By Armok that's BRILLIANT!
« on: March 24, 2010, 02:58:36 pm »

There's probably lots of these threads around here but I'm lazy so I'm starting a new one.

What's the most ridiculous Dwarvenly idea you've ever had for a mega construction?

Me: 30 story solid gold middle finger coming out of an artificial lake or an equally large iron bunny that weeps lava.

Kitten blender.   :D

Its actually a very tiny project. Very tiny pit. For very tiny kittens.

Tiny, fluffy, RAVENOUS HORDES OF BLOODTHIRSTY KITTENS.

I once tried to make magma waterfalls on either side of my fort's entrance, but I underestimated the speed at witch the pumps would spew lava... Yea I needed to dig a new entrance after that.  Although it ended badly, it did get rid of the next few sieges that showed up... and the caravans... and all the new immigrants... COME IN FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAP YOU IDIOTS!

My only use of pumps prior to that point had been to make the dwarven power generator that RAN the lava pumps, so yeah...  next time I attempt that I'm building a bigger lava reservoir... and a few more pumps down there... and actually remembering to hook up those pumps...  :-[

...a massive, golden, middle finger... to let the damn goblins who attack every merchant caravan that comes through know what I think of them.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

A glass window floored dining hall over a pit with shallow magma into which invaders are flung.

The least you could have done was throw down some booze and seasoning. Abyssal Monsters that Creatures of the Light Know Not Of aren't savages, y'know. Sharing's caring.

I'm currently working on a giant wooden barrel that I'm going to fill with magma.

I've smoothed and engraved a magma pipe.

FROM THE INSIDE.

What kind of statues are your masons making, that you think they have "maximum exposure"?

Ditto, and I raise you a self-sustaining iron fort inside the pipe, submerged in magma. With dining room waterfalls, clock and calendar with display and 40 FPS.

A fully functional aerial battleship (props and all, engine components and such, weapons, modifyable, bridge... etc.) that can run self-sustained for at least a whole dwarven season with a full crew complement independent from the source of it's build with not a single idler. Sort of.

Sorry about the shameless self-plug there.

Tolkien had a great secret: The dwarves of Moria didn't dig too deep. A prominent dwarf with lots of friends started tantruming and, well, you figure out what happened next.

No, no, no no no no.

He has a point.

Compare Uwe Boll to your normal dwarf.

C'mon, do it.

Moron.
Arrogant.
Horrible fuck-up.
German.
Nazi gold.

THIS GUY'S A DWARF.

THIS GUY COULD DO IT.

HE COULD PERFECTLY REPRESENT THE INSANITY AND COMEDY OF DF.

Hmm... I'm having the idea to build my entire fortress on the side of a mountain, terrace style. ooh and maybe have waterfalls running down the terraces with bridges in the mist. Time to build my very own Machu Pichu!

First thing that came to mind was Pichu the Pokemon.

As in, a mountain carved out to look like a Pichu.

With a bunch of dwarves living in it and magma pouring out of its mouth.
