Well a long time ago someone suggested an ocean side building contest and I had to build as complete a fort as I could under water, out of green glass.
It tooka few itterations to get this working but simplest is best. The floor is lined with rock too and the water is magically potable after being pumped into here.
Overflows in the cistern just west and a bit south of here caused the water there to touch virgin soil and become unpotable. - AWDBall

Wuuhh, this looks like quite an engineering acheivement... you've built your whole fortress under the surface of the ocean, and then flooded around it?

Yup, that's exactly what I was shooting for. Though of course, having finished the bulk of it now I have designs on how I would do it better. I could have in fort farming working with a bit of planning. and by being just a tiny bit sleazy and moving the coast line in a bit I could include some of the sand and outdoor farming too.
It was my response to the oceanic building challenge.

This is creepy and crazy, but utterly impressive.
