Nice.

And you can't eat them, either, sadly. Even though it'd make sieges so much more fun; dwarves lining the walls, drooling and carrying sharp knives and forks, ready for the upcoming meals.

Great fort! Lots of cool ideas implemented.  Your slum idea is pretty creative, it turned out well. So, if you collapse an unmined sand tile, it'll survive as sand where it lands?

Very nice. I'm still quite a ways away from getting mine done, but steady progress so far. Trying to finish the absurdly large power plant now...

Thanks, everyone :)

Yep! As far as I can tell, when you cause a cavein, the floor where everything falls becomes the same type as whatever fell on it. If there's multiple layers falling, it will take whatever the highest thing is.

I've used a similar method to collapse a huge soil area underground, and then make a tree farm out of it.

 When I first saw the towers, I started to scroll up madly in fear you had created a fortress on towers suspended over a magma lake, as I had planned for a different time. I'm glad to know one of my dreams has not bee done before I had a chance for my own.

 But very nice fortress. Now you just need to suspend it all from a single pillar...

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Hmmm... A chance to crush someone's dreams?...

Nah, I'd only ever do it if i could get a spot with a nice small Valley i could flood with magma...

You see, booze is a parasite. It lives off dwarves and compels them to dig into the ground so as to create massive defences to protect it's self. It really shouldn't be called dwarf fortress, Booze fortress would make much more sense.
