<<Spoiler Warning>> ((If you've been purposely avoiding information on the new update to keep things a surprise, steer clear of this thread.))

With Toadys massive new update drawing ever nearer, I couldn't help but wonder what plans my fellow DF players have?

I'm thinking of trying to find a sufficiently large cavern, and build an exact replica of a Human town out of Mushroom wood underground. If I'm lucky I might even manage to build it right under the city it's replicating.

Sure it's possible I could do this even now, but it wouldn't seem nearly as much fun.

[RavingManiac]

Replace the underground rivers with underground magma rivers.

[Kidiri]

Have a heart attack because of the sheer awesomeness.

[kalida99]

Create a squad of knife wielding ambushers and give the gobbos a taste of their own medicine.

I'm going to just build a fortress, and make 1 megaproject every 5 years. There's just so much that can be done with all the extra stuff being added, I can't just choose one thing.

And extra z levels? Maybe I'll make a fort that uses vertical corridors, that could be interesting.

[Ubern00b]

I am trying to design a new fortress layout to include hospital, operation theater, roman style bath and a crap ton of other things.
 
I know already my mason squad wont be 80% of the population anymore. Thankgod

[S.K. Ren]

I'm going to recreate Chel'el'sussoloth from Drowtales.

[ed boy]

I'm going to build a giant statue about 100 z levels tall that spews magma.

[smjjames]

I'm thinking of embarking in the middle of the desert for the sheer heck of it (possibly with a river within the embark).

Honestly I'm not really sure what I'm going to do, most likely experiement with a whole bunch of stuff and I'll definetly have fun exploring the caverns.

[SimRobert2001]

i'm going to play a bit, then recreate the skaven from Warhammer Fantasy, as well as add a few creatures and poisons from the warhammer FRP.

[Cruxador]

On the playing front, I am going to make a city carved into the walls of an existing cavern, with plenty of bridges. Other than that, I'll see what comes up.

On the modding front, I'm going to give Goblins some castes, and make them more akin to Warhammer Fantasy's Greenskins.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I will create a statue of Cthulhu.  And then obsidian-cast the world up to the top of it.

[Skid]

I'm going to build a gigantic aboveground fortress centred around a battle arena.  In the very middle I will dig shafts straight down into the bowels of the earth, dug by miners of questionable life expectancy. Whatever is released will come raging up into the central arena where I will keep them trapped until the goblins come.  These too will be lured into the central arena and entertaining battle will ensue while my entire fortress watches from the grand stands. (Kept there by the new burrows and alert systems.)

I'll have to work magma, pressure plates, draw bridges, spikes traps, and kittens into the design somewhere, of course.

[Karik]

On the topic of updates:  Where is the best thread to read about what stuff we will be able to do come the new update?

But most likely I will be building a massive fortress as per usual, and I know there will be military updates so I am going to basically turn it into a war academy of sorts.

It's not really a thread, but this link holds everything known for the next update.
