Potential future megaproject - waterpark
« on: January 18, 2009, 10:20:09 pm »

If someone were to pump water to the top z level and pump it down a marble block series of ramps and flat land, and with  two levers on top (one for the slider to pull to shoot water at himself to slide down, and one to reset the water to let someone else slide.

It would be cool and pointless. ;D

Pointless? I think not. Awesome? Yes. Especially if you can come visit it in adventure mode.

It'd be even more awesome if you could weaponise it to drown invaders or nobles.

Elves do it in trees. Humans do it in wooden structures. Dwarves? Dwarves do it underground. With magma.

So I cut off all other entrances for the map, leaving a large ramp structure to go up (wagons) and ramps down on the slide, whick leads to the ocean, where there would be a drawbridge thats raised for gobbo/noble and down for migrants.

sounds fun.

I am so doing that. You could make your training area/barracks on top of a hill where the reservoir would be with slides going to different locations guided by floodgates and levers so you could scramble your dwarves like fighter jets to anywhere in your base in a flash.

And rig it to pressure plates that would slide the military to the breached entrance.

Fixed it for you.

"Yeah. My plan was to drop some kittens into the siege, and have my dwarves freefall into battle, landing on top of the kittens. The plan was kinda dumb though because the kittens were standing on grates, and the goblins killed them with arrows just as I was releasing the freefalling dwarves. So the dwarves weren't able to land on kittens and just fell and died."

Also make a giant toilet where you dump trash in and flush it down to the sewers.
