That is so beautiful! I can only imagine that any fortress with a huge magma-feature looks somewhat like that. Amazing!

You know, I'd love to take a journey into one of the really exceptional quality dwarven fortresses we have on the DFMA. With an armed escort and a few floodlights, of course.

Right now Rampages seem to be Godzilla quietly walking into Tokyo, biting the leg off of one reporter... then creeping off again without a sound.

The crossbow squad, 'The Bolts of Fleeing' wouldn't even show up.
I have an art blog now.

And a armed escort for your armed escort, also dogs, lots and lots of dogs.

Dogs? You'd practically need an army of war dragons just to get inside

Pfft, dragons are overrated. And dags can be surprisingly effective at zerg rushing the enemy into submission. But anyway, point.

Just have the human liaison scout out the traps for you first, and bring lots of crossbows. You'll be fine.

I was kind of sad when I saw that the picture didn't actually have any magma. It would have been incredibly awesome if it did.

Why settle for that when you can have the real thing

First picture looks like something out of lord of the rings, if you squint and look really carefully you can just make out the outline of an elf. It's what my fortress would look like if it was real life.

Is magma gonna count as a light-source in future version?
It would be awesome to use magma to illuminate your entire fortress, with MAGMA .

If a elf dies in a forest and only dwarfs are around to see it does anyone care?
