[Urist Imiknorris]

So elves on fire.

[HmH]

Ghost elves on fire.

[TherosPherae]

So, just elves, except worse.

Next thing you know, you'll be getting a demon ambassador saying "We are very partial to the slade beneath your fort...."

[NewSheoth]

When I saw your staircase into hell and the merchant notification on the bottom of the screenshot I thought briefly that you had managed to get merchants to path into the map through hell.

Hellish merchants. Just imagine what they'd be bringing.

Alcohol-free drinks. Wooden musical instruments. Burning clothes and armors.

... Yes. I believe you are right.

[dbay]

Hell temple to Armok. absolutely. Build it over an eerie glowing pit, of course, and build a machine to drop elf traders into it. The Hell Temple needs to be heavily fortified, of course, with constant guards - demons will respawn in greater numbers. Designate a dwarf as high priest (dwarf style, that is - high priest of the mighty steel warhammer) with an adamantine throne...

That's it. it's resolved. I'm going to hell, and I'm bringing my army with me!


EDIT: would you believe the double meaning of that last line was unintentional?

Meh, we can't mine it.

Oh, I'm sure they're partial to the magma, too. Can't use more than x Urists of magma in zany dorfy shenanigans!

We demons are partial in particular to the slade in hell beneath your lands. Although we are loathe to spare a single pebble to your senseless quarrying, we are willing to-- wait, you can't mine it, right? Whew. Still, I will try to return next year as I am able.

[Xenos]

Build a bar that is a 7x7 square (7 starting dwarfs) out of pure adamantine from the bottom of the slade to the SMR.  Then, channel holes in the SMR, through the magma sea, and up to the surface (ask ImikNorris how it is done) and grow sunberries in hell.  (If possible.  Can you grow aboveground crops on muddy stone if it is outside or do you need soil?  Mod slade to be a soil type?  IDK...) If sunberries will not work, just grow underground booze in hell and export it to the rest of the world (turn hell into a crazy huge farm plot and assign all dwarfs to working it.  Export gratuitous quantities of hellish food and booze.  The caravans must enter into hell via a natural adamantine spiral which has been smoothed and engraved and a few adamantine doors/statues/etc. thrown in.    )

[Zrk2]

You are my hero.

[Urist Imiknorris]

You need soil for above ground crops.

[Xenos]

You need soil for above ground crops.

Mod slade to count as soil.  SOMEONE DO IT NOW FOR SCIENCE!

[Harudoku]

You are my hero.

Me?

Next thing you know, you'll be getting a demon ambassador saying "We are very partial to the slade beneath your fort...."

That would be amazing.

(ask ImikNorris how it is done) 

Hey, Imik, buddy, pal, how do you tunnel through semi-molten rock? I could make giant slade letters visible from the surface that could spell out any number of awesome things.

The caravans must enter into hell via a natural adamantine spiral which has been smoothed and engraved and a few adamantine doors/statues/etc. thrown in.    )

Can this actually be done? Would the caravans have access to it? I thought they needed a 3x3 area to travel through or something.

Drop some topsoil down via cave-in.

Or set a Pond somewhere, then see your dwarfs flee and put water INTO HELL!
