-
Name a Dwarf after yourself, whether this is at the end, the beginning, or the end of your reign, I don't really care. If your Dwarf dies, nevermind. Erm.. Pretend you're a ghost or a relative or something, I dunno. Why do this? Because it's more fun if we get a fortress all about us.
No purposely screwing with the fortress, we want to live here. The same thing applies to making things harder for the next player on purpose.
Definition of screwing with the fortress-
Purposely destroying important structures, placing important structures in dangerous places, telling dwarves to jump in lava or something like that. Building a sequence of switches that causes the entire place to collapse doesn't count, as long as no-one uses them unless they have to.. Plus having a sequence of switches like that would be hilarious.
Graphics sets are allowed if you really want.
If everyone in the fortress dies, we'll start over from the previous save, unless we agree that it's the most fitting end. (For instance, if a goblin loses his weapons, goes crazy, beats an axedwarf to death with his bare hands then drags the corpse through the fortress causing everyone to go insane and kill eachother.)
Just post here if you want a go. You don't have to be good at Dwarf Fortress.
