Grand constructions
« on: November 03, 2008, 09:20:47 am »

So I'm thinking I want to build a massive tower-top tomb for my dwarf leader, in the center of a massive electrum water-tower, which would have to be drained in order for anyone to ever reach the Lord Mayor.

Could enough gold be dug/bought to make this viable? The pseudo-silver ores can fill out the silver element, easy, but gold could be a major stopping point.

Got time?

Got a high enough FPS?


Sure.  Order a lot of gold/electrum from the dwarven caravans.

Although I'd personally suggest billion myself, if you have a lot of tetrahedrite on hand.

Billon would be cool, but it doesn't have the raw "Check this out, mofo" of a tower made of an incredibly valuable alloy of Gold and Silver.

With a cool name like Electrum, too.

Then fill the water tower with carp.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Toady, how much of DF is inspired by Labyrinth? Is Armok actually David Bowie? Because that would simultaneously be disturbing and awesome.

Doppel has been ecstatic lately. He took joy in playing DF lately. He slept on a rough cave keyboard recently.
He is a member of the Dwarf Fortress Forums.
Doppel likes the color Dark Blue, cats for their aloofness and girls for their silky soft brea beards.
He appreciates art and natural beauty.
