FORT BALLSACKS (A DF succession game for the HnH forums)

Postby WatsonX » Mon Jul 23, 2012 4:10 am

If any of you are familiar with Boatmurdered, I'm starting my own Dwarf Fortress succession game. If you're not familiar with Boatmurdered, each player will get a year to rule over the fortress "Ballsacks," and then post about what they did. I'm hoping to have only HnH players in on this, but if I can't get enough people I will recruit elsewhere.

Rules:
(I'm Just going to copy-paste the Boatmurdered rules)
"One year = one turn, from spring of one year to spring of the next. Once you see the cheery green "Spring has arrived!" text, save it, zip it, and get it to the next player. Upload it to rapidshare.com or something similar, and post the link to your savegame so the next person can get it and begin. Feel free to break your turn up into a bunch of posts, but let's try and keep it moving along.

Once it's your turn, you get a week from the time that the link is posted to take your turn. If you start but can't finish, your successor has the option to pick up where you left off and play out the rest of your turn and their. If you don't start, then the old savegame just goes to the next player. If you trash the fort to total -- and I mean TOTAL -- unplayability (e.g. magma flood oh god), we'll revert to an old save, but overcoming setbacks is half the fun, so hopefully we won't have to do this.

Pretty much anything goes except for the following: 1) using huge bridge hallways to kill demons/seiging armies, and 2) things that make later turns totally unplayable such as flooding the world, mining adamantine, or removing bridges in creative ways so that the pathing eats it and the bridges can't be reconstructed and the fortress descends into an orgy of violence and starvation. If you do this, we roll back to an old save and everyone gets dwarven blue balls (which are shorter, but stronger, than the regular variety), so nobody do this please."
If you want a chance to rule over Ballsacks, post here, or, preferably, send me a pm. I will then post the order of players on basis of first come first serve.

If only I could get my head around that damn game, this look like fun, I'll be sure to have a look at a few of the saves, but I'd probally trash the fort

Count me also in. Anything nice nearby? Like, a dark goblin fortress or some necromancer towers?

Is that hematite I see there?

You read "Boatmurdered"? The fort got trashed over and over and over....

I've never done a succession game, and I don't consider myself that advanced of a player, but count me in. It'll be fun. What version? Any mods? I've been reading on one game where someone used the wrong version and then someone else used their own install with a couple of mods that broke the save for anyone else.

The only caveat is my system is pretty slow. I'm on an old 1.9GHz AMD Athlon XP. I run pretty good until the game gets big enough to drop me to about 10 fps. I can still do a year in a reasonable amount of time, though.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

From the screenshot i'd say he uses mayday. And mayday only goes up to v34_10. If he uses the newest ver, that is.
