It’s Fortress Friday, Urists! Everyone upload an image of your current fortress, regardless of your current progress (or its state of cleanliness). Or just tell us a little about your fort!
I’m currently between forts right now. I’ve got this one, called Cobaltshowers, that I originally intended to be a succession fort, but I fell too in love with the dwarfs to turn it over. Each of the seven is named after a main character in the tv show Succession (which I have never seen), done for the purpose of trolling people who watch that show. I was hoping that if I gave dwarfs names at random, I would create a situation where some son marries his father and together they have a baby.
Instead what I ended up with is seven starting dwarfs who feel an intense need to fight, plus one lily-livered administrator.
I’m currently in the end game of what is probably the last easy fort I will try to run for a while (good climate, no undead nearby, excellent mineral availability).
I currently have 210 residents, a queen who loves cages, and every dwarven bedroom has gem-encrusted metal furniture. Last night I finally found the metal-wot-shall-not-be-named and am looking forward to doing as much as I can with that before retiring the fort.
It’s been a great fort and it’s only 8 years old, but this is the second in a row that I’ve gotten to the endgame so I think the next will have to be near some undead or other challenges.
