So hey, i actually build on a huge fortress, or like Markavian in the comments said: a thriving city
i just want to get more comments, and maybe ideas what to do.
http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-3703-axeauraofangelsand on the other side i want to make a little competition:
the northeast area is completly clear, so i want to make some monumental statue or something. but i am very bad at designing such a huge thing and not very creative... so why not get the df community involved and let them design them. a real price i cant make, just to note your name on the dfmaps page, and a dwarf of your choice with the name in the fort ^^
the rules are simply:
the monument should be maximum 13 z levels high, and 10-50 in x and y levels.
it could be anything from a gigantic dragon, a group of dwarfs or whatever.
material used should be mainly obsidian, but also clear/green glas, logs, bauxite (red), limonite(white), maybe also a few bars (black bronze, gold, and so on) can i make into it.
also useable is water and magma, but the power needed shouldnt exceed 2000 points (i use windmills).
in a 3d view it should look totaly awesome, i heard of "magmabreathing" dragons or dwarfs with magma eyes(and a clear glass window of course). all i need is a plan floor per floor, with pumps, axles, walls, floors, whatever is needed. for magmatechs i use steel stuff (block, screwpump, floodgates) and bauxite mechanics.
for water and magma is addinal there should be a 3x3 input zone, and a 1x1 output zone somewhere in the floor (but only one at each) so i can drain the complete magma/water again if needed. with the zones i mean a channeled area there the underground will take up or put in the stuff ^^.
for dwarfs and construction it should be connected to underground somewhere too, i will wall of the ground and floor the rest that isnt needed for consturction.
