[edit] Criticism

Don't be shy about editing; especially if you see something silly :) VengefulDonut 19:45, 13 August 2008 (EDT)

I'm usually only shy about it when I suspect I may myself write something silly; I will, however, take your words as encouragement. --Zombiejustice 10:40, 16 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] A Question from ZombieJustice

I am just curious: do you all prefer a vertically-oriented fortress, or a horizontally-oriented one? Why? --Zombiejustice 21:22, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

I generally prefer a horizontally oriented fortress, because dwarves have an annoying habit of tripping and falling. With the exception of a few off-lying military towers, most of my fortress is contained inside of three stories. --Cypress 19:57, 26 August 2008 (EDT)

Personally, while I understand the logic of a vertical fortress, and even had one spectacularly successful one that had booze barrels on every floor around the staircase, I still end up making my layouts predominantly horizontal. I'm pretty sure that at least part of that is because of the psychological factor when dealing with noise - it's easier to space a fortress out laterally so that the Dwarves' bedrooms are far away from the workshops, than it is to do the same vertically. However, duplicating a higher floor with the same layout on a lower floor gives all the expandability you'd ever need. --Nekojin 20:13, 26 August 2008 (EDT)
