The pyramid is now filled with magma, and I've taken the liberty of decorating the front with an appropriate image. Satisfied that my monument was complete, I summoned the king in Autumn 57, and he arrived in Spring 58, complete with his queen (who apparently used to be a Guard), 4 axe lord royal guards, and his Advisor (my former Liaison).
I also decided that I would drain the underground river again and pave the rest of it with obsidian blocks, hoping that it will encourage even denser tower-cap growth.
Now that Wasprag has been promoted to Mountainhome, I ordered my miners to locate and begin excavating the deposits of Raw Adamantine. Having prospected the site before embarking, I know exactly what awaits me - nevertheless, I shall press forward.

Holy crap thats cool. How are you gonna get all that magma there? construct a big pumping tower?

I'll build a pump tower extending all the way to the top of the map, then direct its output into a tube that goes down to ground level, through a short tunnel, and into an opening at the bottom of the pyramid. Pump pressure should allow it to fill all the way to the top.

That's a fantastic fortress. Do the fortifications in the tower cap farm actually drain water?

Absolutely - in fact, that's exactly why I built them.
