Just a question for the fun of it - Ships
« on: February 20, 2024, 03:47:46 pm »

When, or if, we ever get working ships and we, maybe, can build our own. what would you name your first ship?

I think I will call mine the 'Mary Celeste' just for the fun of it.  What can go wrong?

The Titanic...but it'll only be called that because I plan on filling it with titan corpses.

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.

I'd let the dorfs name it, and probably end up with something like "Malignanthurricanes".

That or "Vengefulalbatrosses".

Train an army of giant attack albatrosses to fly alongside it.

Wait...do albatrosses exist in DF? Mod them in, if not.

Why stop there. We could have dwarf submarines even if it is an unofficial feature.

Built with magma safe materials for the win!!!

They do! I had one fortress where the above-ground was positively carpeted with albatross corpses.

While I doubt functioning boats are in the cards this decade, cool as theyd be, ive seen a few people make ocean embarks that resemble boats. I was considering making an "oil rig" my next embark myself.
