“Just Don’t Die”
Mining is literally the first thing you do in most playthroughs. It’s the basis for the most important economies and how you design almost all of your fort. Can you even survive without it? What about going out and winning wars while armed only in what you find without the most fundamental part…

have you tried not dying?
It's not a true Just Don't Die video without chronic aquatic issues leading to a minimum of 2 deaths
I didn’t even know you could make clothing/armour out of shells I’ll have to try that for aesthetics/ marksdwarves
Also as someone who tried and failed to conquer a goblin empire because of its demonic leader, seeing the message about the jade brute being beheaded gave me a great big smile.
such a fucking fun way to play a fortress inspired me
Ah yes the classic "No digging" run. A golden way to go about it.
Amazing video. I don't have much to say, just dropping this here so more people can hopefully see this!
I haven't played Dwarf Fortress and this is the only channel where I've watched it. Because of that the only thing I know about mist generators is that they're so hard to build properly that you've failed initially every time.
gotta love taking the concept of goblinium to its absolute maximum like this.
What is a worse punishment for a dwarf?
Being forbidden from mining or getting shaved?
I've taken this challenge and ended up making a 40k-type hive-city where my dwarves went from "oh we can't dig under a mountain? Then we'll make a new mountain to live under."
It was a pyramid at first, which turned into a 360º maginot-like inneficient and cramped but extremely defensible fortress, as clumped and tight as possible, all above the starting plains z level.
Granted at the end all corners of the map are strip mined and entrenched to hell with traps, such that i've been sitting for a while, idle, waiting to see if the "bulge of hell" would eventually collapse but it's population rose to its stability cap and stayed there for 200 years over a couple of real time nights.
Without my supervision, evil was thwarted at every turn and some were catastrophic on other playtroughs. Virtually every issue has self resolved so…
Maybe all they need trully is some lack of oversight or digging too soon too deep is a meta doomed to fail?
I'll try this again and this time ill collect more data.
A two hour Just Don't Die video? I must be dreaming
Great video.
I use to give all my civilians shell armor. You can pick armor by color instead of by metal, so white for bone and grey for mussels (said also for iron)
some good ass content
I honestly was sorta half expecting for mining to begin once you got a metal smith setup, but I guess the rules were just that strict.
Also it would be cool to see more songs of Syx.
Such a good narrative and setup!
Those phantom populations that stop you razing sites are usually criminal organisations that technically live there but don't belong to the ruling civilisation so don't count as your enemy. They don't stop you occupying the place either so it's not a massive deal it's just unintuitive.
2:35, WOAH there. Hold it on the goblin racism, my dude. They can OCCASIONALLY be good members of society.
Amazing video mate, I really enjoyed this.
Your ability to spin a good yarn is amazing.
you should continue this. You could justify it story wise with the fact that now that they know they wont be accepted back they decide to ignore their rule to not mine and start expanding down. Trying to flourish by doing that which was them denies for oh so long. And maybe plot revenge against the Empire that abandoned them.
very enjoyable video, its fun how constraining your possibilites often leads to engaging gameplay and stories.
I was genuinely upset at the homeland not sending caravans or migrants. Great story.
Congrats, youve made short, hairy, elves
I really enjoyed listening to this while I cleaned. Your narration makes this very easy to listen to.
For your dwarves drinking pondwater, I think you could have probably set up wells over your running water for the mist generator, and marked that as the only clean water gathering area. if not that, then you could have built a hollow tower and let the water fill that on its way out, and used that as a cistern for the well.
I'm excited to see you try to conquer the world again! im glad that i found your channel and I hope you get to keep making more videos.
Lastly, if their home empire broke their promise of ending their exile, then I think that the dwarves of Ciloblensham are no longer beholden to that same promise either. Let the strike the earth, and rebuild themselves into a new empire to rival the old… or re-arm to return home by force if necessary…
I like to think that prehaps these dwarves had a bit of morrowind armor aesthetic going on
The greatest insult to a Dwarf, living like an elf 🙁
The amount of time and effort that clearly went into this video is amazing
lets fucking gooo 🎉🎉🎉
….
That opening just makes me want to see a Slayer run (as in the Warhammer Dwarfs).
No armor, and must seek glorious death via battling the foes of dwarven kind and monsters of all stripes.
The exiles return to the empire, and move to form a new hold in the area, a true fort this time, and become Mountainhome, to lure in the king's court, who will die for their acts when their throne room fills with lava.
Reason for making metal blocks instead of bars: If you use bars, they still show in your stocks menu as bars even when constructed, making it difficult to determine how many you have freely available at a glance.
The map unironically looks like the island of Britain had Canada instead of Scotland
Man I've always played Dwarf Fortress to chill and here's this guy playing like a masochist.
Ahh… it's not possible to make Memorials if you don't have stone huh? Well yeah, this ones gunna be ghost central I thought and was right.
Lack of migrants was crazy though… I wonder what caused that tbh?
