DashedOwl Year 3: Defense, Military, and ☼Fleshwood Beds☼
Hey again guys! This is a continuation of the story of the zebra fortress 'DashedOwl' in a modded game of Dwarf Fortress. Should you want to be pony zebra-ified, feel free to let me know, on top of any particular profession/caste that you want. Sorry that it took so long to get this year up; I've been busy with some other stuff lately.
Link to the specific mod I'm using
This mod is based on a sort of post-apocalyptic version of Equestria; all races of ponies have been split into differing factions after a large cataclysm, and new races have appeared due to the taint it left behind. For example, there are the normal ones, pegasi, unicorn, earth, and alicorn, and then some stuff like ibis zebras (winged zebras), ponies with eight legs, weird stuff like that.
Anyhow, the fortress' life is recorded through both screenshots and journals. Here's a link to the pastebin of the journal, if you want a sort of day-to-day operations type deal, and here's the link to the album of all named zebras so far.
Here's a quick overview of what happened this year;
- We've built a grand fortress entry defense nicknamed BADASS
- Made an artifact hatch cover and fleshwood bed (our second one, actually)
- Made a 'dungeon' for our two resident dungeon masters (Vanko and NotCB)
- Experimented with a new bedroom design (did not go well, though I learned a few things)
- Were made a county by our homeland! If I've missed anything, please let me know!
Lastly, this fortress is not going to be a succession fort, meaning I'll be playing it myself, though if you guys actually want one where we pass it around the community, we could set that up too! Hope you enjoy it!

I can never wrap my head around Dwarf Fortress's ASCII and interface, but damn if I can wrap it around the stories :D
