Going up?

Maybe there should be some incentive for creating a tower that stretches to the heavens. it sounds like lunacy, I'm sure, but I think a lot more people would do it if there was something good waiting for them on the other side.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.

That said, it might be nice if dwarves like admiring massive constructions, as a symbol of dwarven ingenuity and tenacity.

My guards need something better to do than make my nobles happy with hugs and justice.

How would you figure out what's a massive construction vs. what isn't? Designate zone: megaproject?

They could look at z and x/y connectivity for constructed blocks. Odds are 100,000 bars of soap connected to each other in one way or another present some kind of epic structure.

But then I'd have to line the walls of all my megamoats with blocks for it to qualify.

Could also go by the number of constructed tiles within line of sight(or just within a certain XxYxZ distance).
