« on: July 03, 2009, 04:05:30 pm »I have an idea; it's just a little bit WIP on how I'll tell it or implement it into construction.
Why not try and figure out what I'm up to?
You figured out that walls and floors constructed out of wood wont burn when in contact with magma? (its true >.>)

« on: July 03, 2009, 03:45:40 pm »I like how a typical, pre-economy, fortress is essentially the perfect communist society and now we're all going to use burrows to segregate everyone. Capitalism, dwarven style.
In Dwarfussia, fort builds you.

Well then I guess spacing them farther apart it is.
and to make the magma have an infinite loop so it has somewhere to go... or just let it flood the world.

« on: July 03, 2009, 11:13:48 am »Fluids drift as they fall, and water + magma = obsidian, even in midair. I suggest leaving more room between your alternating falls unless you like the idea of obsidian boogers forming on the sides of your massive gate.
as in radom blocks of obsidian forming and falling? sounds awsome!
I can see it now
Gobo 1: We will lay siege to this dwarven settlement!
Gobo 2: Aye, wait... whats that?
Gobo 1 has been crushed by a collapsing section of cavern

Job Isn't Cancelled: RL Job Obstructed Project Path
So, in order to make up for lost time, I'm going to try and do another double-update, but on the actual project site this time.
BTW, I already finished my Lego blueprint, so... yeah, not much else left to do really.
Until then, goodnight and good morning.
PS- Here's an idea of a pinup I developed for the Bloodfist:Spoiler: NSFW (click to show/hide)
Isn't she sexy? And how hot is that pose, and how well it works for the ship? Definitely worthy of being added.
I was about to say hot damn... but the beard threw me off XD
How bout that being the figurehead instead?

Hmmm good point, maybe make a tiered fall system for generating mist =|

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Megaproject: Gate of Dusk
« on: July 02, 2009, 04:49:05 pm »
The gate of dusk is a massive structure of dwarven engineering, it spans 15 z-levels, and all the way across a 6x6 embark. 22 Tiles thick it can house an entire fort.
It is composed mostly of Obisidian and Nightstone (Civ Forge) with a 30 tile wide entrance in the center Leading to the fortress proper. Built in an area with aquifer and a magma pipe it will use both to its full advantage for both construction and final aesthetics.
The entrance to the fortress proper is lined with draw bridges suspended above either a magma moat or a water moat (I have yet to decide but may go with water for claiming of items and ease since the aquifer is right there.)
Also along the gate halfway between the main entrance and edge on both sides will be the merchant passages, these are lightly guarded and have no actual entrance to the fort or facility in the gate. Just a way to the front.
After the gate is finished the whole front will have alternating water and magma falls with widths of 5 separated by 1 tile. The only exception is above the entrance it will be a 30 tile wide waterfall that dwarves and caravans must pass through to get to the fortress proper. (Happy thoughts
)
I will post updates as I work on it, which construction will start later tonight.

sounds interesting, although knowing my dwarves I would need to make the halls wider.
Do the halls and rooms contain walls? or just floors?

So basically the fort would be suspended above a dwarf made chasm?
And your buildings are carved out the mountain before it is made into a floating labyrinth?
