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!
How lucky to have an enormous plot of underground soil just waiting to be carved out! I planned this room around the patch of soil and the rest of the fort followed. 10x10 plots, one for each type of plant.
The fortress' main stone dump is there in the center, by the twelve staircases. You can see the trade depot and fortress lobby to the west, and the smoothed path into the vaulted-ceiling dining hall. Staircases in the farm plot rooms lead down to various workshops, though these are not the only paths down. - 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
