Sorry for the question. I am only a casual player of Dwarf Fortress, but I really like to admire what other players managed to achieve.
A long time ago, i spent lot of time browsing DF Map Archive, looking for fortress that I did like, and I remember it as a heavily time consuming activity.
It's two years or so that I'm not doing that, and I would like to have my life easier this time.
This is the kind of fortress that I like to see
http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-4733-staffrare
with screenshot of its evolution, comments about the logic behind the decisions, attention to details, and so on...
but I also like any kind of particular fortress or notable achievement.
Is there somewhere a selection of somekind? Or a division in categories of the fortress on DF Map Archive?
Is there also a place where I could find together all the DF graphic novels like Bronzemurder and Oilfurnace?
Thanks for the attention.

Check out the DF Community Games and Stories subforum, especially the stickied Hall of Legends thread.

Flarechannel and Copperblazes are two of my favorite maps and, I dare say, some of the most impressive ever made.

Well if COD players all have ADHD, and Minecrafters autism, then what do DF players all have?
