Don’t forget, you need to incorporate some sort of multi-story element to it!
…maybe an obelisk or temple, or…
(perhaps underground…)
I’m going to have to look into this stuff, once the Fort Lias Cathedral project is finished (or explodes)!

Soooooo Branch update is out with MINING!
All hyped i decided to begin my underground fortress building. It is on the small side but it was more to try stuff out and not make the most impressive fortress (yet).
On the Image below i made a little farm outside with a stair upwards on the hill where i had a few farms. Down below i made a small entery with a thick wall with double door and lots of braziers and gargoyles. On the right side there is a little dorm, In the middle i got my dining room with lots of chair’s and tables and on the left of the dining room there is a stockpile room with workshops from the 3 crafters and a organized stockpile.
Sadly when i wanted to make some pictures it crashed so only got this one
I am planning to make a big extensive fortress with building build underground and not just dug out like this. So what do you guys think?

For the record : I tried to save the template of ONE stage of a multi-story tour, just to add it over the top of the last one … and this does not work even if you :
- create it with an ODD size … because you wont be able to center it later otherwise, since its align on voxels
- you have to put at least a single line of floor to be able to place it since the template must be centered …
So if you find a solution to build tower a little faster, i’m all ears 
Hm, I’ve been just digging around all day long over here. 
I used to play a lot of dwarf fortress, so it’s just what I do.
Just a tip, u don’t have to build the ladders as they go up, just double the ladders out, and they will scaf on top of them

Another tip. Not sure if it’s been mentioned.
You don’t have to put ladders on every block the entire length of the wall. Putting ladders with a 2 block space between them works fine. The workers can build the block directly above the ladder and one block in either direction to the side.
Just something to help speed up the process.

I just find it easier to double up ladders, back to back to the height of the base ur building. they will build scaffolding on top of the ladders if you do

Hi again, what do you mean by double the ladders ?
This does work. but sometimes u have to put ladders sideways to get this to happen.
Or you can just run the ladder up. ( but you have to babysit them). They do build the block above ladder and the left and right block

Would you like the add to this thread? I’m sure there are many people who would love to see your work and know how you built these. Thank you.
did you actually build this.
I believe you’re looking at the cityscape concept art from the Kickstarter–in this case, no, it wasn’t created by him. By this point, though, MOST of the cityscape could be made by a determined-enough player. The only things I see still being an issue are some of the banners and objects, and a few roof designs (though the latter can be made by hand).
(I believe @Epicdwarf’s actually been banned from the Discourse for a while now…)
