So on my unending search for architectural inspiration, i came along this beauty:

http://www.milbysmaps.com/brazenthrone/

 and i did the maths:
 it would definitely fit into a 16x16 embark
(maybe even into a 12x16 if you crop the long entryway or a 12x12 if cropping the areas without detailed plans available)
i guess we got a new MEGAPROJECT! where can i get a good PC for free?

edit: tried 16x16 and upon hittin embark DF froze and i had to kill the process.
trying 12x12 next.

12x12 qould technically work (60fps on a long load).

technical question: can i use "embark everywhere" to make overlapping forts? that'd solve my prob.
i'd just create a fort of 5x5 to 6x6 overlapping with each other's neighbors and have 16 overlapping sections of the city.

Embark Everywhere means everywhere. You can embark in the middle of the sea if you want.

You might risk some serious issues, especially in adventure mode. I'm pretty sure the overlapping area won't even contain the changes from the other forts and you'll have to build it multiple times.

It might be better to just have the embarks edge-to-edge and use dfhack to construct right up to the map edge.

what's the console command for that?

I think tiletypes might work.
