Fortress Inspiration
« on: September 14, 2012, 10:18:10 pm »

I'm interested in creating a fortress based on some famous building, base, or whatever. Can anyone find a map of such a place I could make in DF, or at least make a facsimile of in DF?

I don't think a map would be possible regarding it, but the Pentagon, or a DF equivalent, would be interesting to see made.

Sadly, there's probably no map, but if I can find a lot off marble and a way to make a pentagon in a grid, I'll consider it.

Step it up, and convert it into a Nascar track. Complete with food/drink supply lines to keep everyone drunk, fat, and happy at the races.

Maybe try one of those gigantic flak towers Hitler put up.

You're gonna need to dig out the entire embark tile.

Bread is actually -longland grass flour roast-, no need in modding it.

Try to build a giant statue of Buddha, but instead of Buddha place Armok. And don't forget to stain his beard, lips, hands and eyes with blood.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.
