I'm thinking you should make an entire fortress built aroud the spire.

Like, a reversed version of the standard staircase-in-the-ground layout people use.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

or both. 2 fortresses, one up one down (I very nearly said 'both alike in dignity')

Now when you say 5x5, do you mean 5x5 tiles, or 5x5 embark tiles?

5x5 tiles, my friend.

When I saw Reese's thread, I have thought of this:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And with some idea from Azgog, I'll make the trunk look like bleeding form the inside by making the lava ooze in the body, but a quick thought just appeared on me: the tower's made of wood!

Also, the 'fortress' idea  of ungulateman is also good. It can make the fortress more functional.

I imagine this:

#-fortress
X- tower

In adventure mode it'll kinda look like a goblin fortress, But making the structures all in wood, it will be the Elves' capital city!

#- fortress
