A fortress I started up as a mega project, will basically house many other mega projects with the fortress itself being the main one. I'm having fun with it so far even if the work is moving slow.

This fortress was inspired after looking at other legendary fortresses, with FlareChannel being the most prevalent. So don't be surprised if some aspects are similar to other fortress while also adding on something different or is changed in some way.

Now as to the main reason for starting the topic, I'm hoping to gather some ideas for mega projects that I can start. For instance I'm in need of an idea for a bedroom tower.

Maybe rebuild Rapunzel? I haven't really tried anything with mega projects, though I want to try building ships locked off from the outside in the sky, or a giant hive where resources are put in from the top, and the dwarf inside drops it through a hole in the floor...

You mean rebuild Rapunzel's tower with a single female dwarf at the top?

[UnrealJake]

I'm not aware of any other Rapunzels

Not sure how it would work really, just a dwarf in a locked bedroom at the top... a noble?

I'm not to familiar with Rapunzel, but an idea. I'll have to read up on it.

All I know is, her mother ate too much of the plant called Rapunzel while she was pregnant, and the witch that owned the plant took her daughter and locked her in a tower.

It was a spur of the moment thing, try recreating the Odyssey bedroom only 10x larger?

[mission0]

Would make a nice noble bedroom... hmm maybe a towercap in the middle with a masterwork towercap bed build next to it.... either that or make a small tree out of towercap blocks with a bed at the bottom. That I may have to try.

[UnrealJake]

I saw Retros giant cavern with the bedrooms in the stalactites/mites.

Or Orzammar from Dragon age origins, with the dust town for poor casteless (Haulers) and then the diamond quarters for nobles, with the castes in between.

[mission0]

the caste I've been thinking of, a good idea just not sure how to implement it.

That is not Rapunzel at all dude. Rapunzel is the lass who got sold to Rumplestiltskin by her dad, right? And she wove straw into gold?

With a name like Crestedlantern, how can you not have a giant lighthouse?

Make the top floor eniterly out of clear or crystal glass and trap some magma sea denizens or even a fire-based Titan/Forgotten Beast to use as a source of light.

[UnrealJake]

Nooo, that's someone else... I'm sure Rapunzel was the one with long hair, top of the tower...

Next you will say Snow White put on a glass slipper that fitted!

But now I really wanna try Orzammar...

[Lokii]

This whole thread is making want to make so many mega constructions... and I did just get a new copy of Grimm's fairy tales...
I'm going to play fortress mode now... >3<

And Rapunzel was the one at the top of the tower, I'm not sure if the girl in Rumpelstiltskin has a name or not.

I see a dead dorf just north of the main entrance.
