Just a few pointers:
1 - Hearth fires in a mine DO effect cic census (If I Recall Correctly)
2 - Not sure if you can build an idol in a mine...
3 - You won't be able to grow trees or crops underground, so make sure you have some space up top to get your lumber for fueling the smelters and some bread to stop you starving.
4 - You won't be able to get clay from underground, so make sure you have some space up top to get your clay for making bricks for your smelters.
If you just plan on importing what you don't have then that'd probably work too, Laketown looks forward to supplying you with food, wood and leather if you require in exchange for precious precious metals ^_^
I haven't looked through the entire thread history, but if you're referring to the dwarf settlement thread, I started that and this is the continuation of it (that thread got kind of sidetracked so I decided I should start another one).
1. I don't know if it's been changed since then (it has been a while) but in the civ census announcement thread loftar said that they do not.
2. I'll have to check, which means I'll have to get lawspeaking...
3 and 4. I picked a good spot for the mine taking as many things as I could into account, both of these and a few more included.
Peter, I just PMed you a very crude map
