This is the last report from the fortress of Faithfulaxe. The bright future of the dwarves of this fortress has been extinguished by a goblin siege. Their small military force was not enough to repel the invaders, as their champions were content to be in places other than where the battle was occurring. Eventually the invaders were routed, but there was still cleaning to do. The bridges that offered protection from invaders also isolated whole portions of the fortress, causing many to perish from thirst and starvation when destroyed by tantruming dwarves. The bustling fortress once contained 190 dwarves. We are currently at 30.

Hmmm... Maybe put some kind of dock down there?

Yeah, it would be cool if merchants could have river merchants to trade with, but then you'd also have to worry about marauding goblin pirates. :o

I've always been a fan of fortresses built on rivers like this.

I have to say I love the way you built your fort in accordance with the river and geology, it really makes it stand out and look unique.

Did you not fancy stacking the "The Projects" vertically?

That's probably what I should have done, and have had another dining room on a different level. Actually, I can probably hollow out some of the back housing blocks to turn into workshops. That's what I'll do.
Thanks BlackrayJack, I chose this area because it had a massive height difference while not being mountainous, and when I saw the big cavern in the center, I knew I had to use that somehow.
