omfg awesome, simultaneous deathtrap/super efficient dwarven liquidation??? how could anything top that?


anyway, dragons seek revenge on fort baalzbuster, so  they band together and flame the countryside

closer and closer they march, arrows embedding themselves in newly-created orifices on the front of the dragons bodies.

dwarves run out to attack in melee, yet the dragons swipe and burn the path through the fortress, leveling both roads and dwarves. They knock over dwarves for disembowlment. The Dragons then flame the dwarves through liberal application of firebreath, from the both the enclosed walls, and deep deep in the bowels of the fotress.

thus liberated, the dragons proceed to defacate upon the murals, piss on the walls and hoard every dwarven artifact and masterpiece in the entire fortress.

in an unfortunate circumstance, the dragons near the booze accidentally set off the toxic fumes, destroying the entire inside of the fortress, along with all its now devalued furniture,with a fire so hot that nearby magma flows like superheated water.

this magma, expanded due to increased heat, overflows its level containment, and destroys the obligatory lava-controll lever, releasing redhot magma to fill the fotress, forever removing fort baalzbuster from the map.

tell me what you think.(good, bad, hard to read)

totally awesome, but a little hard to read

It's based in an old game I played back in the 90's, but I'm still enthralled by the imagery. 

Imagine wandering through Adventure Mode, or Dwarf Mode, to wander into a blighted and poisoned land?  Where the very soil bleeds red?

And then you realize why.

An entire city constructed out of now rusting Iron.

Goblins, using their new seige AI, overcome a moat guarding a dwarven fortress.  The few crossbowdwarves and small catapult firing from fortifications prove ineffective at repelling them and the goblins enter the fortress.

The main entrance of the fortress appears to be a large wood stockpile. Bolstered by their apperant entry into the civilian areas of the fortress they rush ahead, only to encounter a caged fire imp.  The cage falls away when they get near and when the goblins prepare to face the minor threat another cage falls on the imp, trapping it again.

Puzzled by this the goblins fail to notice the wood stockpile is now on fire until they smell the smoke.  Many die in the flames, but some manage to escape back outside.  They notice that the bridge they built to cross the moat has been destroyed by the catapult, and that wood has been strategically placed to allow the fire from the stockpile to spread to the grass between the fort and the moat...

nobles get happiness from completed mandates based on the value of the items created to fill the mandate a silver flask or a ***Silver flask*** or an artefact silver flask would make the noble happy for different lengths of time with the artefact flask perhaps so filling the noble's desire for silver flasks that the noble will never mandate another silver flask. happyiness of insane levels from getting artefact that happen to fill a mandate might cause the noble to pardon criminals from previous unfilled mandates. Some lucky fortress has a baron that has artefact fills on everything the baron liked to mandate, and the player goes to extra effort to keep his baron happy healthy and in office.

 (Toady is updating the nobles it has not been done yet and this would be a very dwarven thing and would encourage players to try to ensure high quality on the mandate fills so there will be fewer mandates to fill ... estatic nobles do not make mandates, they're too happy)

What I would really love is if instead of mandates to make a couple items you'll never use, if mandates resulted in items like these.

Some kind of artifact relating to the preferences of the noble. Of course, unlike an artifact it would have different quality levels depending on the artisans that worked on it.

The Kobold wiped the sweat off it's brow, thinking how lucky it had been. The dwarf had decided to wrestle it. It pulled off the giant scorpion armor and was in the process of ripping off his own arm to strangle him with it when it made the mistake. The dwarf bit him. His arm was broken in several places, and hurt a bit, but the kobold would live. He put back on his armor and picked up his copper dagger, grinning at the stupid dwarf with pure malice. "Jreengus" it giggled at the dwarf. Jreengus was the Kobold sound for bad digestion, as well as the poison secreted in the sweat of Kobolds. The Kobold yipped out a laugh as it skewered the dwarf with it's copper dagger through the heart. It bent down and picked up the dwarven artifact toy boat. It was the Kobold's lucky day! Surely the mate it wanted would choose it if it had such a worthy trinket!

Goblins, using their new seige AI,

Sorry if you know this already, but in case you don't, the next release won't have new siege AI.

"The eggs are made of precious metals or hard stones decorated with combinations of enamel and gem stones."

Needs more "menaces with spikes of turtle shell".

I forgot if I mentioned this, but;

Alchemy shop open for reaction modding, IIRC.

With the new materials, poisons, and all other sorts of horror... this makes me happy.

Give dwarves an attack that makes them shoot flaming plump helmet from their beards.

Making it so that when my minifigures over-exert themselves, they sweat toxic plastic dust (from friction).

Rivers and rains of blood, tar pits.
Oh, and lots more heavy-metal album art style monsters in terrifying biomes. They aren't all that terrifying at the moment.

[Footkerchief]

Rivers and rains of blood, tar pits.

I apologize to everyone for saying this like a broken record, but there will NOT be new liquid flows in the next version.  Just lots more liquid spatters and gaseous flows.
