And yes, Ravendas, you got it. I never thought men would not see the implication straight off.</STRONG>


That's because men don't use words like "seat" when thinking about rear-ends  :)

Also, no need for name-calling.
As the ol' bash.org quote goes:
<starry_eyed_surprise> why do girls have to have a pic to be proven female??
<Storm_Queen> Because this is the internet.
<Storm_Queen> Unless proven otherwise, you are a 50yr old man with a bucket of KFC in one hand and your penis in the other.

The slightly spiraled aesthetics and statue plazas are important bonus side effects.</STRONG>

Hehe, how about this then:

code:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
                
XDXSXDXSXDXSXDXS
C cXC cXC cXC cX
XBXBXBXBXBXBXBXB
cXC cXC cXC cXC 
XSXDXSXDXSXDXSXD
                
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
X = unmined rock
D = door
C = cabinet
c = coffer
S = statue
  = mined rock

(Just as a random suggestion)

Not that space efficient, only ~22% of the tiles are used for the actual housing.
With a complex like this:
code:

xxxxxxxxxxx x
x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x
x           x
x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

~30% of the tiles are used for the actual housing. And it could easily be made more efficient, just tiling it should improve to ~40%

The only problem with it is you have to customize each one so that it only provides prepared meals. Otherwise you get seeds and bones that clutter up the space and generate long distance hauling jobs.</STRONG>

What's the point though? It just makes some random hauler dwarf do the food-moving for them, and there really isn't a point in making nobles "waste" less time since they don't actually do anything in the first place.

Unless I'm feeling creative, my bedrooms will look something like this:
code:

X XXXXXXXX X
X D  BXXXX X
X XXXXB  D X
X D  BXXXX X
X XXXXB  D X
X D  BXXXX X
X XXXXB  D X
X D  BXXXX X
X XXXXXXXX X
X          X
XXXXXXXXXXXX

Or possibly like this:
code:

XXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXX
XXXXX D  BXXXX D  BX
XB  D XXXXB  D XXXXX
XXXXX D  BXXXX D  BX
XB  D XXXXB  D XXXXX
XXXXX D  BXXXX D  BX
XB  D XXXXB  D XXXXX
XXXXX D  BXXXX D  BX
XB  D XXXXXXXX XXXXX
XXXXX          XXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX

I never ran into that problem, but I thought building a one-tile-bridge solved the problem.

You don't get to brag until you make a functioning 16x16 tileset!

No trade with humans and elves means no sieges from humans and elves. Two less ways for your fort to end  :(

Some changes require a new world, some don't. I'm not sure which changes are which, which is why I recommended the wiki.

However the original idea is probably not very feasible either way.


Also, bear in mind that while you can change the population cap midgame and it should work, I'm pretty sure that it just makes it so after your population is over the limit, no immigrations will arrive. You could still get an immigration of 20 that will carry you way over the limit.

Couples never form, so you need to start with a married couple if you want children. EDIT: to make sure I'm not confusing you here, couples can arrive married as immigrants, just that in your case you'd have to start with them married.
I'm pretty sure the starting seven won't start in a relationship (not sure though), however sometimes the metalsmith will arrive with a peasent spouse.

Editing the files is simple, but I'm pretty sure it would require generating a new world to take effect. (Try the wiki for more info)
