So, 1st prototype for the wall and a tower:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I will maybe switch spruce and oak with oak and birch, as they're more readily available at Dale. Opinions on the design?

I also measured the approximate size of the future dome, and it should be 88*108 (length*width). This means a height of at least 44 blocks if we want a dome as a half-sphere. Or we could go for a more flatter design. I'll prototype something tonight.

I'm bringing the Silk pick back now, I only managed to grab enough diamond for a single run of the smelter so I might leave buying another pick for later.
Edit: It seems I can't use the smelter because it's been privately locked.....

Oops. Fixing that now.

Just to give an idea of the size of the monster dome prototype:

The dome is 44 blocks high, and the supporting walls are 11 blocks high.

Now to find an idea to fill the missing ceiling.

I once suggested to MarcAFK to have apartments hanging from the ceiling, Undergrotto style.

Same as here.

I, for one, like it.

With bastion blocks, we can make buildings suspended from the ceiling that cannot be pillar jumped to.

I really like how that looks, My dome would have been a little smaller and with flaming netherrack around the edge similar to where you have the magma, but that suits the fort architecture better.
I still think hanging stuff from the cealing might detract from the scale of the dome, but then again the thing will be too big to actually see unless you have some kind of walkway going through it.

I ("Cynrh") may be popping in and out infrequently, so if you see me on snitches or checking stuff out I am a friendly (I was in that initial wave of DF'rs that joined Goldminer).  I'll probably be hanging out in Old Dumathoin where my old home was, and maybe beautifying that cavern with the sagging bridges. 

[MarcAFK]

I just snagged half a stack of netherrack, I think we're in some serious need of more fire around here.
Welcome back Cynrh, if you're stuff's already been looted I apologize, the storeroom is pretty well stocked though you shoudld be able to take what you need, if you lost anything valuable I'll see you get reimbursed.

And here's the prototype for the ceiling, using glowstone for lighting and netherrack bricks for contrast:

I wanted to use magma for lighting, but there were too much magma drops everywhere. It was raining magma.

It's not a real dome, per se, as the base is rectangular, so it looks a bit weird from an external point of view:
