Find the pictures of the fortress to vote for here:

I'm making this a 10-day vote.

I know Sowelu said he wasn't submitting it for vote, but I thought it was good enough to do so any ways.  He put it into the judging area, so I'll let the community judge!

Um, but Sowelu did it with invasions disabled (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=45908.msg923121#msg923121). Not sure if it fits "UNmodded" criteria.

It's black as pitch 'cause we're trapped by our violent souls
In a deep mine, where deep rhymes won't keep my self-control
Too many foes, we feel snakebit, and we won't take it
Enemies need their face hit, we goin' ape shit!

Changing init settings isn't modding the game. :P

True, editing the init isnt a form of modding. Not only that, it was probably necessary to turn off invasion and other time/fps consuming game elements to make the deadline with anything good at all.

I tried to do so without, had a fun time with things like beak dogs masacring immigrants and 'a dwarf sprung from ambush!' into a cage trap. hostile dwarf axe lord in cage anyone?

But I only got the towers basin and first 4 z-levels done the day before the deadline, so yeah, for strict deadlines you will need either init settings changed or a lot of spare time and coffee.

Dude, that was covered in the other thread.  Besides, if there was only one guy in "unmodded", he'd automatically win.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

And that would be no fun, since all it would have taken to win would be a "tower" consisting of 1 wall of soap.
