I usually start with one or two, depending on available space, using a third level for accesses and mechanical, if it won't fit on the first level.  As my fortresses expand, the level usage can begin to expand quite quickly, as workshops and more and more storage space becomes necessary.  In time, I start on megaprojects and computing setups that use up more and more space, leading to 10-Z-level forts with actual use on each Z-Level.  Generally, in a developed fort, about 40-50% of the floorspace is storage, since I throw nothing away.

As a note, the best computing system available is mechanical- just use pump+pressurepad for your rotation sensor, since mechanics are the fastest and most predictable (and least buggy) mechanical devices.

Unib appears unclaimed according tot he first post, I"ll take her.  Her personality is basically my own and she evens like mechnaics and such, like me XD

No need to rename her, but if the profession could be "Mechanical Engineer" please,  

Wow.  Fale sure is one heck of a tough Kobold.  Also, this is quite a ☼Story☼.  Not much else I can say about it, since I have no critiscms.

..Why not just find a mountainous area, then dig out all but a few of the mountain tiles and build your fort around it.  Voila, instant in-the-sky farmable (once muddied) land!

Yes, they do, unfortunately.

i can confirm that legendary meals do not produce negative thoughts when eaten, I have a couple of legendary cooks in my fortress, and neither has dropped from 'ecstatic' since about a month after coming here.

Yeah, waaay too many stones.

my fortress has over 6800 of them ._.
