give me a PM when youve uploaded it man.

when you upload. just upload the entire file.

other than: sounds good so far man.

apart from the millatery wich will have seen so much bloodshed theyll be immune to it and gain greater skill just butchering everyone in the name of dwarven justice.

a map like this ide embark with max z levels into the sky -about 2000 or somehting i belive- and just build a tower/city in the sky wile minning out and digging down the entire map untill i have the entire magma sea bare to the surface. from their, i would procede to build a megacity/farm/production centre and see about isolating my dwarfs into different parts of the fortress. -one mega fortress that can be and is split into multi mini fortresses each self dependant and with a functional millatery- i would also collonise hell and procede to demolish as much of the SMR as possible not to mention to build downwards into the infinate pits of hell for as much room for farms and stock piles as possible.

i would gear the fortress to capture and breed every type of mega beast that came along, and to make a forgotten beast zoo. The entire countryside that isent a gapeing pit to the centre of the earth riddled with constuctions and farms would be swarming with tame GCS. so i dont need a silk farm, just the few hundred GCS would make enought silk when ever a seige decided to show up as just 70 odd figures. The millatery would compete in an arena in marathons of endurance against nacked or fully armoured foes from the prison of invaders. The best would end up having as many kills to their name as i could possibly manage to make happen untill i maxed out his skill levels past legendary and made him the next coming of Armok.

All access to any caverns allowed to remain would be accessed through use of showers and mist generators, same for hell. any deamons that i manage to cage with GCS + cage trap combo would be unleashed in the arena during boredom periods upon whordes of armed and armoued goblins and trolls. If the army arc was included, i would use the fortress's millatery to wipe out every single other species than dwarfs down to easly controllable populations that i just keep around for when ever i need to train my dwarfs in butchery skills. ie: an old millatery dwarf dies and his son needs to take his place.

generaly:

the only reason why the "west" is more advanced than the "east" is because we seperated religion from scientific development enought to allow progression.

If the ottomans had taken over europe, their would have been no need for a renassance, but they didnt, we had one, and the collapse of the ottoman empire shoved everyone into the religious state kind of government, wich is a stupidity of saying: a bloke several thousands of years before realy realy knew what we need right now and so we should consider this humans written interpritation of the words of a "god" -read deasert mushrooms that are notoriously hallucinagenic- as law in a time were their just not realy relevant anymore.

The only good part of religion is its clear definition of moral princables in general, its bad part is a fair bit of the rest -ie must have been god who made all this so perfect world, you know, because its so good that we have to hide and abuse our women and shoot each other over a sentance over a thousand or two years old, pluss other stupiditys and self contradictions riddling almost every religion-, and its stubbern inflexability to provide for a situation like abortion, wich, even if considerd murder to some, is still another persons life and none of your damn buisness to comment on. would you burst into someones bedroom and inform them on how to preform sex? how to breath? how about you just live their life for them and fuck everything up just so you can feel moraly smug. The world is not perfect, and sometimes its a choice between two evils, not right and wrong.

So long as religion holds sway over the easts governmental processes then they will never advance as far as the west, because the west will just keep going on.


The only major religion i have respect for is buddism: http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/snapshot01.htm

considering they hand the judgement of morality to the individual. and before theirs any snide comments on how people will end up bad without a religion defineing good from wrong, consider that morals are influenced by upbringing by parents, the law wich is decided on by a democratic government in the west anyways, and that if you do try to sod everyone over, theyll sod you over back, its actualy so much easyer to get through life by being good than it is to be bad, when it comes to just getting on with people. sure, you may nick someones wallet or items, but every bad act a human commits even tho small, is still just one act in a chain that feeds into itself. If i help my neighbour, he will help me, if i nick his stuff hell knock my lights out. simple.

 Take britain for example: since henry the 8th stuck 2 rods up at the pope and his, they went on to forge an empire and influence the globe over. not that the british are moraly superior, you just ahve to look at the lybian conflic and the afgan conflic to see the goverment their are just oil hungry basterds looking out for BP -wich has refinerys in lybia and a big stake, it would be benefitial for this conflict to end quickly, not that im saying the slaughter of protesters is right, its just being used as a cover reason-

Without the putting aside of religion, the act of slavery would have probably still been going on now. Since it was scientific experimentation that proved beyond doubt that whites and blacks are equal.

Dont even get me onto scientology....

Make a pen somewere safe, put a nest box in. and make sure the place can be sealed off with a bridge or such and is filled with cage traps. the dragon will lay eggs. if the opposite sex dragon enters the map, then the eggs will become fertalised -any new ones anyway- when they hatch theyll move onto the cage traps around the nest box, you now have baby dragons to tame ^^ and probably your own breeding pair.

from their you just isolate all female dragons into these hatcherys -1 to each, unless you make realy big ones- and keep 1 male isolated somewere safe, any excess males or females after the 2nd or 3rd hatchery become your new dragon pets, and when mounts are introduced, the firebreathing freinds of yours become the flying dwarven cavalry ^^

what screenshot programn do you use?

also: should probably put a dwarfing list up on the first post via edits.

if you go somewere totaly hostile then thats fine, just make sure you get farms up and running so we can seal outselfs in.
