I'm glad to see someone else is interested in playing, so I'll go ahead and answer your questions!
1. Mmmm...that's strange, I got the same message myself.... I guess rapid share acting funny....
I guess I'll upload it to Mediafire...

Try this one, it should work I will make sure to update my first post.
2. Well Suika Fortress (Dwarf Fortress) is a game I recommend that you try out and learn. It's not something your going to learn in one night because one thing you are bound to discover is that at first it has a rather difficult learning curve.
Thankfully there's a small tutorial to do some of the basics in the game. But once you get past that and start learning how the game's system works it becomes a whole lot eaiser and is filled with lots of fun things to do. ^^
Other than that as I suggested to everyone else. Use the Dwarf Fortress Wiki! As I posted in the first post. It has proven to be very useful!
And since your signing up, you got plenty of time right now as your behind about 3 - 4 others. Which roughly gives you 3-4 weeks of time.
So good luck! And if you need help feel free to drop a message, or come to the #touhou-meido at irc.dejatoons.net on IRC
Also good going T34G3, make sure to pass the file to me once your done loading everything so we can continue...
Also I forgot to mention, Xan's dropped out from the game entirely due to school issues...so pass the file to me.
Cabble:
Why won't the suikas mine?!? >:(
Totaku:
Is there some place we can talk about it other than here since this is the relay? Such as on PM or IRC please?
Anyways, long story short, did you designate an area in the hill or mountain?
Press d for designation, then d for dig, then press enter in the area you want to start your dig point then move the course over and press enter again once you set the area. Make sure that you dig at the wall of the mountain or hill where you start your dig point. otherwise the Suikas will not have access to the dig point.
Also did you make sure to set the suika miner's preference on "mining?
to do that press v to "view unit" select the Suika, then press p for perferences, and then l for labor
make sure mining is turned on.
Totaku:
Ok for the sake of everyone who's been waiting for a report.
I'm going to ask that you all wait for a bit. As I have been in the middle of remaking Suika Fortress features so that certain things will become more interesting for everyone.
I'm currently testing out a yukkuri body structure. (Yes, I'm making yukkuris bodies to replace all the ones I have made.
So far their body connection work accordingly but there have been a few hic ups in the system....
Namely things like...
Parsees having gloves on thier tounges. :P And also the biokkuri all of a sudden died in thier cages. Because of this my run for beer axe will be slightly delayed and I'll be asking to please wait while I finish these fixes. These will make at least some things about Suika fortress more fun if not for this run, then definetely in a future run.
Totaku:
Well I finally got things running. So without further ado, let's continue to work on Suika Fortress!
10th of the First Month of Spring
With the Lily White already announcing the coming of Spring, we get a visit once again from the Parsee Diplomat. Protbably once again to talk about our tree issue they always are having…. Let’s see what we can arrange for them…
13th of the First Month of Spring
Just as soon as the Parsee came and tried to talk her way into the same offer I realized we weren’t getting anywhere… Again with the offer of a 100 tree quota….. They seriously need to increase it.. Regardless after punting her out the door way, the caravan of parseekkuri drop by….let’s see what they have to offer…. Most likely logs again….not that I’m really complaining.
15th of the First Month of Spring
Just as expected, they brought nothing but wood and 3 berries. Pretty much we got away with trading only some of our stone crafts and pig tail gear, very simple trade but at least we definetly won’t be running low on wood that’s for sure.
18th of the First Month of Spring
Another Sparing accident has left a champion with a nasty wound. He’s got a broken upper body and there’s sever damage to left lung and Liver. We need to seriously look into a better training program for out men so they don’t get injured so badly….
22nd of the First Month of Spring
At last the Bauxite gear have been made and installed into the other lever and so from this point onward we can make our swimming pool double as an obsidian farm! I've already tried out the lever to see how it worked and from what I can see, the magma cools off in the water producing a wall of obsidian which then can be mined and channeled out to make room for more magma to pour in. This should keep strong production moving smoothly for a long time...
15th of the Second Month of Spring
Looks like another Suika Metalcrafter has been stricken by Fey Mood syndrom…. She heads right away to the Metal Forge and takes is over an grabs two pieces of iron and from there starts working on her mysterious creation. I wonder what it’ll be?......
21st of the Second Month of Spring
Our fey mood metal crafted finally created the piece she was making, it was called Forestrabble, the Goal of Meetings, which was an iron flute with imagines on it related to the founding of beer axe. It’s value was worth 36000. Not as big as some of the others, but at least we have someone who can produce metal goods on the whim.
3rd of the Last Month of Spring
A large number of Migrants have come to our fortress. Most of them ranged from pump operators, lye makers, peasants for military fodder and so forth. As or right now our Suika population has reached 188 Suikas. We’re about to be dorwned with tons of Suika here so I guess we’re about to reach our cap for our fortress.. (which is 200). This place has some so far in over 10 years….
Final Spring Report
With the miners still working in the mine shafts, I can’t say much on the digging front. But it’s not like there’s anything to complain much about either.
Other than your typical Momizi and boikkuri thives that get chases away little has really happened here. And now our Suika population is at 191. We’ve gotten rather big here that’s for sure.
And thankfully after so many years we finally got the obsidian farm running. Something that needed to be done for a long time. And when the miners are done working deep underground, they should get to making the new rooms and mine the obsidian.
Ad finally here's what the fortress looks like at the moment:
Above Ground area: Farming and Tower
First Floor: Work Station and shopping area
Second Floor: Living Quarters and dining room (plus Suika Gourd tunnel)
Third Floor: Burial and Swimming Pool / Obsidian Farm
6th Floor: Mine Shaft
That's all for now! Will be back to report later on.
