seriously, bad ass tower. what tool did you use for the graphics on those pics?
the way fluids act, you will never fill the whole mold with obsidian, no matter how you do it

I don't understand what you mean. There's no reason it shouldn't work.
Good luck with your Dwarven Tower of Obsidian.
That raises a question- is this how goblins make their towers. ..
Personally, I say you should remove the mold and then engrave the outside of the tower.

3-deep magma is enough to solidfy a square into solid rock with water.
I would think he would use waterwheels fed by a floodgate linked to a lever. :/
Personally, I agree that you should engrave every inch of the outside, while leaving the inside perfectly smooth (excepting the rooms for nobility.) Every fifth floor however, you should carve out a small 1 tile room for a masterwork (and only masterwork quality!)steel or gold statue that faces the outside world on every face of the tower. Obviously this little aclove should be engraved and have no obvious egress into the tower.
Also, the top floor should have a Museum with all of your artifact buildings built inside, and all of your artifact crafts/weapons in individual stockpiles without bins.

Instead of statues, make them masterwork metallic (gold/steel/platinum/aluminum) decorated cages and put a goblin in each one. Let their screams try to warn off any goblins who are foolish to siege your tower! What is worse than abusing the bodies of the dead, then using the living as decorations?
basically build the tower 1 lever at a time at each z level, instead of from the top. This would have prevented such hilarious accidents as you mentioned. but the engineering may have made it infeasible.
Still good luck with it :)
Fill in the tower as normal, and keep those squares unmined. Heck, smooth 'em and engrave them.
Every support pillar should have a goblin trapped in it!
I noticed my champions started dying of thirst, and when I found them they were stuck behind the goblin pit, and nothing I tried could dislodge them. I got frustrated and abandoned the fortress. Bah.

Hehe, I noticed that too, great isn't it?
*Deep breath* NNN....
(Several planets away, 900 years later, a long, mournful scream is heard echoing from the cosmos.)
Way too dramatic.
