4 levels so far, gonna see how this is looking, and if I should add a bit more or start branching.

If you haven't started on the cages, make 'em out of nethercap.  Keep those elves refrigerated until you decide to do something with 'em.

Hope you can't blame a chap for hoping. 

And now that I'm done with own playing around with pocket worlds, I think I'm going to actually try playing the game again and see if I can get done what I was thinking about with a major river.

4 levels completed.  The inner staircase spirals up.  To the side you can see my adamantine wafer monument, with the statue showing the founding of the fort.

[Itnetlolor]

For a moment, I thought somebody was going to build a tree out of elf bones.

[Girlinhat]

Close, but I don't have bone blocks modded in... yet.  Still, they'd just look like regular blocks really.

[white_darkness]

Moving on up, and nice to see the ground and the full construction of the adamantine monument.  Rather like the simple style of it.

How many z-levels do you have to play with from the surface?

Since I'm assuming that once you start branching out, the main trunk will begin to narrow, so the max height you have and your patience will control that.

Hopefully it'll come out looking nice, and also serve as a warning to those foolish enough to attempt to visit violence upon your dwarves.

[Girlinhat]

100 Z's total, but this is built upon a cave's mound, so that's -5 Z's due to that.  Still, more than enough.  Since I'm building a tower on the same map, I gave myself lots of head room.  I'm looking at 15-20 for this, 20-25 Z's up since it's atop the mound.  I'm preparing a branch now, to see how it'll look and what style I want.

[white_darkness]

LOL, more than enough room.  I was remembering where I think you were complaining about a lack of space and plans to cave in the surface a few score of z-levels.

I could see this potentially growing into a secondary and sizable addition to go along with the tower.  <_<

[Girlinhat]

Not a sizable tree.  Trees are tough to make.  Well, tough to make right.  You have to freehand the branches or else it looks like a weird tower.  I don't have the patience or the Blood Thorn for that!  And yeah, that was me griping about the ceiling, so now all my maps are supersized.

[white_darkness]

That whole discussion caused me to add 45 z-levels to the surface by default.  Now if I could stick with something long enough to do something.

And aye, they can't be straight, they've got to go out, twist a little bit, rise up and down, all sorts of logistical fun.

Still though, blood thorn is a "renewable" resource....

Sadly my patience is not.  I'm very likely to just strip the cavern (whoops, already doing that!) and then put this on pause for a year or two, regrow stuff, swipe it all down, etc.  Going in and grabbing just the blood thorn trees is too tiresome.

[arkhometha]

Elf bones are a renewable resource too. And you don't need to separate as you have to do with trees.
Only if you want the kids bones to be on the spikes.

[white_darkness]

Too true.  One will be a break from the other.

Besides, you'll have all that lovely coloured wood for all sorts of creativity.

And now I'm actually got a world and a site, and a cavern collapse to start things off.    Now I'm outta here for a while, time to do some digging and figure out what the heck I want to do with this place.

But elf bones are a lesser insult to elves! We can't be having that now can we?
