Let me tell you about a mountainhome of Drilledtraded, my second long-term fort. This is a fort of a lead zeppelin, a copper tortoise and many more wonders. I made an imgur album, here it is: http://imgur.com/a/HkT6u

If you read Russian, you can also read about this fort at http://vadim-proskurin.livejournal.com/tag/drilledtraded

Hope you will like it.

Dwarf Fortress: "I had to build a temporary soap bridge to rescue wounded dwarves who had fallen onto the turtle's head."

This is amazing, vp. I already said that but I still haven't said it enough.

EDIT: And reading further "We had to build it out of [the most valuable material in existence] because we ran out of soap."

"The upper part of the tortoise is filled with magma."

8/8. 100% dorfy. I definitely approve of this tortoise.

Seriously though, all of it is freaking amazing. Great job! I should try some simple megaproject at some point, they seem like fun. Maybe something like a pyramid. :)

"It's a bad place, there's nothing to do here." Hah, incidentally I did manage to get a few screenshots from a big supercollapse magma piston in stonesense some time ago:

Fun read, interesting that you translate minecarts and tracks to railroad, but your english is fine.
