So, I need ideas.
« on: July 26, 2009, 08:03:00 am »
I got a nice location here, the elephants aren't too much of a bother, and the view is nice, but there's so many possibilities that I can't decide.

here's the map of what I got so far. (POI's don't seem toe be working)

sadly, I found shortly after uploading this that my intended method of damming the river doesn't work, as fortifying the walls on that edge simply lets in more water.

That is a beautiful river. I vote a series of buildings actually built out of the sides of the cliff faces surrounding the river, with long bridges criss-crossing.

And 'express elevators' for dwarves too impatient to walk that distance. :D

There is an engraving of three dwarves in a dining room. The third dwarf is a soaper.

BTW, I predict someone is going to soon want the seed for that map.

Hey, any chance you can share the seed to that map?

(And I'd build into the side of the river as well, similar to what Foxbyte describes.)

Does the river separate continents?
If it does I have a few ideas...

That sounds like some first class misinformation, right there.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

just paste that onto the end of your world_gen.txt

the site I chose is in the north-west corner of the map. there's a massive river flowing there, but there's sadly mo magma spots touching it. :(

and no, the river does not separate continents completely, though it does make quite a split.

also, this is not my own find, I got it from another thread, I forget the name.
