I shall rule the world. I have almost finished writing my vehicle megathread and assuming the mechanics in there will be used...

• Tanks, using ballistae/steam pressure. Dwarf and coal power.
• Rolling floating amphibious fortress.
• Underwater and undermagma submarines.
• Dwarf maglev and metro system that gets traders to the mountainhomes. Also a magma pipe that can "underpipe" settlements of elves goblins and kobolds (humans are OK, they only get the water pipe).

And so on. Keep watching for it.

Mega-Project: Sybian

[NFossil]

Self-sufficient walking fort that launches smaller walking forts that launch ballista bolts, pump magma, airdrop legendary dwarven fighters and war animals.

All this stuff isn't even ready yet and everyone already has plans for it's use?


I love this forum so damn much.

Also, I will create the Labyrinth. Because embarking on goblins will just make things FUN!

Painstakingly produce and engrave tons of blocks until I can build a computer to play chess with each moving block as a piece.

Hmmm, an army of peasents piloting 5-7z tall dorf-mechs. good till you actually get to the fight.

CASTLE HETERODYNE! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE![/squee]

Sorry. But yes, I would. I'll develop a steampunk AI to work it too.

Having read large parts of that webcomic, I second this motion.

I believe sparks to be related to DF dwarves. try to disagree with me, look from the nobility to the lowly peasents who are sparks. thats dwarf written all over them.

Well, Strange Moods are awfully similar to a spark's first creation, just generally with less death involved. And after that event they're better than ever at what they do.

As for me, retractable trading floor. When merchants come, I uncover the floor and raise the trade depot/goods stockpiles up above ground. Retract it once the traders are unloading, then raise it again as they prepare to leave.

Combine this with putting an elevator under your trade depot to allow safe entry

Moving fortress parts.

My inner engineer needs a towel.

[IpunchFaces]

This begs the question whether the elevators would have weight limits. Like for example, the materials in which you build the mechanisms would determine the amount of stress that it could take. Quality could also have an effect of this, too.

So if you want a lift which could launch a whole tribe of offending gobbos into the stratosphere, you would need either a lot of poor quality mechanisms or a few high quality ones.

[Vehudur]

I was thinking more a magma proof lift triggered by a pressure plate (and a lever to reset it) that would lower the gobbos down into a magma pit.

[Kobold Troubadour]

Eventually someone will make a Dwarf-Head Fortress entrance where it opens it mouth and it's gates are it's gold plated, spike filled teeth. Then they'll make magma vomit out of it just cuz'...

Then we'll see it with a visualizer in all it's glory. Like a crazy twisted Sphinx only more fan-pants-dropping-sock-flinging-tastic.

Dwarfineering awaits the glorious day when we can smash entire goblin armies into the ceiling, use a series of moving walls to force megabeasts into the arena, create mining lifts and makeshift conveyor belts, and submerge a dwarven submarine.
