Ow. Also, a way to annoy nobles?
« on: August 29, 2008, 12:03:30 am »



Also, I was thinking about this. It requires an area where the water freezes and unfreezes:

Code: [Select]
Z-level 0, . = floor, ~ = ice
.........
.~~~~~~~~.
.~~~~~~~~.
.~~~~~~~~.
.~~~~~~~~.
.~~~~~~~~.
.~~~~~~~~.
.~~~~~~~~.
.~~~~~~~~.
..........

Z-level -1, where x = walls, . = floor, b = bed. This is a noble's room, by the way, and would require quick carving before the ice melts.

xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
xx......xx
xx......xx
xx......xx
xx...b..xx
xx......xx
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx

This way, when spring hits, they're hit in the face with a pond full of muddy, freezing water.

much easier way? put a door on their room, and a simple lever inside the room. set it so only they can pull the lever, and set 'pull lever' on repeat. this forces the specific dwarf into a room with a door... which you can then lock. once they die of thirst/hunger, simply unlock the door and let them enjoy their tomb.... go ahead and make it a small tomb.

plus if you change your mind, you can just unlock the door and watch them sprint for the food stores. and then send them to whatever new killing maching you think they should enjoy.

heck, if you put your nobility levers outside, they can warn you of incoming ambushes the hard way... and you could probably put the hammerer out there to 'stand guard' in that manner.
