A doomsday device bunker. A great ark to protect the Dwarven Ubermensch as they unleash the scourge of Magma Permaflood against the world by second winter.

I'm sad that I died in the horrible famine-birthed Civil war. It's fitting that this civil war was indeed caused by the Civil War Man, whose over-reliance on the baking of liquid into biscuts was eventually our downfall.

Though as game endings go, the whole chain of events was pretty much made of awesome

It was up there with getting boiled alive in magma as physics kicked in and murdered us all. I'd say the most interesting deaths so far have been the deaths by horrible icy hand of physics. Or the horrible flaming hand.

I look forward to DOD's narrative when a dwarf named Civil War Man immigrates to the new fortress, particularly if the conversation aspect of the game independently decides to ostracize Civil War Man the Younger. Particularly if my dwarf just happens to be a skilled female cook.

In this you presume to be a skilled cook at all.

I was an amazing cook. Why does everyone think I was a terrible chef just because all the meals I cooked were full of paradox that eventually backlashed and destroyed all of civilization?

Physics and reality in Dwarf Fortress has consistently proven to hate dwarves. Just as the supernatural it seems (giant undead elephants?)

Edit: It may be just as well that the civilization got destroyed when it did. I bet CWM would have branched out from mere cooking into actual construction and fabrication from liquors (Wine axes? Ale bunkhouses? An entire fortress constrructed from solidified liquor?) That would have made things even worse as when physics kicked in the dwarves would simultaneously drown and starve (a feat, IIRC only matched by Spanky's demise.)

edit- whoops, hit submit while previewing something. Not the actual start of the game, but something else coming soon.

and by soon I mean not for a while. I expect plantmodding to be finished by today or tomorrow, a quick check over the rest of teldin's mod that I'll be integrating into the core files, then a few miscellaneous mods.

Then worldgen, then featurehunting. First I have to decide what sort of place we're going to though.

Ideally a haunted volcano or something. Sounds pretty awesome. Although I'm unsure whether we want an undead area or just a malevolent area full of huge predators and with increased frequency of sieges.

I also do want liquid water for irrigation and metal and stuff. So the location will still have good features, but I want wildlife that hates us.

New version released. Now you can change the size of the map to some extent.

Decided to play. Did well until both miners hit an underground resouviour and flooded the sleeping chambers. Evacuation went well. Floodgates stopped the flow. Now they had to drain the area.

While channeling and affixing gratings, one dwarf fell in. The other followed. 3 z-Axis levels with a pool of very deep water? Dead dorfs.

Gave picks to new people. One goes mad from lack of booze.

Apparently, one threw a tantrum.

At a floodgate.

Things spiralled wildly out of control as unhappiness spiked. The warriors berserked, others tantrumed, floodgates and gratings were destroyed..

By the end, the only survivors were dying of thirst as the others had thrown themselves off cliffs, flooded their bedrooms, or in the valiant last-ditch effort to save the fortress, accidentally hit a magma flow in the hopes of a multi-layer cistern.

^Remember, losing is fun!

EDIT: Oh yeah, the newly released version lets you cook with booze again. I don't know why.

Obviously, it was because Toady hates Palelabour and wanted to screw us

Also, we're going to try not to cook with booze when possible, because we should learn from our mistakes, not repeat them. Also it will keep Civil War Man I a mythological figure.

Oh god.

A NEW FREAKING VERSION!

Doesn't really do much though.

Connor MacLeod · Post by **Connor MacLeod** » 2008-02-26 02:36am

what does "cooking with booze" mean? Technically in real life you can cook with alcohol (IE cooking wines) - but not neccearily making the physcis bending solidified monstrosities that CWM created before.

Zablorg · Post by **Zablorg** » 2008-02-26 02:41am

The booze cooking has been reverted to its original perversion of nature.

So, are we going with Slutpants for the name? Because we'll need a suitable motto, like "In bracae per audentia" or something...

International house of Boozecakes. or IHOB.

does this mean that civil warman's cake was a lie?
