The fortress first: This is Gorgecontrol------------------------------
This fortress was made after a dragon burned down my hippie-commune I was making on a dare from Viymese- my brother -who told me to do it. The game crashed however half-way throguh the attack and the dragon was basically killing EVERYTHING. Had it not burned the birdge down and trapped me on an island, it would've gotten in and slaughtered all my drunken-midgets with glee! So.. In the spirit of the consequences, I abandoned the fortress.
------------------------------
Gorgecontrol was set up to attract the dragon and in all, be a successful military fortification with segie engines and an awesome death-count. Killing goblins like no-one's business and overall being the best I could make it with squads of crossdwarves playing hammer-dwarves.
The Main hall
The Rooms, tombs and storage
------------------------------
However... I hit demons... I got that precious cyan stone and hit the clowns IMMEDIATELY!... well, after getting my second vain of Adimantine... either way, FUN had begun~!!!
So, panicking like a little hell-yon, I manage to seal them into the 3rd cavern.... ... They've taken my cavern now and killed my midgets. I want my midgets to have vengeance!!!
VENGEANCE~!
So, I tried, failed, tried an failed, losing about 20 dwarves, 2 mesosoups, a Tartiflet and killing Dark Rvenent once... along with some others. So, after all that. a dwarf named Zefon Megem is tasked with trying his luck... and the bastard did it. He did what 20 dwarves couldn't and now has the title "BADASS McGEE" because he was the only one to go down that hole and survive that long.
this is what he did.
With the demons busy in the magma, and the rest enraptured by the Bauxite hatch cover "The Hoary Warmth". Megem managed to make a wall, sealing the demons out of the cavern, but now... Now there was the entry to the cavern on the other side! Trying his luck he wandered around the cavern and got to the enternce, sealed it up, and then, the bottom where the demons' cackling an croons of awe could be heard. He walled them in. Armok smiled and the demons were sealed away! THE FORTRESS WAS SAFE!!!
It even had it's first vain of Adimantine to enjoy still!
------------------------------
Now that leaves me with this though. Do I retire the fortress an set up a random fortress somewhere in the world? Or do I try making an adventure and scouting around for a fortress site where I won't have damn ZINC all the time? ... Kind'a tired of ZINC. SO MUCH ZINC!!! @~@ I keep getting zinc, i have no ores worth while expect for gold! and the fortress is BORING. It's boring now and I don't want to kill it... It's a good fort... :C
So, what do you think I should do guys? Fortress Mode randomly somewhere hoping for no Zinc if possible? (I mean, I can't even use it for Trap components!!!) Or do I send a singular scout out into the world and see about remembering the place on the map?
Three options for the poll and lemme know what you all think!
