Combining a few of the ideas I read above.

Make a Face in the mountain (pretty much a basic face, eyes nose mouth.) make lava pumps to beable to pump said lava out of the mouth (which would be about 10 Z levels above the entrance) into a lava resivoir/moat. Nothing would seem more dwarvish here than a giant dwarf spewing tons of lava out of his mouth like magmatic nausea.

DO IT NOW! We came up for an idea for a *megaproject* for you!

Giant dwarven face in a mountain, spewing lava out of the mouth like vomit, with water (controlled by a pressure pad in the tomb entrance) that 'crys' out of the face's eye sockets whenever you lose a dorf.

Remember to take pix.

*votes for switching the dwarf face to a toad*

God-king Toady gets first rights to the cliff.

There's an init option to show such things on the embark map. Very helpful.

In other news, I have genned such a cliff side, and am going to do my damnedest to have a giant stone toad carved out of the rock somewhere if I can figure out how to make one out of squares...

  He means the OP has shown no evidence that he HAS those resources. We're not talking a new environment here, but an established one.

Giant bewbs.
Oh god.....

Welcome to dwarf fortress, the game getting more popular and the player base more RETARDED!  ;D

Get about a half dozen eggs, mix the F#$@ out of em, and what do you get!?!?@!

we're all retarded, yes. and you get some of egoraptor's funniest works.


back on topic, if you've still got all the stone, build massive amounts of catapults on top of the thing, then turn invaders on. otherwise, i support the crying face idea.

Two Words.

Antfarm.
Fortress.


With glass windows covering the sides.
Make lots of stairs, and build in only two dimensions.

Not only is it not actually advertising anything, it's just copy/pasting word salads about gold, runescape, oil, yuan, and handbags.  It's like a transporter accident combined all the spambots into one shambling mass of online sales.

Wait, i got a better idea than my previous one: cut the cliff in half, make one side a cutaway Underworld-challenge fortress, and the other half the crying dwarf face. Or just cut it in half, then set up two self sufficent warrior nations. It'd be better if you could have your dwarfs fight one another on command though.

carve a game of Space Invaders into the side of the mountain, with a depiction of shooting upwards through your own shield.
