I generally prefer a horizontally oriented fortress, because dwarves have an annoying habit of tripping and falling. With the exception of a few off-lying military towers, most of my fortress is contained inside of three stories. --[[User:Cypress|Cypress]] 19:57, 26 August 2008 (EDT)

:Personally, while I understand the logic of a vertical fortress, and even had one spectacularly successful one that had booze barrels on every floor around the staircase, I still end up making my layouts predominantly horizontal. I'm pretty sure that at least part of that is because of the psychological factor when dealing with noise - it's easier to space a fortress out laterally so that the Dwarves' bedrooms are far away from the workshops, than it is to do the same vertically.
