Title: Fighting towers
Post by: Realmfighter on October 05, 2009, 11:42:18 pm: I have an idea for a community game. i make a valley, make two towers and using companion, make them fight. And, you control them.

I'll post more later.

Edit: Or possibly a dwarven double team towers versus the valley.

Post by: Realmfighter on October 05, 2009, 11:54:30 pm: dwarf inside.

Sadly, the towers fighting is not possible.

DAMN YOU INGAME PHYSICS

Post by: magikarcher on October 06, 2009, 12:08:19 am: I think what he meant by 'The towers themselves' was Dwarves from Tower A fights the Dwarves from Tower B. Maybe not, rereading it he does elude (allude?) to the ACTUAL towers fighting.

Post by: Realmfighter on October 06, 2009, 12:15:53 am: I have started digging on the valley, and i have completely leveled the surface.

Title: Re: Fighting towers
Post by: Realmfighter on October 06, 2009, 12:37:59 am: Basically, you guy tell me what to do, and if it involves attacking i'll let them out. It'll be me against all of you.
i just struck platinum. Can you guess what the roads will be lined with?
Title: Re: Fighting towers
Post by: magikarcher on October 06, 2009, 01:07:22 am: The roads will be lined with soap. I AM A POSTER AND I DEMAND IT!
Title: Re: Fighting towers
Post by: Realmfighter on October 06, 2009, 01:10:08 am: the soap is a lie
Title: Re: Fighting towers
Post by: magikarcher on October 06, 2009, 01:17:26 am: Can you post a save of it once the valley is cleared, before the towers?

Edit: Preferably your entire DF install, that way I don't have to worry about Mods/Versions and that stuff.

Post by: Realmfighter on October 06, 2009, 01:24:55 am: Will do, kind sir.

What i'm doing is i'm making ramps down from the outside, all the way down and make a 5 z level canyon at the bottom

Post by: magikarcher on October 06, 2009, 04:19:21 am: Awesome thanks! By the way, what is your avatar?
Title: Re: Fighting towers
Post by: Doomshifter on October 06, 2009, 06:42:26 am: Nice idea, I say! I vote you make it sort of like the halo map, Blood Gulch. You know, the one with the tiny box canyon with two bases at either side, nowhere to go but the other side. :3 Come on, it'll be fun.

And then you could make one out of microcline and one out of bauxite.

Post by: nil on October 08, 2009, 01:26:23 pm: I also wanna see if and how he got the dwarves to fight; was hoping to do something like that with (the end of) a succession game (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=37805.0) but could never figure out how to get the utilities right.
Title: Re: Fighting towers
Post by: sava2004 on October 08, 2009, 04:01:16 pm: I'm was liking the idea of the thread, but i'm sad that it died. i migth do something like this if i get enough people to support me, (and the proper utilities)
Title: Re: Fighting towers
Post by: Dante` on October 08, 2009, 04:30:55 pm: @ blood gultch... The easiest way to make them fight? Make them agressive toward each other then put soapmakers in one tower and potash makers in the other... But set the workshops in the OTHER base.. HELLO FIGHT!
Title: Re: Fighting towers
Post by: Realmfighter on October 08, 2009, 09:11:11 pm: This died because it was just to damn hard. even with 40 dwarfs, it still took me way to long, as in i finished about a quarter of the map in a night.
Title: Re: Fighting towers
Post by: sava2004 on October 08, 2009, 09:16:12 pm: wait, what utility were you going to use to get the dwarves to FIGTH!

Post by: Realmfighter on October 08, 2009, 09:47:41 pm: Dwarf companion, it lets you do lots of cool stuff.
