This i have tried.
Be careful, the magma in the pipe need to go somewhere when that amount of stone falls down, burned 4 miners to death and surounded the entire area aroun the magma pipe with magma.

Isn't there an editor one could use just for the sake of it, to turn solid built area into stone, I mean if you have actually built the tower that wouldn't be much of a cheat.

Yes i posted a question simular to this before, if the same would be true for built walls. But i think they deconstruct as the fall.

Ok. Need to replan... Lost 40!!!! dwarves this sigie. Redesign in progress. Next time i will flood the main corridor with magma...

efter a large dig 4 of my miners got rock in their head and died. This resulted in the mayor having a tantrum, destroying the bridge to the food chamber. Dwarves quickly started to starve, and with hunger came more anger and violence. During this hard time I got two ambushes from large goblin parties. Assembling the few dwarves I had, I drove them off, sadly the majority of my army got criticaly hurt, with no food, all working men hurt, there where only two dwarves left fit to work, one miner and a female fish cleaner, the miner snaped, took his pick axe and killed all the hurt dwarves. During this time the fish cleaner gave birth to a boy. The Miner, done with his task started to hunt the Fish Cleaner, over bridges, trough stairs, this ended on top of the highest ledge in the town. Where no where left to run, the miner killed the fish cleaner and her baby. Leaving him alone in his new home of death and decay.

To the ruin around fortress idea.

Didn't toady mention that you can start in a town, not sured if he "fixed" that or not. If you can, why not do that, dig your self down, build your fort, build a army and return outside to kill everyone + destory the city. Automatic ruins.  

I hacked out one square of aquafier and to my suprise that was enough to attract one of my fisherdwarves to pull up turtle after turtle...

But thats kind of OT.

Same issue here. Happend shortly after the Bathroom murdures. Tried to build a bathroom but let to much water in. They won't drown, but they will complain and feel bad at the bottom of the pool.

I hope this get fixed soon.  

found out...
