Pisano, would you be willing to upload the map? It'd be good to capture the (hopefully) post-plague fortress.
Yep, yep.  I'd like to take a closer look myself anyway.  Will do it presently.

Map of ArdentDikes, Spring 1060 posted on DF Map Archive after DuckThatQuack's turn.  I'll add some points of interest to it as well.

From a quick look through there are a lot of parts of the fortress that are, at least as of yet, not immersed in magma.

That was amazing, Duck.  I'm pretty sure if I were in charge the fortress would have crumbled.

The 3 FPS scares me though.

It got better, and is back up to 20 or so.

Already done, I probably should've said something though.

Sure, Blurk, welcome!

And it looks like zlurker hasn't been on since the 11th, so we're on to Mono124. PM Sent.

Yay, I get to cause major disasters.  :P

EDIT: I do know that I will get my turn done within the week, but I probably won't be posting a journal log until everything is done. I have a lot of school work to do and it seems to be more time effective to do a journal all at once.

EDIT2: ARGH!!! I am so sad and depressed. I opened Ardentdikes and saw wondrous things that I could do with it! I hit the unpause button and...... My FPS was 1. 1 FPS. ONE! I am going to have to abdicated and wait until it seems the fort might run at 10FPS+ on my computer.  :'(

I'm sorry that I brought time to a standstill.

Although, my computer is over four years old, and I still get 18-20 FPS. I assume you waited a bit, and it didn't get better?

Edit: Fixed grammar.

Yeah I waited an hour or so after I posted it was unplayable but it only rose to 4 FPS. My computer isn't really old but windows is always eating a massive amount of my CPU for some weird reason.

Looks like it's Blark's turn.  I can run it at about 40 FPS on my machine, if Blark has issues I might take a turn and try and clean it up a bit.

You might want to make an emergency kill switch linked to one of the gear assemblies on the magma pumps, and put it inside of Lesser Ardentdikes. The current switch is built on a plateau overlooking Greater Ardentdikes, which was a nice, dramatic place to put it, but not very good from a tactical standpoint. Also, it's only hooked up to the floodgate, so if a building destroyer pulls down the doors on the pump stack, it won't stop magma from spilling out.

Though if you pull a lever hooked up to a gear assembly, the windmill above it will collapse, so it should be for emergency use only.

Other than that, I have no specific suggestions. Keeping the fort alive sounds like a good plan.

You're in a pretty good position to do some obsidian casting above-ground. Adding an aqueduct into the mix and cooling the top-level magma when you're ready to cut the flow off could let you rebuild the upper levels as a Dark Fortress.

Past that, my hope is that you can start a reclaim of Greater Ardentdikes before your year is out.
