Fortify the mountain!

Build a bigger-volume magma cannon!

Build a massive jail for stopping the inevitable tantrum spiral.

Construct the city in the cavern!

Start a new megaproject.

Hail Discordia!(fnord)

Yes, I was under the impression that there was a underground water source because nahkh stated that he was searching for a site with one, I have to agree that it would be nice, but as long as no dwarves get injured water isn't really neccesary.

until ELITE bow/crossbowmen show up    i hate those guys so much but by that time i think a magma defense might be up by that time. unless theres no elitebow/crossbowmen on orcs civ screen

If the next rulers are watchful with the drawbridges the only thing any orcs will be able to hurt will be traders. The access drawbridges between the fortress and and the Trade Depot should be raised at all times, the only reason I have them lowered is because I was busy smoothing everything.

And speaking of next rulers, where art thou ToonyMan?

[nahkh]

Yeah I was but genning a terrifying map with magma and extra requirements is nontrivial. Especially if you're trying to keep it down to 3x3.

I'm glad you guys seem to want to keep this one.
I'll edit some water on the map if that's acceptable to you.
I guess I'll pregen some more maps anyway, just in case.

Leaving work now.
Love, Nahkh.

[Demonic Spoon]

Don't edit in water, cheating is not the Sparkgear way!

How often does it rain on that map? If it rains a lot then one square of pond may be all you need if you make a reservoir connected to it.

Just don't channel out the pool tile.

Also, make sure the reservoir is underground.

just need to build a wall around it then so we can avoid it turning to obsidian if anyone pulls a boatmurdered

And make the wall go all the way to the top of the map.

Just in case.

IMPORTANT i'm using DD right now and gabbro is MAGMASAFE so make lots of mechs and replace the bridges with it if they aren't already made of gabbro

ignore it

Copy-pasted from the readme of the mod DD uses for magma-safe rocks.

"M" means that melting point data has been added.
"B" means that boiling point data has been added.
"H" means that specific heat has been added.
"!" means that this rock is now magma-safe.
A rock without any indicator has not been updated, but has been determined to not be magma-safe.

I didn't even realize gabbro wasn't magma-safe until after you said that...

[nahkh]

Hmm. I thought orthoclase was supposed to be magmasafe.
At least that's what I used with SG3


Ok ok, no water then. Someone should design a water-collector then.
I seem to recall the map to be temperate, so maybe it gets the occasional rain.

I don't think underground water ever evaporates, so even occasional rain should be good enough.

And I know exactly how to go about making a rain collector, but it's not my turn.

[skaltum]

hey nahkh this is kinda of topic but in the dark grim future of SG5 how about an area with high rainfall? going to be hard to find i suppose due to aquifers but it's possible

[Kamrusepas]

If ToonyMan doesnt show up soon could I start my turn early?

Where Art Thou Toonyman...
