Zero caverns, no bottom layer, no magma. You'll have like, 2 z-levels to dig down before you hit the "bottom" z-level.

Also, with this world gen, dwarves have no underground crops/ products at all. It'd be a challenge just to make a functional settlement like this.

[Lord Inquisitor]

currently at a major river with 2 water falls from streams in a corner. 1 stream stays flowing in winter, FPS hit from the freezing and sudden unfreezing of all water is brutal.
Dwarf live in the sides of the river bank with glass windows. The surface of the river is slowly, very slowly getting covered in green glass. Future plans is to fill the river canyon up with dwarf apartments and posible work on a obsinian factory. Or find a more central located major river to have it more visually appealing.
Do dwarfs on a glass floor see monsters below and can they see the dwarf above?

Dwarfs can't see through floors. Material doesn't matter.
If you want your dwarfs to see things beneath them, you could replace your floors with grates.

[Pukako]

Does this mean you  can freely kill  merchants of your own civ?

You -could-, as long as you don't use military to do it. You'll be in for a lot of fun if you does.

Yeah. You need to use cave-ins, wild beasts, GLORIOUS MAGMA, drowning traps, but if you make one your dwarves directly kill a member of your civilization excluding justice, you're in for some fun.

what will happen?

My understanding is that in this version, all your animals turn hostile too.  Makes for great entertainment...
The "murderers" take a loyalty hit from Dwarves in your fort who see it, the hit is too your CIV Loyalty, and they will be attacked by Dwarves loyal to your CIV, those attackers take a loyalty hit to your FORT Loyalty, and they will be attacked by Dwarves Loyal to your fort... it quickly degenerates into a Fort wide civil insurrection.

[Zhaine]

Build 2 Forts,

The first a huge many leveled maze like citadel, catacombs, etc. Foribid all buildings inside (or seal the entrance) once complete

The second will be your fort, no excavation past bottom caverns.

Release the Clowns into the first, beat the clowns back to where they belong.

Bonus: No traps in either fort.

Double Bonus: Release HFS into both forts, then abandon and bring back 7 elite soldiers to take back your forts.

[dwarfhoplite]

Make a fortress where you destroy massive goblin sieges to bits by releasing a cage full of wild Giant Badgers

[GreatWyrmGold]

Fortress of the mushroom people. Dwarfs living in cast obsidian mushrooms.

Bonus: Mod your civ to be plump helmet men!

Now i came up with this cool defence plan. Make your entrance like this in my rough picture and have your dwarves harvest gobbos with style.
Not sure if it works but it could be quite seducing

What if you moved the ballistas to the sides, and put in drops to save the ballista bolts like this?

Code: [Select]

    XXX                      XXXXX
    X_#################### #XX|-\
    X_#                    #  <=<
 /-|X_# ####################_X|-/
 >=>  #                    #_X
 \-|X_#################### #_X|-\
    X_#                    #  <=<
    X_# ####################XX|-/

X = wall
# = fortification
  = empty ground
_ = channel
/-|
>=> = ballista
\-|
Just make sure that the ballista operators won't hit each other...

Basic: Build a Dyson Sphere.  In other words, build a floor across the entire sky.

Dwarfy: Release HFS to the surface, and when they're all up there, drop the sky on them.

I was planning something like this as a self-destruct mechanism, when its apparent the fortress will fall. Pull lever in case of shtf.

If you have thin floors, it would pancake-effect nearly every part of the fortress, leaving it a depopulated, deep, jagged hole in the ground. Maybe top off the sky with magma, it'd basically be a dwarven nuclear bomb.

[dwarfhoplite]

Raise massive livestock and gather as many different species as possible. The more grass they eat, the better. Have a bigger but more flat embark to help save fps.

Bonus:Then defend your fortress only by releasing cages of war animals. Let your bloodthirsty gigantic war pandas tear your enemies apart

Bonus: Have your dwarves eat only meat.

Bonus:Have an altar where you sacrifice hundreds of animals at once

[dwarfhoplite]

two fortresses

Build two fortresses which of whom both have their own citizens and military. Both are completely self sufficent
-make them equal in population
-Have their armies kill goblins together and/ or see which of them will stand for longest
