Moonhome - 42 Late Autumn by Fleeting Frames

Map Description:

The mountainhome of Rhyming Occult-Palisade. Bred 19 to 146 dwarves over 39 years and 10ish days irl. Trained Hydra, killed 29 megabeasts, built half of a minecart ocean-jump platform for adventurers to get artifacts.

Point of Interest: Bridge the width of embark tile

Issue: Fortresses must not touch, lest goblins on southern island come and siege the fort, eradicating the mountainhome.

However, an adventurer must be able to access all the wonderful artifact gear and the adamantine they're carrying conveniently nearby.

How?

With flying minecarts.

This is not a bridge you walk.

This is a MINECART AIRLINES LANDING STRIP.

As the adventurer flies in from over 48 tiles away, they land on refreshing soap bridge and are brought to a stop by six-tile rollers pushing southward onto highest-friction track stop. The whole stopping setup uses 618 power, generated by 3 infinitely-dumping carts and 1 windmill, though the takeoff on z113 is powerless. - Fleeting Frames

Nice tower, wish I could see it in 3D.

Beautiful fortress! Your writeup read like poetry. The moon design is evocative.

Also, it warms my heart that DF can occasionally confuse even the most knowledgeable of players.

Hey, Tharis, finally got that screenshot you asked for, thanks to mifki's 3dviewer

Here's an image of what the person leaving the fort via ocean-pult sees and a link to fort to scroll around in, until mifki takes it down.

Here's another screenshot of the tavern area

And thanks, Salmeuk. ^^;;

Confusion comes easy with forgetting, but I still see new things in DF everytime I spend a day on it.
