<STRONG>Well if we have nuclear power, we need things to power. Like turbo pumps that shoot water or magma across the maps. Or dwarven rapid transit systems. Or goblin rapid crushing systems. Also, deathrays. And orbital lasers. And who can forgot good old fashioned explosives? Need to add some of those too. Like nuclear catapults. Let's see those gobbo bastards deal with that.</STRONG>

But first, we need tamable sharks in the oceans.

so your suggesting chemotherapy?

[Neskiairti]

nuclear power aside.. we do need more things to do with power we can.. uh.. move water.. uh.. yeah.. oh and lava..

I want a tram damnit.. I wantconveyer belts.. I want an escelator.. that keeps going up so if a dwarf falls down it.. he falls forever!

[Thassa]

Don't forget grinding stuff.

Though it would be nice to grind some stones into pigments (cinnabar for instance).

No. Dwarves are too tough to get cancer, and they treat radiation sickness with hair transplantation.

Nuclear fission and fusion could power the space elevators conveying miners to the asteroids in which you've marked tunnels for excavation.

ACID SHARKS!

[mport2004]

What about air pressure?

[Jhyn]

And after nuclear power, you might want to find a good way to spend all that good power. Because I'm sure you will never need enough pumps to waste it all.

An idea could be to link levers to floodgates and linking other levers to those levers, building this way a great processing unit (floodgat closed : 1, open : 0) of a few Hertz, able to calculate the point of arrival of this catapult-launched stone. Oh, wait, when the map is covered by a gigantic megacalculator, you know the ultimate task which will lead you to immortality : making DF running on it.

[Magnusian]

Perhaps some sort of simple elevator system, like a 3x3 channel shaft going down several z-levels and a bridge that is connected to 4 chains at the corners, you'd need a separate shaft for a counter-weight and the whole thing could be powered by orphaned children conscripted into a life of hard labour for murdering their own parents.

Naturally, the chains could randomly fail, based upon quality.

was pretty funny, but to me the punchline was:

also, I like the idea of implementing No theatre.

[NTheGreat]

Am I the only one here who has visions of novice haulers piling up enough high quality bars of uranium in some random stockpile underneath your fort to exceed critical mass, blowing the whole place sky high and leaving no trace of your empire aside from a smouldering crater?

Dwarven ale is chemotherapy. Dwarven ale kills cancer, among many other things.   :p

[celestial_okami]

How about making copper items develop a nice green patina over the years and change color?  Kind of pointless but kinda nice and realistic.

[Awayfarer]

Ladies(?) and gentlemen, nuclear power is just not realistic.

On the other hand, collosal stone golems created with stone blocks and mechanisms, and powered by several dozen pump operaters at special levers, is!   :p

[GRead]

Dwarves should have a negative thought when a friend of a friend dies.
