[Scruga]

I'm against cuz of undead whales walking across the land. But if you guys really want to i can't deny it of course

[Samus1111111]

I vote yes, but it is not absolutely necesary, however I think it will make it a lot more fun

[filiusenox]

Dude...if you dont mind me saying youll be doomed if you get a undead ocean becuase youll be stuck in a pincer movement.So it  would be fun in the HFS way...

[Demonic Spoon]

So we're going with normal ocean then? If so I have a nice site.

[filiusenox]

Does it have alot of easily accessible wood that can be chopped down in the first spring?

[Demonic Spoon]

Haven't actually embarked yet but it says woodland...nevermind, it seems I accidentally deleted that world along with some other one's I generated.

[filiusenox]

Well you need to bring stone for mechnasims.Sorry about being bossy if you think i am but these things...they rip through your fortress's like a tauntram spiral.

A quick question.

Does the no-digging rule prevent the participants from building and using an obsidian factory without digging into the pregenerated soil?

P. S. I assume glassworking is fair game as well, am I right?

[Demonic Spoon]

You're hoping for an open air magma pipe?

[Lav]

Most I have seen were open air. Why should I abandon hope? :-)

[Scruga]

yes on all your questions and a little bit of temporary digging should be allowed i think

[Demonic Spoon]

Okay found a heavily forested area in a evil ocean plus magma pipe. Should I embark at the area, save and upload for Scruga to play?

[Samus1111111]

are we allowed to dig for rocks and ores, or is it strictly no digging?

[Demonic Spoon]

We're planning to make a WOODEN lighthouse out on the ocean, what are you going to use those stones and ores for?

[Lav]

yes on all your questions and a little bit of temporary digging should be allowed i think

Then I'm in. :-)

And just in case it's ok, I want a Stonecrafter/Gemsetter dwarf (he can also do gemcutting and possibly glassworking and trading, the rest is situational). From most of my games I have concluded that such a dwarf alone is enough to provide trade goods for the entire fortress while the remaining dwarves are working on something big.

The general idea is: produce obsidian, carve it into crafts, produce raw glass, cut it into gems, encrust goods with glass, rinse, repeat. Magma pipe + water = infinite source of obsidian, magma pipe + sand = infinite source of gems. Extra bonus: high-quality obsidian swords for the military.
