[Frumple]

So the basic concept -- build a massive, multi-story wall all along your map's edge and set up dwarf-camp somewhere on top of it, then completely hollow out (except the wall's supporting ground, o'course) the map down to the lowest point... and flood the place.  Ideally, you'd want to end up with at least twenty levels completely submerged.

And then the questions:

How would one go about getting the needed water?  Aquifer flood?  Ocean map?  Super-high mountain river coming from off the maps' edge?  

Can it be done with baseline dwarves, or would something more specialized (Carp-men! Thinking manta-ray? Octo-dwarves...) be needed?  

Finally, outside of massive amounts of wood/stone (for the walls), what would be needed, material wise, to actually live on top of this newly created uberlake?

I've got a few ideas, but some input from folks more familier with the fortress building process would be wonderful!
