lukaus Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Heller. Seems like it would be fun to get a succession game of Dwarf Fortress going with you, fellow Zomboiders! (though not in a reanimation biome... shudder.. dwarves and zombies don't mix) For those unfamiliar:Dwarf Fortress is a ASCII community management/fort building with lots of depth and suchhttp://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ In a succession game, players would take turns playing through a year in the fortress's life, then upload the save for the next player to do the same within a certain amount of time. Repeat until everyone is dead, insane, or otherwise lacking a sound mind or body. Would anyone be interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathlord Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I would but I'd probably need some time (read: a decade) to figure out how to do the basics like... eat. Addy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshotkill Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I would but I'd probably need some time (read: a decade) to figure out how to do the basics like... eat.I'm pretty sure Lukaus will take care of the basics, you will very likely have the task of improving defences and searching for minerals... Although I would really like to join I can't, Dwarf fortress is a game that you can only play when you feel 'ready' for it and that's not the case for me now.

lukaus Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Heh, that'd be fine. You can just get one of the later slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augur Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Sure, I'll give myself a refresher on the game. Even if I fail to make some epic lava-spewing statue of a cheese wheel I'd at least keep the dwarves mostly alive. I'm still not sure how I kept my last fort alive with silver warhammers (Wiffleball bats because of silver's weight apparently) and nothing to eat/drink but purple helmets.

Rathlord Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I'd be even more terrified of a later slot because I have NO idea how military works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addy Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I'd like to join aswell, but I am afraid that none of the dwarfs will still be standing when I upload the save. So I'll pass for now. But mabey later, when I got more into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I would but we have a problem. I have no fucking idea how to play Dwarf Fortress. :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukaus Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 It probably won't matter much if no one knows what to do. These poor dwarves are doomed to death either way. Seriously though, don't sweat it. It takes more than a year for a fort to completely fall apart. Okay, that was a lie. Anyways, we can choose a (relatively) peaceful place to make the fort. So, if you have any desire at all to participate, cast all doubt on your ability aside, and give it a shot! Losing is fun, after all! So! Augur and I (edit: and schmonzo! sorry)are definitely in. We can work something out for that, too, Rathlord. I consider millitary my specialty! (Lukian definition of specialty: lock them all in a dark dangerous room, drop the survivours on attakers) If, Austin, Headshot, and Addy, you change your minds, just let me know! I'm being serious when I say don't worry about how good you consider yourself at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezi Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Urr, didn't know what it was, google'd it, saw one screenshot, realized it wasn't my kind of game. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rathlord Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Oh what the hell, I'm in. I'll start it even. I'm assuming cross platform saves are compatible ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathlord Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I might even record my year so it could be watched back and I could be made fun of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukaus Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 They are, as far as I know. Also, generally a story or summary is made to let everyone know the notable events that took place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
