Project Ideas
« on: April 06, 2012, 01:33:29 pm »

Greetings, neighbor. I am the Expedition Leader of Holyhammer of Smiths, owned by The Killer of Demons! Under the banner of 'The Persuasive Lash', we will create a new Fortress to dig for candy and fun!

But enough about me, I was wondering if you fellow dwarves had ideas for potential megaprojects I could work on since I didn't have many ideas of my own.

This is what I have right now:

Dwarven Tower Defense (A Defense system consisting of a huge maze lined with towers filled to the brim with archers, barracks filled with hammerdwarves to slow the enemy down, and possibly towers with siege engines. Oh, and also traps strewn across the maze)

The Arena of Doom (Arena for aspiring dwarven gladiators, prisoners of war, and any deadly beast we can get our hands on)

Dwarven Drop Pods (Pods for dwarves to be in so they can fire themselves into *The Circus* and worse!


I'm not looking for anything *too* complicated, seeing as how I haven't managed to surive past year two with a fort yet.

A gigantic castle. In the middle, a keep where on the top floor your nobles live. Include an "unfortunate accident" mechanism just incase. Make it out of only 1 material, preferably granite.  ;)

Also, if you've got wooden furniture in the dining hall, you have some big issues anyways.
This is Dwarf Fortress, not the Fluffy Wambler Express.

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.

!!IDEA!!

Arena of Doom could be built to be one of the conventions in the circus! Complete with menacing spikes everywhere and dead corpses left to rot, with only the middle cleared of bodies and gear to encourage fighting in the one spot that will be plain to see for everyone!
