In Progress Let's bring monocles and steam to the savage wilds in Clockwork Empires and get eaten by fishpeople.

I honestly think I got lucky so far, as usually they rape my crops more causing famine. It is only this biome that has higher chances of raiding though, in the colorado one attacks are more spaced out.

MOAR?
Hellraiser
Arcane
Day 26
Hunger strikes the colony. Our food stockpiles are dangerously low, the proles are close to rioting.
BODY COUNT: 16
Fishpeople continue to harass the settlement. However the militia deals with these fouls fishy foes swiftly.
Famine reaps yet another soul.
BODY COUNT: 17
Even the middle class of overseers is not except from the tragic reality of the shortage of food. I make efforts to organize more foraging parties, but I fear this may be too little too late.
BODY COUNT: 18
Well, at least all these dead bodies might make for a source of delicious meat. Wait, I said nothing, the dark whispers said it, I just repeated. Ia Ia, how lovely that sounds...
BODY COUNT: 19
Foraging of the Cog-awful fungus continues, however it is too late to save some from the reaper that is famine.
BODY COUNT: 20
Cog deliver us from hunger!
BODY COUNT: 21
At this point half of the settlers died either to famine or fishpeople raids. We must remain strong in these trying times, and pray that we will be eaten first. No, that doesn't sound right, stop saying that nonsense you shadowy figure!
BODY COUNT: 22
With even more deaths due to famine a reorganization of the militia and work crews follows. With no NCO to follow, the soldiers join irregular militias.
BODY COUNT: 23
I order more crops to be planted, yet these fools refuse to stop dying. Stop getting lethally hungry and grow fat, so that the Dark One has more flesh to savour as he devours the Human Race.
BODY COUNT: 24
Day 27
Quaggaroth curse these fools, the are unworthy of his elder wisdom, for they fail to survive and meet their fate when he rises from the ocean depths.
BODY COUNT: 25
What are these overseers if not fragile petals of a dying flower, swept away by the wind of death. Even they are nothing compared to the power and knowledge of the Great Squid that dwells in the deep.
BODY COUNT: 26
Ia Ia! The will of the Elder One will be done, the weak perish as was foretold, the strong will remain to be eaten first when he rises from beneath the waves.
BODY COUNT: 27
Build, work, gather. Prove your strength, let the unworthy perish, let them be forsaken by not becoming one in the belly of Quaggaroth. Quaggaroth fhtang!
BODY COUNT: 29
The dying continues, just as the shadows have told me it would. Oh, if only the fools in the Ministry could see this. If only they could know what the shadows taught me, the wisdom of eons that they brought me. An insight into existance that man cannot grasp.
BODY COUNT: 30
Ah, a potential servant of our Squid Lord arrives, an overseer. Soon he will see the greatness that is the Elder One. If he doesn't die like Gilbert Ores, a lack-wit fool, too weak to receive the blessings of the Lord from the Deep.
BODY COUNT: 31
I order the survivors to gather more fungus, fungus makes the Elder One happy. Ia! Ia! Quaggaroth fhtang!
BODY COUNT: 32
Luther, another weakling! If famine didn't get him I'd sacrifice his unworthy flesh to appease the Wise Squid myself.
BODY COUNT: 33
And at this point a great calamity struck. The very fabric of reality tore itself apart, non-euclidian geometry replaced what Man was familiar with. Time twisted, warped, bent, the past became the future and the present the past. Yesterday was next winter and the Sun rose in the North.
That is to say I tried to fix an issue with crashed on saving the game (at the 10th file the game encounters a runtime error). I decided to fix it by deleting old save games and renaming the newest one to file 001. It nearly worked, I left two latest save game files undeleted, both of them were broken, corrupted zip files produced during the last two crashes, the working files have been deleted.
Well, this colony probably would have died. Maybe. I was looking forward to trying to get it back on track. Main problem was hunger spiralling out of control, combined with fish people raids on crops and colonists.
Anyway a new experimental build is out, it fixes some silly soldier behavior msotly (lol, lets drop weapons and grab shovels while prioritizing gabion construction over shooting fishpeople which are murdering our colonists).
Off to New Antipodia to show off the other biome!

That was beautiful and amusing to watch
It's bit sad that your save died and we didn't get to see the end.
Anyway I cheer your attempt to make monocle colony mrk 2, despite popamole gods trying to bring you down.

Bloody entertaining old chap 
Do keep us updated on any further endeavors of the Colonial Ministry
Also, I believe it will be a jolly good idea to place enough messages here in order to reach the prestigious page 4.

You lot of bloody wankers! Am I the only one who cares about avoiding an image overload?
Well. Sort of. Here's a bump anyway.
Well, it helped, so you shall be eaten first.
Btw, I like how the game is intentionally designed to resemble the events at Virgintarded during the reign of Hellraiserin Ralebal

There's only one update on this page. I wouldn't worry about image overload just yet.
Meh. Squids. Who likes them, really?
The Codex?
For Queen and Country
And... the final one!
