So, I get to make the next challenge, and I got something cool in mind.
The world is full of dark places, and not the good kind of underground darkness that lets Plump Helmets grow. No, this is the evil, nasty, *goblin* kind of darkness. The (good kind) of light must be brought to these places.
It's time for a religious mission!
You have been chosen by the king to bring the touch of the dwarves gods to an area of evil. To archive this you must build an icon to attract the gods attention, and what better then a giant statue?
The statue must be built out of walls and floors, and the better the material used, the better. However, so as to not take away from the glory of the statue no other buildings or stockpiles may be above ground. No trenches may be dug, unless you fill them with lava. In fact, if it's not directly related to building the statue, don't build it above ground.
Finally, pump up magma to surround the statue in magma or, better yet, have it pour out of the statue somehow.
Elves and humans are not worthy of the dwarven light. Seize all goods their caravans bring and if they sent a diplomat, kill them.
(Note: danger rooms are fine, as are traps (built underground) to defend the inside of your fortress)
Nicely done. I'm hoping to take a run at winning your challenge, time permitting. I really liked the 'kill the elves and humans' part as I'd never done that before.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I've never finished a magma pump stack either, so this is a great excuse to get that box checked off.
