DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Site in search of a mega-project
« on: December 31, 2012, 11:47:11 pm »
I spent some time (with a little world gen tweaking) looking for a site for a good mega-project. I was looking for a fairly flat map with shallow magma. I now have a fresh embark ready to go. It's a 4x4 red sand desert with scattered grass, completely flat except for a hill in the southwest corner. A stream runs horizontally right through the center of the map. Magma is about 30 levels below the surface, so easily brought up for FUN. Metals are a little sparse though, so they should be used in the project sparingly.
Now that I have the site I was looking for, I'm suffering a dearth of inspiration. What should I do? The logical answer has something to do with glass, but what specifically? A glass castle with a magma moat? A glass tower with a stream running down from the top through each level and gardens everywhere (kind of a Hanging Gardens of Babylon in glass)? A hollow block with water or magma trapped between two sheets of glass? Something else???
Ok... maybe I have plenty of inspiration. I'M PARALYZED WITH INDECISION!! Help me pick a project! Or suggest your own!
Also, the fortress is named Towercrush if that helps at all.
