Chaoshammer - 225 Late Winter by Elvang

Map Description:

My first all glass/above ground fortress. My original plan was to build a booze/magma based defense, until I realized magma doesn't ignite booze. Playing with Terrifying Goblins and Orcs.

Point of Interest: Entrance start

The start of my entrance. The ramps spiral up to the z-level my depot is on, and contains whip filled traps. - Elvang

You might still be able to salvage the booze trap if you add wood stockpiles adjacent to the booze ones. Maybe the burning wood will ignite the booze?

EDIT: Nice fort, by the way!

Went for it, worked to the point where the booze actually boiled. Unfortunately, the booze explosion had a total radius of 3 tiles and disappeared in 10 steps :(. Also, to get the wood to ignite I had to keep magma on the tiles for several steps before it ignited.

Points of Interest

Δ 30. Possibly future noble rooms
I haven't decided if I'm going to build the nobles' room here, or down next to the magma yet. I might end up just pumping the magma up here for ease. - Elvang
Δ 29. Workshop storage
Wood and leather at the top, noneconomic stones on the right, and charcoal/flux/metal bars/unusable armor/weapons on bottom. - Elvang
Δ 28. Workshops
Not very interesting, same layout I use in all my forts. - Elvang
Δ 27. Control room and magma
Had to pump the magma up several z-levels to power my forges. The levers control the trap related floodgates, the trap related bridges, the fill and drain floodgate, and the door to the magma chambers. - Elvang
Δ 26. Housing
All masterwork, still needs a few cabinets and all the boxes. Incidentally I have yet to assign a room to any dwarf besides those in the military. - Elvang
Δ 25. Barracks
My current military consists of 4 dwarves. A single dwarf can handle orc sieges fine, but it takes all 4 at legendary marksdwarf with steel to handle the goblins. Even then its not pretty, needless to say there have been about as many deaths as there are currently living dwarves. On the plus side, a stack of goblin bones yields a stack of 85 bolts. - Elvang
Δ 24. Depot
Ah, my trade depot. A final line of glass disc traps offers a little hope to any traders that happen to bring goblins with them. Not enough to handle the orc sieges, or the terrifying goblin ambushes. - Elvang
Δ 24. Failed Magma+Booze Trap
The entire thing works except for one minor detail: magma doesn't ignite booze. Takes up ~5 z-levels. The floor below is designed so the magma spreads out and evaporates on its own so I could reload the booze stockpiles. The grates are there because I was just going to stick the booze there until I realized stockpiles can't be designated over grates. - Elvang
Δ 23. Dining
Still a work in progress, every item in my fort is currently at masterwork level. Just need to build a few more chairs for this floor. Already have the tables in stockpile. - Elvang
Δ 22. Kitchens
My current kitchens. A fat stockpile above the kitchen, an area for animals below the butchers, a stockpile for skins by the tanners, and a fish stockpile. Also, a food and drink stockpile, plus the refuse stockpile. - Elvang
Δ 20. Farm
This farm was operation for the first 10 years of my fortress' life. After that I realized I had a surplus of plants from it and it has been disabled since (15 years), I still have plenty of food left. - Elvang
Δ 19. Bone storage
I had to move my bone/skull/shell stockpile underground after I found out the hard way that they will disappear over time even when inside above ground. - Elvang
¶ 19. Entrance start
The start of my entrance. The ramps spiral up to the z-level my depot is on, and contains whip filled traps. - Elvang
