You should have made the dam in another area, where the water is making a huge canyon about 6+ tiles down. I found that spot and I want to make some ridiculous dam with all sorts of goodies, but don't have the time to do so.

Yeah, I was thinking someone would end up spending a week building a dam with floodways and power generation and a highway on top for added effect.

I think that it's pretty amazing you got that many pumps built that fast.  Expecially on that particular region.  There were no trees in the desert when I embarked on it.

He built them from green glass.

It would probably ignore the dam completely, but what if you abandoned and embarked downstream from the dam? Meaning the play area doesn't even include the dam at all. I assume you'd just get an infinite river like you would if the dam didn't exist.

Imagine if you could somehow funnel the goblins sieges into the dried up part of the river... (put doors to the fort down there) then releasing the floodgates exposing them to the full fury of the river, also a good method for removing pesky nobles /refuse removal?

I can see how you could design an entryway designed to flood out like that.

It would be rather entertaining.

Actually, there weren't many trees when I embarked, but there were some and that was enough for me to finish building the dam after my initial supply of wood ran out. I didn't need very many since my initial loadout included an entirely unreasonable amount of tower cap logs and ~50 olivine blocks (so I could start constructing the base for the pumps right away, and the pumps themselves soon after).

Yes, that's exactly the case.
