It's a fortress! There's stuff in the underground! Strangely-shaped glacier mountain molested by Dwarves! Nearly a dozen dwarves die in magma construction accidents and Giant Cave Swallow attacks!
Check out the POIs to make some sense of this rotten intro paragraph!
Not the sexiest dining room I've ever made, but considering how I created it and that it was originally just a lobby for the bedroom burrows, I think it serves alright.
Confusing? The ramps against the center, smoothed wall lead up to the kitchen area. Tables and chairs of alunite and basalt are placed here and there; this is a small fortress, after all. Many staff worked together to engrave the dining room. The variety of their creations is not...exceptional. Many dwarves surrounded by dwarves. A few masterwork "Dwarf is striking down the Batman, Batman is making a plaintive gesture" marvels are here and there.
The levers may or may not actually control anything anymore, though I suspect they relate to the drawbridges. - Noble Digger

Holy huge embark Batman!
What FPS do you get? I'm seriously impressed by you CPU if you get good FPS on this map.
Really cool map, though, I really like the winding tunnel from the cliff face to the glacierside castle.

You know, this fortress was intended to be my "final DF40 fortress blowout" before Toady finishes the next release... I chose this large embark thinking I'd dick around a bit but it ended up getting good FPS. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 gigs of ram and it runs smoothly at 35+, slowing into the low 20s when dumping is going on. I haven't started moving liquids at all, which is going to CHOKE it.
The fort is playable despite its size because most of that size isn't being used for anything. :D
