A tower to the sky!

A ridiculously complex trapped entrance!

A ginormous constructed somethingorother!

A monstrous terraforming project!

An ostentatious display of golden wealth!

A giant building in the shape of a Toad, in honour of ToadyOne!

Candy everything!

Exclamation point! (My idea will be posted below)

Nice aesthetics of the place, I must say, after looking at the save.  I almost was outraged when I found my dwarf because all I could see was elf, but then I checked his full profession name and I approve.

Edit: Also, this fortress shows me how little I know about finding my way around places.  I almost couldn't find the surface fortified area of the fort, then finally found the up stairs that led to it.  Once again, I must complement you on the aesthetics of the underground.

Edit 2: And I still can't figure out how people get in and out.  whelp.

Edit 3:  FOUND IT! and please ignore my rambling

[WoobMonkey]

Save received.  Looking forward to expanding on your work, puutuulion!

[FireCrazy]

Hmm, I guess there isn't a miner, which is fine. So I am a magma craftsman now!

[puutuulion]

With your high marks in three crafting skills, you are a Masterwork Magma Crafter

[WoobMonkey]

Well, played for a bit, but had to scum it.  Everything was going well, until digging out the tile for magma flow to the foundry.

Puutuulion - why u take a break right after digging the magma channel?  Especially when you don't bother moving out of the way first?  We can't afford to lose your pick!

<le sigh>

Time to spend another 3 hours re-designating everything...

[puutuulion]

Unlucky coincidence.  You might be able to one-step the magma breach then assign me to a burrow  as soon as the tile is dug. 

[WoobMonkey]

Yeah, coulda, shoulda, didn't.  Thing is, the method of breaching I use has always been safe - as long as the miner doesn't just stand in place, waiting to die.  Oh well.

[4maskwolf]

Just in case, you may want to save beforehand.

Save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8174


Mostly uneventful year; we did, however, lose a child to a snatcher.

Added a few bridges and levers - the levers are marked with notes.  Waiting for the magma to fill under the foundry; you may wish to engineer a way to speed it up.

If you squint a little at the dig just north of the forges, you'll see a familiar figure striking the Earth!

Expanded the bedrooms down another 3 z-levels; it's still not enough rooms, but with only one miner, it's the best I could manage.

Stockpiles have been consolidated into a QSP, just South of the foundry.

The depot is now over the caldera; the bridges leading to it are hooked up to the levers nearby.

We've been seeing plenty of snatchers and kobold thieves - chances are the ambushes will begin soon.

There were a few artifacts made - if you read the descriptions of them, you'll find out something... disturbing about our King.

Apologies for the brevity of the update; I've been rather under the weather this weekend.

4maskwolf - you're up!  Hopefully, enough of the groundwork has been laid out for you to get as creative as you'd like with the defenses.

[4maskwolf]

Picked up the save, currently working on a magma death weapon.

[Dolwin]

Its a shame that I didnt make that statue out of Peahen bone.  That would have been a fitting tribute.  Good job on the fort so far, looking forward to seeing more

[4maskwolf]

Okay, why won't the dwarfs move the spiked wooden balls to the weapon stockpile?

[WoobMonkey]

Where did you put the stockpile?  'Cause I didn't have a stockpile for just weapons set up...

[4maskwolf]

I put in in a place that is easily accessible. It's there for the minecart shotgun.

[WoobMonkey]

Did you link it to be fed from the main QSP?
