[Pnx]

I have explained various ideas for a vennice like city with large pillars reaching up. Now my plan is to make a fort... I mean a fort as in castle with walls. It will effectivly be an excavated chunk of land that is seperate from the main mountain... But I still want to do waterways.

[Heliopios]

Im pretty sure it'll turn out something like this.

[puke]

giant 3d water clocks and useless megascale hydromechanical whatzits!

and silly slogans engraved in 3d on the outside cliff face!

[Peristarkawan]

Once re-walling is in, I want to take a mountain and turn it upside-down.

I look forward to accidentally killing all my dwarves in gruesome and hilarious ways.

I've got a few ideas, but essentially they all require knowledge of exactly how the pumps work and stuff. Hard to pre-design a fort without the components. However...

Originally I was going to make a fort with like an atrium in the center, perhaps a waterfall... But I dunno if that's going to be any good. It doesn't really take advantage of much of the new features.

Another one, I want to build a tower. Yea, a tower. Not one carved in a mountain, but one built on a flatland or so from blocks.

And then it hit me. Castles, here I come!!

For my first fort, I'm planning on creating an Impenetrable Castle of Floating Doom™.

I'm going to do this by flooding the ocean with large amounts of magma to (hopefully) create a new landmass that will be surrounded by water. Then I'll simply use blocks and whatnot to build on top of this new, obsidian landmass.

When all is ready, I'll try and find a way to collapse the obsidian walkway that leads to the artificial island, build a bridge across it and voila, I'll have my Castle of Floating Doom™!

im intending on building a fortress the like has never been seen before!!!

mwahahaha

(like ther floating fortress idea btw)

(edit) how about a deathstar-like construction:
mine a sphere out of the mountain (atm it can only have a radius of 15 tiles) and connect it to the land with a bridge... fill up the bottom section with water:

code:

 (x=land ~=water ==bridge)
              x
             xxx
            xxxxx
           xxxxxxx
          xxxxxxxxx
         xxxxxxxxxxx
        xxxxxxxxxxxxx
=======xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
~~~~~~~~xxxxxxxxxxxxx~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~xxxxxxxxxxx~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~xxxxxxxxx~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~xxxxxxx~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~xxxxx~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~xxx~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~x~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

dont know how well it will work with objects collapsing and stuff like that, but i'll build it anyway

When the 3D version of DF is released I'll be making a version of Bodicetempests ... in 3D! A Proper castle. The mountain will be hollowed away to reveal my grand construction in full.

That's not a moon... It's a dwarf station!

[MindSnap]

I was thinking that I would start in the middle of a plain and build a guard tower with an underground complex. Something like orthanc. I'd probable need to dig out a quarry for the tower, which I would later fill to make myself a lake.

[Anticheese]

Find a nice easy map with plenty of trees nearby, clearcut the forest and play around with the Z-Axis.

Oh, and artificial lakes. Got to have artificial lakes.

Lava showers.

I'll probably end up with a huge, mushroom-like tower.
