Looking for megaproject ideas for a DF let's play.
« on: December 26, 2014, 11:32:32 pm »

Hey guys and girls. I'm looking for ideas for a let's play series I want to do of 2014 DF. I already got plans for obsidian casting. What else? I'm going to go flat 4x4 embark with a volcano if that helps.

Also should I post here for support or in community creations?

This thread is fine, seeing as you're discussing dwarf mode.

...

As for megaprojects, you could have a look at the wiki page and see if that gives you any ideas.
I'm sure other people with have many more suggestions, but it's a starting point.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Gold and platinum obelisk? Space elevator? True to scale castle? Giant stone moose? All aboveground fort?

A giant porcelain fountain with a statue in it, many z levels tall, with integral pump stack. Make it in the shape of a dwarf, nauseated by the sun, bent over at the waist, with one hand raised to block out the evil rays while the other clutches his roiling gut. The dwarf is endlessly vomiting torrents of water, or for bonus points, magma. For ultra mega bonus points, make it a repeating magma cannon.

Meh I'm kinda plugging myself anyways.

Gold and plat Obelisk I like very much. Giant moose.. how would I plan that?

This.. is amazing. I've got no idea how I would go about making the dwarf shape. Need some CAD skill or something.

A tower casted from obsidian, smoothed, then engraved, with an elite guard outside it, who wield masterwork obsidian short swords in masterwork steel plate, each having an artifact breasplate.

Start with graph paper and draw it out?

Going to be doing plenty of casting. This is doable. Dunno about the artifact BP for every dwarf though  :-\

Carve your entire map into a dwarf statue.

... Giant stone moose? ...

Read this as "Giant stone Moses?" I think yes. Find a skinny headland on the ocean...part the water XD

Bonus points for casting the old fellow out of obsidian.

Make your fort out of cast obsidian.
