Title: Just a question for the fun of it - Ships
Post by: callisto8413 on February 20, 2024, 03:47:46 pm
When, or if, we ever get working ships and we, maybe, can build our own. what would you name your first ship?

I think I will call mine the 'Mary Celeste' just for the fun of it.  What can go wrong?

The Titanic...but it'll only be called that because I plan on filling it with titan corpses.

Lady Vanishes, because it's one of my favorite Hitchcock films.. and also I expect it will vanish.

I'd let the dorfs name it, and probably end up with something like "Malignanthurricanes".

That or "Vengefulalbatrosses".

Train an army of giant attack albatrosses to fly alongside it.

Wait...do albatrosses exist in DF? Mod them in, if not.

Why stop there. We could have dwarf submarines even if it is an unofficial feature.

Built with magma safe materials for the win!!!

They do! (https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Albatross) I had one fortress where the above-ground was positively carpeted with albatross corpses.
