Hello fellow, more skilled, fortress makers! I pondered whether or not to make this, and I made the wrong choice to do so! Any hows, I found a sheer drop chasm which splits into several other directions. It touches the bottom of the world itself. I was wondering if this would interest anyone. Being the new player I am I don't know how to get world gen data, so telling we would be helpful.

And of course pictures(taken in adventurer mode, thanks visual fortress)





PS. It's right next to a dwarf fortress, but sharing is caring!

People like to use 'em for stone disposal in fortress mode.

Well then this isn't special at all

Sorry bout' that gang

Haha, not at all, it's nice to see some enthusiasm around here.  It's been a while since we've had folks who weren't over-acquainted with the workings of DF.

Chasms are fun, but they were better in previous versions.  These days, you might find a giant bat or cave swallow or something which will interest you, everything else just stays put on these tiny little ledges.

However...  If you happen to find some webbing, STAY THE HELL AWAY.  Run as fast as your little legs will carry you, otherwise you'll come face-to-face with the chosen avatar of death upon this mortal plane.


But seriously though...  Stay away from webs.

It depends on what the webs are. If they don't have the word 'giant' in it, you're fine.

Yeah exactly. I wiki searched until I could run a fort correctly and now it gets boring because I know everything (well, not "everything").

And dies before you get anywhere near it, if you're a slow player. Thank goodness for DC...

I was going to make a mod that swapped out all the chasm critters for new stuff that could fly.  It was supposed to be part of a full-scale mod that would make the rest of the world a little more inhospitable and savage, but not like some of these mods that are strictly for the difficulty.  This was going to be done with flavor.

I put it off for a long time, and now the new version is coming out so...   I think I'll just wait and mod the next version to suit my needs.  Of course, terrain features are going to get revamped, so the "all-flying chasm critters" patrol won't exactly be relevant anymore.  I still think it's an interesting way of getting around it though.


And I'm still going to introduce the "Dragonfly"...   Oh yes indeedy.

I think he means swarms of flies that are also dragons. 

[Kagus]

Uhh...  Not quite.  It'll be a bug.  A big bug.  Smaller than a dwarf, but still big for a bug.  Kinda wimpy too.

But it'll have a special ability that'll make it extra-special-fun.

[DRAGONFIRE_BREATH], no?

Like the Might & Magic 9 ones? God those were annoying.

[Kagus]

I realize now the wisdom in just saying "wait for the mod"...


But yes, an oversized bug that has been enchanted/mutated by the wild forces of the world to mimic dragonfire.  Relatively rare, but you only need one to keep you on your toes.  A quick thwomp with a good mace will most likely crush it, but getting close enough to do so might be problematic.

Everything gets more fun with fire.
