-13.2- [Strength Anvils] (0.0) Take Two.

Hello all, DepressedRacoon here for take two of Fort 13. I had planned to do this tomorrow, as that is what I stated in my ultimatum to Gapmeister, but after reviewing general sentiment and talking with the Mods, I am starting a day early. The sooner I begin, the sooner things can get rolling again. Apologise to Gapmeister, but I am not prone to patience. I will be running secondary sign ups (to replace anyone who can't make it this time around) during the running of the fort, but I have messaged (or am messaging now) everyone who commented for the initial attempt and have adapted the initial plan as follows:
I will be taking over generation and the first running of the fort, with subsequent forts running in three separate time lines or teams (1, 2 and 3), denote your team by adding to the turn count of your post title (team number. turn number). Teams are as follows:

Group 0

1. DepressedRacoon

Group 3

3. u/mrzisme [In progress]
4. u/brokenAmmonite
5. u/Th3Fa113n1
6. u/mflux [Moved back due to non-responsiveness]
7. u/pwnography [Ditto]

Group 2

1. u/petrov76 [year played]
2. u/NarcissusIII [In Progress]
3. u/Schrodingers_Ferret
4. u/The_Raving_Octopus
5. u/kzielinski [Non-responsive]

Group 3
2. u/StopThinkAct [Took two years]
3. u/ConstableBrew [Game paused due to incomplete turn]
4. u/egrutt
6. u/SriBri

1. u/BeNign618 [Moved back due to non-responsiveness]

Any new sign ups (comment on here or PM me) will be added sequentially to whichever team has the least players. A recap on the etiquette of the succession game: you have 3 days from being PM'd by the previous player to play your turn else you will be skipped (if possible/wanted you will be inserted later into the order of your team), the responsibility being with the player who last had a turn to pass the fort on. If you can't finish a turn or are not willing to take a turn, pass over to the next player and PM me if you want to be moved to later in the team or removed. A write up of your turn as overseer is recommended and pictures always help (although not everyone's used to the same tile set, so be prepared to spell out what things are). Any FUN should be captured for posterity. Feel free to name a dwarf after yourself during your turn and please mention any deaths of named dwarves. Please post your write up and PM the next player ASAP. Upload saves to mediafire, dropbox or similar. Link to the download in your write up also please. Dwarf Therapist is recommended, all other programmes, cheats or hacks are forbidden. Remember that this is a group event and we're all here to have fun and FUN.

According to the initial sign ups, the only call for the embark was that it should have a volcano (which was only voted for by myself and one other), therefore I've taken a little creative control in that regards.
500 years generation time, 1500 embark points, boosted weighting for high volcanism and savagery (the complete embark profile can be found here on pastebin, most settings have been fiddled with for the sake of “I wonder what this'll do”- all generated on a fresh copy of perfectly clean Dwarf Fortress though.)
Romtar “The Ageless Land” will be our home; generating for 500 years on a medium sized map when you're used to 125 on pocket is slooow (especially without using LNP's performance boosts), but we've got elves, humans and a lot of goblins. Volcano picking is slim, but I opted to settle with “The Rough Flame” in the north-east of a 5x5 embark. This gives us both shallow and deep metals, flux, soils clay and enough woodland to cater for anyone who isn't an elf. It came down to a choice between the Torches of Exiting and The Portal of Domination for our home civ, but since no-one was at war with the elves I opted for the Portal of Domination. For the Glory of the Portal of Domination, the Torches of Fierceness have set off to settle Srengthanvil! Strike the Earth!

World gen parameters
Location of fort -5x5 embark cornered on the volcano

Initial Save Embark points +5 hens, turkeys, geese, ducks. 3 bitches and a dog, 2 male cats.
End of turn 1 (incoming, just playing it through)- expect another post within a day, probably within hours of this post.

Prepare for my write up of my turn as overseer- I will be switching back to my main install of Dwarf Fortress, so from now on my posts will be in Ironhand Graphics pack. Good luck to teams 1, 2 and 3. Our fortunes rise and fall together.
