Yep Those were the ones..  Iwant to do something similar to mine.. Design a large City about 10 zlevels down or so with the entrance gong around the central Pit... The hhard part, for now... is I want to try and carve a symmetrical Shaft all the way down to make the pit nice and even on all sides... Suggestions?

I came so close to tantrummy death! I realized my haulers bringing in the last of the booze were going RIGHT NEXT TO the edge of the chasm where the GCS was sitting on a bit of an outcroppy hill. A few got "webbed" but kept going, but I suppose they just tripped in webs, they weren't attacked. One got done in by ratmen, and one by the GCS. Everyone else was cranky as hell for about half a year. One went melancholy when she couldn't meet with my mayor. It's been slow wall smoothing until I got an immigrant wave... still not sure what to do with this place (I hate TOTALLY ripping off sneakeypete's forts)

This is the first fort I keep the drawbridge up more often than I let it down :X

Bah I still can’t get the soil layers to be the same, and I am wondering about my lack of GCS action so far… pity because everything else is the same.

So far it seems that...For those that Are trying to use the "reveal" cheat... Stone layers differ from map to map depending on whose Seed you downloaded.. Curiously, the veins, formations, stone blooms are in the Same spot... but WHAT they are are different...

On another note.... We need someone to render this map in 3Dwarf, we need an idea of what this place looks like :D

ONE MORE THING!!!

Since this site has taken on a life of its own now... I HIGHLY recomend that we start... a SUCCESION game of this! Someone needs to start a map and begin passing it around...

Just tHINK of the potential for "fun" in a succesion game on this map!

What say ye all?

So after a safe, happy two years, where the few dangers I had were easily dealt with, a caravan arrived right next to the chasm. First came the trogs and the ratmen, they destroyed most of the caravan, but one merchant, one swordsdwarf, and one hammerdwarf survived. The hammerdwarf started over the mountain toward the Depot anyway, for some reason, and that's where the GCS caught him. Luckily, before he died, he managed to heavily damage its abdomen. Figuring that was as good a time as any to kill the GCS, especially since everything the caravan had was lying very near its lair, I sent 9 legendary wrestlers after it.

Six dead wrestlers later, I had only damaged a few of its legs, and I was getting scared. So I sent my Ultra-Mighty, Unbelievable Agile, Perfectly Tough Miner/Mason after it. Now, just a few weeks earlier, the GCS had murdered my mayor/broker/organizer/bookkeeper, and the Miner/Mason was forced to take over all of his jobs. So he runs up, copper pick in hand, and here's where it gets really crazy. He swings, twice. First time, he takes out a leg, second time, he ruins another leg and gets his pick stuck in it. One attack later, the Spider is dead. I don't know where he hit him or how, but he murdered the thing with his bare hands.

He's getting a golden tomb atop an obsidian tower, all natural-made obsidian, so it can have thousands of engravings of his glorious victory.


Also, a fire imp attacked one of my haulers. The hauler dodged three firebursts unscathed, then teamed up with another hauler and ripped the imp in half. I was very proud.

Was this deliberate or did you just get lucky fiddling around with the settings? Either way it's awesome

I'm only like 2 months into this place because my first team sent in got "butchered" by imps.  Well.. one got roasted then the others died trying to remove his corpse from the inferno which started.  Next time I ran it.. first thing I did was build a stone wall around the magma pipe. :p

If we do start a succession game for this map, please sign me up for it.
We'll have to name it something ridiculous like Boatmurdered.
