Boats!
« on: February 28, 2010, 06:32:16 pm »

Am i the only one who thinks this is a cool thing to have? Fishing boats that could fish out of ocean embarks and big lakes? Fisherdwarfs could use the ?dockworkshops? a nice 3 tile graphic could spawn and path to the nearest fishies?

or has this been discussed before?

Been discussed innumeral times. Boats and other multi-tile structures won't be dealt with for quite a while. No idea when though.

Can't wait to find the dinghies listed in legends mode alongside the wagons.

You fool! If you go out into the water, you're just making it easier for the fish to feed on their favorite prey: Dwarf beards.
Nay sir, if boats are added to the game, I will use them only to dispose of goblins. A true dwarf should be under the mountain (or in a large and overly elaborate palace), not a leaky, creaky boat!

How about sailing boats down your underground river?  Having an artifact stockpile only accessible by booby-trapped dwarf boats?

How about taking Adamantine boats out on magma?  :p

I was going to say that it'd be cool to be able to take boats across oceans to wage war.  Then I realized, tunneling under the ocean would be cooler.
