Let's play Dwarf Fortress - Lardbones

[MercenaryMuffin]

Oh man, I would frakin' LOVE to do this. I read through two Lets Plays of DF while I was out of town: Headshoots and the insanely epic hilarity that is Boatmurdered.

I'm in.

I eagerly await what will, no doubt, be a hilarious descent into madness and flaming dorfs.

[Leeko]

well im still, still, really bad at this game, but why not. should have at least ONE age of confusion and pain, right?

With luck we'll have several.

By the way, if any of you want more practice time before your turn I can shift you down in the list.

i think im already far down enough!

my real goal is to figure out how to make a lever open a floodgate, my failure to do this cost 3 dwarves their lives. (dont ask)

It's a task at the lever, "Link lever with floodgate".

[~SJ~ Karuik]

i did, then the lever didnt open the floodgate 

no matter though, that fortress was an unorganized disaster. gonna start over and actually make something... coherent.

[Askis]

i did, then the lever didnt open the floodgate 

Your mechanic(s) will still need to go to both the floodgate and the lever with one mechanism each which can take a while, so maybe you pulled the lever to soon?
Could your mechanic reach both lever and gate?

[~SJ~ Karuik]

that did it then, he could reach but i pulled too soon i bet.

[Leeko]

See the other DF thread, I'd like to keep this one of the topic of the succession game.

[Askis]

Maybe we should decide on what version to use, as I for one would actually prefer one with graphics
The "Lazy Newb Pack" you posted in the other thread might be a good starting point

[~SJ~ Griffin]

yeah im using the lazy newb pack. I should give fair warning now that the fortress may run into some early trouble with me taking over in the second year. However, i will do my best. (Askis, prepare for chaos in your first turn).

[Leeko]

If you don't mind the ores looking slightly weird I'd like to stick with vanilla graphics... I tried using that graphics mod once and it looked too cluttered, it messed up my macromanagement and stuff. Simpler graphics means easier to think in the big picture for me.

I would like to contribute this:


That is all.

[Gravecoast]

well, after reading boatmurdered last night, I think I may hop on to this trail of madness. Although someone to help me figure out a goblin from a viscous bloodthirsty pachyderms might be helpful. otherwise the fortress may end in my reign in a fire for no good reason hahahaha

[Askis]

A goblin = g
bloodthirsty pachyderm = E

Welcome to teh madness
