khazad and mountains

[Mithrus]

It seems at some point dwarves can move thru mountians (go figure I didn't think to try). This got me thinking, doesnt it make sense then that dwarves should be able to build in mountains, much akin to Malakim making deserts usable and Doviello making tundra usable?

I agree - every other terrain type is used in a bonus way in one form or another.

Can't the Khazad build mountain shafts next to peaks?

Edit: Ignore.

They can in RoM, but not in "vanilla" AFAIK.

Do what?


What's RoM btw?

Rise of Mania, M@ni@c´s mod for Fall from Heaven II.

What's this about shafts next to mountains though?

 

[Silverkiss]

Im on the void about that too... loki1232 must be mixing up the games or something...

 

[Love]

Maybe they can build a cave shaft inside the mountains that works like road?

 

[Silverkiss]

But as far as I know that isn´t ingame. At least not in Public 1.16h

 

[loki1232]

Oh my bad. It was an idea we thought would work for them, building a superproductive mine next to a mountain that symbolized their mountain mining but doesn't make their workers able to traverse mountains.

Yeah, I thought it would be interesting if dwarves HAVE to build in mountains and if they don't they act like the settlements of the Kuriotates civilization.

Why not cities?

 

[Oldfrt]

to keep in with game mechanics & to even things out (so that other nations are able to pillage/etc), why not have an ability that allows dwarves to terraform mountains (ie converts them to hills), sort of like the equivilant of vitalize.

This way they can gain the benefit of utilising the tiles, but it also allows other civs to pillage improvements placed on them etc.

tot: Can you do anything to make grassland into plains/desert? Scorch (I'm still 0.15) only does plains -> desert.

Scorth + Vitalize...

scortch only works on plains.

Time to slap myself around the head I think...
