Fort Building
« on: July 13, 2010, 12:51:46 pm »
I've thought of a fairly obvious way to create a huge fort with little trouble: embark with nothing but miners, 7 picks, and food, and set them all to digging. when they die, reclaim. wash rinse repeat until you're ready to actually let a group of seven survive.

if you don't mind re-designating every time and having items scattered everywhere, yeah that works. Although 7 miners with nothing but food should be able to to it first try unless it's REALLY big.

DF Players never truly leave.  They just abandon the fortress for a few years and then reclaim.

Nothing a massive dwarf-constructed flood won't fix.
