Hey, about the dry dock thingie, wouldn't it be easier to simpliy dig out a rectangle (only the edges) over multiple levels, digging straight down, then dig out the lowest level completely and have the whole thing collapse?

I votes for the 24. deadlinethingy cuz I can has mor time please?

My fellow citizens had a few fireimprelated problems including two reclaims, 3 dozen dead dwarfs, about 7 legendary fully named imps (those friggin dudes repopulated the volcano during reclaims), a FIREMAN-ambush, and some weird situations resulting in my mayor actually "doesn't care about anything anymore", so I didn't had the chance to start the challengerelated construction site untill now.   :)

Indeed the magma creatures cause a little problem.

I've jsut finally moved all my units underground and exposed a little of the ocean floor, I could be another week actualy finishing it though.

It appears that no one is done. One week appears to be too short of a time frame. I have managed to get the foundations of my own work done, having failed 7 different attempts at a functional plan for my ten bridges of the Spire  ;)

Still a few hours to go. I do believe though that since there are not enough entries for the first deadline, the extended deadline applies. Hopefully some fortresses are made for this by then.

Well many moons late but here's what I just finished spending WAY TOO much time working on:
http://mkv25.net/dfma/poi-4245-themainhall

My "entry" is an under water fort complex built entirely out of green glass. Yeah the date should be something like 1099 but I cheated by speeding up my dwarves or I would have never survived the times when the ocean was breached into the aquifer.

If there's any interest I could post about 8 more points in the history of the fort into the map archive to show some of the trials and tribulations of Taxedearthen.

Darn, you beat me to it!  Silly "work" getting in the way of my glory.  I got as far as having all 1500 glass blocks and 400 windows on hand, and training my miners to swim.  Next step was to build the water destruction mechanism.
