It's not a natural pit, but one I dug out. The borders are defined by the terrain though. There is going to be a little plaza at the bottom eventually.
Thanks ajr, I was really enjoying this fortress myself. Sadly, an Orcish siege in the winter of 189 caused several deaths and instigated a tantrum spiral. I have since found that reclaiming a lost fort leaves friendly Orcs on the map, and that kind of killed the mood for me.
Oddly enough, the fortress doesn't look that impressive in Visual Fortress. Perhaps it was my whole "don't disturb the mountain" philosophy, but the fortress doesn't stand out that much when rendered by VF.
You can check it out yourself if you're interested:

Movie starts off right after the ambush is detected. A hostile marksdwarf rushes ahead while three goblins charge into the chamber. Had a siege cohort tried this, there would have been much more blood, but even still, it was fun to watch.

Cool. Its always nice to see other people enjoying my tileset. I guess you weren't a fan of the matching graphic set though?

Hey, this is Plac1d's graphics set isn't it?
I'm a big fan of his work myself, but what tileset and resolution are you using?

Is that a waterfall running down your central staircase? And to where will it go?

Is this a bug? Or is the game modded? What's going on here?

Awesome. I'm loving that deadly courtyard fortification there.

A beautiful and well executed fortress! Also, I love the mosaics. Any relation to the zodiac going on there?
