I am trying to make the Dwarftopia wiki challenge (http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Challenges#Dwarftopia), and I am having some troubles.

I can't figure out how to design the fortress to do this. I am not great at designing forts, so this is to be expected. How should I design a horrifying dystopia where the workers eke out a living at the surface and the elite have the time of their lives?

Well, first make a burrow on the surface where all the laborer are going to be assigned.

Then dig down to the first cavern, and there you'll have your elite quarter: build individual houses for your elite, out of expensive material and trying to respect your elite's wishes: if one of then like stars, steel and dogs, build a star-shaped houses with dogs chained at each corner..

Finally, build a Restaurant, with a shaft leading from your kitchen on the surface to the stockpile, and mass-dump expensive drinks and legendary dragon roast.

OK! Thanks.

Maybe I could make an lift that brings the food and such down.

No, you have to float it across a magma lake to the cavern they live in.

You could make a series of retracting bridges with a timer to get the stuff down slowly. I don't think you can make an up lift tough.

Build a room, directly above a booze stockpile. Place the room at the bottom of a pit to the surface. Flood beneath room with magma. Booze explodes, shockwave raises lift to surface.

[Sheb]

I don't think bozze really explode at all, and I'm sure there is no shockwave.

It doesn't? But I'm not surprised at no shockwave. To the DF Suggestions Board!

Actually, there is an argument going on about whether booze explode or it just boil, creating cloud of burning booze steam.
