I also have a dare for your fort, if it's feasible;  Channel down all the way from the surface, into hell over the farm, and grow sunberries or strawberries as the final insult to the local demons.

Possibly feasible.  We could only pull it off  if the candy spires have a straight z-shaft from hell to the rock.  Of course, caverns make engineering a neccessity.  And at the end of the day you'd only have a 2x2 plot of strawberries if your lucky.

Still.  It's dwarfy as hell.

[Luzahn]

Well, you could go 1x1, and just have a lone berry.  Mocking them.

Is it possible to solidify the lava sea? with a river or aquifer?

That's pretty much what i meant.  I doubt you could get much bigger than that unless you got VERY lucky with the spire's layout

Imagine making a stone wall, in hell, completely engraved with pictures involving demons, dying, in a fetal position, crying, etc. 

The Wall of Shame.

Scoreboard!

On a side note, Deathgate needs an excerpt for the Hall of Legends.

You mean like a tagline or quote?

I always thought:

"Welcome to Deathgate, home of the Doomburger, may I take your order?"

was the tagline of this awesome fortress.

...

Is it really possible to, I dunno, mod in doomburgers? 

[AnimaRytak]

I mean a short of description of what Deathgate is and what we've done.

Something like

"In a world where triple amputation is minor inconvenience and the last dwarven king was punched to death by a bronze colossus, the dwarven kingdom of the Basement of Murder sends the seven dwarves to found a new stronghold and tasked them with doing the impossible.  To colonize Hell."

I also like this:

I've really run this fort into the ground.  Half the military is dead or insane from the horrors of hell, six or so forsaken beasts are locked away in the caverns,  the road into Deathgate has been painted with troll blood,  we've slaughtered about 400 innocent animals via liberal application of a boot to the ass, a deer with its liver hanging out of its chest after two siege bolts to the face is still scaring the piss out of people using the old doom-bridge, and we have about a dozen ghosts routinely harassing our dwarves since I can't find or reach their corpses.  As I speak, lava is pouring down the side of the mountain in the hopes it burns some of those damned goblins sieging us to death or at least drives them towards the troll-blood bridge.  On the flip side, Armok's temple is almost complete and we've stolen enough goods from the humans to piss them off for a good decade. 

If anyone can come up with a good one, feel free to share.  Deathgate's madness is nigh impossible to describe in human tongues.

I vote for this.

Does no-one else find it ironic that a fort that struck out to colonize hell is a member of a government called "The Basement of Murders"?

In retrospect, that is a hilarious coincidence.
I'm sorta kicking myself for not noticing that connection before.

[ThatAussieGuy]

If i can, can i get dwarfed as "That Aussie Dwarf" with the title "Noticer of Things"?

[Eoganachta]

Rashinod Okbodgeshud: A Dwarven Stronghold-turned-hellspawn-resort where Insanity and Triple Amputation are household names and Demons are something that squat on your lawn. It is a place only Armok could love. Welcome to Deathgate the Doom-Fortress, where Hell is just another prefecture.

"Deathgate:  Is it warm down here, or is it just me?"

[Umune]

Deathgate: It's living (in) Hell.

[AnimaRytak]

Those are all fine tag lines but that's not what we need.  We need a little blurb that'll get people going "Well that's interesting".
