It's all cause I had to ride my bike past a graveyard after work every night two summers ago and started the Zombie preparredness thread.

[Devath]

Just a note, but could you post a link to the store in the OP? Or something like that?

Also, you guys totally need to spend on making a fort for the next round.

All assuming diagonal fortifications don't exist. If they do, knock off 15 for each wall in the designs and replace with diagonal fortifications.

[Archangel]

You're putting quite a bit of thought into this aren't you?

[Devath]

Well, not really. Making things up as I go along and following the rules of small-scale DF fortress entrances. I mean honestly, don't you build your aboveground entrances somewhat like this?

[Archangel]

I haven't really played DF actually.

[Devath]

Really?

[Archangel]

Really. I've done one get-the-hang-of-it fort and that's it. How do you make maps and how do you upload them?

[Devath]

say what?

[RAM]

Which maps do you mean?

I have long thought that fortifications could be a good idea, but as a melee type they really aren't my thing though I am willing to pitch in towards the costs.

[Vlynndar]

say what?

What.

...What?

[Archangel]

Which maps do you mean?

Sorry, should have said. DF maps.

[Devath]

Go to the DF forums. The answers shall be enshrined there.

[RAM]

This is a link to a program used to format files for uploading, it also has a description of how to upload a file.

[Luke_Prowler]

Well, jeez, I think I have to raise the cost for Fortifications. They where cheep because zombies could knock them down easier than walls, but after seeing that...

[Devath]

Walls have this innate disadvantage of creating a blind spot that can't be shot at. As a result, the best defenses only use them when absolutely necessary.
