Picturefloors!
« on: April 02, 2009, 01:25:45 pm »

No, that's not the name of my fortress; that's Pickfall.

Unfortunately, I had no iron or magma in that location, so I decided to do a little architecture. Here's the courtyard:

Those are supposed to be picks, by the way. The handle is made of cinnabar floors, the blade of gabbro floors, the rest of quartzite floors, and the edge of olivine floors.

Also, for those who can't read tilesets: the blue wavy thingies are kimberlite roads. The rest is not important.

Anyone else done something like that? If so, show off!

Sure; in my sig you can see links to two forts where I carved out a "Great Hall" in the shape of a giant mural.  My latest fort still doesn't have its impressive mural yet, but I'm planning a constructed floor mural of a White Oak in the main dining hall.  I'm going to need to start importing colored stones if I don't find some light and dark green stones soon!

Dreambrother has my original hammer-shaped Great Hall.  Towerweak has taken the idea to the next level.

I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you all so much.

I will never be able to build a regular fort again. TEH HORROR.

I know that that's just kimberlite in the original pic, but I'm now tempted to divert the local river to circle around my courtyard.  :)

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

I've been planning to do this, but the last few fortresses.. the only image that would have been appropriate would be a HUGE TARGET.
