[Underdark] Community Compilation
« on: May 22, 2010, 01:13:50 am »
I just had this brilliant idea. No, I'm not kidding, I'm being a humble dwarf. What if we expanded on the underworld? What if we created an entirely new experience? What if we all gave it a little something, packed it tightly, and made one giant compilation? Thats right - a community-made compilation.

The theme of this compilation is the Underworld, and the caverns that compose it. Everything should relate to it one way or another, be it fauna, flore, ore, buildings or civilizations. We're looking for creepy creatures, cave dwellers,

If you're looking to contribute, post here or send me a PM with the mod's name, description, and raws. It will be added to compilation after review, and you will be credited. Feel free, however, to toss random ideas in the thread. Remember to post the body, tissue and material templates needed too

You forgot a detail: Dorfs get webbed in GCS webs and trigger traps. Right now we have some 12 caged dwarves, including you.

My contributions to the project will be
Wyrms: A draconic predator with flight and dragonbreath. Travels in pack.
Deep Sun Berries: A comestible berries growing on good-aligned caverns. May provide a light source.
Fel GCS: A stronger variant of the GCS.
Deep Gnomes: Default creatures modified to build a civilisation in the underworld.

My ideas:
I don't know if this is possible via raws, but here goes.

I want man-build features built underground, similar to the demonic fortress.
I want to see caverns half-filled in magma, often with a natural rock bridge to pass by.
Dark Fortress should have a natural link to the underworld. We should have small goblins communities in them too.
And a world generation optimised for the best underworld experience. We're talking about 5 layers here.

There's endless creatures from DnD I wouldn't mind seeing. For simplicities sake, any evil creature works.

But there those creature that are like stalactites where they drop and fall on people. The various globs of goo and what not. If vermin were deadly, it'd be cool to see swarms of deadly vermin begin to engulf dwarfs.

I wish we had more choice of what the monsters could do... mainly spells and things of the like. Want to see beholders casting all kinds of spells.

If I wasn't so tired I could go on. I like the idea, good luck. =-)

-edit-

I have to add with the addition of Sarveshs post... Fissures. Giant cracks in the ground. Not just those dainty chasms we had.

Please remember that DF's world, while fantastic, is not magical. A floating creature that shoots confuse and desintegrate beams from its eyes wouldn't just fit right.

Think of the project as an expansion.

I am pretty sure that is only because of the lack of a good magic system.

Well - we got fireballs, firebreath, webs and poisonous breath now. What else you need?

I would settle for runes.

Anyways, would you like some Beefmo-style dark gnome civ graphics I am working on for my mod? I am not done but I would be happy to share them once I am finished.

We'll compare with my deep gnomes. I bet they'll end the same. Honestly, I'd rather have gnomes be the neutral race.

A couple ideas for the project
1) World Generation - Hidden Entrances. The only way to reach the underworld is either to build a fortress, or enter a cave. To help adventurers enter the underworld, we should have the world generate small (3x3 to 5x5) stairways that leads into the first layer.
2) World Generation - Goblins & Modified Evil Fortress. Goblins fortresses should be allowed entrances to the underworld. Make them adapt to it, allow them to wander near the fortress entrance. This will improve variety and difficulty of the Underworld. Heck, Goblins  could be the potential evil race of the underworld too.
3) Cave Trolls & Cie
There's a goldmine of modding into trolls. We could build many species, like Cave Trolls, Moss Trolls, Ice Trolls, and such.
-Cave Trolls : Rock-hard skin
-Moss Trolls : Skin covered in moss.
-Ice Trolls : In Freezing Biomes.

And also

But Dwarves and Deep Gnomes are closer than two parallel lines that look like a singe parallel line, even from up close!


Also what colour do you want the Gnomes to be, because I am leaning towards grey. They base gnome I have made looks okay but I think I need to re-do his neck area.

In the raws I'll use the mountain gnomes colors, minus the pink/peach colors. So usually it'll be around tanned/brown, and I guess I'll add grey as a possible skin color.

This would be a cool addition to Deon's work when it'd be done. As a side note, I personally ask that you make more evil stuff and not a bunch of traders... Humans and Elfs and Dwarfs were enough for me, but with Deon's additions, it feels like I'm cheating.

I'm assuming the dark elves are similar to drow? If not, add drow. If so, good job, I like my eeeeevil underground elves.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.
