So... Ocean...
« on: May 13, 2009, 02:44:54 am »
Okay, I've modded in the race of terrors again. Wanted to install a vanilla version again, was having issues.

Anyways, I'm build on the ocean 8x8 with about 80 dwarfs averaging 45 FPS.

It's completely self sustaining annnnnnd I don't know what to do.

It's about 3 Z levels tall at about 60x60 tiles size for each z level.

I'm not getting any land animals at all which is kind of depressing, I had a masterful defense, then I cut it down to just 2 floodgates and 3 6x10 drawbridges.

>.>

I need a megaproject idea, but no a sculpter mega project.

I was thinking that largest possibly obelisks I could make on each side, just for SnG's.

I've thought about building else where because even though it's saltwater, I have a freaking well that could support at least 100 years of no booze and no refilling... It has a pump right next to it for instant refill.

I need ideas or place that I know the damn creature of death will show up...

That's the bastard I can't get to show up. I had it show once in my previous install, but it doesn't show up as much as I'd like.... aka always.

For that viciously bad pun, I'm gonna introduce a NPC named Vlynndar just so that I can kill him of in a cruel and unusual way.

Submerged like how? Going down Z-levels by using an insane array of screw pumps to lower water level just enough to place a wall? and repeat?

or start on land and tunnel many z levels under the ocean and then try to go up...?

Submerged as in there is no part of the fortress sticking out from under the water.
If your fort is selfsufficient (which it is) it works. No trade is possible, obviously.
For bonus points, have a lot of windows instead of walls. And a fountain spouting up from the top.

That creature you got is pretty tame... try making it size 40+ with 6-20 damage on it's main attack. and 4-12 on its secondary. and at least 4 dam block.

No, I think the cook would be in charge of sugar-coating the cows.

You are a lifesaver! Round and probably in tropical flavors.

If you have magma, lignite bins.

Also, your "Terror" is evil.  Evil creatures only show up on evil maps.  Remove the [EVIL] tag, and it should appear more often.

Andir and Roxorius "should" die.

Yes, actually, I am trying to get myself banned.  I wish Toady would quit working on this worthless piece of junk and go back to teaching math.

I played that awesome map you genned with your DF folder, and I ended up playing as terror... :P

"If you can't build a tower upon a sheer cliff face over which you may throw precisely one hundred and fifty-two kittens and seven stalwart dwarves to their explosive doom some fifty stories below, then brother, your game ain't much of a sandbox, is it?"

Ice is nasty stuff. Or just not being able to fast travel, and running out of water.  Because it is frozen.
