Here`s my fort:http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1864
I`ll write some comments soon.
Make those suckers pay. Big time.
The TrapWell, i decided to dig an huge hole right into the ground. I then decided to "built" (You will see why i put the " there if you look at it...
some towers in it; There my dwarves should live.
Upon pulling the lever, those towers should crash down one after the other.. Into Magma. Then water should flow in, encasing the remnants in obsidian. At the end, all that remains should have been an artificial lake.
Well, here`s the first problem: Magma flows slooooooooow. Experiments to pump the magma faster resulted in roasted dwarves. So my magma sea is pretty empty.. So like 30 Dwarves will survive the crash.
However those dwarves will have major injuries and someone
will turn Berserk. So in the end, they
will die anyway.
To make the apocalypse even funnier i decided to release some goblins upon pulling the lever. I wanted to release hundreds, yet i had only one one squad siege and no megabeast- So there are only a few goblins.
However, my fortress should, under normal circumstances, be quite protected. When i raise the bridge no one can enter and my dwarves are able to survive forever. They have everything they need: Water, soil, trees...
And my dwarves are worshipping the most badass deity ever: Mezum Thrownstrong
She takes the form of a rotting female dwarf and is associated with birth, marriage, pregnancy, creation, death, rebirth, war and fortresses.
Well, what else to say? I hated that fortress. I dearly hated it. Why? Some examples:
1. The return of the useless possessed haulers- Somehow the game missed my many "dabbling" masons and decided to pick some skilless hauler most of the time.
2. Magma flows too slow and should be pressurized. *grml*
At least 3 dwarves died in the vain attempt to pump magma..
3. Didn`t focus that much on creating wealth. The main reason: My legendary craftsdwarf died before i could order him to churn out crafts. Reason? Read 4.
4. So i decided to set up a jail- The cells are[should be] suspended over the magma and every criminal is free to leave anytime.. By jumping down.
Anyway, i usually don`t bother with justice and therefore i`m not
that experienced with it. I decided to make one of my miners sheriff.
He was quite eager to prove himself, sneaked up to my sleeping craftsdwarf, yelled "FACE PUNISHMENT, SCUM! YOU FAILED TO CREATE EARRINGS AND THEREFORE I CONDEMN YOU TO DEATH!" and butchered him with his pickaxe. I decided that he wasn`t the right one for the job after he killed two other guys.
5. One Ambush, one little siege, nothing else of interest.
6. No Ore, no gems. At least there was Microline <3.
