That's simple. Instead of abandoning, kill your fort by first dumping into a chasm all unused clothing and later throwing all your dwarves into the same chasm via a suicidal trap.

[Mulch Diggums]

We need to be able to hook pressure plates up to balistas, just to be able to reacreate the scene from indiana jones where hes dodging arrows shooting out of the walls in a tunnle.

[Glacies]

So maybe you could build that 15 zl high castle and have the adventurer go all the way up to the top of the castle, then all the way down to the demon-pit temple, too...?

[Royal Surveyor]

This is simply a wonderful thread!  Now, if there's a suitable world, perhaps someone could have an adventurer climb all the major peaks?

The notion of a mountaintop fortress is also a great idea.

I tried it in my world, but found that I would have only elk-pops and ice to lick halfway up.  Then my eyes froze and was eaten by wolves.
Boo!

[Sean Mirrsen]

I haven't tried it in the new version yet. I predict catastrophic failure on the first attempt.

[Puzzlemaker]

Necropost due to how awesome this thread is.

Didn't Toady add something where it keeps track of whoever gets to the top of a mountain?

I say we should revive these attempts.  To the top!

[Sean Mirrsen]

Yes, because a year-and-a-few-months-old topic like this is worth it to be resurrected. This is one of those cases where starting a new one would likely be better.

Why start a new one when this old one is perfectly good?

That's like throwing out an old couch.  THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE COUCH.  You do not need to buy a new couch every year!  JUST KEEP THE OLD COUCH.

It would be cool if people scaled mountains during worldgen.  Then we could have engravings about it.

This is an engraving of the dwarf Urist Iceblood.  The dwarf is frozen.  It relates to the death of Urist Iceblood while trying to climb the mountain Deathmany.

It's been ages since I last climbed a mountain, so I dunno which version it was. I'm not exactly a veteran to this game, but... er.

*scratches head*

I remember pretty distinctly that it told me when I reached the summit, which was a round-ish ~2 screen across plattform at the top. The one I climbed wasn't a very hostile one, though.

Yeah, he added it awhile ago.

[Cirius]

Cue rocky theme.

Well that was almost uneventful.
I almost ran out of water half way up, then lo and behold, I stumble across a small brook in this completely desolate wasteland. Armok be praised.

I did however manage to find myself in a relative maze of chasms, and it took about ten dead antmen and a relative horde of naked molemen before I could find my way out again.

[Poojawa]

Hahahaha, Nice mountain name there.

[Jervous]

I climbed it..where are my women?!

[Kagus]

I wonder how much longer my survival tips for food and drink will still be valid...  Man, that was so much fun to discover.
