[Lord Dullard]

Now if you could just build a giant eye floating between the turrets..

[Onul]

Only 37 dwarves?

Build an altar at the top and start raising that death toll, you. .... good grief that is an epic tower, nice work; I'm envious and in awe. ;_;

[Eita]

Ah, but Lord Dullard, you can! He need merely build something spherical in shape, and then not fill in the center squares for the pupil. Then, just deconstruct the scaffolding and turn cave ins off.

THIS IS TOTALLY GETTING BIULT.

And Eita I think ill just support it with a single floor tile to each one of the turrets.
I may have to deconstruct two of them to get it to look right.

[Hishan]

Actually, I looked into this, and I cant design a good enough picture of an eye using only walls and ramps and floors. So Im leaving the tower as it is. Unless someone donates a design im happy wih of course

[Ivefan]

Good work Hishan.
I've started working on a tower of my own and have now excavated the "Moat". 26z deep and 50x50 wide. the actual tower is 30x30 but considering the time it took to fill the volcano it will take ages to fill the moat.
It will require 3016 blocks of gold to finish the outer walls and i intend to use the underground river to make an indoor waterfall.

[Worldwaker]

Holy Armok. That lava lake almost brings a tear to my eye due to it's sheer scale.

At the risk of sounding incredibly stupid, what construction gives you the pointy bits on the top of your towers? Is it just a ramp that looks like that because it has no adjacent wall or something? Cheers,

Its taken 4 years
37 dwarven lives
2541 stones
and rises 24 z-levels

The magma in the background of the first picture is the pooled magma I pumped out, that has formed a magma lake.

Evil overlord much?

[Hishan]

Heres the map

Finally uploaded, and thats it, the fort is finished. Any suggestions on how to kill it?

[RavingManiac]

Huh, all the tower houses is your nobles, including the tax collector and hammerer...

Tower of evil indeed.

Fill it with godawful deadly traps then stop producing alcohol and tell them to throw existing barrels into the magma from a platform.

Your dwarves will all throw tantrums, trash random things, go mad and get caught in traps - it's a self-perpetuating disaster.
