A lot has changed in 3 years, the great (well not that great) marble gate is almost ready, as is the future kings chambers, if I actually manage to get a king that is :).
Also found out that I can't have tower-caps unless I have an underwater lake or river, so next up is a lot of exploratory mining to see if I actually have one. I also do not know whether I have adamantine so that'd be nice to find out too. Both are unfortunately highly unlikely :(.
( 57 Early Spring → 60 Early Summer )
The gate is almost finished, it's nothing spectacular but I felt like I needed one. Still a few stones missing and I might make a 10 level sacrificial drop zone from the room at the top. There's never enough those - Syanide

Very nice, i love your entrance and your housing complex just looks really great.
How many years are you in?
Submitted by: Syanide - 2008-07-20 to 55 Late Spring
The fort was founded in the spring of year 50 so 5th year. (Thanks for reminding me that was missing so added it to the info :P)

No prob :) Didn't realize you were still editing your entry. Also really like the tombs btw. Nice symetry

Yeah, had to learn how to use this site while I was at it :p.
Thanks, I myself prefer looks over efficiency for pretty much everything I do in df.

Hi what tileset and graphic set are you using love the design by the way will be checking on this one.
Submitted by: Syanide - 2008-07-21 to 55 Late Spring
It's actually Mike Mayday tileset, available at http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/~mayday/df.htm .
There's a couple of problems when I switched to 39c but it works for me. While I wait for Mayday to release a version for 39c at least.

If anyone has any ideas of what to build next (with marble). I'd appreciate them.
Submitted by: Markavian - 2008-07-31 to 60 Early Spring
Build two 4x6 guard towers either side of the marble gates that are at least as tall as the gates with fairytail spires and crenulations... then create a deep wall betweem them and the gates, and divert the river maybe?
The kings cross is most impressive.

Thank you Markavian for your suggestions, I have begun draining the river to reroute it at a later time and to make room for guard towers. This will make a couple of years go flying past again :).

Nice fort, that entrance is very stylish.
Submitted by: Syanide - 2008-09-25 to 63 Early Autumn
Thanks.
In other news, the fort died to starvation yesterday :(. I have begun constructing another fortress on a different location on the same map so this one shall be frozen for quite some time.

Apart from the starvation, should you come back to this fortress:
I am a big fan of the king's cross. I think the hallways to his rooms are a bit lengthy and the magma down there is cool, but I worry about the magma pressure from the volcano.
Speaking of volcano, statue park? arena?
