Well, deciding that my dining hall needed the BEST of everything...

I have decided to outfit it in masterwork statues...



Now what do I do with the 60 Exceptional Statues I have.

Can I sell them to caravans?

You could start a historically-themed megaproject.

They're heavy and not particularly valuable, so I'd say just chuck 'em, or scatter them around the fortress in out-of-the-way corners. If you have undug space to the sides of your main passageways, you could dig little alcoves out and put statues into them.

You can also use them to narrow wagon access down to a single, easily-defended route.

I have an idea.

Okay, step on the Plates and the statues release many beasts.

I think I'm going to have to shamelessly copy this in a future project, because that is an awesome idea.

Okay, I just want to further the Dwarven might, one overseer at a time.

Oh, and if any wants to know how to use a catapult to rid a section of river of any aquatic threats, please post a reply.

EDIT: And here is a disclaimer, that image was made with DFPaint, and cropped with Paint, you can tell by the two foolish mistakes I made, in it's productions.

EDIT II: I have many ideas and plans that are dubious in functionality ( as in not tested ) , but are theorized to have a high probably of actually functioning.

Actually, you can only continue to use it if you go join my community fortress Brokensquare. Do it now, Lulz will ensue at this rate.
