Need a megaproject
« on: May 10, 2009, 05:23:23 am »

I'm getting bored, so I need a megaproject to do. Could anyone suggest a good one? Medium difficulty if possible, stupidly tricky if not.

Build a giant tower with the roof being the top z-level. Then, have a hole in the middle that leads all the way to the very bottom of the map. At the bottom of the shaft, place a table, made of bauxite or something else with a reddish colour, and build a dining room or gladiator arena around it. Ideally, somebody would be dropped down the shaft, fall down a lot of stories, and land on the blood-red table (the altar), while the dwarven priests chant "blood for the blood god!"

Build a deadly labyrinth. Run goblins through it. Make sure none survive.

Or, do what ein suggested AND set up a system of magma pumps that can pump magma all the way to the top. Not only does this make a challenging megaproject, but also gives you magma pump pressure sufficient for making any other megaproject involving magma that you can think of!

So a giant tower going from the top of the map to the bottom with an execution shaft that doubles as a magmafall with a bauxite altar at the bottom in the middle of a gladiator arena? I'm definitely building this next time I embark somewhere with magma.

Giant tower with magmafall it is. I might modify it so I can pour magma out a side if I get invaded. Depends if I can get it working in the first place.

New question, do all insane friendlies get caught by cage traps or is it only the berserk ones?

EDIT: 89 z-levels. This is going to take a while.

Make a giant "Peeing Boy" statue, WITH WATERWORKS.

or some other masive statue/fountain..  it won't be as dwarfy, though.

It gives a whole new meaning to the sentence: "It burns when I pee."

I have completely thought about making a large urinating dwarf statue.  Plumbing layout is the first thing that comes to mind when I see or read about giant dwarf statue megaprojects.

I tend to think of it like a flamethrower dwarf, with the flamethrower fuel tank (magma/water reservoir) attached the back of the dwarf.  You can use the inside of the dwarf statue too if you aren't already using it for rooms.

I got this one. Make a model of a dragon that breathes magma and has a water-spitting cobra wrapped around its torso.

Set the "splashdown" point as your entrance to the trade depot.  Show those obnoxious elves what you REALLY think of them.
