About the road
« on: August 17, 2006, 10:45:00 am »

In fortress mode, dwarves are able to smash up roads like any other building. You can stop them from doing too much damage by building using one lot of stone at a time, so they don't wreck a huge section, but it still seems kind of weird a dwarf can do this.

There is a req around somewhere to handle strange building damage situations.  I think there are a few other unusual examples.

Oh, by the way, I noticed that you can actually build a road out of silver bars... would there be interesting implications of having a road of pure silver or gold go from the wilderness to your cave? Will the caravans even notice?

Probably at the very least you'll become a legend.

Entire dwarven nation will be eradicated by Spanish conquistadors.

Actually, the architecture value would probably blast your immigration up to the cap, once the caravan reports back.
