I have been playing dwarf fortress bc my gf introduced me to it and I've done several runs.
This last world I rolled is called the Oracular Lands and the summation u need to know of the history is that several demons popped up and staunchly refused to go to war, instead doing civil development. The goblins and dwarves were mostly writing books and being chill, unless a monster fucked with their house. The elves and humans hated a single goblin city so much the histories recorded ten separate raids before it was razed. The only time a demon got into wars was bc it adopted the goblins and kept having a rivalry with 1 single elf general. All wars became v short and uneventful when the elf was replaced. The few dragons spawned tended to kill everything until stopped by either an unnamed dwarf, an unnamed goblin, or a blind cave ogre. A blind cave ogre killed 9/12 big fuck off disaster beasts. The books being written all were either about the failings of current political structures or irrigation. Otherwise they were about visions of making it to the moon and a multi century debate on who would get there first. The only books that didnt fit the above were a single necromancer writing travel guides to his tower bc he kept building shit and hoping for tourists.
My latest fort was a whole 4 z levels above the first cavern. As in the surface embark, then me digging down three looking for stone and soil poked a hole into the caverns.
This gave me a whole plateau with easily defensible angles on the rest of the cavern. It has an overhang above a huge underground lake that I can very easily put a well on with a grate one level down to keep anything from flying up it. And I have a p straight shot to making a fishing outpost down there that I can secure.
The only thing above ground is, I think, gonna be surface farming bc I like having variety for my dworf food.
I need you all to understand though that I made this embark with the sole idea that they'd die to me fucking up practicing punching through an aquifer or something. I have no plan here.
But through the power of fucking around, this new fort shall prosper. In spite of it all.
