Machinegod, ruled by The Council of Beasts, is slowly constructing a missile silo within a chasm.  It will have gold casing, alternations of pitchblende and graphite, water coolant that evaporates from magma (for effect), and iron catwalks.

Urist McBlofeld will approve heartily.

An especially noteworthy feature is the clever magma-ductwork which allows molten rock to be pumped up through the statue to pour in a fiery cascade from the mouth; any captives trapped within the statue at such times are immersed in magma, and their immolation wreathes the statue's head in clouds of smoke.
Vomiting magma. This is cave adaption done right.

This conjures up some interesting mental images.

That would be as deadly to the wielder as to anyone else!  You'd sever your own arm at the first swing!  It's perfect!

I'm still trying to figure out my own mega project... I might just continue with an abandoned succession fort to make temples for the gods... not sure though... ehn, we'll just have to see.

I'm in the process of building Minas Tirith. By "in the process", I mean "found an awesome site and struck the earth". Soon, though...

Oh lawd, please share the site. I have found a semi-decent place for Helm's Deep, but my dream is Minas Tirith.

No pictures yet, but I have done quite a few things in my thirty-year fort. The most noteable one was probably a tower taller than anything posted in this thread, or quite possibly anywhere else on the forums.

Counting the basement, it's slightly over 100 z-levels. The basement (about a third of the total height) was actually going to be the original tower, but once you start building a tower, it's rather difficult to stop.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Don't hide a site like that! We want to see it.

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

A simple core-tapping stair platform I'm making. I plan on penetrating 20 or more Z-levels of earth. If all goes well, I may be able to flow magma through the central chamber and into whatever the point rests on.

I'm not building anything YET, but I do plan to make a long meeting hall overlooking the ENOURMOUS waterfall/river on the map (It's that super-huge waterfall map that's in another thread, it's very nice!)

Right now Rampages seem to be Godzilla quietly walking into Tokyo, biting the leg off of one reporter... then creeping off again without a sound.

I wish my current site for mega construction was this tall but alas it is only 70 z-levels all told.  I am therefore forced to make things extravagant in a different way.

With [SLOW_LEARNER], dwarves probably don't sit around and talk anymore. They just stand in the same corner altogether, staring at each other, sticking their bearded lips out trying to make sounds. And giggling when someone actually says a whole word.

Put a roof over the field, then remove it when you're done?

Just build them underground and then channel away the roof.
