Road Thieving
« on: June 15, 2009, 12:50:12 am »

I am sure people know about this, but I just wanted to post for people that didn't...

I just started a fortress dedicated to destroying an elven bridge, and while deconstructing the road nearby, I realized it gives you blocks! You could build a good sized castle off of the blocks alone!! I think this is hilarious.

That's pretty awesome.
The world feature roads are pretty huge too.

I suggest you build a castle on the road from the blocks you stole from the road.  Show how much contempt dwarves have for the other races.

With [SLOW_LEARNER], dwarves probably don't sit around and talk anymore. They just stand in the same corner altogether, staring at each other, sticking their bearded lips out trying to make sounds. And giggling when someone actually says a whole word.

Same material as the road. Wait you mean, this isn't common knowledge?? I thought I was just living under a non-absorbent shammy! Yeah I discovered a feature! :D

I've done this before.

Don't they use single tile floors, not actual road constructions? (ie: There's a fuckload of blocks, not a few dozen.)

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.
Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

I find temples worth destroying more, once had a goblin temple made out of horn silver. Needless to say my greatest export was ☼horn silver mugs☼

Yeah, the roads are made of thousands of floor tiles, not the road construction, so you're gonna have your work cut out.

Metal blocks can be melted, I daresay.

Christ, are you dwarves or are you elves? If you think Hell has too many demons, then you kill them till the population reaches an acceptable number.

I doubt it.
I don't think they actually claim ownership of anything on the Fortress map.

Deconstruct the road, and replace it with a huge wall that stops anyone from getting past.  See if you've messed up the world map afterwards.

No, but the roofs might fall on you.

I'm curious what the barely conscious ai wrote about.
Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

They don't notice if you <d>ump every stitch of clothing on their bodies, you think they're going to notice if you tear down the building around them?
