First idea is to protect the entrance to the fortress with '''Wash Away Shower'''. We make te entrance (3 squares wide, so wagons can enter there) somewhere at the wall of canyon, and build path from the surfcae with floors and ramps. Then we make a huge water reservoir at the levels above the floor and fill it with water from brook. When an intruder (the more intruders walk in - the more fun there would be!) enters the path - several floor hatches are opened and tons of water wash them away to the edge of canyon, and there they fall down to the ground. No intruders, no even blood stains.

Second - let's entertain our dwarves with large sculpture of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moidodyr Moidodyr]! We will make a big tall wall (kind of 10x10 sqares, or even more) and make a pixel art of Moidodyr's face - washstand, with faucet as nose and copper basin as hat, something like [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ru/1/16/Moidodyr1939.jpg this]. Thne we connect his nose to brook flow, make the sink below it and set there a floor grate. It will be a beautiful meeting hall, and wandering dwarves would occasionaly step at the grate and wash themselves.

'''Today, 10th Limestone 1053''' the Wash Away Shower was completely built and testing has begun.

This is a story about a Cave Crocodile and Tulon Olonurrïth "GearedScarred", a Weaponsmithess, who were dramatically involved into fatal relationship.<br />

Here it is:
+
'''Chapter 1.'''<br />
−
{| class="wikitable"
+
Tulon rambled at a cavern forest, looking for logs that lazy woodcutter left laying on the ground. Suddenly an unknown voice called her - "Oh, lady dwarf, it must be Providence itself that led you here! I'm an ancient dwarven prince, who has been turned into a beast by evil witch, and only the kiss of charming dwarvess can transform me back!". And a large pale cave crocodile came out of the tower-cap tree. He crawled toward her and asked politely - "Oh, will you kiss me?"<br />
−
|-
+
And Tulon replied - "WHEEEEEEEEWWW! A LIZARD!!! WHEEEEEWWW!!! DON'T COME!!! I HATE LIZARDS!!! HEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!" - and ran back toward stairs back to her safe home.<br />
−
! Top Floor
+
Crocodile roared - "Wait! Wait!! You can't just run away and left me here! WAIT, YOU!!!" - and rushed after her.<br />
−
! Top Floor, upsream
+
...<br />
−
! Floor -1
+
After several hours of chase the Crocodile finally managed to knock her down on muddy floor and said - "Well, now you have no choise but to fulfill my needs. JUST. ONE. KISS. And you can leave safely wherever you want."<br />
−
! Floor -3, Bottom of reservior
+
''Tulon'' - "NO! NO! GET AWAY! GET AWAY YOU SLIMY LIZARD!"<br />
−
! Bottom floor
+
''Crocodile'' - " NO WAY! I'll  get this damned kiss, even against your will! NOW!"<br />
 +
Tulon managed to stand up, but Crocodile jumped towards her with intention to get this kiss by force. He grab her head with his jaws... <br />
 +
...OOOOOPS... <br />
 +
The headless body of Tulon Olonurrïth slided down the muddy slope...<br />
 +
''Crocodile'' - "Oh f#$k. And what now? Centures of crawling at the darkness with only one hope, and now this imbecile riuned it all. Well, at least I hope she wasn't the only female at this hamlet above. And I hope they ain't such reptile-haters"<br />
 +
And Crocodile crawled to the narrow corridor. Suddenly a cage fell from above, locking him inside.<br />
 +
''Crocodile'' - "Oh, GREAT..."<br />
 +
'''Chapter 2.'''<br />
 +
After several hours of awaiting a dwarf peasant came.<br />
 +
''Crocodile'' - "Hey! Hey! Come here! Help me! I'm an enchanted prince, I need a woman who kiss me and transform back to dwarf form!"<br />
 +
''Peasant'' - "Talking beast?! Wow! Guys up there would be glad to see that.". He grabbed the cage and hauled it up to the quarters.<br />
 +
''Crocodile'' - "Hey! Did you hear that i say?! I'm a dwarf like you! Witch turned me into this! Damn, dwarfes grown REALLY dull, while i loafed down there."<br />
 +
...<br />
 +
''Peasant'' - "Hey! Guys! Look that i got! He is talking!"<br />
 +
''Crocodile'' - "Yes, talking, you dumbass! I'm telling you I'm dwarf, only looking like Crocodile! If a dwarf girl kiss me, I'll be dwarf again!"<br />
 +
''Bookkeeper'' - "Oh, I remember... I was a little boy and my granny took me to puppet show, and the fairytale was about a prince turned into a beast, and a girl must kiss him to turn him dwarf again..."<br />
 +
''Crocodile'' - "Oh, finally someone who shows a bit of common sence. That is exactly that happened to me! I need help!"<br />
 +
''Bookkeeper'' - "Let's put him into our meeting room, he will tell fairytales. What can be better - a nice loaf of cheese and a tale!"<br />
 +
''Crocodile'' - "OH SHI~"<br />
 +
''Bookkeeper'' - "We'll call him Theater Romance, he's always telling that stuff about kisses, sorcery, fate and that crap... I'll tell my wife to make nice silk curtain for him, ho-ho!"<br />
 +
'''Chapter 3.'''<br />
 +
Some days later<br />
 +
''Peasant'' - "Hey, that's with our Theater? He says no word other that "F#$K OFF!". Let he tell something funny - you know, dragons, knights and that crap..."<br />
 +
''Caretaker'' - "Hey, Theater! Tell us something!"<br />
 +
''Crocodile'' - "I SAID - F#$K OFF! Is it too difficult for your tiny oaken brain?!"<br />
 +
''Crowd sadly'' - "Oooohhhh...."<br />
 +
''Peasant'' - "What for we need him then? He just eats and shits, and does nothing!"<br />
 +
''Broker'' - "Guys! Take him and bring to depot. That's gonna be a brillant deal! Those merchants got planty of delicious drinks..."<br />
 +
''Crowd happily'' - "Hooray!"<br />
 +
''Crocodile'' - "FUUUUUUUUU~"<br />
 +
Crocodile breaks from his cage and runs away, and miners armed with their picks chase him all over the fortress. After a hours or rushing, beating, biting, wrestling the Crocodile falls down breathlessly.<br />
 +
''Broker'' - "Damn! Drinks!" - to the merchants packing their goods "Hey, wait a bit! We've got a lot of other cool things! Cmon, let's trade a bit more!"<br />

A Weaponsmith (she realy detests lizards) went to cave forest to take a wod log to stockpile, and got chased by cave crocodile. Finally the crocodile torn her head apart in a single charge, and got the name Stinhädâbir, "Theaterromance". Then he got caught into a cage trap. Later, when i wanted to sell him to merchants, he broke out of cage while it was hauled, and i had to draft all miners into squad to struck him down.

'''1'''. Bridge raising to south. When lowered it allows water to flow into reservoir<br />
 
−
'''2'''. Downstream drainage hole. It suposed to route water around the constructions, but the capacity was too small, so we had to build another drainage upstream. During the construction of this drainage there was an accident. On of our miners was washed away down the hole and smashed. You can see the bloodstains at the southern wall. RIP, Atuz itebotam.<br />

'''9,10'''. For not to waste a half of water destruction potential, we build raising bridge. When water drops down, the pressure plate raises bridge and blocks the waterflow to the north. So whole watermass streams to the south.<br />

The piles of remains down there will be playing the role of enemy army during the forecoming tests. Stay with us!

Tests were completed, some issues were fixed. <br />
 
−
After reservoir was filled and sink hatches were opened, single remains from edge of floor began to flow and drop down. The process ran too slowly, I think, but the more items were washed away - the faster it was.<br />
 
−
Issues that were found:<br />
 
−
1) When the bridge '''1''' uppered, a diagonal hole appears at left edge of bridge, and water from reservoir flows back to waterfall. It was patched with wall section.<br />
 
−
2) After sink hatches were closed, the bridge '''9''' stays uppered for too long, untill all water falls from the edge and pressure plate '''10''' is released. I think we need some mechanism to quickly remove water from path when all enemies are done. For example, a set of hatch hovers along all flooded path linked to the level.<br />
 
−
3) There are some squares where items stuck and cannot be washed away. Generally it's behind the corners at the path's walls. We nned to dig that corners to smooth the water flow, though it's not critical. Those who stuck there will drown eventually.<br />

'''21st Opal, 1053'''. Today we hardly saved our home from Forgotten Beast. It silently evaded out numberous cage traps, destroyed hatch hovers and rushed up the stair to our domain. Thanks to our legendary mason who managed to block the stair with floor section just in time, when the beast was roaring one floor down. I think I should reward him with fine new living quarters.<br />
 
−
As for beast, we're going to test our Project on it. We need to dig a passage from cavern and lure the beast to there.

Well, this is my page.

Projects to be made, somewhere in a future...[edit]

The harsh lands of sacrificing[edit]

Freezing location, not terrifying, so we'll get normal, not zombie yetis. Little to nothing ores. Is with sand, can be combined with Shining Warmth project

Fortress of unhappiness[edit]

Whatever location.
Fort designed to keep dwarves unhappy, by any means. But still keep fort alive. Like this:
Massive socializing. Friends with everyone! Especially those who are the most dangerous
Regular switching from cave dwellers to surface, so cave adaptation scores it's hit.
Children are wandering outside and are subjected to ambushes and snatchers
Ghosts. Never bury dead - at least before they rot to skeletons.
Miasma. Refuse stockpiles at meeting halls. Caged zombies.
Regular switching from "cats is best dwarf's friend" to "no cat's allowed'. So tantrums and swarms of vermin.
Booze and bedrooms for nobles only! And for guards.
No jail, or small jail with cages.
Score the maximum number of macabre and fell mood artifacts

Shining Warmth[edit]

Freezing location, with sand.
Aboveground fort made of steel/iron and glass/gem windows.
Magma used to heat whole place: magma layer between each living floor, a ring of magma around each floor between windows. Moses effects everywhere. Bonus points for imps, magma crabs and magma men swimming in-between heaters
Smoke generator at the topmost castle tower - ever-burning wooden artifact or something

Mechanists Temple[edit]

Design all fortress' machinery to be ruled from two control rooms, each lever is doubled for both rooms.
First room contains intelligent core - dwarf (vampire is the best)
Second room remains empty till gremlin is spotted. Then gremlin lured/captured and released into that room and sealed forever.
Many in-fortress traps, such as spikes, atom smashers, magma geizers, flooding rooms, controlled from control rooms, to ensure proper number of sacrifices.
Many outer trap defences also, to sacrifice siegers/traders/migrants.

Mods Projects[edit]

Elven Retreat[edit]

Playing as elves. Not sure if everything is possible

No mining at all. Clay-wood constructions only
Woodcutters use flutes and other musical instruments to fell tree - instead of cutting tree they convice it to depression and death with their songs.
Taming and training dangerous beasts, maybe transforming them into semi-intelligent creatures that can form squads and follow orders.
Special plants that produce ores and gems, in small quantitites. Metalworks are permited.
Some enchantnemts that make wooden swords better - transform their material into somthing useful

"Weaponsmith and Cave Crocodile", a poem by Urist McShakeSpear. Summary[edit]
