In the past, i already attempted a tower fort, but never finished it. This time, instead of scaling it down so it is easier, i decided to go the full way and build a whole castle. All fortress walls are marble blocks, while building walls, inner walls and floors use wood blocks.
The whole fort is aboveground and i am trying to shape it like a village, with several areas ( see points of interest). The goal is not only to finish it, but get a king and start a good, working economy and giving a job to each of the 200+ dwarves I have (in 463 I am below that number, due to a small problem involving water, drinks and tantrums)
All the stone blocks must come from somewhere, right? well, here is where i mine all the marble. Usually on semi-total aboveground forts I use aboveground mines too, channeling the ground through all the layers I need.
But due to the freezing environment, i just didn't want to be cruel against my dwarves this time. I am cruel only when i get any benefit from it.
tunnels are 6 tiles wide, to avoid ( hopefully) cave ins. If they were still in the game, of course. - andrea

Awesome fortress. I started a new fort and am making a modified layout of your castle. Hopefully I can get a map of it up soon.
