Fisher outpost.

Embark on a coast.  Feed every dwarf with only fish. Your dwarfs must also drink only fisher berry wine.
Perhaps build a dock with boats and a lighthouse. Build a fish farm too

[GreatWyrmGold]

Embark on an empty human fort. Improve its design.

Or, make sure every dwarf drinks only sunshine and eats only *dwarven syrup roasts* or masterwork ones.

[Root Infinity]

Embark on a seasonally frozen sea (Use something like EmbarkAnywhere). Pump up magma and make a fort out of the ocean.

Build the Tristram Cathedral from Diablo, dig out all the levels etc. and then dig out the HFS.

Goal is to fight all the clowns back using only a handful of soldiers.


Bonus points for placing an almost-dead guy near the Cathedral entrance for authenticity, and for getting various creatures inside it to roam around for more variety.

[Montague]

The Crusader's Pit Stop.

Build a fort with the end goal of equipping, outfitting, supplying and training of 200 soldiers. When migrant come in, they are immediately recruited into the military.

Once you've outfitted your army, dump all excess low-value items and abandon the fort.

Screw fancy- Im just surviving!
I have a gobbo siege, a Illitihid siege, and a centuar siege.
The Gobbo's and Cent's are fighting the Ill's, and losing.
My dorf's are massing north of them, getting ready to charge blindly into 3 sieges.

This thread isnt only for megaprojects. you can post a screenshot of your fortress for others to get influence and learn new small ideas.

Well, crap! If I'd known this thread existed, I wouldn't have made a seperate one for this idea I had for a fort based off The Thief and The Cobbler. Essentially, the idea would be to have a "golden city" with a palace designed like an Escher print out in a desert, some kind of tower made of hands & idol nearby, and possibly a mountain range as well. There also would need to be 3 golden balls (the movie's McGuffin) to go atop another tower within the fort proper, as well as some kind of massive war machine that could be destroyed by hitting one key support. You know, for maximum !!FUN!!.

I'm not quite sure how to properly stock this fort, at least pet-wise, since large herds of elephants (which appear late in the movie) are currently difficult to keep as tame ones fed without having massive pasture areas and it'd kill the fps. Crocodiles, though, would be easy keep since they don't need to eat, as would the vultures. Another problem would be finding the gold, but there's always traders from the mountain home.

National heros.

Name one or two of your dwarfs by your national heroes/characters. For example have your king or military commander be Lionheart, or Canute the great, or Alexander the great, or Napoleon etc

Do everything to make them match their real life counterparts, Ludvig the 16th for the king with very expensive taste

When they die, build a temple for their memorial
