I have a cool island location with a VOLCANO and some sand, to make glass with. The volcano is on the edge of a cliff, so i'm already working on a magma waterfall. I also have some ocean on the edge of the map.

So, what kind of cool project can I do with this area? I was thinking about making a glass fort submerged in water. What fun things can I do with water and magma? btw i'm kinda new to this game, still climbing the learning cliff.(thank you wiki)

Obsidion fortress, use obsidion for the walls, floors, and ceilings, make this fort above and below ground. Make it stand out upon the landscape so even people on the mainland can see this obsidion doom.

Sounds cool, not sure if i'll do it.

[NKDietrich]

I'd make a tower out of alternating obsidian and glass.

[MagmaMcFry]

Cast a ginormous obsidian block and build a self-supplying fortress in it, then immerse everything in magma!

[Gearheart]

Obsidian fortresses are a little played out, though still cool in their own way.

Make a giant obsidian sword sticking out of the volcano.

[Eagle_eye]

fill the ocean with obsidian.

@Gearheart: Over or in the magma?

[Gnauga]

Construct glass up-down staircases on every tile of open space on your map. It will look as though your dwarves are flying! Add occasional platforms of glass floors to build stockpiles or workshops or what-have-you. Make a fortress in this giant staircase monstrosity.

@Gearheart: Over or in the magma?

Build it so that the blade is about 1/4 immersed in the magma, while the rest of it is sticking out of the top of the tube.

I have just had a wonderful Idea. Make two gigantic statues of two dwarves sparing, one with a shortsword and one with an axe. Make these statues, mostly, hollow, have your dwarves live inside, make certain parts of their bodies, eyes for example, be glass. Or, just use the statues as gigantic Barracks for your Sword and Axedwarves seperately.

i have something similar and am building a 40 story tall green glass diamond shape in the side of the cliff in which I'll build my fortress.  You could also try casting something from obsidian.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Build a completely self-sufficient glass fort, then encase it in obsidian.

[Shark]

Whoa, thanks for all the ideas, guys.

I'm prolly going to build my fortress in the cliff behind the huge magma waterfall. The only way to enter will be one path on a sea of magma, made of obsidian.

Maybe i'll make an obsidian aqueduct going into the fort to supply fresh water

hmm...this is gonna be fun

Build a giant Magmaship to dive into the volcano with all your dwarves (would take off with a lever).
Make sure they have enough food/booze supply for the Fun trip to the center of the earth
