I'd like to imagine that the dwarf who discovered the Swamp of Brightness was originally going to name it "The Horrid Dismal Swamp," before he realized that wouldn't really draw in any immigrant dwarves or really bring him any fame. IDK but I think it'd be pretty interesting cannon.
I'm loving that you're staying in a single world for so long. you really get to dive deep and know the lore of the world. it feels more familiar, in a way. keep it up!
and thats how this type of genre should be played. and probably you can inherit the savegame to your kid if you want. this genre should not be boring. and you should not give up so easily. and no need mods.
If you haven't seen it before, Steelclutches -- kruggs first ever series has 4 parts following the same civilization in the same world. The second part is interesting because it's entirely an adventure mode game. It's older so he hadn't quite hit his stride yet and the art doesn't start to show up at all for a few episodes and then isn't nearly as common as his later series. But it was what hooked me onto his channel. Plus, the very first episode has the most adorable intro song for a dwarf fortress lets play ever.
@@anarchoyeasty3908 It's fair to warn people that it's Profane Krugg at the time, which was a bit of a shock. Enjoyable series once you get past the doomed initial fort, though!
@@asureaskie Haah I totally forgot about his early profanity. Now, I swear like a mother-****er so it didn't bother me. But yes, early krugg is not children friendly
I can imagine the titan just looking at them with interest. Ya know? Wondering around tall pillars all day gets boring. Now Krugg supplied him with the equivalent of an ant farm. Or a TV.
i really like the marsh titan's design, the weird decorations on it especially kind of implying it has let someone decorate it at some point, possibly hinting at its intelligence being more than that of just a beast
The hunting fortresses always ends in one of the two ways... Gloriously remembered and still proudly standing, or completely crushed under one particularly dangerous forgotten beast... Both are always fun endings...
The shrinebuilders must have been a powerful culture. It must be a place of honor! I bet something super valuable is there! ... Why is my hair falling out?
@@Goozeeeee Yep! I couldn't stop thinking about it when I watched the video. Also man I really need to watch this series, I stopped after a few episodes.
If the dog breeding works out you should show updates for each generation, to show their gradual evolution from cute whippet things to monster-hunting mastiffs the size of horses that can breathe fire. Dogs do that in DF, right?
The pillars of the shrine remind me of those concepts for warnings about nuclear waste that would hopefully last into the far future. Maybe whoever built the shrine meant it as a warning against the Marsh Titan.
I love getting to know some dwarves intimately and following their personal stories, it was missing a bit in Northbridge because there were so many of them so I'm really glad for this small party
he's already got two pairs of dwarves, hopefully they're interested in making babies and gets perhaps a third couple aswell. two pairs are what can make a sustaining population as their children can continue the effort and cousins can marry aswell. the real killer is if a dwarf in a marriage is not interested in having babies - as that ties up their mate who otherwise would have been interested but now cant due to no extramarital pregnancy. asexuals and the gey variety are not really a problem unless you get many of them.
This is amazing, when I generate a new world I never really understand the size and complexity of the lore it creates. I think that is the one of the best ways to play DF, to learn and live a world for a long time .Eager to see the next episode!
I really dig having all of the fortresses in one world, makes me feel immersed and its really cool to check in on all of the past forts and see sorta the politics in the world. I think it'd be real cool to delve into each nation and just general world events for future stuff (This fortress being centered around the 7 dwarves). Keep up the good work!
recently picked up this up game after being a long time of being too intimidated by it. after learning how to play the game i set up a remote fort up in the north, things went well for a time, lots of gems, they were the main export, things were looking good until too many dwarves arrived drank the stocks of booze, the fort devolved into bloody riots, the final death knell for the fort was the arrival of a forgotten beast, i think it was more of a mercy then a tragedy that it arrived.
I'm really enjoying having these fortresses sharing the same world. Its something I really liked about the Honeystoker and Scorchfountain play throughs. Its fun to see a wider world, especially since you create such wonderful lore out of the snippets and prompts that the game give you. Thanks for making these lovely videos
I really love your videos. You are such a good storyteller. The hand-drawn art and your narration really give this game another dimension of character. I discovered your channel back when Northbridge just was starting out and got hooked ever since. Thank you for introducing me to this game and thank you for your hard work to tell those stories.
Love the designs of the dwarves! Excited for a fortress with only 7 dwarves! Back when the steam version was just released I had a fortress where I didn't get any migrants beside the first guaranteed wave and I felt so much more attached to my dwarves. That and it's also way less of a headache to satisfy them all. Now every dwarf can get the focus he deserves! Do note that you won't get any strange moods when you have a population lower than 20. You could get around this by allowing visitors to be part of your fortress, but that kinda feels against the spirit of the fort. Maybe it's possible to change the minimum pop in the init?
You can't change the minimum required population in d_init sadly enough. If you really want artifacts you could switch over to DFHack, which has an option to force a strange mood on a dwarf. Could be interesting to come up with your own requirements for a strange mood though, perhaps when a dwarf realizes their dream?
I love the poetry of a weaponsmith who hates violence. Is the drive to create just too great for her to overcome? Does she do it out of duty? Does she just think swords are cool?
I like small forts. Gives each dwarf the chance to truly shine, makes every small accomplishment a worthy one. And also really encourages creativity as you're in no rush to expand constantly whenever you get massive migrant waves. They tend to last longer for me, to the point they grow organically as children and born and grow up and forge their own niches.
That forest titan is frikkin magnificent. Your art is so amazingly charming and great. Such bold lines, i love it. Having a Kruggsmash episode show up in the feed is always a treat.
been a way from this channel for some time; sorta fell out of DF as i got busy with other things, but looking forward to catching up on spearcavern! also wonderful to see the art improve since i last recall, great stuff c:
Love this concept. I always like getting to know the dwarves a little better, and I think character-driven stuff can work really well if there are good motivations, like with The Watchful Eyes or Splatterface. The hunting motif is really cool too, I'm excited to see what you and the dwarves can do with this.
Great episode, dude :D Soo excited for this fort! Anything to deal with hunting monsters has my attention XD Looking forward to seeing this small group take on giants! Here's hoping they can slay that titan and write their names in dwarven history!
I may not see your uploads the day, week, or month they happen, but i absolutely love coming back to check your channel and seeing i have multiple hours of magical story telling to indulge myself with. Thanks for what you do!
I just want to say that I appreciate how much effort you put into your videos Kruggsmash. The incredible art you make and the way you roleplay the dwarves really does amaze me. You breathe so much life into this game. Dwarf Fortress is great, but I can confidently say we watch these videos because of you, not the game. You are a master storyteller, through and through. Keep giving us kickass content!
Looks like the start of another legendary series! I can't believe you have steel already, what a promising start for some dwarven monster hunters. I not only look forward to this series, I'm also interested to see how (or if) Spearcavern and the events that take place in this series have an effect on the in-game world at large, in such that it may further affect whatever series comes after this one. I think Krugg has really been showing how his skills as an artist, player, and narrator cotinue to improve.
I love the way you've bounced between longer series and one-off forts in this world. It's been fantastic watching the story of the Lancer of Oiling evolve, and each band of dwarves find different ways of expressing wealth in their main goddess's honor. Thanks Krugg for being the best in the business!
First time in a while I got to watch the episode on release day. This focus on the Lancer of Oiling has me wondering how the other dwarven civilizations are doing? Also, I always appreciate how you vary your style in each series.
I've been watching your videos for years now and I still can't get over how well you bring these dwarfs and creatures to life. You must have a kind eye for people. I'm already so invested!
Hadn't checked out a video in a couple years, but came back to see how you were doing after the Steam release. The drawings are so different! It's such a unique style! I love it!
I dropped out of the channel a while ago, 4 minutes into the video I am stunned by the quality of everything: the drawings, the sound, the colors, the narration, the steam game lol. So glad these videos are still being made
In particular I love the titan's design. You really captured that regal look while still keeping it imposing as all hell. Truly a worthy foe for the expedition to eventually slay!
I love the fact you built this fortress and started this story in the same world as Northbridge! maybe we will see some more recurring characters in the future? or maybe the legends of this new fortress will be a complete legend and a new story leaving its mark in the world as this hunting colony with a few fun characters who may eventually lead to an expansion as the Dwarven civilization grows north!
I love when I come back to your channel and find a series I can binge watch. In don't remember exactly, but a few years ago when I first round your channel I was in a dark place in life. Your videos helped keep my mind occupied. You have a gift my man and will be sad of you ever stop.
The personality of the Dwarfs is as important as you make it. For me this is the main draw of watching your videos vs spending that time playing the game myself. Whether your characterisation of them comes from their in game description, their automated actions and choices, Your artwork, or even entirely out of your own imagination without ingame prompt it doesnt matter to me. You make these dwarfs characters in the story in a way that the game never does on its own, and it makes for a much better tale.
@@kruggsmash I hope it goes well and you don't have to replace too many of the starting seven dwarves, we all know how fickle this game can be in fights!
so excited for this new series! love the idea of a smaller, more personal fortress. the designs and personalities of all these dwarves are excellent too!
I love this channel. Its so amazing getting to see your creativity, storytelling skills, and drawings (thank you mrs kruggsmash for the color). This channel is one of my favorites!
hell yeah, new series! i'm excited by the prospect of a smaller population this time. my favourite forts are the ones where you can really scale things down and get to know the dwarves
The music was great in this episode! I also really enjoyed the parallax effect in the opening. And I like the idea of a smaller fortress, too. I think with a smaller band of dwarves you might get some really interesting stories. Also: "Really wants to cook that marsh titan" and "Really wants to eat that marsh titan." I appreciate dwarves who have their priorities straight!
took a long break from Dwarf fortress but i'm back in it now. And i'm so glad to see you're still doing your thing, king. thank you for he masterful story telling.
Oooo I remember embarking on the junction of two swamp biomes and a mountain back in the day. I wanted to see if I could capture and breed them giant gators and build a gator based economy.
For Wisp disliking warfare/martial skill in spite of being obsessed with weaponsmithing, maybe that could be explained by them liking/valuing weaponry an its quality so much that they dismiss the warriors making use of it. Sorta, "The spear is doing all the work" to put it in a way
My grandfather (Duncan hamish of clan McCullim) destroyed a beehive once, the bees were furious he ran for three miles before he came across a lake. he quickly fashioned a straw out of a read and jumped in He waited in that lake for forty years Every day we would pour soup, fresh water and some Whiskey down his straw He would tell us tales of his youth thru morse code bubbles One summer there was a drought, and the lake dried up The bees were swift and ruthlessly efficient they beat him viciously, for days we would hear him scream and beg for his life. But it didn't matter to the bees, he had wronged them and they would have their revenge A week later my father found him hanging by a noose next to the same beehive he had attacked so long ago
I love your voice recording style! Really helps me get into the video like it's a documentary of some journey, and you were a historian with the group.
I LOVE seeing more fortresses set in the same world. More patterns (or "patterns") in the randomly generated AI action shows up over a longer period of time.
These series you make are genuinely fantastic. Your production, storytelling, editing, and drawings make this amazing to watch. Plus these expeditions and events your dwarves go on ignites my imagination for ttrpg campaigns to make!
I'd like to imagine that the dwarf who discovered the Swamp of Brightness was originally going to name it "The Horrid Dismal Swamp," before he realized that wouldn't really draw in any immigrant dwarves or really bring him any fame. IDK but I think it'd be pretty interesting cannon.
you know, that tracks pretty well. Hoping these dwarves didn't have their hopes very high!
So he did a Greenland.

@@ohthreefiftyone First thing that remind me of, too. Prank'd! Haha
@@kruggsmashhow did you find the shrine while embarking?
Also, what was the size of the embark square for this fortress?

I can imagine the titan just looking at them with interest. Ya know? Wondering around tall pillars all day gets boring. Now Krugg supplied him with the equivalent of an ant farm. Or a TV.
ha! you know, thats a good point. Probably not thinking these weird little creatures are much of a threat either, eh? well, we'll show 'im!
They're just watching with a bucket of giant grasshoppers
The titan may be setting up a farm of dwarves.
Or an endless buffet.
@@Maggot-Milk Well Krugg said he's keeping their numbers small so not very likely to have that
i really like the marsh titan's design, the weird decorations on it especially kind of implying it has let someone decorate it at some point, possibly hinting at its intelligence being more than that of just a beast
It'd be neat if forgotten beasts had varying intelligence levels, honestly
@@twiexcursoriThat would actually be kind of cool idea.
make the stupid ones obey the intelligent ones@@twiexcursori
The hunting fortresses always ends in one of the two ways...
Gloriously remembered and still proudly standing, or completely crushed under one particularly dangerous forgotten beast...
Both are always fun endings...
Tbf, being crushed by one such beast still leads a certain air to the legend of the fallen home.
I cannot overstate how much I love how the lancers of Oiling commemorate everything in bead/armband form.
The shrinebuilders must have been a powerful culture. It must be a place of honor! I bet something super valuable is there!
... Why is my hair falling out?
Congrats, you have found Balder’s Gate.
Is this a reference to “Long-term nuclear waste warning messages?”
@@Goozeeeee Yep! I couldn't stop thinking about it when I watched the video. Also man I really need to watch this series, I stopped after a few episodes.

"No great deed is done here. It is as dangerous for you as it was for us."
Dwarves: "I'm gonna pretend I didn't read that!"
"What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us"
I just wish to stress how well paced your recent videos have been! You've refined your editing style and art to such a degree it's amazing
I just randomly remembered about this channel after many years and holy shit has the quality gone up significantly. I’m so glad he’s still doing it.
Interesting choice to make the alligator look like a gharial!

Tex sent me here. I honestly came hoping to find a guide but I got invested in the story telling.
I cannot wait to see more of this Fortress, I can already tell this is going to be a good one.
I love the poetry of a weaponsmith who hates violence. Is the drive to create just too great for her to overcome? Does she do it out of duty? Does she just think swords are cool?
Spearcavern brings a real "This is not a place of honor" energy that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission does not appreciate.
Damn, hope copperdots and the other forts can make it through the seiges. I hope to see how they change the world along with your forts.

That ancient shrine/lair is so cool! I'm curious as to how you found it, or was it just a coincidence?
I would like to know too
You can enable the ability to see monster dens while embarking, i have used it to embark on a dragons den (and successfully captured it)
What an interesting idea. Like a good old fashioned adventuring party. Can't wait to see how this one pans out.
I love the way you pose everything you draw, even the insects have specific attitudes, it's awesome!
I love hearing Northbridge's motif play whenever you pan over to it on the map in these later videos.

My grandfather (Duncan hamish of clan McCullim) destroyed a beehive once, the bees were furious he ran for three miles before he came across a lake.
he quickly fashioned a straw out of a read and jumped in
He waited in that lake for forty years
Every day we would pour soup, fresh water and some Whiskey down his straw
He would tell us tales of his youth thru morse code bubbles
One summer there was a drought, and the lake dried up
The bees were swift and ruthlessly efficient they beat him viciously, for days we would hear him scream and beg for his life.
But it didn't matter to the bees, he had wronged them and they would have their revenge
A week later my father found him hanging by a noose next to the same beehive he had attacked so long ago

God bless old Krugg! Our dwarf in the norf has done it again.
I'm so late to the show but I wanted to say that I love the dwarf designs so much in this one! Gutter and Queen Bee look fantastic
Year after year and séries after series and I never get tired of your stunning art my man. Fantastic stuff
An inspiration, an Icon, a dwarf.
Time to dig out my dusty DF videoproject and draw some more pictures for it!
Nice work! And 33:21 That is charming, Ivan music is soo good.
I LOVE seeing more fortresses set in the same world. More patterns (or "patterns") in the randomly generated AI action shows up over a longer period of time.
gosh dang the lancer of oiling seems to be taking over this world pretty well
These series you make are genuinely fantastic. Your production, storytelling, editing, and drawings make this amazing to watch. Plus these expeditions and events your dwarves go on ignites my imagination for ttrpg campaigns to make!
Absolutly love the Titan and Gutter's drawings !! (and the giant croc too !)
Huzzah and rejoice for another legend has been carved for us by the great and powerful Krugg!
This was fantastic. Great work as always. I love the art for "Gutter" in particular.
