Hello Purvis:

Well, the important ones (military, etc.)
Has farming been fixed yet?

This pretty much.
I may jump in later, as interests peak. In the meantime, I wish to be a Doctor, Mechanic, and Mayor
Totaku:
Ha ha, old chap! oh you! (Amusing they filter L O L into Ha ha, old chap, what amusment)
Anyways looking at what I've seen so far, we already got enough people in the list to set up an named expidition crew. I'm still taking sign-ins, so please take a moment to come to the thread ask to either partake or spectate. The more people, the more fun this'll be!
As of right now I'm currently looking through the world picking good sites to use for our new Suika Fortress. It's probably going to take some time since it'll be a bit before I put all the locations at once.
Like in the last game, we'll have about 6 locations to pick from. Each with their own unique features. I will however spice things up a bit because like I said, things aren't as easy as before....
But as for now I shall present to you this world map!
This world here that Yukari is preparing to challenge Suika with is known as Roth Mamgoz, The Domain of Dragons.
From a short inspection of this world I learned that while this area is somewhat populated one things that seems to be occuring in this place that makes this region dangerous is the amount of danger that lurks in this world! While on the most part this land is mainly got a moderate climate, the northern regeion is where everything dangerous may possibly be. As it turns out, traders up in the north don't even bother to leave their cities to trade in certain regions. This alone will make the adventure quite dangerous but at the same time... FUN! There are also plenty of volcanos, a mountain range, lakes, and so forth, and it seems the big terrible beast rule the region with an iron fist.
Down in the colder south exist a evil mountain region which could be the home of biokkuri factories as well as many dangerous dead things.
Also around the mid point traveling northward there are canyons that can be found.... plenty of them. Where ever we may go I'll be sure that I'll select the regions that should supply us with the most fun.
I will try and get 6 ready by tomorrow morning. But to make things easier, perhaps you all can give a suggestion of a area we may want to make into our fort.
I've also included attachments of some of the history, populations and world parameters for this world if your curious.
As for now suggestions and ideas are welcome.
And as always you are all still welcome to sign up.
Stuffman:
The farming thing isn't a big deal to me. If Totaku doesn't set it up on his turn I don't mind doing the irrigation, in fact I think it looks kind of fun.
As for our embark point: areas with steep elevations are my preference, since then you get quite a few z-levels of sedimentary stone to mine up into, getting lots of gems, coal, and ores for iron and steel.
You can get magma on any map now, but having it exposed will still speed things up. I could go either way.
Also holy crap 2010 runs at like half the speed of 40d, geez. Need to try some of that optimization stuff.
Remember people: one cat max.

Mmmm, well stuffman the good part about 2010 is that most regeions will have most of those kind of items much easier to access. So any place will serve to be a good spot as long as good planning is involved...
As for your problem with your with frame speed, have you changed the partial print to YES? That usually kicks the speed up drasticlly.
As for 1 cat, well that's debatable. Chenkkuris will still be like they always are. But sometime if your quick enough to cage them then you got a food supply waiting for you. ^^
It seems this region I created is also rather.....well... wet. And filed with alot of Auqifers. ^^;; So we'll have to do some planning to make it through them.
But for now here's a list of some locations I picked up:
Location #1: The fresh murky plains of Gensokyo.
While within an unknown location within Gensokyo. It appears that this region is quite hot. yet it's triving with activity. I'm certain it's filled with recourses and it's got a nice water fall to boot!
Considering the steepness of the area, there is a good chance we can work our away around the aquifer.
Difficulty level: Normal
Location #2 The fresh murky plains of Gensokyo #2
This spot is rather simlar to location one, but it seems to have a steeper water fall. Course life is thriving fine here too...
Difficulty: Normal
Location #3 The foot hills along the way to the youkai mountain
Despite being a calm region, this place is thriving with alot of creatures especially in the river, it might be a good spot to fish, but let's be careful, as it turns the heat is scorching hot here. Our only water source is the rivers themselves as water is none exsistant in the rivers.
This place is also steep and has some waterfalls so we might be able to work around the aquifer.
Diffculty: Normal to possibly hard?
Location #4 The cursed mountains leading to the frozen south.
Another unknown region in Gensokyo. Which has a large mountain to the north, the mountain itself is pretty much snowing so it's definetly cold here! Some creatures roam around here too. But do I smell the undead? Who knows?
There may also be a chance some vicious creatures can come to this area. Otherwise the location seems to be a nice basic set up.... a snow-covered mountain, a flowing river, lots of trees and thankfully the mountain doesn't have an aquifer within it meaning plenty of oppotunity to get stones.
Let's just becareful with whatever is out there, it could be hungry....
Difficulty: Normal to maybe hard?
Location #5 The small mountain in the middle of the forest.
It appears there's a small volcano here and we got a nice mountain to dig into. Heck, the way it is build looks like it could serve as fortress material if you ask me (assuming we put it at 5 x 5)! Course the main problem here will be water as our only known water source as of this point are lakes. And depending on how much it rains here.... these could dry up. But since the climate is temperate, chance are it may not dry up. But not much is known. Just that it seems nice and it's seems quite here...
Difficulty Normal, possibly hard.
Location #6 The cold region of Gensokyo
Letty must work here full time, there's snow here and the stream and lakes are frozen... this will make getting food started hard, we may have to dig deep early in hopes of getting water unless the temperature warms up.
Also it seems some wild life thrives here. But also I see a volcano exsist as well.
Diffuclty: Hard to Luncatic
Location #7 The dry lands torward to nameless hill
Sand....lots of it and it feels rather warm. Vegitation seems to be somewhat small here too as well as trees. Yet this region has a nice waterfall location. And the land is strangly calm.
It also appears we may have to deal with a steep aquifer....How will we fair out in a dry location like this?
Diffuclty: Hard to possibly Lunatic
Alright, what I need you guys to do is decide on a location, so please come in and vote on a place that will serve as our fortress.
Also at the same time, we need to determine the size of our fortress area...
By default it is 4 x 4 due to all the changes, I will keep it at this size, but if we want to go for something bigger, please let me know, like 5 x 5 or 6 x 6. I will consider it, but please take into consideration that the size will affect how much FPS play out in the long run possibly so choose wisely....

It's not a proper fortress without mountains. Volcano's good too. We'll have to hope we hit an underground lake or river or something.
