This is my fortress, Sezukastesh, which is Dwarvish for "Slap-cudgels." Founded by an expedition led by our first and current mayor, Äs Alåthrithlut, he is serving his second term.
Sezukastesh is high above a sheer cliff with a brook and a magma vent. We have an indoor pool complete with turtles, with a working well. All the precious mugs for the Mountainhomes are guarded by our very own guard-cow. Additional security provided by our sole axedwarf, Feb Bållorbam. We also have waterless indoor farming, and a steady rum and syrup production. And best of all, Half of the population gets a bed, free of charge!!!
So come in and have a look around, be careful not to step on the sleeping homeless.
This map actually goes 5 levels deeper and 9 levels higher, but they were omitted due to the lack of interesting things on those levels.
( 1053 Early Spring → 1054 Late Winter )
This is a road from the cliff to ground level. No one is allowed beyond the cliff edge at this time so the project is on hold. The trap door works fine, as our test subject (Armok rot his soul) had demonstrated. But it seems as the pit needs to be deeper because he survived the ordeal twice before his untimely death. - Klokjammer

At the base of a twisty series of ramps* ... do you not like using stairs? :) Will you build a barricade across your front entrance? A draw bridge perhaps? Neat fort, good location!

I tend to imagine some ramps as a straight flight of stairs, like the the steps in front of the U.S. Capitol. The "twisty ramps" to me are like a larger scale version twisty stairs. But nonetheless, it has the same effects of a straight stairwell in that dwarves seem to instantly traverse them regardless of height.

It's OK, All I needed to do was restart my web browser. I managed to post it almost a minute after commenting.
Could've been worse, I could've sent you a 4 paragraph badly written email about it. Now that would be embarrassing. :þ
