I believe that particular shade of blue is for Obsidian, if I remember correctly.

Microcline is about what you'd expect.

yeah wondered about that myself, black(ish) would look alot cooler. that battlement level still looks pretty impressive, tho resized screenies hurts my eyes.

That's supposed to be smoothed/polished obsidian, which either has a blue or red reflective tone. This is actually the base texture, which would be color-swapped for all glossy, polished, reflective stone (like Marble, etc.). As for the hue itself, I'm using a consistent palette in my artwork, but I ought to make a more maroon black shade for Obsidian.

After rigorous efforts of trying to find a nice site I eventually stumbled over this gem. I was trying to find a steep mountainous area with magma, sand, river, flux and other stuff. This has all of them including large plains filled with tons of wood and some savage wilds animals and nice temperate weather.

Well in addition to what I wanted I also got these:

Amazingly beautiful round magma pipe caldera over which you could build a whole fort.

And as an added bonus there is this MASSIVE spike of a mountain into which I'm currently planning on building my whole fortress with hanging terraces and other stuff.

Going to post more screens when I have my fortress up and running. Also first post ever on these forums, so hi!

Call that a Magma moat, this is a Magma moat, flooded a 3x3 map to a max depth of 3 z levels:
Using DigDeeper hence the Llama's.

The top of the tower has four artifact chairs in it.

Was a pain to build this, but I think it would be usefull what with all the clear glass to support.

Courtyard:

Farming only occours in Spring and Summer a bit more realism.

Each of the buildings houses an industry and associated stockpiles.

Images don't work.

[TauQuebb]

They do now, was fixing it as you replied

[tomas1297]

Wow.I like the workshops.

[dyze]

awesome fortress, looks like a futuristic military base from fallout or something 

[Hippoman]

Amazing. You guys got to start uploading this to archives too so we can see 2d and 3d versions.

[Djohaal]

There's too much awesome in these pictures to be contained. I feel humbled.

[LoneJedi7]

TauQuebb, i officially pronounce that you have the greatest fortress i have ever seen.......that is all

[Forumsdwarf]

Your fortresses are beautiful, true works of art.

[Micro102]

Your fortresses are beautiful, true works of art.

But not even close to the potential of stone sense...someone get the person who made copperblazes and give him an alienware laptop

[TauQuebb]

Thanks folks,

Heh, well, i think for copperblazes you more need one of these:

Though on a side note, when making that magma lake, an elf caravan, ork seige and human caravan turned up.. Lava 3 - Meatbags 0.

was fun to watch.

I can't get over how some of these mega constructions look.

I constantly try them myself, but for some reason they always end up as horrible non-euclidean forms that squat upon the scorched hills and mountains while all about them burning dwarves combat each other. If you listen carefully you can hear a chorus screaming, "Urist cancels Hunt small creature, tantruming".

I'm saving up until the next version, doing a lot of diagramming and doing some proof-of-concepts in the mean-time. So far, the only thing I need to get ironed out is making square tunnels off the side of a sphere, and upgrading my computer to handle some of the liquids.
