Scorchlancers, an Elven Town - 215 Early Spring by miko

Map Description:

A town where invaders are eaten. Not really. I just "modded" the dwarves to be elves (or vice versa) for... no reason. So they (the elves) were able to dig and stuff. Features mostly uniform buildings and an underground storage. With aqueduct, temple and noble domiciles. The usual, only above ground.

Point of Interest: The fascinating levers

As you see, levers in every dormitory. Quality of all rooms, royal. Reason for this are not artifact mechanism, but sheer number. Every lever was linked multiple times to multiple cages, resulting in the levers filled to the brim with mechanisms. Makes 'em happy. These elves (and the common dwarf) just love the look of an infinite mess of gears and stuff. Also, an exploit. I haven't got the nerve to create 100 rooms. Maybe later, to fill the city. Most likely only in theory. - miko

That's a monstrous great hole you've got there. ^^

What's your average FPS with that fort/town?

Submitted by: miko - 2008-10-17 to 215 Early Spring

With not to much workload around 125, with all them (100+) running and hauling, maybe down to 50. Since I poked the HFS recently, for the moment its even less. It was interesting to see fps dropping below 1 with that water project.

Points of Interest

Δ 22. The flying elf statue
It is, in a word, flying. Interesting bug though. It was constructed on the great water tank (you can still see the foundation) used (in theory) to fill z-1 with water. It was really huge, as was the impact on fps. The reason for putting it there was a goblin siege/ambush thing. Some bow gobs shot some of the masons during the construction of the tank walls. Didn't see that coming. So it was a memorial for the many elves (4) that died that day. Now, maybe through the spirits of the dead, it levitates there. Never forget, etc. - miko
Δ 16. Defence
The usual stuff. Crossbowelves (oddly enough), 10 of them, behind just 6 fortifications, stop every siege. They (elves) are faster than the common Urist, but i think even this number of dwarves would be enough. Also, spy cats and cage traps. The goblins can only hope to reach the cage traps to survive, for the moment. But they never do. Maybe the only real challenge is to not only abandon the weapon/stone traps, but also to not use ranged attacks. Still, i like to see bolts darkening the sky and the future of the siegers, and i'll stick with that. - miko
Δ 15. The fascinating levers
As you see, levers in every dormitory. Quality of all rooms, royal. Reason for this are not artifact mechanism, but sheer number. Every lever was linked multiple times to multiple cages, resulting in the levers filled to the brim with mechanisms. Makes 'em happy. These elves (and the common dwarf) just love the look of an infinite mess of gears and stuff. Also, an exploit. I haven't got the nerve to create 100 rooms. Maybe later, to fill the city. Most likely only in theory. - miko
Δ 14. Tower-cap forest
Elves in the mountains without a forest? No.
So i planned to completely fill the z-1 level with water and later drain it into the chasm. Some little FPS problems and i had to stick with the size at this point. A pity. - miko
