i actually have a question regarding the king. does him making your fortress a "mountain home" actually have any use, or is it just a pointless thing that his arrival does?

You don't get dwarven caravans any more, since they come from the mountainhome and you're the mountainhome.

ISNT THAT A BAD THING!?!

(ie: no need for doors on any shops other than butchers and tanners to keep miasma from spreading if you accidentll leave out dead animal skins)

What about strange moods?

So what your saying is that the main advantage to there being a fire is that I won't get another fire in a while...Sort of redundant, but gives me an idea for THE MOST AWESOME TRAP OF ALL TIME!!! People like to brag about there cute little lava traps, I think setting the entire landscape on fire would be more effective.

your not the only one to come up with the idea.  I've already built a magma flood system that floods over half my entire map with magma. 
  its REALLY Fun to use. 

i have and am working on a few mini-projects:
      -im going to make an ice skating rink with the water "stone" you get in winter".
      -I made them a swimming pool in my kings bathroom.
      -I Made a large message board out of gabbro and orthoclase that says "RUN!" outside my
        fortress.
      -Though its not technically a mini-project because it has a use, i built a magma flooding
        system that enflames half my map.
      -In the proccess of building a small temple (not giving it any uses)

Ok, ive pretty much got the entire system hooked up and it looks like its going to work fine.  i do have two questions though....


1.  will a pump adjacent to a pump be powered by the gear assembly powered by the gear assembly powering the other pump? 

 ex:     wwwwwww
           +++%%Ow  <-- will this pump run off the gear assembly?
           +++%%Ow
          wwww *ww 


2. will a pump pump the magma if the space its pumping the liquid from is a staircase?
  (im pretty sure it does but just wanted to be sure)   

  ex:                wwwwwww
        above:     +++%%>w 
                      wwwwwww         

                      wwwwwww
        below:     w<++++++
                      wwwwwww


key:
+ = floor         
%% = pump
w = wall           
> = downward staircase
< = upward staircase 
* = gear assembly
O = open space

There's no way people have the self control not to grab page 1000.

thats right. and i know whos going to get it

EDIT: fail for sagabal, he was beat by 6 seconds
