I got stuck a little bit on my last fortress and fired up a new world. I found a nifty embark site mostly flat (except for the volcano) with a happy little river http://youtu.be/TRI_l3Jdbm0
I haven't played with volcanos much and I'm thinking of starting some kind of mega project. Maybe you guys (and gals) could brainstorm and toss some ideas at me.

Drain volcano.  Build the tower from Final Fantasy 4.  Then from your impenetrable fortress flood the world with magma until some jerk in a ninja mask splashes water on your nethers every time you open your cloak.  ???  Profit.

Hmm I found magma about 15 tiles down on my current embark site, not sure how it got so close but it seems to be a similar situation, only there's no surface opening (well, the entrance to my fort is now technically the surface opening).

I say you make a killzone entrance to your fort with a drawbridge to keep baddies out and some magma-filled carts running down from the top to wreck and spray the entrance. Toady did fix the liquids spilling out, right? Can't remember. Not quite a megaproject but with enough rail anything is a megaproject.

I also have a small pond just above my entrance, so I'm thinking of building a flood-chamber.

I'm gonna just start digging and trust my dwarven ingenuity to take over. I will just copy my save folder before I start building just in case I have an epiphany.
