Haste to burst bubble, but there';s never been any historical mention of the Archimedes "Death ray" until 500 years AFTER the battle occured

Still awesome idea, maybe Toady could add something like that into DF?

Mine goes overboard on Miners:

Miner/Leader/Architect
Miner/Mason
Miner/Woodcutter/Carpenter
Miner/Stone-crafter
Miner/Mechanic
Grower/Herbalist
Grower/Brewer/Cook

Miner/Woodcutter usually helps with the preliminary digging and then gets switched to forest duty

DF Suggestions / Re: Realistic Mining Suggestion
« on: October 08, 2008, 11:34:40 pm »
I really like the idea of rubble, because I think i would make the game more interesting and realistic. I agree that hauling and item management should be worked on before this is implemented though.
I had this idea; what if you had two designations that could be used for mining? One could be called mining, and be faster, but produce gravel as a waste that whould need to be cleared, the other could be called "Quarry" and be slower, but produce large chunks of stone that could be used for furniture and crafts.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Towers
« on: June 03, 2008, 10:36:00 am »
Can anyone give me advice on building a tower to defend my entrance, so far I have only been able to construct one level.... What I had in mind was pretty much a firing platform for marksdwarves and siege egines.

On this note should someone add a guide to the wiki about towers, and other constructions? I checked it, and it comes up blank, I realize that this may be part of the game, figuring out how to do this yourself, but surely a rough guide, or a few pointers can't hurt

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Dumb Dwarves

What is the dumbest/funniest thing one of your dwarves has ever done?
I've had them wall themselves in, channel themselves into an island....
Any favorites?
*Note this is not a glitch/bug thread, i am looking at this from the perspective of real dwarves doing some damn dumb things.

I'm on a map with a goblin tower, and I want to know; is there any way to cause a cave and collapse it from Underground? Going aboveground at all is NAO, Not an option.
