This... this is epic beyond the meaning of the word "epic".

The DF-based DnD campaign should go through it.

holy carp! this is the most enormous df thing i've seen in my life

[Jackrabbit]

This here is the reason I play DF. People like you are the reason I love this game. Thank you for showing me this, thank you for all the ideas you've given me. Thank you so much.

oh my god...

...ohh... my god...

I think the dwarvenly way just got bested by the superdwarvenly way!

[Zeff]

I know its been said but one cannot see this without leaving a thought...

Epic!

[mustyoshi]

Wow, that is amazing, I can't imagine even trying to design that sort of stuff in a game like Dwarf Fortress, making the jump from layers of 2D to 3D is to much for me, but wow, you really did it .

[TigerPlushie]

I've actually been trying that once. After learning about the magnificent properties of carving ramps, I've decided to carve out many rooms with two z-levels. By far not as epic as this, but it included carving out an entire apartment complex into a cave just for the sake of it. To me, it was big and epic....

As soon as the "unconvenient features" of this game get patched, i'll try to get a bit more creative again.

I don't know the first thing about pits, dropping goblins, or blood spatter, but... the failure to bloody the water in the shrine, when you dropped the goblins into the pool? Perhaps a single tile simple 'altar' of some kind (perhaps made of hidden fun metal, or something simpler if mining said metal would be 'bad') directly on the drop point would ensure splattering?

Thanks all for the positive response everyone. I don't like individually responding to non-question posts because I don't really like forcing my own thread to live but I'm still following it

Actually I think the problem was that when I tossed one of the few gobs I had caught, none of the bits really landed in the pool... they all kind of flew up into the air and landed in the lake. Plus even non-flowing water creates a fake flow as best I can tell, so the blood would've just disappeared into a nearby wall.

Of course, just chucking more and more goblins down to test further couldn't hurt If only they would siege again...

First of all this is damn amazing

Secondly it inspired me to do my own project and I followed your advice and it worked quite nicely (except for spontaneous tree growth causing cave-ins) until I hit magma.

Much appreciated.

Certainly in top 5 forts ever.

[Remalle]

...I am in awe.

[Daenyth]

You are truly blessed by Armok

[illiterate]

astonishing. 

[Naz]

Wow Retro...stuff like this is why I love this game.

I'm only on like...my 4th fortress in 40d and the 1st that didnt catch fire immediately but every time I see something like this I just think "I need to build a glass replica of the sun over my fort...and fill it with lava"

You sir, are the definition of dwarvenly.

[Genoraven]

Oh the dwarfanity!
