We don't have a limitless watersource save for the caverns, and that's proven.... hazardous. We still have the human torch down there afterall.

A cavern watersource can be turned into a reservoir if the fort needs water.  Channel out a tank (single or multi-z-level) underneath the lake and use a miner to dig a ramp upwards and run.  If you pre-dig the floodgate-protected start of several floored-over tunnels, you can get water flowing anywhere in the fortress somewhat safely.

Added you as Turn 26 as Oliolli already had a successful turn

This ought to be interesting...  I've got a xXCave Spider Silk SockXx that says this ends in flooding of some kind.

Sweet, I'm a baron!

I... don't understand why you are excited about that. Baron = death, usually.

Swordthunders' original Baron was Doren. She was the single-most badass siege-killing dwarf I've ever seen.  She went outside with a spear, axe AND sword to fertilize the front lawn with troll and goblin parts.  On her own.


If anything, Mego IV's got a lot to live up to

I'm going to have to use my testing fort to play around with minecarts, I think.  Gonna wait a day or two for last-minute bugfixes, etc, before properly digging in though.


And for those that suddenly thought of GlaDOS at the mention of me having a testing facility, don't worry.  I don't emotionally toy with the test subjects fortress inhabitants, I just abuse both them and physics to create nightmarish constructs of engineering.

Has anyone checked to see what kind of nasty falling damage catapults inflict now?

ThatAussieDwarf has mostly somehow managed to avoid all my plans to have him killed, including dodging all the Skelks when I sent him out on masonry duty.  That was actually the first time Catalyst died - when they both went out together to build the Hellcannon mouth.  Aussie was fine and went back inside while Catalyst was blinded by the sun.

You didn't think he'd have planned for your schemes to have him killed?  That dwarf's always one step ahead, you know...

You know, it's been two days since Hirotcon last posted anything here.  Not even to say he's started or general conversation.  Uh-oh...
