Haven't seen Sizik around for a while, so, Velard: I (un)officially put you next on the list.  Congratulations!  It's your turn.  Be sure to read the rules in the first post.  We've loosened up on the one floor/turn thing, though.  May also want to read back a few pages for highlights.

Back up early and often.

Velard asked us to skip him, so it's up to UltraValican now.

Yeah, apparently a full fortress screenshot somebody posted generated interest.

Thanks, Japa. Thapa.

(I actually decided to check on the thread after seeing your Skyscrapes world map tile in the IsoWorld thread.)

Edit: Uploaded map.

Thanks for uploading the map!  I went over and started putting in some points of interest.  I'd like to help make it as comprehensive as possible, but right now I need to get to sleep.

You can continue the ribbon or take it down a floor or two if you want.  It's your call.

I hope you can get a militia up and running.  There seems to be a carryover bug from an older version (we started this on 31.02) that prevents us from assigning a militia leader.

Also, check out the points of interest on the map Sizik posted if you want a tour of the place.  I only got about halfway up the tower, but I'll keep going tonight.

So, there are three glass towers coming out of the lake halfway up.  Two are pretty straightforward.  You may have noticed the other looks pretty odd.  I'm not happy with how it turned out in Overseer or Stonesense, but I really like the idea and I'll have to give it a shot again some time.

I wanted to make something with an organic look.  Something reminiscent of a tree or a vine.  I decided to have a small circular tower spiral as it goes up and have branches "bud" off as it goes around. Like I said, I'm kind of dissappointed with how the result looks in the visualizers, but I think it actually looks alright in the game as you scroll levels.  Maybe that's because the game requires so much imagination, and I'm just seeing what I want to see rather than what's there.

Either way, I put together a .gif that might give a better impression of the rotation and branching I was going for:
