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.

Inod: The outpost liaison has arrived!  We all know what that means: goblins!  Everyone stay in the safety of the fortress!  Now raise the drawbridge so the gobbos have to come through the trap hall!  They won't kill any of our dwarves this month!

Nil: Uh, sir?  The merchant wagons are trying to come in through the front gate because they can't fit through the trap corridor.  Trouble is, the bridge is up, so they're just piled up underneath it.

Inod: Oh, that's just a minor oversight.  Go ahead and lower the bridge just long enough for the wagons to come through, then raise it again.

...

**SMASH!!**

Nil: Uh, sir?  You've just atom smashed 2 or 3 wagons from the mountain homes.

So... any possible repercussions from this little accident?
