Very dorffy. Will dl and try it out. Yay!

[ThatAussieGuy]

FINALLY updated the OP with pictures.  Sorry I didn't do it sooner, I just plain forgot 

[Pinguinpanic]

Looks awesome, maybe you could make it more fun for players that found this thread by removing how long you have to sacrifice dwarfs? That way people won't know how often to sacrifice dwarfs and it's like a risk; doing it later makes it more likely to collapse your whole fort but leaves more dwafs, doing it quicker makes it less likely to collapse but leaves you with less dwarfs.

That's kind of unfair though.  Wouldn't want to wind up with the fort in an unwinnable situation simply because your last save is two seconds before the fortress destroys itself.  With it as it is, there's only one specific location in the fortress where the time remaining is show AND the counter is a little dodgy.  Up to the player to remember to keep a constant eye on it every year or so.  Get too distracted by that new mega project deep underground...

Of course, you're always free to destroy the Doom Counter yourself if you want to up your own challenge.

Why not remake the doomclock so that if you find it it will automatically self destruct? It would make the map way more fun.

The clock's relatively safe from inquisitive overseers.  I did originally plan to rig it that way, but I just plain forgot.  Oh well.

make a new one with minecarts. dwarven auto-shotguns.

Haven't been playing much lately due to being busy, but I am tinkering with the basics of a new megaproject fortress

[Iosyn]

This is unbelievably awesome.

And my god, someone actually stuck notes on everything. You have no idea how much this pleases me.

If I didn't note everything, I guarantee I'd have gotten a PM going "why'd the whole fort suddenly collapse on me?!"

[Pyro627]

There isn't really a doomclock, is there? I bet it's just like the swan, a psychological experiment of some sort.

[Aseaheru]

i vote that before you say something wrong, that you try it first. that said, i wait for the results of your try.

It is there, it has been tested, and I have the aftermath pictures of The Spire collapsed into a concave mess of rock and corpses

Spoiler:  For those who doubt me (click to show/hide)

The. Clock.  WORKS

The one job cancellation on the final screenshot really did it for me.

Even though the fort is collapsing around him, the brave and bold miner still tries to finish his job.

[Mr S]

Because that job is Drink!  Can't say as I'd blame him.
