Actually, with enough Z space, you can fit one windmill into every single tile.  The blade tiles can overlap with neighboring center tiles without stopping them.  IE, you can "stairstep" windmills and they'll all function, even with heavy overlap.  Creative architecture and a horrid maze of axles can get you some massive power output.

And force goblins to run through it, getting mangled by large spoked wheels.

Windmills are confirmed to do no damage.

That is rather depressing.

I'm not at all surprised someone's taken the time to discover this


Oh, and my latest insult to the underworld has been made:

Now you just need tea, and then Hell will be fully submissive.

Well, the roulette of moods has landed on a 0 - A planter in the hospital is on his way to find someplace he can make something.  It'll take him a while though - he's paralyzed from the waist down (and was scheduled to have it fixed) and missing a hand.

All the best artifacts come from the heavily injured.

In this case expect an amazing earring.

Uh-oh... he's sitting in the craftshop now muttering about stuff he needs that I definitely cant get him in time.  If he goes beserk and manages to actually kill someone, I'll be very surprised.

Urist McPlanter cancels Heal Grievous Wounds: Taken by strange mood.

I think "In Hell" is the new "In Space" meme.

You know I'm not sure if that would be considered an insult or not. I mean after all Everything's Worse with Bees. (Don't click the link, you'll never escape!! :P)

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

I think you'll all be happy to know that at the moment there are roughly 45 ghosts infesting the fortress and a large majority of them are lurking around Hell.  Hell really IS other dwarves, I guess *rimshot*


Anyone got any ideas on how else I can insult Hell aside from flooring it over and living in it/filling it with magma?  Before anyone says "fill it with water", I plan to fill in a few of the deeper spots to give the dwarves a lake or two once the flooring is done.  It's going to be pleasant lakeside country by the time I'm done with Hell...

Oh, don't worry.  my dwarfyness has already apparently extended to TVTropes.  Also; whoever did that should probably update it for the latest insults to the underworld.

Have it dumped next to him, if he can't walk to go get it.

Alright.


The bridge will raise to the north and be activated by that lever.  What do you think it'd take to get a gabbro boulder into that Glowing Pit?  Par 4?

edit:  That planter went insane.  He's crawling around babbling now and making his way down into Hell.  I've got five dorfbucks that says he crawls into a Glowing Pit.
