I'd try getting Gibbed Tweak

It has reveal in it.

I'm running Vista and it works for me. 40D11 as well.

Personally I wouldn't make it an MMO. I would make it something more like... a lan or group of friends only game. That way it can be paused it can be saved for later play and you could have a fortress.

I know fortresses utilize the pause a lot, but you don't HAVE to have it.

I think it's possible, but it'd be an entire rewrite of the game.

That ability to have the fortresses is the biggest thing that makes DF different.

Yeah, the droid factory would be near impossible, but the gungan city would be fairly... easy to replicate.

It was either under a giant ocean area (I keep getting shallow oceans almost like Florida coast) or on that spire to be  made to look some what like a tree.

My current fort is using a lot of circles for everything and it looks cool, putting them into spheres is a tad bit harder seeing as I can't figure out whether or not my current set up is water sealed or not.

I was building a giant pyramid, but it was like a Mayan pyramid (a lot more flat... only 15 z levels.) but I would've preferred a many z-level pyramid.

I've been thinking about using mass water, doesn't seem to affect the FPS too badly. Only draining the ocean.

Also just FYI I'm running orc mod and the mod with like silver xelics and like 8 other races.

Always embark with a few war dogs, or bring along some adult dogs and put a Kennel next to Craftsdwarf's Workshop on the priorities list. A few good war dogs can run off all the Kobold Thieves and Goblin Snatchers who care to come through. The only thing a war dog is really vulnerable to (short of a really skilled and armed warrior) is bow-gobs, and they're 100% trap vulnerable. Build a u-bend opening tunnel lined with cage and weapon traps with dogs at the end, all your thief and snatcher problems will be over, instantly!

That U bend really screws up bowgobs.

I'm Shaostoul and I approve of this method 100 percent.

You know what solves this problem?

Entrance guards. Stationed at every possible entrance. Something gets close to them, it's revealed. For added difficulty, make them patrol.

I don't use traps.

Magma falls though, those are fun.

So more or less there'd be multiple exit options.

(And for the sake of saying it because it's the only method I know. A save game that doesn't make you exit the game.)

So a make fortress into mountainhomes. (Becomes a viable trade partner after certain parameters are met.)

Succumb to siege. (Next possible siege would take the place cause you up and left.)

And maybe a method for just leaving the fortress, but succumbing to siege would be the same more or less.

It is saddening to see such a perfect fort just crumble to its end because you tire of it and it's not put to use.

Appear and disappear without any real reason.

Has anyone dug out an underground river completely? Does the water just spawn some where or is there a natural wall tile making it?
