tower/house
« on: March 02, 2019, 06:44:13 am »
-Almost all the towers of the past were inclined, the towers incline over the years: Insert in the dialogues, descriptions and translate the upper floors of one / two tiles.   edit(ok for the Pisa Tower 4 / 5 tiles)

-Some towers collapse after a few centuries, hidden treasures could damage or get lost in the rubble.

-construction time from 3 to 10 years (tower)  (with masons and dwarf architects - 2/8 years)

Er... Source?

Like, the primary reason why the tower of Pisa is inclined is because it's foundation was terrible. There's plenty of towers and buildings that aren't inclined, such as many many many churches, castles and left over city towers. That doesn't make it a bad idea(especially for haunted houses), but to say all of them were inclined is a little absurd.

If you search in google you will find it.


Not all tower, but many.

I Googled, couldn't find any statistics proving that "almost all" towers lean.
Plenty of info on why some towers lean of course.

Maybe you're right, but "Google it" isn't a reply to the question.

Yes, there are many leaning towers in the world. I got that from my Google search. Alright, let's drop this. You say almost all towers lean, maybe they do, maybe they don't.

Leaning towers in dwarf fortress. OK. Yes, seems reasonable. I'm a sucker for those invisible details that almost no-one will ever spot. Definitely one for the architecture update.

and you can not see those collapsed or demolished for safety!

This game is full of details and I love it for this!
