I like organic. There can be sections that are carefully planned and designed like the dining hall or whatever, but I like the idea of a complex warren of dwarf tunnels than a prefab construction. Plus what with running into veins and other underground features, your layout will almost always get disrupted if you're anal about it.

In the fortress of Cogalek, (Boothumor) the main hallways were the excavated veins of coal, and the bedrooms and workshops were added along the edges and in the middle of the vein's curve.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.
