Towerclouted went on for 36 years before it was overtaken by lag and general boredom (tens of thousands of stones I wanted to destroy but didn't have the patience), not to mention its lack of certain special features (no chasm/pit, no underground river)

Wasprag ran for over 44 years and was home to several megaprojects (23 Z-level hollow clear glass pyramid filled with magma, twin magmafalls, big constructed battlements and drop tower above the entrance, small shrine built out of soap, dwarfputer-operated obsidian factory) before I got tired of it as well.

Finally, Rhymestakes ran for 25 years until I decided it was complete - a 16 Z-level obsidian tower 47 squares in diameter, held up by a single steel support, complete with sealed water and magma inlets connected solely by bridges and floodgates.

All of those fortresses spent a significant amount of time with temperature turned off, though less so with Wasprag (what with its entrance defenses being mostly magma-based).

23 years now, took a slice at 20. Inkpartner

My first king.

Apexwhips made it 12 years. Almost got the king before a swarm of ambushes dropped my fps to 2. Didn't have the heart (or patience) to wait for them to show up, especially since I kept having kids snatched if I put my military out there. Ambushes are the number one killer of forts in my experience, Toady needs to update their detection code so they don't consume 10 fps per ambush party.

Most my forts die out at around the 3-5 year mark. Longest I've ever managed to go was 11 years.  Was the first and only of my forts that ever was attacked by a magabeast, was fun :3
