wow thanks for sharing your fort with us your setup is very good : o

also if you want use spoilers ( [SPOILER] ) for the images if they are too big

Yes, I know, but the spoiler thing wouldn't work. How exactly does the BBcode for spoilers work?

Also, some more stuff happened: about 5 dwarves died from speeding minecarts, there was a lot of blood & gored limbs, so I stopped the project. Now a dwarf can guide the minecarts until I figure out how to set it up.

Remember those "bog corpses" in the channel? Well: a tower cap from below punctured the floor of the channel and it drained out. My mines are now flooded at the lowest level, but I managed to stop it. I retrieved part of the corpses.

Towercaps and other underground trees are killing me: everything inside the walls has almost collapsed now. I started a new fort on this PC.

My new starting dwarves are completely different: I used to give them starting skills such as masonry, carpentry, mining, ... but now I gave them skills like 'consoler' (for a good leader), appraiser, and also more military skills.

When are you going to show us YOUR fortress?
