Seriously, at least try the embark you have planned to see if the game lets you do it at all. Just get the right number of layers and a flat area, embark as large as you are planning, and see if the computer will keep up. If it won't, now is the time to adjust your plans.

It's looking playable.

• 16x14 embark
• brook
• one cavern
• 17 z-levels
• Phoebus' Graphic Set

= 110 FPS at start

World gen was giving me a hard time with [CAVERN_LAYER_COUNT:0], I probably have to mod dwarves to not be dependend on underground crops so I can get rid of the final cavern layer. And playing ASCII would be decisive, but I'm not sure I wanna do that.

It's...so dwarfy...

Please periodically update on progress-if you succeed, you may just have achieved
                    the record of  biggest, most time consuming fortress ever!

I can't say useless, as it proves the viability of using DF to simulate reality, especially
  when Toady reaches 1.0. I wouldn't be surprised to see this being used by
Architects and engineers in the far-off future...

Please hold your praise, I haven't even started yet. Though I agree with you, the game enabling me to reenact the way of live of an old civilization, and its untertaking in building a mega project, emphasizes the abilities of DF.

Still it would be interesting to follow you!

Sieges could be a problem, with an above ground fortress you're not going to be able to channel the invaders until you build the moat and even then trolls and certain mounts won't have a problem with that.

However it should be impressive as hell and with a moat that size most aquatic mounts will drown their goblin riders by the time they cross
