TVTropes Dwarf Fortress Succession Fort 4: Sparklebulwarks

new combat system, ho! probably endless bugs for the next few updates, ho!

Now, we wait. Whether from crashes or hoping for fixes to those crashes, only time will tell.

I never was good at being patient.

Will the next bug-fix update be enough, do you think?

...anyone?

We'll have to see what it fixes and how long it will take to finish out the update cycle before Toady settles into the next big development phase and leaves us to the current build.

I would say that we shouldn't start a fortress until invaders stop getting horrified at the corpses of the people they kill. Though it does make for an amusing mental picture if you imagine the goblins standing over a kitten corpse screaming "Oh, Armok! What have I done!?"

I think it is amusing. Of course that doesn't mean every invader will be terrified of dead bodies. In some test runs they were unnerved but quickly got over it and went back to butchering.

Naw, but I think we need to wait til at least 40.07 if not later, because Toady's fixed the bug causing the lack of sieges, so we'll eventually see hardened invaders who don't give a shit if they just skewered seven puppies, six kittens, a chick, bunny, and goat kid and are watching two dwarven children being roasted alive . . .

No there really isn't a reason to wait that long. As long as sieges happen.

Sieges won't happen often at all until 40.07 comes out. That's the patch that fixed the problem. Also, 40.06 has a weird bug where everyone breeds like animals and you get armies of children. Even siegers pop out children on the field of battle . . .

....We so need a pre-patch fort just to see that happen.

Then download it now and get cracking.

I'm gone for a month and this happens.

Sleep walking and not using weapons during sparring have been fixed. Your sleepers will stay in bed and your sparring dwarves will use their weapons in 40.07. I hope Sleepwalking comes back as a regulated feature when the code's been worked out. That sounded like something fun for us to deal with as long as it was a trait and not spammed by everyone.

Sleep walking as a mood would be interesting or a mental condition as dwarves slowly lose it.

40.07 is out now, and seems to have most of the major bugs squashed.

Ok folks what is the state of succession game(s)? Did we want to finish this one off and start a new one?

Well in my opinion we should start a new one to get the best out of the new version. However lets not jump rashly, how recoverable is our situation, Have not checked in since the goblins kinda shoved us in the mine. Overall I vote for a new fort, What about you guys? Also we going to be using humans or dwarfs for the next one?

Probably dwarfs for a little bit.

Well at least we can get to some good ol' Dwarfy !!FUN!! then.

Yeah, we can do a new one. Toady got the cowardly issues taken care of, so we won't have too many bugs.

Sounds like a plan. First anyone want to to official end the fort via game play or do we want to just write that the dwarves were driven to the mines where madness, hunger, and dwarven rage wiped everyone out?

This is the human fort, not Jawmetal.

Fine replace dwarves with human. They pretty much behave the same sans the rampant alcoholic tendencies.

The ending: The mist from Waterburned finds the humans and kills them.
