Been reading this over the last couple of days, very impressive. My helm comes off to you sir.

What's next, I wonder? I can't see anything short of an internal uprising or uncontrolled husk outbreak bringing this magnificent nation down.

[kewlslice]

Damn, is that Armok Vision? It looks dope. This is one of the greatest forts I've ever seen! 

[SuperSumo]

I made an account just to say how awesome this read was/is. I check this page daily at work as part of my routine now and I need an update, pretty please!

[Sethatos]

Thanks for the interest! I have to do updates when I think there is story to tell though. It will be soon as I’m approaching 400 years in the fortress, but there’s considerable downtime in between, so stay tuned!

[Paxiecrunchle]

The only reason I am surprised is that sethaththos has not conquered the world yet.

Cave Dragons spawn in the third cavern layer, and not very often so you have to be patient/lucky to get a breeding pair. New creatures will also spawn only after the previous group of creatures has left or been killed or cage trapped. So if you have 8 crundles roaming around in your third cavern layer I recommend killing them so something else will spawn. Then you just have to get lucky at that point. Training them is pretty easy, just throw them in a pasture/training zone and assign trainers. They'll train up to maximum pretty fast, but they have to be constantly re trained as they never become tamed.

I suggest, as a fitting end, to release the demon horde onto the surface. Preferably after walling off the inhabited areas of your fort.

1. That would involve a large demon caging operation beforehand, because the initial demon rush is already dead.
2. The surface is full of zombies and evil clouds. It's already walled off.

Just read through the thread from start to finish. Towers are near and dear to my heart. When you unveiled your first rendering of your plan I had to pick my jaw off the floor. How high are you planning to go?

[Sethatos]

To the top of the map, which is level 137. Currently the glass tower extends from the fortress in hell at level -25 all the way up to level 137 so it's 162 levels. Here's a couple pictures of the work so far even though it's a bit difficult to get an idea of how immense it actually is.

And then the top floor of the fortress in hell is nearly done, just need some more furnishings.

That's every square of that level made of clear glass blocks.

[Fleeting Frames]

Hm.

Where are the hydras?

And what were those white things in NE corner? Looking kinda like either cabinets or bookcases or bars.

[Sethatos]

Hydras are down 4 levels on the bottom floor of hell.

Those are the glass terrariums for all of the next goblin and elf prisoners 

[Fleeting Frames]

Do your dwarves get happy thoughts when admiring an elf or goblin?

Hm, would be cool if one could fill the terrariums with formaldehyde instead of water.
