Besides, it's somehow enjoyable to think of groundhogs stacked to the very top of a cage and flooding out to kill.

The Church of Armok looks to have a rather small door. For it to be a church of Armok, of all gods, it needs to have the biggest & strongest door available to humans, dwarves, & elves alike.

The green glass pyramid seems to be rather small & tiny. For an unimportant megaproject this is fine, but scale & impressiveness is paramount. You should consider building upon it, or accompanying it with a gaggle of other pyramids. If you have enough other glass, you could always make another pyramid that's designed to burst and release magma upon invaders...

In all honesty, everything here is much better than something I could build. I'd love to see the Church of Armok completed and decorated with the spikiest decorations known to Dwarvenkind - especially obsidian spikes. I trust it is made of obsidian, is it not?

Now, all you need is a defense system fit for a god. Mile-high walls, perhaps? A flood of magma on the outskirts of it to wipe out any goblins that dare trespass? A maze of constructs to make any of the skulking kobolds cry as their minds break from pressure, simply trying to get in?

The possbilities are endless. But I think that, while not the most epic thing ever, is very impressive. Good job...

...The Church of Armok still needs to be studded with spikes of obsidian, however. It's somewhat plain at the moment.

I'm actually most impressed by the walls. They look very detailed and very authentic, like the best parts of the Great Wall of China. The rather nice towers at each intersection are a great touch.
