some-one needs to start a fort on a place like this, and make two forts for the two sides:
nobility:living on the western side, nobles and the select few dwarves you really care for live here. massively glorious megaprojects and rooms, but not a lot of production. still, they mange to produce all the furniture your dwarves need so that they won't get run out.

workers:living in the east, these dwarves have a more modest fort, but their friends live there and they're happy to be important. they produce food, booze and everything else except furniture.


PLEASE post it on these forums.

Putting them under a magma fall would make a much WARMER story!

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

Build the noble fortress under the magma fall, then dig out the other sides so the noble fortress is completely enclosed by magma falls. (except underneath, unless you turned cave-ins off)

no, on the west side.

maybe there could be occasional "get togethers" where the two forts are joined by a big bridge so the dwarves can make friends. that way, if one fort is screwed, then so is the other.

It's funny how DF volcanos are not actual "volcanos" as you would think them... i.e a rather steep, tall mountain with lots of lava at the top :d
