Amusement
« on: September 18, 2010, 07:35:18 pm »

Has anyone ever embarked on a human town and deconstructed random shit that they've built? I've deconstructed roads and bridges and stuff before, but not the actual town.  Do they attack you or something?

I know I've clear-cut an entire forest in an elf settlement before (I then pumped magma to the surface. Fucking elves) and they didn't do anything, but this might be different?

I've made a human town into a closed network once. I de-constructed a house to seal their evil ampersand lawgiver in the mead hall.

so it doesn't make them go apeshit on you?

Excuse me, I have a large human temple with magma in the bottom to collapse.

NEVER WASTE MAGMA!
Besides, that temple(wall off correctly) can function as the main hall of a fort.

I'm not even going to make a fort with it! I just want to drop the temple on their heads, then abandon.

You can undermine their keep--by which I mean steal its foundation--and kill everyone inside and they won't declare war or anything on you.

...though unfortunately human capitals are terrible for your framerate on crappy laptops, so I didn't get to finish my plan to turn the city into a magma lake.

How do I find a human capital? I have a nice laptop (6gb ddr3, i7 processor, nvidia geforce graphics card) so I think I could handle it... my fps doesn't lag too bad with 100 tiles of water falling into magma...

i7 doesnt help w/DF.  My laptop is running the second or third fastest i7 i could find from dell, 8GB RAM and I will lag occasionally.  It is because DF doesn't multi-thread :'(  If it did however, my computer would be a tiny god...

This is a useful feature..and this is DF.. so im gonna assume its bugged
That's what cages and minecart shotguns are for!  We don't need to control them.  We just need to aim them.

Anyways, this thread is now about making a magma waterfall over the only path to the trade depot

Your not playing Dwarf Fortress right if you don't see a message saying a Kitten (tame) had died in some horrible manner over and over again.

I did that to Elves. :D

Anyways, I got my magma cannon running... constant dripping magma onto a low point of my fort.  I've already holed up everything else.
