DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Flat map
« on: June 25, 2009, 12:36:29 am »
I'm looking to try out an idea for a megaproject I had. To do it right requires a map with either magma or lots of wood, and also needs to be FLAT. I mean very flat. I can "flatten" it myself, but some of the more stringent requirements of the megaproject and the sheer time-consuming nature of such a task make it difficult. So I need a very flat map. One whose ground surface doesn't vary too much (over 2-3 z levels is best) and with either lots of wood or magma. Surface river alright, underground perfect. Gobbos and orcs if possible good for the associated Fun. I've tried random genning, but I can't really think of a way to find such a spot.

DF Gameplay Questions / A few questions
« on: May 22, 2009, 03:44:45 pm »
I've never tested these before, so I'll ask here.
1. I've heard tell of aqueduct structures? How do I go about building one? Or is there an easier way to get magma over a brook?

2. Can archers shoot over walls? I know they can shoot through fortifications, but I'd rather not have to suffer unwanted fun if they can shoot over walls, too.

My plan, obviously, is to have an outdoor fun zone, totally safe, with water/magma provided via aqueduct.

DF Gameplay Questions / Atom smashers, moats, water chambers, other non-trap based defences

I've built about 5 forts now...most of them having weathered several sieges, held off mostly by lots and lots of traps and my military dorfs. Eventually i get worn down by injuries, and die off. So...how do I built these advanced defences? I've never used pumps or bridges much, tbh.
