what to do...
« on: August 17, 2009, 03:13:52 pm »

hmmmm, what to do...   i have a fortress that i have modded the world so im at war with everyone and my civ died off in worldgen, so i get no caravans at all and no migrants, leaving children being the only way to get more population.

ive had the fort running successfully for 10 years now and the kids are starting to grow up now...   clever defenses and military stations have prevented me from losing my fortress.

now im running into a problem...    joblessness...     if im not building things for trade, what should i be doing?   just mine forever?    train them all as military?

Construct a massive throne to Dwarvenkind, a tribute to being the last survivors of the world as Dwarves.

As the last remaining dwarfs in the world, it is your duty to build a fortress as deep in the earth as possible, seal everyone in underneath a massive magma lake, then quietly go batshit insane and turn cannibal.

Or, I don't know, make another giant statue.  You cannot want for (mega)project ideas here.

Reenact WW2 from the german side, the death of the jews first.
Ok, that was less than funny and, while I'm not offended myself, I can see very easily why many others would be. Why would you even write that?

Only 1 thing to do - the dwarven equiv of the military-industrial complex - mega-project.  That'll spark your economy.

Pump water, but ideally magma, up to the top Z level, and make it rain (magma) onto all who approach you. They will meet their doom in the raindrops (fireballs) from the sky, a sign that Armok himself protects this last bastion of Dwarfkind.


Or, failing that, just make every single dwarf military and see how long you last. While defending outside.

I usually just make extra hands into masons and do large mega-projects.

Do you really not get any migrants?  I thought it paid no attention to what the actual state of your people was.

Actually, how could you even be at war?  Not that I doubt you, I just think its very funny that a nation that doesn't exist is at war.
