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

I bet it's getting loads of marksdwarves, magma, and god knows what else, letting loose a lone gremlin and halfway along he is paired up with another one, with lots of levers he needs to pull to get through. At the end, more magma. And a dead end.

@ Vertigon: It should be "I feel ECSTATIC and I'm still alive!"

@ dwarfguy2: I spent a lot of time drawing plans for this fortress. But I don't want to give anything away, regardless I'm going to need a working military before I begin anyway.

I drew some plans of my defences involving long hallways will fortifications at the end, and vertical bars a few spaces in front of them, so my dwarfs could fire accurately while the enemy is trapped in a narrow corridor with Dwarven rain...

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

Fantastic should be ecstatic. Dwarves are never fantastic, but it's entirely possible (read: almost guaranteed) that the last living dwarf in your fort will be EC-F^%$(@G-STATIC at the time of his death.

Anyway, I've built a huge pit in the ground at one of my forts (http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-7885-channels-zirilcatten- wasn't quite done, haven't gotten any recent takes on it since it always turns up error-ridden)

All my other mega projects end in horrible death. But today that changes. I'm going to make 1. a world-tree, modeled off one of the native trees, from only above-ground wood. 2. A tower cap, underground. Entirely from tower cap wood. 3. A tunnel tube, a spiral of tunnel tube wood surrounding the tower cap and going straight to the base of the above-ground tree, like a huge pink root. The tower cap and tunnel tube will have natural rock floors on top of them, muddied, so that they grow mushrooms on them. I'd do this to the tree too, but i don't think muddied artificial floors grow anything.
Regardless of how awesome a starting location I get, this will involve magma and water mixing, 1-2 cavern layers, and walling off all the map edges in said cavern layers.
I want that still alive spoof in audio form before the end of the first year :P

Ok I edited your version, just some stuff to make it fit better, I couldn't resist.

This was a failure.
I'm making a note here: Huge mistake.
It's hard to overstate my dissapointment.
Urist McScience.
We do these bad things.
because Its FUN.
For the good of no one else.
Except the ones who are dwarves.
But there's no sense crying over every dead elf.
You just keep on trying till you get a fey mood.
When the Science gets done.
You get a masterpiece sock.
For the people who are still alive.
I'm not even crazy.
I haven't played, DF, that long.
Even though it changed my world.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw my corpse, into, a fire.
As I burned it hurt because, I was so happy for you!
Now this field of dead elves, makes an appeasing fort.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm Urist. I got burned.
Think of everything we learned.
for the people who are still alive.
Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe those humans.
THAT WAS A JOKE.
HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this booze is good.
Its so thirst quinching and great.
Look at me still talking.
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 migrants 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
STILL ALIVE

I would love to sing, but I can't, and I can't do a GLadOS voice either...

i wanted to make a huge skull, with a dining table and chairs,  that leaked magma out of its eye sockets over the entrance to my fort, as a sort of hello to the elven caravans, and anything else that might path to my fort.

The Still Alive Dead songs are hilarous when you read it in tune to the song playing in the background. I was laughing the whole time. :P
