"Your settlement has crumbled to its end."

I think this area is a bit hardcore for me; first a GCS tore the arms, legs and head off my farmer, her two cats, her friend and two other dwarves, then a ratman chased the rest of my dwarves half way across the map before giving them similar treatment.

Can I have this map in a serene, friendly biome, please?

[ElChad]

I don't see the difficulty here. My GCS seems to always be a timid fellow at the south east corner of the map. The trogs don't seem to be attacking my outpost either. Hell; The GCS seems to be making mincemeat out of any hostile down there.

I got unlucky a few times myself. Embarked right on top of a GCS for example, and it ripped my 7 initial dorfs to shreds. Second embark I just dug myself in, moved everything inside, and then shut myself off from the outside world with a drawbridge. Worked much better

Only downside is that whenever I want to attack something on the outside, Urist McNiceFellow and his squad of merry wrestledwarfs kill stuff by projectile-vomiting it to death.

Ohh... so awsome... i even got loads of black sand, my favorite gonna have to make a glass superstructure now... with magma pouring off of it... onto kittens.

[Phazer]

good luck with that 

hmm i would like to see more of those who play on the map and that they could upload their forts to the map archive.
would be intresting to see what else this site can offer.

[tp12]

Just had an ambush... but it wasn't a dwarf that detected it...



edit: oh... wait... those are mountain goats... ah its still funny.

[Phazer]

you should be happy. 

[sonerohi]

Bump.

I'm a little late to the party, but the seed doesn't work right for me (cause I'm using vd.10?)  Could someone upload it to DFFD? cause the rapidshare is dead.

Here's my map so far.

http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-5559-boltedgirder

I got somewhat different soil layers than most others. No flux, but sand usefully placed. Orcs and upgraded gobbos. Popcap was set to 18.

I decided to build a green glass cylindrical fortress inside the bottomless pit. Only about 8 levels done so far, but a lot of time was lost to tree cutting and hauling for the power plant. 272 water wheels. Disengaged from the pump stacks, they require 3380 power just to be idle. When fully powered, it should produce approximately 21,000 surplus power beyond the needs of the water and magma pump ladders. Anyone have any ideas what to do with the excess?

I dug out the river to bring water to the fortress and some surface area to flood for tower caps. I decided to expand it a bit more, branching off to the east and connecting it to the chasm and opening up a bit more tower cap space. At the chasm I hope to be able to catch purring maggots as well. Two GCS have been captured and set up in two silk farms above the entrance.

Once completed, I'll pump out the magma pipe and excavate 3-5 tiles around the fortress to the bottom and extend the moat to expand the magma pipe. I'm preparing for tunneling strategies for future versions. My idea for an entrance will be a green glass snake extending down from the easternmost edge of the pipe through the magma pipe and to somewhere 6-10 levels down where the new trade depot will be. Caravans will enter the mouth of the snake and descend through the magma. Below it will be a suspended glass mini fortress which will house the bedrooms.

Much to do yet. Oh, I have but one soldier. She's standing proudly in the center of the fort on the entrance level. 532 kills to her name, she masterfully lures orc sieges and massacres them in the depot space with her artifact iron crossbow.

[Mraedis]

I started with a 2x2 area that includes the magma pipe in the lower right corner, good times. 

[ThtblovesDF]

Well I am getting my fort started as well, we really have to make a thread where we can compare the different forts that spawned from this site.


*** Oh wow... I still had cats on temp. 40 000 and well... my 2 cats blew up in my face, but whatever I still keep going, why not make it a little harder.

[Randominality]

I like your self mixed grapics set by the way Martin. Is there any chance you could upload it so i can steal bits of it?

I gen'ed this world, it seems exact, found Heaven with no problem... but after 2 years and a MESS of exploratory mining, shafts looking for veins (spaced 6 apart) - NO IRON!

Now, it's only in sedimentary

I then resorted to something I'd never done before - downloaded and used the reveal cheat.  Not one tile of iron.  Hella copper, and gold and tetrahedrite up the wazoo, valuable gems like sand on the beach - but I'm just not prepared to fight everything with copper or steel recovered from scrounged weapons.

Heaven just turned into hell for me.
