DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Amazing fortress idea + mega project.
« on: July 30, 2009, 12:41:08 am »
Imagine you go to a place with a giant canyon., thats about all it is. you could make one too.

THen you build in the sides of it. make it soo steep theres no way back up.
Make it so deep, no thermonuclear cat splosion could get you.

You floor off the top, lock your self in. There is no way out. There is no way in. There is nothing left for you above the ground, only below. Just...dig deeper, and farther.

Then i just came up with another idea.

a opposite of a pyramid, a pyramid that points...DOWN. you dig it out so that you go DOWN, not up.
So you enter a trap door, go through mazes after mazes, traps, and such, all the way to the tomb of the great ones, filled with all the artifacts of years past, let the goblins try. for you have tamed dragons, and Giant cave spiders, Elephants and more. They are there to guard, for no one will enter. No one will leave. The ultimate dwarven pyramid.

Why is everyone always so worried about FPS, its NEVER a problem for me.

Also whats it mean Pure vanilla? is it made of ice cream?

>Act like a pancake loving pirate and slap Jujufrobo. After doing that, explain to him you have some intestinal discomfort and that made you act crazily.

Thank you.

pfft, "experienced users only" PFFT i say!

1971
I found that map I mentioned, by the way. 5x5, magma pipe, HFS, sand, flux, all four rock types, and the very tip of a chasm. Could potentially be extended to 5x6 for more chasm, or shrunk to 5x4 or 5x3 for better performance. A quick preliminary geologic survey of the mountain face and chasm revealed tetrahedrite, native gold and silver, hematite, platinum, aluminum, and kimberlite.

The tallest bits of the mountain are 97 levels above the valley floor.

The only problem I can see with the map (aside from potential FPS issues) is that the only source of water on the map is rainwater from the murky pools, but a rainwater collector always makes for a nice project.

We'll use it.

Agh sorry. Im gonna have to postpone to last in line. Something personal has come up.  :-[

Aww ok, who wants to be first?

So...

Is this a community fortress, or a bloodline fortress, or a community fortress with the host changing bloodline style?

I'm confuzzled.

Well that gives me another idea.
We do a bloodline, and we could give out the saves to everyone, (thus if it ever goes down in history like boatmurdered, people have the save) anyone can host the community and have thier own tales of what happened when Conot went out to grab a sock on a orc infested field then got a martial trance.

That's a point; which mods arew we using?

I'd go for the 'real' stone temp one, cat mouth, orcs (have them come in 3rd/4th year, maybe without trap avoid?), and I can't really think of much else.

You pick em, i've never used any mods.

By keep it for, you mean your turn?
From Spring to spring.

Update when possible, AKA major events.

Now we should pick a place...

Dwarf Heaven.
39z Level Waterfall.
Random Area.
Other.

What do you guys want?

1974
hey, hippoman

What do you mean?

Nahkh the Illustrious!
Mason/Architect/Artiste

I'll take a turn when you have the slots.

Added, you're fourth.

i'll take 6th due to vista basic i don't have the snipping tool so i won't be able to do any decent pics also it will be fun to "deface" nahkhs artwork  ;D like it was in SP1 :) (i won't really if you want it left alone)

p.s i would start but i umm arn't right good with pics. also how long is a turn?

Ok, you'er sixth, and a turn is a year. from Spring to spring.

1975
Nah i hate starting.
Ok your up first, start whenever.

1976

1977
Actually i thought this had already been done, but once i first found Bay12, i thought of this.

Also anyone who wants to sign up, please use this template. It'll make it soooo much easier.

[NAME], [CUSTOM Profession name] [Profession]/[Profession]

wow.

Nonononono! Not more than one cat, for fps's sake! Other than that, I generally discard the anvil when embarking, 'cause it gives far more points for spending. I'm pretty crappy at the game, though, so....  ;)

Also, for when you choose which dwarf is who, I'd like something like this (In descending order of importance :P):
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Sorry if that's too specific, just thought it'd be easier to find a dwarf matching at least some of them if I listed a lot of traits. And gender is, if possible, irrelevant.  :D

Hmmm...mind if i make you Urist McIroel, "Overcomplicator", Noble?

Also if someone wants to sign up to run the fortress, you can so now.

Well someone come up with a list of starting items.
