i have to agree, those parameters are way too tame to be a 'nightmare'. besides which, the wiki has an interesting challenge section.

ill definitely trade for metal items, and my first caravan arrived 
i thought making a fortress out of glass would be fun too.
id been working on ice, but for some reason i cant seem to load the fort
then there's obsidian and perhaps the toughest of all, metal. that could take a lot of sieges.
of course, all of those i would do without imposing a digging rule

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / undwarfly behaviour
« on: September 23, 2010, 05:04:23 am »
so i have been playing a fortress recently where i forbid digging from the start. my dwarves are building above ground houses made of wood. my militia is clad in turtle shell armor and my militia commander has a migrant miners steel pick as a weapon. that miner happens to be bedridden due to a giant tiger attack. i have a few dead dwarves from that conflict in wooden coffins chilling in my dormitory, since they had to be built indoors and i dont have many rooms yet. thoughts?

i used an aquifer for this. i pumped the water out, and it looked something like this:
oooooooxooooooo
ooooooomooooooo
======m=======
xoooooooooooooox
=hhhhhhhhhhhhhh=
===============
where o is clear floor, x is channeled into the aquifer 1 layer below, m is screw pump, = is wall and h is clear floor below a previous channel from the surface, now refloored. yes i know i suck at ascii art.

cages are a good way to store your cows. EXCEPT for breeding. for this, i recommend using 1x1 pits with a door on the lower level. this way no pathing will occur.

DF Gameplay Questions / cave-ins 2010
« on: September 22, 2010, 04:59:00 am »
im thinking of embarking on a freezing map mostly covered by ocean, and here's my question: if i create ice by freezing water, as opposed to construction, then cave it in over water, will it plummet to the bottom of the ocean, where i can then stack more on top thereby eventually creating a giant icebox that i can drain? or will it collide with the surface layer of ice over the ocean and refuse to fall any further?

the wiki actually has some great designs. you could do other things too, like create a millcity and export tons of wheat and such
