After turn nine, Syff's third
That crazy bastard Syff decided to start mining the aquifer. He figured out he could just dig a central channel for all the water to drain into the next level of the aquifer to allow dwarves to smooth the walls, and then when he got through all the levels of aquifer, he set up a pump to dump the water from the bottom level of the aquifer... back into a separate hole in the top level of the aquifer.
All the miners are capable swimmers now. They are constantly spamming dangerous-terrain interruptions of their jobs and being washed away into the drains, then swimming back out and trying again. - Kanddak

That's the smallest "mountain" I've seen. And it's got all the goodies as well. Also, you know you're going to have to do the fort name some justice with that bottomless pit there, don't you? ;)

Yeah, I'm playing it as a succession with my brother and a friend.
The first time we tried to embark, the wagon started right next to the chasm amidst a swarm of batmen. All dwarves were drafted to fight them; three tackled batmen and pulled them down into the chasm, and the others went insane shortly afterwards.
That was also one region tile to the east, where it caught the corner of a giant cave which made this a 6x9 site. This was vetoed for reasons of potential FPS problems, despite the awesomeness of the cave.

The "Magma" PoI in 110 is a really cool view.

110, that's some mammoth construction going on.

Love the giant lava bucket, you must struggle with FPS issues when all those pumps are running :O
