I'm a programmer (personally and professionally). I like roguelikes (ascended one barbarian in Nethack) and try to work on them, but don't have anything impressive to show you.

After running out of [[food]] due to not assigning [[crops]] to be grown, I set this fortress aside to start Region 3 rather than watch everyone chase rodents and [[Losing#Starvation|starve]]. Later returned to it with more expertise, got food from a [[caravan]], and managed a full recovery. Still have the in-progress save game, but stopped playing it after losing substantial progress (city walls) to a [[Init.txt#Seasonal autosave|crash]].

I got ambitious and carefully customized the fortress and party [[Name|names]] before [[embark]].
 +
 
 +
Machinehall was built in two phases:
 +
# Complex I: Single 32x32 room
 +
#* [[Workshops]] along the walls
 +
#* [[Stockpiles]] in the middle
 +
#* [[Defense design#Goblin detour|Kinked entry passage]] with [[fortifications]] for [[marksdwarves]]
 +
#* Well and waterfall in one corner
 +
# Complex II: 17 15x15 levels, with a helix [[ramp]] in the center
 +
#* Planned [[waterfall]] in the center of the ramp (never tested)
 +
#* Each level dedicated to a specific [[industry]] or activity
 +
Unfortunately, these complexes are not close together, and the transition is taking a very long time. Currently most dwarves in Machinehall can be found [[Traffic|walking in the long tunnel]] between them.
  
−
=== Simulate 9/11 ===
+
=== Queen Saga ===
−
Build a pair of very tall, identical towers, using supports, and collapse them both. Two variants:
+
Eventually, Machinehall grew enough to attract the interest of royalty. After an artifact mechanism was used in a [[Road|drawbridge]], Queen Lorbam Äkiltosid arrived and proclaimed her [[Noble#Room Requirements|demands for the finest, most lavish accommodations]] imaginable. Plans for such were drawn up immediately, and work began. Not fast enough for Her Royal Highness, however; with each passing day, the [[Thought#Unhappy thoughts|indignity of her condition weighed upon the noble monarch]], until finally one day [[Insanity|it was all too much]].
−
# Make the links between the walls and the floors tenuous, and simulate "pancaking" as magma ("jet fuel") causes them to weaken and give way.
 
−
# Controlled demolition with thermite.
 
−
* BONUS: Fill the towers with goblin cages and release them all just in time to be crushed.
 
  
−
=== Megaplumbing ===
+
Lorbam Äkiltosid, Queen has gone stark raving mad!
−
Sanitation is one of the primary concerns of city planners, yet most dwarves have no place to use the restroom. Yours will!
 
  
−
Build a giant white stone toilet that flushes, including bowl, tank, handle, and seat. Deviate from realism as little as possible. Use it to dispose of hostile captives.
+
She wandered aimlessly, overcome with despair. Where had she gone wrong? Surely road value is an excellent way to choose where to live! Eventually, the Queen threw herself into Machinehall Complex II's 17-level dry waterfall.
  
−
[http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-245-flushingtoilet GauHelldragon already did this]! Further suggestions:
+
Lorbam Äkiltosid, Queen has died after colliding with an obstacle.
−
* Don't flood the whole map.
 
−
* Emulate real toilets' mechanism for stopping flow and refilling the tank automatically.
 
  
−
=== Turnover ===
+
And her subjects [[Tantrum|mourned]]. Or at least I assume they will; the loss of the Queen prompted me to save my game (and not come back to it yet).
−
A mysterious poltergeist in your region takes an unorthodox approach to avoiding overcrowding.
 
−
# Construct a large suicide chamber or many small ones, capable of liquidating a whole fortress's population.
 
−
# At the start of each migration wave, execute all of your residents and let the migrants take over a vacant fortress.
 
  
−
* Since your population is always new, there is not enough time to build up high levels of skill.
+
=== Other Events ===
−
* On the other hand, relationships would also remain relatively shallow.
+
* First [[Tax Collector]] [[Mandate|mandated]] items made from unavailable [[materials]].
−
* Special care must be taken to protect incoming migrants since wiping them out now causes the whole fortress to fail.
+
** Innocent craftdwarf was [[Justice|blamed, charged, and executed]]!
−
* Keeping the fortress secure while it's empty has to be balanced against allowing the migrants to enter. Bridges controlled by indoor and outdoor levers may be one approach.
+
** Some time later, the Tax Collector was found starved to death in his [[Door#Door settings|locked]] quarters.
 +
* First production of [[glass]] and [[soap]].
 +
* Dug out most of bottom Z-level without finding [[magma pipe]].
  
−
* BONUS: Try to time it well enough to reduce your population briefly to 1 incoming migrant!
+

I used the site finder, with the only search parameter being the presence of a magma pipe, then carved the bottom Z-level into 5x10 chunks without finding one. However, I did eventually notice some Frogman bones in my stocks. Sure enough, these had sunk to the bottom of an undiscovered underground river.

−
* Took a while to figure out how to get my dwarves to do things. They idled while I learned [[Controls|keystrokes]].

I also got tired of under-building squalid hovels for my gloriously wealthy tribesdwarves, so I turned off rent. My long-term plan is to build better and better housing, and as they move into it, knock out the walls between older rooms to upgrade them. I might try enabling rent again in future versions if it becomes possible to undercut rents with a housing supply glut.

When the [[Dungeon Master]] finally arrived, her hood was decorated with an image of Blockedbridge's prized legendary mace. Apparently she was a fan.

Blockedbridge got off to a promising start, with the initial layout carved and all the industries ramping up. Then the [[brewer]] cancelled his task for lack of an empty [[barrel]]. There were plenty of barrels around, but they were all full of food. This seemed to be the result of a stockpiling error; there was a food-and-drink pile but no drinks-only pile, and so the [[kitchen]] outstripped the [[still]] and used up all the barrels. A plague of thirst swept the fortress, and as attempts were made to restart ale production, one of the fortress's most beloved legendary denizens perished. This was deemed an appropriate occasion for [[fun]]; all attempts at survival were forgotten, and Blockedbridge focused on leaving a good-looking corpse.

Sometime between Machinehall and Blockedbridge, I created a world in which to try [[Adventurer mode]]. The framerate was very slow and I was unable to find anything to do. I wandered through an [[Elf|Elven]] settlement talking to its residents, but none of them seemed to be the quest boss I wanted to meet, and I had no way to locate him. I decided that if I wanted a single-character questing experience, I could go play Nethack or Crawl instead, whereas [[Dwarf fortress mode]] is far more novel and interesting. Perma-saved.

The entrance was sealed, trapping a [[human]] trade delegation inside with the dwarves. Several new butcher shops were hastily erected to slaughter all the remaining animals. An engraver of legendary skill was sent to the tombs to chronicle the ongoing tragedy in stone. One by one, thirst overtook them all, in some cases while they were carrying another's remains to the cemetery.

As soon as news of Blockedbridge's fall reached the mountainhomes, a band of dwarven warriors set out to revive it, confident that they could succeed where the previous crew had failed. They found an unoccupied, ransacked, but otherwise safe fortress and set to work restoring it. This group welcomed many emigres from elsewhere, and today Blockedbridge is a thriving dwarven metropolis.

Of the trapped humans, some later died defending Blockedbridge, several rejoined their countrymen upon their next visit, and one remains to the present day.
