I'm good to go. It'll take me a while to post a report, though. No consistent internet access. Downloading the save now.

The previous turn was epic. Not sure how I am going to live up to that.

and we need to find out how to use the fire sword

I contemplated a dining room in hell, but that would be counter productive because there is one a few stairs up along with the rest of the area. Oh, and we already have a farm in hell.

Controlling the firesword would be awesome. Or maybe create a weapon trap with it. hehehe

I mined out a moderate sized area above the stairway to hell in order to have enough rocks to fuel my insane architectural boner.

don't sunberries & Wild strawberries
need a direct line to the sky to grow
so we need to farm them IN HELL
to spit in the face of the demons

sunlight needs to
penetrate
through the
adamantine shaft
and that's logicically impossible.

I've done it.  Look at the link in my sig and check around the 30-40 page mark Page 27.

How did that argument ever stopped any dwarf from trying?

That might actually work... A flaming sword in a weapon trap at the entrance to Deathgate should set fire to everyone who tries to get in.  :D
I just feel sorry for the ‼dwarf‼ who is singled out to build it.

In fact, if you check my wrapping-up picture-fest, you will note that I found a possible route to do this for a 1x1 farm. That said, I'm not 100% positive, and you need to go through watery cavern, but it may work.

You don't get a hell of a lot of use out of minions when the standard training regimen outputs quadriplegics.
Unless you load the quadruplegics into catapults and fire them on the enemy.
First person to record farming in HFS, and in a community fort no less!

If it's over an unused area of Hell, you might as well tap into the lake from below with a novice miner.  Chances are, it'll probably flow down a Glowing Pit somewhere.

HOLY CRAP LAG!!

and, um. Happy New Years, Deathgate. Things are progressing. Slowly. This fortress is twisted, utterly mad, and I like the weapon trap idea, I'm just not sure I could stand the lag the melting of dwarves would create. Better update next time.

Haha, yeah, Deathgate gets impossible lag. Just wait until you tear down the wall blocking pathing to hell; and watch your FPS fall faster then a dwarf who dodged into a volcano.
