Towercloistered the Dark Fortress
« on: December 09, 2012, 10:38:36 am »

The goblin fortresses are a horrible place, the entities contained within fell as can be, and unforgiving.
For whom we come to acknowledge, let us stray from the depths of it's darkness and evil.


 I'm working on creating an actual dark fortress. It will be, well, a huge fortress with goblins within. I will have cruel torture chambers, and many slaves to labor. However, we have come to conflict with the other goblin civ. They sent countless ambushes and snatchers, but they are easily defeated. The small room on the left is my drowning chamber. It has a pump stack to pump water into the chamber, drowning it's victims. In the front of the fortress, there are two pikes with dwarf heads. Even though we are friendly with the dwarves, we like to show our badness. The halls are covered with blood, usually from invaders. I find this pleasing, because obviously blood looks good on evil fortresses.

  The bottom of the fortress is made of siltstone and other trace stones, but most of it is made of pitchblende. I use pitchblende because it has a nice dark purple, which suits the "evil fortress" theme. I used DFhack to change the main stone layer to pitchblende, which adds a nice purple effect to the surface.

Towercloistered died from an accidental loyalty cascade and a siege.
All efforts to reclaim it have shown little success.

For the dwarf heads on sticks, you put an upright spear and designate the corpse to be dumped on it.

I used DFhack to make it suitable.
