Starcraft Fortress
« on: April 10, 2011, 12:31:51 pm »

1) Terran: Lots of self-contained buildings (as much as is possible in Dwarf Fortress). Most will have a Dwarven Terran Water Reactor installed (not necessarily running anything). Military is mostly equipped with massive ranged weapons (think silver crossbows).

*Supply depots: an underground farming, grazing, and/or storage area, with the surface area walled off with bridges (to simulate lowering and raising the structure into the ground without moving fortress parts).
*Barracks: Barracks and jail.
*Vespene Refinery: Extracts magma (and water if there's no surface source).
*Factory: includes workshops
*Starport: Advanced production and Trade depot
*Command Center: Main living quarters, and shaft. May be upgraded into Planetary Fortress with siege weapons.
*Bunker: Contains siege weapons.
*Missile Tower: Ranged weapons tower.
*Fusion Core: Contains levers to superweapons.
*Science Facility/Special Ops/Missile Silo: Houses nuclear magma based superweapons.
*Sensor Tower: A tower with fortifications and windows, with a 1x1 pasture zone containing a non-grazing animal of choice.

Zerg: Creep is simulated by having all unused base area taken up by farms. Buildings can/must be made out of modded-in organic blocks. Most military will be melee, with some ranged forces:

*Overlords and Queen: For every 8 dwarves, there is one militia captain or militia commander.
*Creep colonies: These contain manufacturing workshops and reactors.
*Extractor: Magma (and water) extraction, stills.
*Spawning Pool: Literally a roofed-over hole in the ground filled to 3/7 with water. Contains barracks.
*Evolution Chamber: Weapons production.
*Hydralisk den: Ranged weapons production.
*Spore colonies: Ranged weapons towers.
*Sunken colonies: Siege weapons towers.
*Ultralisk den: Elite troops go here.
*Hive: Everything else and reactors.
*Spire: Trade depots.
*Nydus network: Underground nexus of tunnels connecting critical regions of the map. Sealed off with drawbridges.

Protoss: To simulate the warp-in, all buildings will be connected with tunnels. Military gets equipped with the best weapons possible, mostly melee, some ranged.

*Nexus: Main living quarters and access to the underground (and farms).
*Pylons: All power to buildings (except the Nexus and Assimilators) must be supplied from these.
*Gateway: Barracks.
*Assimilator: Magma and water extraction. Can be self powered.
*Forge: Weapons production.
*Cybernetics core: Siege weapons production.
*Stargate: Trade Depot.

Suggestions would be appreciated  :D

Given current events, I've altered my profile pic and I'm sorry it took so long to fix. If you find the old one on any of my accounts elsewhere on the internet, let me know by message (along with the specific site) and I'll fix. Can't link the revised avatar for some reason.

Because I could make three votes I chose terran, all of them and none of them.
I don't know how this will affect your poll-data.

The organic block idea is actually pretty cool. You could mod in a small critter (replace the turkey, say) that just lays organic blocks. Reminds me of the third race in Command and Conquer 3, sort of.

Be sure to remove grazer before you do. Otherwise your elephants shall perish.

That'd actually be quite suitable for ultralisks.

And the nobles would constantly require more Vespene gas, even when there's none on the map?
