Keep the ideas coming, please. 

The more ideas the better. Otherwise, we'll just end up with a ring of overengineered super palaces owned by each family that has a child.

Actually, that could be awesome.

I liked the Cave City too.  I had thought of doing something similar...

except suspending this one from the ceiling.

Somebody totally did that, on a small scale at least: http://mkv25.net/dfma/poi-18030-thebatapartmento . 

Sparkgear 4 was totally underrated.

When people start megaprojects, they should start with big set of walls and ramparts, something to make it look like a fortress in a visualizer.  Right now, it pretty much looks like a hole in the ground.

yay! my magmarine (minus the non-existant magma) was cross-sectioned!

also, I'm beginning to dig out the chamber with the spark-gate.

PS: Does anyone have all of the final Sparkgear saves? I'd like to put them all on a disc, on which every other finished Sparkgear can be recorded and stored for posterity.

Story:

I've had enough of the constant power struggles going on in this fortress, it's time to bring in the final and greatest authority to rule over the fortress. I speak of course of the king. As such I prepared our fortress for his coming (again). And finally completed the great Tower in honour of Armok. Truly it seems as if he smiles down upon us.

So yeah, if someone would be so kind as too babysit the fortress until the king arrives? I fear we'll have to wait for the dwarven caravan to arrive and see our new roads before he will come . I have prepared some apartments for him and his entourage though I wasn't able to fully furnish them, if the hypothetical babysitter would do that? And I finally completed the execution tower and killed some goblin POW to celebrate  .

okay. I'll download them when I get my flash drive back so I can take them to a CD.

Anyone have any requests for the use of a copper anvil?

Also, where is the lever to the entrance? I can't find it!

In the lever room, which should be hotkeyed to F2.

Unless it's been deconstructed.  In which case.....

God have mercy on ye.

[Heron TSG]

find a way to make a room that makes the anvil fall on a dwarf, followed by drowning them so they die instead of get to stand on an anvil. Then be able to drain the room.

Ok, I see the levers. All 11 of them. I hope they are labeled

edit: you guys know that the magma-bridge allows the Orcs to cross the river, right?

Oh well, I'll fix that after this seige.

They should all be labled in (N)otes    And yes, we WANT the orcs to cross the river.  That way they can get to the drowning chambers no matter where they enter the map.

Unfortunately, I had a small accident when digging out the chamber for the Spark-Gate. Its not much of an issue at the moment, but a careless future leader might have a slight problem on his hands.

story:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Normally, when an elven caravan comes around, a seige engineer like me simply helps out carry the goods. Well, I got to skip the goods-getting this time, turns out I've been granted the keys that make the Wheel go round. Well, I have been wanting to build a gate to Armok's temple, or the Spark-Gate 1! Onward!

First order of business: dig out the room used for the Gate itself. i've made blueprints! It will be a massive and impressive chamber! There will be magma! Gears! waterfalls! and... goblins? What do you mean goblins? Just send a squad to the surface to take care of them, after all, 1 layer of cage traps can't hold them forever.

Ah, glad that's taken care of. Back to drinking mead... Is that a wild grizzly in the mead? and are those immigrants!? Guards, charge!

Well, a few immigrant casualties, and a dead bear, but the elves had some cool stuff, namely tame bears. Thats really the only cool stuff they brought... And how do I drain that central pool in the trade route? well, digging time.

Oh wait, this switch. Nevermind.

Summer has arrived! Progress on the spark-Gate chamber is minimal, and a metalsmith withdrew from society. He later came out with a copper anvil. I tried to explain to him that anvils are supposed to be fire-safe materials for a reason. No reasoning with these guys.

Well, I was out in the courtyard today, and the humans have arrived. Well, they kinda arrived immediately before the Orcs came. Considering I know nothing about these levers, wherever they are... drat! The humans died! Oh, this switch seals us up!

Well, the mayor, Nahkk, who was re-elected today, told me to use the flooding mechanisms. While setting things up, I was delayed when the chamber for the Spark-gate sprung some leaks in the ceiling. Well, how was I supposed to know that the aquifer was there? Hmmf, well, time to seal of the chamber.

And I guess the dwarves are revolting, because now if someone opens a certain door, the fort risks flooding... very, very slowly... Well, at least I got my waterfall.

[skaltum]

well it's a good thing i'm not too careless then aye

[kurisukun]

well it's a good thing i'm not too careless then aye

Famous last words?

Or famous first words before Fun

[Vieto]

meh, actually the risk of a fort flood is rather low. the water level isn't even lapping at the doors yet. A fast DFer might even be able to stop the aquifer leak before it does any damage

I uploaded a map: http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-6925-sparklewheel-sparkgear

Did the humans bring their wagons this time?
