your first one is impossible, you can't dig through it, only find a single stone because of a bug.

You can easily mod it to make that possible.

I've been digging straight down to build my fortress on layer 3 each game already. Laptop doesn't let me get all that far but if a few dozen bedrooms and one of each workshop type count as a fortress entirely underground then I've done it.

Back in 40d embarking in evil biomes was often more dangerous than level 3 has been, depending on which forgotten beasts invite themselves over for tea.

That would be totally awesome but quite a job, would need to do some massive plumbing and pull a boatmurdered pretty much.
Now that..

Huh, who hasn't? Lots of people make forts that take place in the caverns and wall of other caverns until they have a militia to expand.

First to make a mod of plump helmet man cavern.

Who needs kobalds when you can play as an even less advanced race, and everything is trying to EAT you!

You could engineer some cave ins to drain most of the magma sea.
Though at that point you don't need to pull the drain out of the bottom so much, you could just pump it off the edges if you were patient.

that's a little too specific... maybe first to mod the game to make a ridiculous playable race...

edit: also changed the list at top.

I'm halfway to making a magma sea based defense and pulling a boatmurdered.

BTW do you count a Boatmurdered as flooding everything with magma, or just pouring magma on the outdoors?

Former Projects: Roughnesschants(multi-level aboveground city)

Best summary of Dwarf Fortress:
I'm fairly certain every path in the game leads to some sort of massive execution.

Why so hard? I built an (admittedly fairly small) fort by draining the 3rd deep ocean into the magma sea and carving my fort out of the obsidian. It was pretty easy.

Does it count that my creature of the deep was a giant scorpion that arrived underwater and drowned to death?

well you didn't really kill it... even though that is awesome.

It would count if you caged it and used it to help defend your fort somehow. adding this...

Was the scorpion made out inorganic materials? The forgotten beasts made of flesh were always fairly easy to kill. I doubt the metal ones need to breath.

Who will be the first to mod Dwarves to have a lethal, alcohol-based breath weapon?
