Expansion Ideas
« on: March 22, 2010, 03:45:23 pm »
Well I've built the entrance to a above ground fortress but now I don't know how to expand it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So any Ideas?

I'd build something grandiose behind the entrance.

That or you could do something boring like add another floor to the top and use it as a barracks with fortifications for your marksdwarfs, or an open air statue garden.

Add pillars on all sides with statues to act as totem poles. Cause magma to flow down two waterways alongside the staircase to create the effect of an ancient mayan temple. Alternatively use caged elves instead of statues and regularly chuck them into the magma.

You could always build a pharos (ie. lighthouse) on it.  In blatant disregard for the fact that it's almost certainly nowhere near the sea, at that.

A giant effing sphere filled with sweatshops cranking out stone mugs stained with the tears of babies.

They'll be a hit.

A catery.
Is that a cattery, as in a place to breed and butcher cats, or a catery, as in a place for caterers? Or even a coterie, as in a noble's quarter? Personally, I rather like No.1.

Aren't the first two options the same thing?

Add a giant tank of magma on the top, with the ability to dump it on the entrance. Wait for the next wave of migrants.

Well really, if you can't be an insane Dwarven dictator hellbent on genociding Mermaids for their precious bones in a video game, where CAN you?

Expand underground. What sort of a dwarf wants to have a fortress above ground anyway?
