Combined World - 1029 Mid Summer by ricemastah

Map Description:

Battleheart 1029

Part of the world of forts I'm making. For this one I wanted to focus on waterfalls/water features for my fortress. That also means glass will be very important for me as well. Still cheating mainly to speed up the process.

Not sure what to start next. I'm contemplating either the baroness' rooms and related things, or the main pool area. Or the coliseum. I want to have open waterfalls in the coliseum, but I'm afraid that I might not handle the inflow/outflow properly and lead to an eventual flooding of the area. But at the same time I feel the pillars in the throne room are kinda a cheap way to use water.

Point of Interest: Pool Of Reflection

( 1029 Mid Summer → onwards )

Well this was supposed to be a nice pool where my dwarves could hang out and contemplate their existence. Instead they decide that the entrance hall is the perfect place to jump to their deaths. All my melancholy dwarves except for one have ended up falling to their doom here. Also dwarven mothers give birth to their babies up at the top... most of the babies born up there fall to their deaths. I think 2 have died so far due to this, and by that I mean babies. The melancholy ones I have lost track of. - ricemastah

Gone a bit overboard with the engravings, have we?

Needs smoothing of the surface.

I want everything in the fort to be a masterpiece. In some sense that sort of includes engravings. Right now they are all exceptional and master piece. Should I construct over all of the non-masterpiece engravings and then re-engrave them? It would be ridiculous and worthy of the game. But at the same time would be extremely time-consuming because with 200+ dwarves my fps is extremely low. I am unsure of how to proceed at this point. Any ideas guys?

Engrave EVERYTHING in the fort and then you will have a masterpiece. Line the halls with master piece golden statues decorated with goblin king bone, fill the water with melted silver and have silver water. And then, submerge the whole thing in lava and seal it off to never see the light of day again.
