rate my fort, and architect competition ^^
« on: October 20, 2008, 06:17:26 am »

So hey, i actually build on a huge fortress, or like Markavian in the comments said: a thriving city

i just want to get more comments, and maybe ideas what to do.

http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-3703-axeauraofangels


and on the other side i want to make a little competition:
the northeast area is completly clear, so i want to make some monumental statue or something. but i am very bad at designing such a huge thing and not very creative... so why not get the df community involved and let them design them. a real price i cant make, just to note your name on the dfmaps page, and a dwarf of your choice with the name in the fort ^^
the rules are simply:
the monument should be maximum 13 z levels high, and 10-50 in x and y levels.
it could be anything from a gigantic dragon, a group of dwarfs or whatever.
material used should be mainly obsidian, but also clear/green glas, logs, bauxite (red), limonite(white), maybe also a few bars (black bronze, gold, and so on) can i make into it.
also useable is water and magma, but the power needed shouldnt exceed 2000 points (i use windmills).
in a 3d view it should look totaly awesome, i heard of "magmabreathing" dragons or dwarfs with magma eyes(and a clear glass window of course). all i need is a plan floor per floor, with pumps, axles, walls, floors, whatever is needed. for magmatechs i use steel stuff (block, screwpump, floodgates) and bauxite mechanics.
for water and magma is addinal there should be a 3x3 input zone, and a 1x1 output zone somewhere in the floor (but only one at each) so i can drain the complete magma/water again if needed. with the zones i mean a channeled area there the underground will take up or put in the stuff ^^.
for dwarfs and construction it should be connected to underground somewhere too, i will wall of the ground and floor the rest that isnt needed for consturction.

A stopped clock is right for exactly two infinitessimal moments every day.
A working clock on the other hand is almost never ever exactly right.

Military dorfs are the busiest if their partner is also in the military, Military children are my forts future, also its hilariously tragic when a mother carrying her child into battle gets hit, and the baby dies....
I fixed that up for you.

I'm working on figuring out how to integrate ornamental axles into a fort made of glass. How's THAT for architecture?
