Well.... that spiraled interestingly. "we'll trade with them." NO, SLAUGHTER THEM FOR THE BADGERLORD! what shocked me the most was how matter of factly that happened.
I didn't read the title, so I thought this all seemed like an idyllic Gnome or Halfling Fortress in the making with a genuine good relationship with the elves, but then after the skip near the end with how things turned out I started laughing until I cried.
"This fort is heresy. Dwarfs weren't meant to live on the surface like elves or man. Nor are they meant to live among trees. Dwarves are meant to rule the underground! And slay every tree that dare grow, and slay every elf that may roam! For the deep people!" -Ulf Brownstone, shortly before him and his fortress were overrun by 8 pages of angry elves for cutting down every tree on the map and paving it
Idea for a future fort. Embarking on a tiny island and build a fort that covers the whole landmass. Maybe a merfolk "farm" for extra industrial nightmare points.
Is it possible to have an island that small? From the look of the maps I assumed they would all be a certain size, I really hope that it it possible, I'd like to see a fort that tries to get all it's food from the ocean
It's an idea. Usually you can't find island quite small enough to cover with a single fort though. I dunno, I think theres something in the code that prevents them from being too small.
What if you just picked a smallish island and put multiple forts across the landmass? You can put them next to each other and uh. Repurpose the surface to be a metropolis
"Leader!" "What's the matter my dear dwarf" "I want to expand our territory" "It is a good idea. I can help you if you want anything. What do you want?" "137 cats." "1-137? Why?" "I just want it, as companions." "All-right, you can have it." "Yes! I can be the crazy cat-lady I always wanted." "What was that, my dear dwarf." "It is nothing, leader." And this is how Angry Bushlets were found kids
Ooooh Armok, I love how unhinged the Fort got, and you as well near the end. Lovely! And for a good cause. I could have sworn I actually did domesticate Wild Boars a few versions of DF back, maybe four years ago, but who knows, things might have changed. Still, it was quite entertaining, and I loved your burrow idea. I've done a tribe of "hill dwarves" many a time, settling on a side of a hill, with a few "tiers" of semi-dugouts, doing similar things as you did, first digging out a squallid bedrooms, then nicening it up and building a log cabin aboveground portion for each of the houses, making for a private dining room or just an enlargement of the bedroom. Then a pallisade around the lot of it, wooden fort with the militia, the boar (and few bears!) stockade, with longland beer and strawberry wine aplenty to go with boar roasts, and the trout from the brook, it was a good life there! Anyway, I look forward to the next time, you magnificent bastard.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure the elves “grow” their wood into shape. As in, they use their tree magic or maybe moulds or something, plant a sapling, then grow it into the shape they want including crafts, thrones, cages, armor, weapons, etc.
Can you try a fortress where multiple races, goblins, dwarves, humans, elves, animal people, live and work together, perhaps as an experiment by the High Council of Clans?
That happens by accident if you have a huge, popular tavern. You'll end up with, literally, 100 entertainers from every race. About 1/3 will become citizens. Then someone from.one race kills another and you get to witness the purge, but in Dwarf Fortress. Its magnificent.
One of the great things about the multi-culture fort is that Goblin citizens (and I believe visitors too) have some sort of tag in the programming that causes them to go all in if they ever get into a fight. Urist McMiner decides to throw a punch at Gobo McImmigrant and all of the sudden it's WWE fortress wide with the loyalty cascade. Hide your kids, hide your wives, it's Battle Royal!
All hail the badger overlords! I'll tell you, Dwarf Fortress is already one of my favorite games, but the roleplay capabilities of this game make it even better.
Ohmy god, you need a trap that drops snakes on invaders! I bet it could be surprisingly effective. Just imagine, a goblin siege drowning in tiny poisonous bitey things!
A beautiful, naturalistic above ground fort that exists in harmony with the surrounding nature? While obviously gorgeous in its aesthetic we all knew this could only end in madness.
looking at the art for it it really did look pretty The stone walls married with the soft earth and wilderness around and atop them I might have to take notes
"Which actually brings me to another point, one that some of you may have seen coming, but if I could just bed your ear for a second while I'd like to tell you about #teamtrees ." 27:18 I didn't see that coming at all! I even donated to treamtrees when it started and I never thought you'd join in too! Really cool :D
You can build stairs to the branches, to save the sheep Branches work similarly to normal ground and can be built on with for example floor, but the floor vanishes if you cut the tree
Ohhhh I love the plants in this tileset. Usually I prefer pure vanilla ASCII but those plant and grass icons are so lovely! I also love the "Yup, things are looking good! [dip to black] Well, the fortress has descended into chaos and all the elves are dead." And great shoutout to Team Trees, they're doing a good thing and a good thing is a good thing even if it doesn't solve all the problems in the world. Just donated 5 trees and I think I might do a fundraiser stream to see if we can give em another boost!
Hey Kruggsmash, just wanted to let you know: Thanks for reminding me of the teamtrees effort, i forgot it existed and now i donated some! and of course, thank you for making these lovely videos and amazing drawings!
17:55 I'm fairly convinced the trees just grow up, plopping out of ground at high speeds I imagine, and drag up any animals around them that happen to be on their way. Happened a few times during one of my fortresses, lots of cows that were designated to an area near trees suddenly ended up on top of branches and they went missing for months until I noticed their corpses lol.
*Mountainhomes official comes to Angry Forest* ... WHAT? What the hell all those trees are doing here? You're PROTECTING them? Travesty! Wait until dwarven Inquisition hears about this! *sees the Bone Tree* Ah... *Sees the elven corpse pile* Oh. Nevermind then. Carry on, good dwarves!
I was going to comment at how adorable this video was. I was smiling the whole way through, the drawn pictures of the animals earning the most amount of points from me. I also liked learning about the game's mechanics when it comes to animal training and domestication; those are the kinds of facts you don't usually learn about when you're playing a regular dwarf fort. Just a really wonderful episode and I'm tempted to say that this has been one of my favorite short forts in a while. I was laughing like crazy when the ending came around and we learned that all of the elves in the world had been wiped out and that the fortress had turned into an insane asylum. Just wonderful. Thanks for sharing Kruggsmash!
I love these so much. Honestly watching them rekindled my love of city builders and things like rimworld. Personally waiting on that steam dwarf fortress so watching this makes for some good time spent in the mean time!
Still turned into an artifact (insert here the dumbest yet funniest name of the artifact ever, but not the humid balls) This is a decorated tree. All craftsdwarfship of the highest quality. It is decorated with sheep, dwarf and deer bone. On the item is an image of elves and dwarves in dwarf bone. Dwarves are striking down elves. Dwarves are laughing...
a whole elaborate video, that probably took hours if not days to make (wiping out civs, going through many years), all to promote team trees. A truly worthy cause
Man, you sure have built forts in some wacky places Kruggsmash. From Volcano forts to forest retreats to ocean platforms and under slime-soaked tundras. Always leaves me wondering what's next. Perhaps a top a giant platform atop a tower on a mountain peak, looking out over the rest of the world? Or mayhaps oneday you'll colonize Hell itself. I never know what to expect, and I think thats why I so adore these short forts.
Interesting thing about adders: They have no child form, meaning they are considered adults from the moment they hatch. This makes it very easy to start an addersplosion...very little waiting time. Unfortunately it also means dorfs can't fully tame them, so unless you get them pre-tamed from the elves an adder hatchery is going to cause some minor issues of the "job interrupted by adder" variety.
Haha, loved the humor in this episode. You really managed to capture that desperate, manic, gibbering energy at the end. Great work as always! Now throw it on the pile... :-p
I've always been curious to see a fortress that doesn't cut down trees and I'm quite pleased that you partook in this challenge and a clever way to integrate the team trees cause too.
Forgot it was Dwarf Fortress Thursday. Looking forward to what this episode has in store! Edit: A pretty interesting episode overall, especially with the dwarves cramming so many snakes into one cage. Out of curiosity, have you ever made it a goal of your fortress to conquer the circus and capture the clowns within? Apparently you can use webbing and cage traps to catch clowns (since they normally can't be caged, though thats where the webs come in). Just a thought if you wanted to try something hardcore. Looking forward to the next episode!
Kruggsmash: Yes, this fortress is very peaceful at the moment. We don't have much use for these badgers but it's nice to be on such good terms with the local elves. Me: *looks nervously at the title of the video*
Hi Kruggsmash, new subscriber here, just want to say I've really gotten into your fortress playthroughs! It's your illustrations that make it for me, they really bring the game to life! Keep up the good work!

I love dwarf fortress.
You elves aren't zealous about nature enough. You think trees are the ultimate form when really it's badgers.

making elves extinct IS how you appreciate elven culture.
if you want to honor it as well, you make them extinct by eating them.

Why shear the trees when you can shear the tree sheep? *life hacks with Kruggsmash*
Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure the elves “grow” their wood into shape. As in, they use their tree magic or maybe moulds or something, plant a sapling, then grow it into the shape they want including crafts, thrones, cages, armor, weapons, etc.

Hi Kruggsmash, new subscriber here, just want to say I've really gotten into your fortress playthroughs! It's your illustrations that make it for me, they really bring the game to life! Keep up the good work!
The Asteshtulon lying on the floor is a great touch, Kruggs! Haha.
I'm loving this. From this point on I consider myself basically a druid.

Me, an intellectual: "Hahahahahaha!"
Mmmm. should've known
This fortress kinda reminds me of the European Treaty Ports that used to be in China during the Colonial Period.
... ok. That was a nice, wholesome episode... and than the epilogue happened xD
Y'know, I'm always intrigued by the forts and adventures you make.
But this?
I read this title out loud and I was made speechless. I HAD to know more.
You can also build step ladders and they will move them to the trees and use the ladders to climb up the trees and get the fruit. Its pretty awesome.
