^ I don't use any other programs in DF. Handling it old-school. Or at least before I knew there were anything of the sort.



And add this to the list of ideas.


Prisoners + cages + lever room that I suggested. If you want, you could make that like the main entryway to the dungeon

[Rumrusher]

prisoners and any cage creatures will escape once you return heard rumors that megabeasts bypass this and will stay caged.
Though from my travels in adventure mode for a nice touch to the place see if you could befriend a minotaur and take it back to your dungeon.
so that adventurers who come in will be greeted by lovely voices telling them "he/she will grind their bones to mill" bonus points for finding out a way to place them near the kitchen and giving them a chef hat.

[TheMasterTurtle]

Rumrusher, that would be amazing.

[Rumrusher]

I know I'm on "minotaur at fort", I just need to find someone who made a chef hat mod.

[Elisebambi]

I already have...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Big, overengineered, magma-filled, communal tomb which you see at the entrance (in the form of a huge magma-reservoir beside the maw of said volcano).  A lever pull from a control room (which can see aformentioned big pit of lava) opens a floodgate that was preventing a reactor-powered (and windmill started) screw pump from draining the reservoir out a lil itty bitty hole hidden very close to the HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE VOLCANO. (I goofed and channeled.   Happy mistake though because the lava flowing down the side of the mountain, beneath my obsidian bridge---the only entrance to the dungeon (which sometimes has magma on it, and sometimes doesn't)-- but I digress).   Reservoir, when drained reveals dozens of peasant tombs, some filled with magma, some just sealed up and under magma's protection.  Goodies in crypts? maybe.  WHO KNOWS!?.

And

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A beeeeeeeeeeautiful, solid marble hallway (~50-75 tiles long, two z levels.  PURE rough hewn marble.  (will be bringing along an engraver and training him up, and having him etch the horrible, horrible history of the dungeon... well, BESIDES THE POINT!).

and

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

traps, puzzles, rewards, challenges, etc are in the works.  Basic dungeon crawler amenities ARE being provided.  Every few levels, I will have a little spiral staircase with a lever inside that unlocks every level above it, as well as the way to the SUPER AMAZING CHEST HIGH LEAP OF QUICK EXIT, so.   (also, planning on having little ratholes with supplies stashed inside. as well as saferooms, etc.)

Spoiler tags are fun aren't they?

I /was not/ aware that sealed doors(/floodgates) prevented monsters from being moved around on return--I also did not know that heavy materials shifted less. (No wonder socks always end up EVERYWHERE!).

OH

SPOILER
There are no 'pull a lever and the roof crushes you' gimmicks.   Sure there are things like, maybe, pull a lever, and a flood gate opens, revealing a ton of magma which will ensure you hastily either try to retreat (and probably get a mouthful of lava), or shuffle down the pathway filled with all sorts of goodies and obstacles towards an exit/escape route. (nothing like vertical bars standing between you and not meeting a fiery, fiery death--assuming you make a wrong turn and don't correct your path quickly enough, rite?)



what is this DFlair and stuff I hear about?

[freeformschooler]

what is this DFlair and stuff I hear about?

DFLair I believe is part of the DFHack utility set. It marks a location as a lair, like night creature lairs, so that items in there stay right where they are and don't scatter. In your case it would be useful to use before you've finished the fort.

Anyway, good work with this! Looking forward to the final version.

[Elisebambi]

Final version? LLLLLLLAAAAAAAWL.


Also...

Would anyone consider it cheating if for the sake of awesome I made some edits to some monstars, like, say.. [PET_DOMESTIC][PET][PET_VALUE:1] on things like... dragons, spirits of fire, goblins, etc?.... I'm liking not cheating ('cheating') to make this, b---uu----t~   Generally evil dungeons are made by people who .... are friends with evil monstars, am i rite?   


Edit:
No work has been done on it tonight.

Someone, who I was showing my dungeon via skype, DISTACTED ME FOR HOURS. AND HOURS. AND HOURS. AND HOURS...AND STILL IS..

[Rumrusher]

You might want to see if you could hit up local caves for night creatures(don't ask for a quest just ask for surroundings that way you won't risk instant hate on befriending).

[Elisebambi]

... I can catch monstars in adv, and put them in my dungeon? HMM

[Rumrusher]

... I can catch monstars in adv, and put them in my dungeon? HMM

well you can taming creatures is as easy as adding the adventurer to the fort.
which is just changing the civ number over to the one the fort is running on.
The issue I can see is that capturing these beast needs trail and error on the player part to see if they won't just go murdering every one or attacking you if you befriend them.

[Elisebambi]

which is just changing the civ number over to the one the fort is running on.

....what? o_o

[Rumrusher]

using runesmith to go into the creature's misc tab and changing the civ number over to the civ number the main fort members(be it the adventurer or the dwarves that live there), I could make a command in dfusion that changes the civ number for you though it might need testing.

....what? o_o

Oh sorry here a more detail of what I said.

[100killer9]

This is an interesting save. In the southwestern human civ, I'm able to report the death of someone I don't remember being told to kill. Spreading the news says it's a rumor from a far away land. I go into the fort and see a demon lawgiver. Right next to the rotting corpse of the guy I could report the death of.

and you want to add the demon lawgiver to your dungeon?
