You people and your plans. Haven't you learned yet?

Look who's talking mister 'art'.

Yes, but it's small and on the corner of the map. And there are probably plenty of crisscrossing exploration tunnels between it and the demon pits. It's also infected with all different kinds of [insert animal here]men and abnormally large underground creatures. Unless Marko has dealt with them...

That's why you route magma through it first!
Also, I'm available on the 11th, if that space is still empty.

We only have a finite pool of magma, it does not come back when used. I suppose you could do it once, but wouldn't they just eventually respawn?

Demonic Spoon: I meant that the only plans worth crap are the ones that you can make happen. And in this fortress, that's not bloody likely.
(And if it is, it's mercilessly vandalized on the next turn)

turn's up... just got a project done right in the nick of time just to find out it doesn't quite work 100% (ah well) most of it works anyway...

file:

map:
http://www.mkv25.net/dfma/map-5964--sparkgear2

my project:
http://www.mkv25.net/dfma/movie-1388-humapoweredspiketrap

A Human powered automatic spike trap! Sadly I ran out of time before I could polish it up, two of the spikes got interrupted by raiders and never got finished :( Also could be beefed up more if you put in some more spikes so they go off when the others retract... would be awesome... and incredibly deadly...

Oh yeah, the king arrived just as my time was winding down so I haven't done anything for him yet. You could either a: put together a nice royal suite for him, or b: seal him up in a room with a poor schmoe armed with a pick axe, and feed him to the spirit of fire!

Wow. Just. Wow.

Now that is an awesome trap right there.

Kudos.

if Yaddy is MIA can I tweak it a little bit to fix the two spikes that didn't get linked before my time ran out?

We only have a finite pool of magma, it does not come back when used.

If only we could get it to rain magma, then it'd fill back up like murky pools do.

can be replaced with any captured enemy, just move their cage into there (there's two locked doors flanking the trap linked ones) and release them inside. You might to unlock then lock a door to coax them into starting the loop, but once they've started, they'll start wandering back and forth from door to door. The pressure plate on the right is currently linked to all the spike traps (minus two which I didn't discover until my turn is over) If somebody wants to double the lethality and make the entrance completely impassable, just add spikes in the open spaces, and link the left pressure plate to them. After you do that though... I wouldn't let the dwarves go outside anymore... (at the moment I marked all the spike traps as restricted, so dwarves zig zag through the trap unharmed, but enemies... and non dwarf allies... go right trough it without a care)

Could you sign me up again for the 12th? Also, the eyes of my golden dragon head are supposed to be 2x2x2 cubes of aluminum with two smooth obsidian pupils. However, I ran out of time just as I was plopping down the last 2 aluminum walls, and apparently the work orders didn't get through. Could the next person fix that up for me?

Also, those ramps behind the eyes are scaffolding, and are only there to allow the dwarves to the 2nd level of the eyes. could you remove those too?
