Umomcerol, megaproject?
« on: October 18, 2010, 09:25:41 pm »

Ok, so last time I attempted a megaproject (long time ago), a lone yeti broke through the floodgate system, flooding the lower sectors of the tower, and killed most of the population. So after purging all of my corrupted df folders, I decided to start over and this time with a whole new focus, what that is yet, I don't know. I need some ideas as to what to strive for. The only Idea I really have is a giant obsidian cast tower, but the time required to build the cast and the pump stack instantly turns that idea off. Heres an overseer image of the map, which is very very flat and very dense, and full of trees:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Prospector results:

Which means this region is very rich in resources, with a ample supply of flux, iron, and coal/fuel, as well as gems, platinum, gold, silver, copper, and almost every other resource. With a region like this it makes almost any project possible. Any ideas? I can upload region if requested.

2 giant arms on either side of your entrance giving those damn elves the middle finger. Bonus points for making it entirely out of wood.

Pave the map in black bronze. How big is the map? 4x4? If so, you'll need 9216 gold/silver (easily gotten) and 18432 copper (also easy).

Start smelting tetrahedrite.

I'll definitely be using a ton of obsidian and Steel in the creation of this fortress. Black bronze you say? Interesting...

Am I the only one who thinks that "Umomcerol" sounds like some kind of new pharmaceutical product?

(Maybe you could do something with that concept; maybe build a huge hospital with gold chains in all the traction benches or something. I dunno...)

Fixed. Given the dwarven OCD, ADHD and "patient not resting" cancellations, majority of their pharmaceutical products is sedatives, and everything else is antidepressants.
