Waterdeep - 1051 Early Spring by matryx

Map Description:

Welcome to Waterdeeps!

I decided to try my hand at creating and underwater fortress, so with some careful selection I managed to find a freshwater lake which freezes in the winter (just, and briefly, but it does freeze).
With the plan of drafting everyone into masonry each winter I plan to expand little by little into the lake until we have a proper underwater fortress, although it may take serveral game-years.
First, set up a farm to feed ourselves, and then after that we can focus on constructing a temple in the lake.
We shall call it WaterDeeps

Totally sweet. It's too bad the lake is only 2 z-levels deep, or you could make some totally massive structures.

You're missing the point of water:

If he digs down FOR the lake, he can expand it to the lowest level possible!

He could fill the entire damn MAP with water, as ill-advised that may be.

very good. question, will you stick with green glass or eventually convert over to clear?

Clear glass might be used in some areas, but unless I can import Rock Crystals, crystal glass won't be.

And Flok has the right idea, I intend to expand the lake-bed where needed so allow for further underwater "expansion" - I believe the lake already gets filled up from the South and East map edges, but I haven't confirmed that yet.

Wonderful! I don't get why you don't have more comments. You should. I have never tried to build something underwater, but the glass idea is cool! also, I have a question. How do you free up bags for glassmaking? Mine are always full of seeds and the like. Anyway, Great temple!

does the glass actually require reinforcement in-game? or is that just a bit of realism? and i wonder what kind of crops you can grow underwater... or if you can have an aquarium with turtles or larger water fauna and such. keep us updated.
