Legendary dining rooms and other such things.
« on: January 19, 2011, 05:01:01 am »

One kind of has to wonder.

In one of my fortresses, there's a dining room. This dining room was smoothed and engraved by my legendary engraver (and some other taffer). Now a legendary engraver, I could get my head around.

But when I checked a dorf's thoughts, it said he'd recently eaten in a LEGENDARY dining room.

"Aye, th' fortress o' Heartoar. They say th'r was a dinin' room dere...o' such splendor tha' it'd reduce ye te tears! Masterful engravings lined th' walls! Th' food was endless!"

"An' th' tables?"

"Oh, those fuckin' TABLES...*weeps gently into beard*"

That's nothing, consider bedrooms "like a personal palace" when they are 2x2, 2x3 at the very most. I think it's even possible to have "personal palaces" that are 1x2.  ;D

Yeah, dwarves are pretty easy to please. However, they can also be pretty quick to piss off too, so there's a balance for you.

What's funny is that I think that the worth of the room is not divided by size, so if you stick a hundred crappy tables in a huge space and call it all a dining room, the combined value of those crap tables is considered the same worth as a single artifact table in the center.

Does unsmoothed floor count as having any value?
Because in theory you could get a legendary room just by making it very large.

it does, and it's based on the material it's carved from, I believe. Regular ol' stone is the least, ores and gems will yield far more valuable rooms. Assuming you have the absolute cheapest stone, and your dining room is max size, I wonder what the total value would be?

What could be more "personal" than a 1x2 bedroom?  A 1x1?  Sounds like a "personal" palace to me.

The largest you can designate a room is 31x31.

Wrong. I have 42x20 dining room. I think the limit is 30 to every side from the table\bed\what have you. So if you have table in the corner, max size will indeed be 31x31, but if you place table in the center, max size will be 61x61. Numbers may be wrong here, but you get the idea.

Please change the fortress name from "Heartoars" to "Barbedgear" in your heart, because I got them mixed up. This is the problem with having fortresses on two separate computers.
