Any plans to allow surface contsruction castles ect?

not sure about anyone else but I would really love to be able to build castle / fortress that orcs could attack and you defend perhaps?

Dwarves don't live in castles, silly. :D

If you added slopes (multiple layers) to the surface, building a mountainside fortress could be possible. Would be cool!

I agree, if they put some effort into it that would be an amazing DLC offer... hell there is already a surface layer with trees n wolves.... Now let us build a mountain side castle that the orcs could attack and if they overrun it they descend into your tunnels! that be awesome!!!

Can't plant food on the surface nor do statues work above ground.
I find the surfave very unappealing in its current state. Currently I use the surface to just throw my storage pieces onto so that monsters go for somethng less important like food and the stone when they get to where my dwarves are housed up.

Yes you can grow food on the surface. On all all levels I played so far the surface was fertile ground.

you sir read my mind was it in colour ? :P

I agree it would be fun to involve the surface more. I would also like to see certain crops that will only grow on the surface and others that would grow underground. More thoughts for down the road.

I have to agree, this would be cool. I know there is a ton of dwarf stuff but what about "A Game of Humans" DLC (or elves... whatever). It could sell!

+1 to the idea of building surface projects. I play this game mostly as a minecraft-like builder, rather than a strategy, so this idea is aces with me!

Why can't you plant food up there? Farming is my primary use for the surface! You can only plant food up there on grass maps though, not in desert or in the snow, but that just makes sense.

+1 to the original post. More importantly than minecraft-style slopes though, is a higher 'ceiling' on the surface so we can build multiple stories up there. As it stands, even rooves for buildings are impossible because there is literally only 1 block of buildable space. In addition, I don't know whether ranged dwarves can currently fire their weapons diagonally downards - i.e, if you build a wall out of those wooden blocks, then added stairs, could your marksmen shoot baddies attacking the barrier?

Also, moar enemies on the surface pl0x!
