A long stretch of retractable bridges across a major river. Should an enemy try to invade, the bridges, linked to a single lever, will retract, dumping all the enemies into a raging river.

Don't forget the waterfall ending with spikes.
I've got a carp-infested lake to handle that part.

Is gold melt-able or do you need to change a raw?

Vanilla raws have gold with a melting point of 11915.  Magma has a temp of 12000.  As long as I don't lose too much temp due to the floor, it should melt, but I haven't tried using whatever utility it is that lets you check that.

So keep plenty of magma and it should melt?

I thought Magma and Water were the only liquids in game as well...

Water and magma are the only "flows".  Other materials can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas, but as a liquid they will act more like a "splatter" than actual flowing liquid.

Once the military becomes functional I'm considering making a tribute fortress to GLaDOS. I've been playing a lot of portal lately... >_>

I'm making a note here. This was a failure.

When your fortress crumbles to an end, an edited version of Still Alive (Not Alive?) should play. It starts with that.

EDIT: Or maybe

This was a failure.
I'm making a note here: That was the wrong lever.
It's hard to overstate my elf hatred.
Dwarven Science
We do what we shouldn't
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are elves.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of fun.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat engraving.
For the Dorfs who are still alive.
I'm not even berserking.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my spleen.
And killed me.
And pinched my toes off.
And threw every one into a cavern.
As they rotted it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these spatters of blood make a beautiful mural.
And we're out of dwarves.
We're failing on time.
So I'm Urist. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are still alive.
Go ahead and drop me.
I think I prefer to stay underground.
Maybe you'll find someone else to make lye.
Maybe the clowns
THAT WAS A JOKE.
HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cheese is great.
I should go engrave it all over.
Look at me still partying
when there's Science to do.
When I look out there, it makes me glad I'm not you.
I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the Soap Makers who are still alive.
And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing Science and I'm still alive.
I feel ECSTATIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.
STILL ALIVE (x2)

Your fortress has crumbled to an end.

Nice ninjaedit though.
I was going to say already done, but you found it.

I call dibs on Portal 2 ending credit!

I could always spoof Taste the Cake, a fan made song.

Edit: No derail, BAD! NO!

You should critique it! It was a 5-minute creation, and I'm not entirely happy with it.

Quit ninjaing me! You should edit The Device Has Been Modified.
