Trying one of those undercity things. This is after the first year so the actual cave isn't finished at all, though you can see the outline in most of the empty levels.
( 108 Early Spring → onwards )
The workshops are all organized into guild-like buildings, and each guild will (probably) have a leader, the member with the highest skill. It should mostly be easy to tell which guild is which here. - xpCynic

Your layers sort of take the shape of an amoeba.

I love your idea of using gem windows to represent street torches. Very clever!

I like this idea, maybe i'll try a big cave after my underwater fort =D
Submitted by: Barbarossa - 2009-02-22 to 109 Early Spring

Started on third level as of this comment. One of the ambushing marksgoblins was walking around near my miner - possibly the tensest moment I've ever faced!

I like the "natural" shape of the place. Just noticing your purple cloud of miasma. You can sort your refuse so that the rotten stuff goes to a small, sealed room, and then have massive open-air storage of all the bones. The rotten stuff clears out pretty fast, and the miasma always stays away from the populace.
Submitted by: Barbarossa - 2009-02-25 to 111 Early Spring
remember- miasma cannot move diagonally!

Lookin' Good so far... This'll be epic once the floors are gone and the roofscrapers are left to stand alone =D

This looks great! I really like the concept.

I enjoy the idea of guilds.
Submitted by: Barbarossa - 2009-03-12 to 113 Early Spring
Good job so far, I can wait till it's done!
Submitted by: Barbarossa - 2009-03-14 to 114 Early Spring
nice, this cave will be hugely awesome!
Submitted by: Barbarossa - 2009-03-23 to 115 Early Spring
Can't wait to see the new front gate.
Submitted by: Barbarossa the Seal God - 2009-04-03 to 116 Early Spring
Nice gate!!!
if you need progress to go faster, just change your dwarves' speed to 1 in the raw files.
They'll still need to eat and drink and sleep, but hauling and building goes a jillion times faster.

Oh wow... you hollowed out all that space inside the mountain and then built upwards. Monumental work.

Very, very cool. I especially like the Capitol building, the castle of nobility and the central square. Might just have to steal one or two of ze ideas for my latest fortress :p
