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.

DF Suggestions / Another Magic Topic
« on: June 06, 2008, 09:35:00 pm »
This topic has probably been done to death, but here's my idea;
Dwarven magic, which would be runic based, would be limited to the gifted few, those who had been touched by the fey. The basic idea is that a new type of strange mood, "Mystic mood" would make a dwarf carve a rune, and give him the dabbling skill level in Rune Crafting. The skill would also rely on the engraving and stone crafting skill.

Once you have a rune crafter, you would be able to create a new workshop, which would allow you to create different types of runes, the quality of the runes would depend on the type of stone, and the skill level of the crafter.
