You should probably have put a few more details in your post.  At first, I thought "A mountain?  So what?"  Then I saw the map.  Very interesting, the way those pillars are all lined up straight, perfect circles, and go near-vertical for what, a hundred or two z-levels makes me think it's some sort of bug.  Could make a very interesting fort, if I wasn't afraid of lag from the height.

Know what, FPS be damned, I think I'll try a fort here myself!

It's been a while since I played DF. This is what will change that.

EDIT: So where is it?

towards the center of the map, there's a lone mountain peak.

I'll get a map up later.

I'm going to carve a castle out of the large semicircular mountain on the right.

wall off the tiny gaps in the mountain and the huge gap in the north, then build some huge massive gigantic surface fort

With the mountains as corner pillars...kekekeke!

Not a troll, not some basement-dwelling neckbeard, but indeed a hateful, rude little person. On the internet.
I'm actually quite nice IRL, but you people have to pay the price for that.

Now stop being distracted by the rudeness, quit your accusations of trollery, and start arguing like real men!

The original is a bigger area than that. I think maybe 8x8? In any case, don't expect both a good framerate and the entire range.

EDIT: It's not going to be so "pristine" once I'm done with it.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Those seriously look like mountains that your typical 5 year old would draw.  Very interesting indeed.

With [SLOW_LEARNER], dwarves probably don't sit around and talk anymore. They just stand in the same corner altogether, staring at each other, sticking their bearded lips out trying to make sounds. And giggling when someone actually says a whole word.
