Give me ideas on what you want to happen like challenges which I must complete or constraints to make it harder
-
Pardon my stupidity, but what is that exactly?
-
Humans - Living Large and Standing Tall
Pretend you're a filthy above-ground dwelling human.
Build a town wall.
Only hovels and farms outside the town walls.
House your dwarves in small town homes
5-10 dwarves per house (they had pretty big families back in the day)
Upstairs bedrooms, small dining room, maybe a single level basement.
House your workshops according to profession, not convenience.
Build warehouses for stockpiles, and set guards outside them.
Create a keep, with its own wall, barracks, treasury, etc.
House your nobles within the keep.
Create a market square.
Create a main street from the town wall to the market square and/or keep. Well-paved blocks, statues and decorative shubbery are a must.
No underground connections between different areas.
For obtaining stone, metal, etc. a mine may be built, but must have separate entrance from other buildings. It can be outside the fortress, but must not connect to the interior, or vice versa.
If you create a side hill mine, only carve large (at least 2 tiles) tunnels, and create shaft to the surface to allow air circulation.
Or better than that, create an open pit mine / quarry, with ramps to access lower floors.
BONUS: Miniproject: Build a large, multiple-z-level fountain complete with decorations.
BONUS: Miniproject: Human Inn, containing your only booze stockpile and should be party-oriented.
BONUS: Miniproject: Farm simulation, complete with crops and free-range livestock, etc.
BOUNS: Miniproject: Have a series of canals for transport.
BONUS: Easy Play: Embark on top of a Human Town.
BONUS: Don't use any dwarven physics,ex.atom smashers, perpetual motion devices.
BONUS: Advanced Play: Modify the raws and actually use humans to make the fort.
MEGABONUS: Build your entire fortress as one huge arcology.
MEGADWARFBONUS: Build your City in a giant, artificial cave. (or the caverns, if you can't manage that)
[edit]"Humans"
Make your dwarves pretend to be an ordinary, albeit short human village, to disguise the secret diggings below. Prepare to launch an invasion on the unsuspecting Big Folk.
Embark as close to the human towns as possible.
Construct a "manor house" to house your mayor and broker, with a stone-walled ground level containing office, dining room and kitchens, wood-block walls and windows above for the mayor's bedroom, and a large cellar with a discreetly concealed entrance to the Secret Fortress.
Construct a walled village including a token number of shacks, barns and workshops, a mill and a blacksmiths' for that authentic touch.
Surround the village with large fields, growing typical human crops.
While all this is going on, excavate an extensive fortress underground, with a focus on a well-trained militia. If the map permits, build a secret training area for your army, perhaps hidden in the top of a large hill.
Trade only raw crops to the human and elven caravans, in exchange for the minor needs of a human village.
Lure the goblins underground before meeting them in battle - best to hide the evidence, you understand.
[edit]Luddite
Shun technology and contraptions. Who can really trust them, with all those gremlins running around? This may be challenging, as it forbids easy isolation/defense from attacks, all traps and wells. Irrigation is reduced to solid elbow grease and maybe a bucket or two. This challenge may be even harder combined with another challenge.
No mechanics or mechanisms
No machines
BONUS: Hey, wait, aren't crossbows machinelike? -
Mini there is a thing such as google.
-
ew humans
-
Filthy elven lies!
Well the Human challenge is quite interesting. -
If you don't do this I'll ddos chetter.tk :(
-
Chetter.tk is down anyway :P
-
Well f---. It was up like a week ago.
-
Alright, so I'm going to do an aboveground village. No migrants, no caravans. Massive number of megabeasts. I'll be focusing on dwarves not forts. Sound good?
-
Yes sounds good(Yes this is one of my accounts)
-
Genned the world, only 1 goblin fortress alive.
-
Don't let the goblins f--- you.
-
I'll be the only site so they won't f--- anyone else
-
Found a location, joyous wilds forest. To add 1 easy thing...
