A small fortress I'm working on. Tell me how insane it is. The pressure plate and lever are both hooked up to the same thing, a vertical bar by all the other ones. The pressure plate's one use (actively being replaced for a one-use one, actually), and I hope it'd keep creeps out.
I built on a brook because it's always nice to have fishing access during a siege. Nice food supply.
If you want the region, I'll upload it on my Mediafire every time I post, so you can D/L it and play with it. Lots of hacking, I'll admit.

You'll also want the raw objects, I've slightly modified Dwarves and also the Reactions (free coal, because I built on an aquifer and felt entitled to it). There's also a ghost race, the Istari (yes, I am a LoTR nerd) that aren't quite working. They're mentioned, though.

Any advice is very much appreciated.
This is the bar that the pressure plate raises, to be lowered by the lever. - Erathoniel

I'd be tempted to pave the courtyard on the surface to stop sand being walked everywhere.
The vanity decoration looks better from the air.
Reveal all kinda spoils things. Is it useful? Was it worth it?

I don't wanna pave, it takes too many resources.
I've never had problems with the current fortifications, if the dwarves would stay close to home.
Recently, thieves have all been massacred by my archers, or helpful woodcutters or whatnot. I don't remember for sure, but they all die.

Loved the memorial, specially the "one flaw" :-)

Actually, it was more a flaw in my construction planning, but I felt it was suitable.
Next update could take a while. I had a save error where I saved, and then loaded directly into a crash. Fortunately, I have backups.
