Points of Interest

• Δ 172. Outdoor Training Yard
  As with civilians, the military often has reason to go outside. So, in the hopes that they might become acclimated to sunlight and avoid cave adaptation, I've set up a training yard here, inside the large rectangular curtain wall.
  
  They're not too happy about it at the moment, but it's for the better in the long run. - fidelcowstro
• Δ 171. Outdoor Statuary/Memorial Hall
  Syrupurns has a garbage problem. Goblin and necromantic sieges trash caravans on a regular basis, not to mention what they do to each other. Most of this happens outside the fortress in the surrounding countryside, so if I want the map to have any sort of cleanliness (and I do), I have to send the dwarves out regularly to gather trash and corpses.
  
  I suppose, someday, I could just regularly douse the countryside in magma. Soon.
  
  In any case, light sensitivity is becoming an issue. Thus, a curtain wall has been constructed, blocking line of sight to the rest of the map, so that the dwarves can be regularly exposed to the elements and avoid cave adaptation and all the associated negative thoughts.
  
  The slab memorializes Ber Rungworked the Power of Nails, legendary miner and late captain of the guard. Two of the brass statues are also images of him - one, his removal from the post of sheriff, and the other his ascension to captain of the guard. - fidelcowstro
• ¶ 47. The Project Continues
  Three years after the last update, three years of progress on the excavation megaproject. The grotto that has been dug out can be seen clearly with the DFMA's awesome side-view option. Miners reach the digging site via the up-down staircase and channel out the grotto one layer at a time to avoid cave-ins.
  
  Something like a dozen or more dwarves have been given picks and sent into the deeps to mine. The more they dig, the more skilled they become, which accelerates progress. I fully expect this phase of the project to be complete within three more years, at which point the uppermost cavern layer will be exposed to the grotto (as in Weatherwires) and a few structures will be present in the deeps. - fidelcowstro
• Δ 168. Airlocked Trade Depot
  This design is my preferred setup for trade depots. The paired bridges, that raise against one another (visible here in both raised and lowered positions) are immune to building destroyers from both directions. This prevents the setup from being fouled by both trolls and tantruming dwarves.
  
  The depot lies in between the two sets of bridges, which are linked to two separate levers, just to the left of the inner bridges. In this way, the depot can be made accessible to the exterior of the fortress while preventing any actual access to the fort itself. When traders arrive, the bridges can be toggled, and the dwarves can freely access the depot, but there is still no direct access to the surface. - fidelcowstro
• Δ 131. Carnage
  It's actually pretty clean right now, but this is where an entire goblin siege met its end, just a few weeks prior. Remarkably, several invaders survived the drop. I can't extend the depth of the trap at this point in time, but I'm already formulating a solution (it involves giant tame animals I got from the elves). - fidelcowstro
