I think I am the first person to ever win in this game.
Let me start from the beginning.

I had a megaproject of sorts going on. I floored the bottom of a bottomless pit, flooded it via river channel, and once it was completely flooded, I caved it in, removing the floor.

Immediately, 13 z-levels of water crashed down into the pit. Until... Until the water stopped flowing into it. Now I have a 2 z-level lake with a floor made of void.

I think this means I beat the game.

(The map has repeating numbers, and the video is the 1337th video in the DFMA system. I think that's confirmation of victory.)

If anyone wants the save, I'll gladly upload it (along with my DF folder).

[Argonnek]

I think you just broke DF, not beat it. Remember: in DF there are no laws of physics. Leave that lake there for several years. And yes, I would like to see that save

The only way to win is for your fortress to exist in outerspace with no constructions. Aka blast a chunk of rock out of the ground and make your own asteroid fortress.

[Jim Groovester]

That's impressive. From the looks of things, the chasm is still draining water through the magical two level lake.

Maybe you should post this in bug reports, too. I have a funny feeling that magical lakes above chasms are not intended behavior.

[Phazer]

do that with MAGMA and you will beat the game

[Byakugan01]

do that with MAGMADead elves and you will beat the game

You didnt do what you think you did.

When a ceiling collapses it leaves behind rubble where it lands, which the games calls "Open Space". This is what the water pit is sitting on.

try dropping a object down and see if it goes away(by object I mean elf).

So the sky is made of the collapsed remains of ancient civilizations?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

no it made of the dropped remains of their space colonies.

You'll notice in his video that he loo'k's over the tiles that are magically suspending the water, and they say Chasm, not Open Space.

Magma flow tiles are sort of pseudo-chasms, in that items and creatures will fall through them to the abyss, yet magma can still rest on them. Maybe something like that is going on.

I like the dead dwarf on the bottom in the pic.

[ArkDelgato]

So you created a the water equivilant to a magma pipe?

Sweet, now make a magma river and switch ground and air with your uber physics.

[LegoLord]

Oh my.  Now that is impressive.  But yes, you must do it with magma as well and convert a water river into a magma river.
