Sparkgear 4 after nil's turn. The year was pretty uneventful other than a couple artifact creations, but the fortress expanded in several ways.
Right now the magma cannon is a little slow and doesn't have much area, I only killed a since orc with it. If you don't use the floodgates, abandon and empty the pillboxes (you don't want to loose all the bone bolts in there) and make some sort of blockage and/or drainage for the secondary entrance path it may be more effective, although it probably needs some sort of reservoir as well.
You'll also need to repair the stuff pointed out in the POI "Repair this!" - _nil_

Why is there a huge area hollowed out under the mountain?

One of the earlier players was going to build a big temple in there, but I guess he was interrupted by orcs or a tandrum spiral or something and lost the fort. One or two reclaims later and its just another entry in Sparkgear's long tradition of "half-built and/or looted vanity projects that dwarves never use and other players just build around."

Pretty cool how huge that miasma is you can see it from the side view well. I'd like to see this in Visual Fortress.
