DF Gameplay Questions / Waterfall a bad idea?
« on: June 09, 2009, 02:21:26 am »
So having recently become addicted to DF thanks to finding a helpful tutorial that actually allowed me to understand how to play, I've been reading the wiki, this site, and a few others. During which I've seen waterfalls mentioned as something dwarfs like. When I embarked at this site, I realized that it was perfect for creating a large cascade. There was a natural indentation in the cliff wall near the brook (don't ask me why the brook is on top of the mesa instead of down on the valley floor) that seemed perfect for the path of a waterfall to impress the dwarfs and all the visiting traders with. I figure set up the fortress right behind the main shaft, terrace the cliff face and stick the trade depot on a artificial arch right in front of the cascade. Nice tourist attraction to draw the rubes.
Of course, I was expecting the water to dry out before it spread this far. Now I'm wondering if I'll be drowning my fort? I'm certainly already worried that I'll no longer be able to chop trees or fish within a year or so.
So, my question is simple. How screwed am I?
