Drilledtraded, the fortress of lead zeppelin
« on: May 06, 2015, 03:33:01 pm »



Let me tell you about a mountainhome of Drilledtraded, my second long-term fort. This is a fort of a lead zeppelin, a copper tortoise and many more wonders. I made an imgur album, here it is: http://imgur.com/a/HkT6u

If you read Russian, you can also read about this fort at http://vadim-proskurin.livejournal.com/tag/drilledtraded

Hope you will like it.

Is your plan really to flush water into hell, and have the CARP marines fight them without threat of flame or disease?  If so, you are awesome, and one of the greatest DF military visionaries I've seen yet ( not that I've seen that many, or any, for that matter )

Dwarf Fortress: "I had to build a temporary soap bridge to rescue wounded dwarves who had fallen onto the turtle's head."

This is amazing, vp. I already said that but I still haven't said it enough.

EDIT: And reading further "We had to build it out of [the most valuable material in existence] because we ran out of soap."

"The upper part of the tortoise is filled with magma."

8/8. 100% dorfy. I definitely approve of this tortoise.

Seriously though, all of it is freaking amazing. Great job! I should try some simple megaproject at some point, they seem like fun. Maybe something like a pyramid. :)

I love this community. Somebody asks "hay guise how do i tame shark", and then everybody is like "why don't we fling sharks at things with complex mechanical devices?".

"It's a bad place, there's nothing to do here." Hah, incidentally I did manage to get a few screenshots from a big supercollapse magma piston in stonesense some time ago:

Fun read, interesting that you translate minecarts and tracks to railroad, but your english is fine.
