I love this thing - utterly amazing.

I'd stop there, but now there is a little dorf what lives in me brain. He asks why there were no smoothers/engravers. Tatlarin (The Castle) looks like there was some start to that, so a happy thought there.

Also, unfair that the plans indicate they can use half-z levels. Or rooms are 2-3 z levels high. The second one sound more dwrfy.

As for lighting? Magma gives a good glow. (A good question, though. I don't notice any of the blackening associated with torches, but it's only a few pictures. Maybe they used that 'Arab-battery' or whatnot that they played with on Mythbusters - think early battery ala the potato thing you did in school if you've no idea - and, umm, well I dunno about what the power would go to. Dwarven Edison asks you to "Suck really hard on that glass bowl, place thread inside, place cap, and now dunk bulb, (and head,) in magma to seal." [Overly complicated instructions removed for human reading. We all know there are many more keys to press, dorfs to look after, and coffins to build.])

The cat, Anom, approves of Scamps' methods. She admires fine scars on her human's body. She purrs in a method most disturbing. She thinks Scamps needs to train the human better. She rolls on the floor in a luxurious pile of catnip. She attacks her human lightly.

Torches would probably suffocate everybody, i'm thinking oil lamps, the light is feeble as hell but after a few hours underground your eyes adjust well enough for most purposes.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

They were forced to abandon when a FB made out of steel and a Goblin siege happened at the same time?
