Coming back to game
« on: May 12, 2011, 06:50:47 pm »

I used to play a lot back in 40d and recently got back into playing DF. I've gotten the hang of the new things that were added (new to me, such as hospitals, burrows, new military organisation and soap being useful). I'm just trying to think, what project to pursue.

The last big thing I was trying - as proof of concept was an intercontinental magmaduct (which worked nicely might I add) http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=44638.0

However now with lava being on most maps, this isn't as heavily needed. I remember people working on spaceship style fortresses which seemed interesting. But I don't want to jump head first into something massive, any suggestions for a project for someone coming back?

Cheers,
Paul.

Utilize a very tall tower, with dropped wall sections as your primary means of defense.

Convert a cavern into a city, deep roads for caravans to exits via the underground should be a priority, as should a forgotten beast zoo.

Ah yes, caverns are new to DF2010.  I suggest you close your eyes and jump in.  It's dark, your eyes won't help you anyways.
