Twin Tower Challenge
« on: April 23, 2008, 11:59:00 pm »

Here goes nothing...please only post if its suggestions and if you want to sign up for it.

Note: I have a VERY hard time getting past my second year so i decided to do this for a change. Also i am not going to be doing it because I'll take too long.

Goal - The goal is to build 2 towers that are as tall as all of your z levels and you must dig underground for storage (like a basement). You only have 9 years in which to complete this massive structure.

Map - You may only choose a map from this list (dont worry i made sure that they had a nice flat land)
Map #1
Seed: 2
Version: 33e?
Picture: http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/Image:Dwarfort_2007-11-03_02-06-26-53.jpg

Map #2
Seed: 891230954
Version: 33e?
Picture: http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/Image:Df_891230954.PNG

Map #3
Seed: 111121519
Version: 38c

I DO realise that these come from the Dwarf Fortress wiki.

Storyline: King Agak* wants your team of 7 to make 2 towers so that he can watch over the land of (insert map name here). He has only given you 9 years to complete these 2 towers, and since he is very poor you have these restrictions:

1 - No anvil of any sort
2 - One battle axe
3 - One Pick
4 - No animals
5** - No skill beyond Skilled

Teams:

There can be any number of teams and you must post replys with the map number you want, the map can only be decided when all 7 team members agree on one.

*Agak is the only Dwarven word I know in Dwarf Fortress, although i have no idea of whta it means...

**I may have to change this or delete it.

Not because of the memory requirements, though they would be huge, but because technology wouldn't advance.
10000 years of the same swords and shields sort of tech is goofy.

interesting.

For added spice, try this challenge on a map with :
-a goblin tower in one corner
-a stream or river cutting through the middle and
-build your tower in the opposite corner.  :D

-try not to spam any type of trap  
-make sure the gobbos can readilly reach your frontgate.
