i vote we settle somewhere invaders cant go. and then try to build a flying fortress.
Sounds cool, except why no invaders?

I think that would require some kind of airship machinery, but a Castle in the Sky supported by only a few thin pillars would be cool.  We can call the city "Zalem" and throw our trash and empty bottles on siegers.
And rat corpses. And kittens.

We should include farms and clay up there.

Could always convert a normal mountaintop into a flying fortress. Build in the first few Z layers and then mine out a layer or two under it. Could even have a hollow support with stairs in the middle to access the mines below.

Use a support and keep trolls and tantrumers away.

Sounds like a plan!

How would you manage mining? Unless you have a mine located right under your fortress and have steps to the the mine right there. There's also the problem of how carvans are going to be handled. Unless you also plan on having huge ramps lead up to the fortress.

The fortress is probably going to need expansion as well. Even with spartan arrangements the population will increase to the point where it won't be efficient to house all of them without going down a Z level, and we will run out of Z levels in the fortress. You can make them sleep on the floor but they might tantrum spiral if enough awful things happen.

And considering that this is drunk fortress, things will end up worse than normal.

Mines and the trade depot will be under the floating mountaintop, if you must; I'd seal off the suspended hilltop and make sure I had clay.

I agree.
As long as we have access to more stone, we can build up/out to expand the fortress as population grows.

Hospital can be built in the "slums below" also - for water access and any dwarves who fall.

I might not be drunk again until next week, lots to do irl right now.  Anyone want to get this started?

No, no. The good hospital should be built high up, on a series of platforms over a big pit, with wells leading from there to the cavern lakes. And each room will be rigged to collapse into the caverns in case of euthanasia.
The bad hospital would be two beds, a table, and a traction bench around a well. Bright side, no one will link your bedroom lever to the front gate and send it into the abyss in a drunken feverishness.

To this day the elven warrior castes hunt the enemies of nature for the purpouse of bringing back slain intelligent beings for consumption by their leaders and generals, for the good of nature and the survival of elvenkind.

And that is the story of how napalm was invented.
