I've completed the colosseum and also built a pyramid, but now all of my dwarves are idling again.
I've no worries if there is a siege any time soon - over half my population are in the military (Though many are injured), and at the moment I have 48 champions. I've exported a lot of prepared meals which has pushed my exports up to well over 30k, so I'm hoping (for some reason) to get the king soon.
I dug out some budget rooms on each side, for my poorer dwarves. They're just regular rooms with two beds, so they're good for my more social dwarves. - ryo!

Liking the battlements, what is that road made out of leading east?
Submitted by: ryo! - 2008-09-02 to 215 Early Summer
Bauxite, with small microcline roads either side.

I want to see this Colosseum you're building.

A zombie dragon AND a zombie hydra..!? Upload that fight!
And nice map, a lot of neat ideas here.

I think your pyramid needs a gold top.
Also, yay Colosseum!

Woo Gold capped pyramid!
I'd like to see what happens with that temple you're building. Are you going to keep the second floor curved at all?

Are the buildings at the ground z level, northeast corner of your fortress green houses?
Submitted by: pharoah - 2008-09-21 to 221 Early Summer
by the way i love your fortress!

I'm not really going to change the temple at all (Apart from removing the three staircases at the sides).
And those (phyllite) bridges are basically greenhouses - I don't really need them there, but it makes it easier to access the doors to the northeast.

What I think you need is a giant underground construction. You already have loads of aboveground buildings and you are running out of stone, so why not dig out a gigantic pit or other elaborate structure to throw your goblins into. Or even better you could dig out an underground cathedral like this one: Ectosack

Use the format: [map=3036] for internal links, sorry about that.

...I'm new, so I might be mistaken, but do I see some sort of goblin prison on the surface??
Submitted by: ryo! - 2008-09-29 to 222 Mid Summer
Heh, it's actually the aftermath of a goblin ambush - though sieges always require me to increase the size of my refuse stockpile.

Loved the road :-) when was the fort founded?
Submitted by: ryo! - 2008-10-17 to 226 Early Winter
I can't actually remember, but fortunately my dwarves can - according to the engravings in the fort, Twolancers was founded in the early spring of 212.
