My first upload to the archive. This fortress features a hammer-shaped Founders' Hall, with the (deceased) expedition leader entombed in the head of the hammer. The forge area down below will soon be anvil-shaped.
I'm really proud of this kitchen layout. Every workshop is adjacent to the stockpiles that feed it, so that empty barrels are never more than a few tiles away.
The northwest farm grows barrel plants: sweet pods for syrup and all other plants to booze. The southeast grows bag plants: quarry bush, pig tail, and cave wheat.
The powder and syrup ingredients for meals end up working their way towards the kitchens from the farm as an assembly line, and none of it is more than a short hauler trip to the Trade Depot. - Jurph

Thanks! The two north-south wings flanking the hammer are going to be capped off with magma pools to make them look like torches. The magma pools will have the added benefit of being usable for glass-making on the next floor up.

Nice fort. How long have you been playing?

I've been playing Dwarf Fortress since the second-to-last 2D version was released, quit briefly after a siege, and started again when the 3D version came out.

Grand efforts... I can see you're used to playing in 2D - the Level 14 shapes might look even better if they spanned a few z-levels. Height and depth can be used to great effect.
