Personal Goals for this Fort?

[phrost]

So, to hopefully stave off the ADD effect and keep the board active, what are *your* personal goals for the fort? Specific goals for your next game-year, and overall goals for what you'd like to accomplish (or see accomplished) in the fort?

I'll start:
For me, I'd like to a) get a boring and functional fort up and running. Something that could be sealed off from the world, and continue on in blissful ignorance for ages. Once the security of that is set up, then I can start on more fun/obscure projects.
b) Get the obsidian tower running from the highest level to the lowest level, with a way to add further width to the tower after initial construction (aka: flood the world with magma). Part of this would probably require having a water tower running in the very corner of the map to the top (z level) of the map, to facilitate cooling the magma.
c) Get the obsidian tower up and running as a functional fort
d) *After* all of the above, releasing the demons to rampage and terrorize the world. Ideally with some sort of drawbridge-release mechanism, to that terror can be instated at *exactly* the desired moment.

So /tg/; what are your plans?

I plan on creating the grandest dining hall possible. I'm not sure what exactly this entails, but it probably means lava/waterfalls and arched ceilings. Is there a way to make a floor rotate?

I love the obsidian tower plan. It's all that's keeping me going now that there's no glass.

I plan on not fucking everthing up for everyone after me.

I plan on creating something special that will require a large number of caged prisoners. Hopefully the construction of this special something will cause the miners to be praised.

I'm going to make a magma chamber. Anybody who wants to get through the fortress has to break through a large series of floodgates within about 5 seconds.

I foresee much doom and burning...

I plan on building a giant Obsidian Obelisk complete with a deadman's switch and self destruct system.

I made an assassination gangplank for prisoners on top of the magma pit

If we had bauxite, we could make bauxite coffins and commit fallen dwarves back to the earth.

As soon as I read that I immediately thought of the end of Star Trek: Wrath of Khan with Scotty and his bagpipes.

[bobothebum]

Sorta the intent, yeah.

[Quor]

Can you actually move coffins with the bones still inside them or are they automatically removed when your dwarves go to relocated the coffin?

[bobothebum]

Only one way to find out
