[They Got Leader]

What do you propose? Undergrotto?

[Girlinhat]

Some 20-50 long hallway, 1-5 Z's tall, with a single-color "red carpet" effect, probably obsidian, with bauxite pillars every 5-10 spaces, making a grand walkway, where the dragon sits chained to an opulent altar, with statues of dragons, other cave creatures, and creatures being killed by dragons.  Bonus points for well-placed magma-falls.

I NEED IDEAS!

Pit of magma surrounding an island (artificial, of course; bonus points if made of ice!) on which the dragons are placed. Have a sacrificial pit a z-level or two above the island. Drop nobles and goblins down there. Maybe figure out some way to drop elven traders into the sacrificial pit without losing too much building materials.

[Girlinhat]

The island is a good idea too, certainly has its merit, but is a bit hard to reach without creative use of bridges.

[They Got Leader]

Hmm... Island... Long walkway. I think that I will make a ziggurat like structure... hollow on the inside.

[Girlinhat]

If it's stonesense-friendly, do post pics.

[They Got Leader]

Will do. I still want ideas, though!! I am producing blocks and melting metals. (Carved a temporary fort and harvesting minerals).

[Girlinhat]

Cave theme.  Lots of dark colors, standing water, magma, something-cap wood when available...  Perhaps even mod them to be carnivores, and eat kills, to give them live meat to devour, or kill and eat each other?

make the ziggurat underground.  Meaning, carve out many z levels of large open space.  Make sure to leave the ziggurat intact as you do this.  Then, hollow out the zuggurat leaving a natural walkway leading to a small ramp that leads to a cavern (natural or simulated.)  Chain the dragon up in this cavern, or create a pit that sacrifices can be dropped down into instead of a ramp.  Allow for windows behind fortifications to spectate this slaughter and to observe the dragon.

It will be hard to do underground because I have a lot of sand and the cavern is right below it... This will make it hard.

or make the ziggurat have cavernous passageways through it and the bridge leads to the top of it.  You are allowed to cast obsidian to generate walls where needed but no constructions.  the entire exterior must be engraved and the interior muddied.

[Girlinhat]

Engravings are unreliable, you'll get half of the engravings of cheese, the other half of the engraver himself, and one of the engraver engraving an image of the cave dragon eating cheese.  Thus, statues.

So! I am thinking about making a tower and carving out sand below it. I will build a ziggurat out of stone under a thin layer of sand (keeping the dark/underground tags). The dragon will reside in a hall within the underground ziggurat.

I'd suggest a spire type of tower.  Like, a 5x5 footprint, and then two levels, and then take the corners and turn them into ramps, making it smaller for the next segment, and do this tapering to make a spike.  Looks great in stonesense, where ramps convert into smooth slopes.

This is like what I had in mind.  And the engravings content doesnt matter as much as the fact that it is engraved.  If you saw the great pyramids of giza completely engraved your face would be  thus, the ziggurat's exteriour should be engraved.
