Your asking about dwarfiness and then talking about not wanting to show the gore??? O.o
Fair point.
I now need to do this.
No, wait, I think I'll just build myself a mountain, rather than just go looking for one. It's much easier to find a flat area. That being said, it's far dwarfier to flatten a mountainous area and then build a mountain, methinks, so it really doesn't matter where I embark at all.
And on the plus side, by flattening a mountain you'll have SCADS of useful stone. Simply carving out working space around the 4-story, 12-radius circular tower I started with produced something like 1200 siltstone and various other ores and gems. Granted, (if my math is correct) the single-layer sky-pasture itself will take over 50,000 stone...
so, Update:
- The initial launch of this project failed. Mistakes were made. A replacement site was found south of the crater, and work restarted.
- The predominant color of the fortress as it currently stands is BROWN (siltstone), with small patches of red (bauxite) and yellow (limonite).
- Though there is an abundance of bubble bulb, there are in fact NO unicorns. I may leave the BB pasture just for grins, though, as the 'graphics' for it look so bizarre.
- The planned layout of the Dwarven Arcology was actually too large for the 4x embark point I chose, so the design has been modified to expand more organically. As Armok is my witness, I didn't realize a 255x255-tile "footprint" was THAT all-encompassing.
