Map Description:

Beginning of the third year, magma pipe breached, substantial progress both above ground and under, and lots of cute fuzzy animals killed by my stone-fall traps.

I've always wanted to do more 45 degree stuff but I've never gotten right... this is pretty sweet tho. you should really get a tileset with smooth corners, like this one

(fyi you can carve fortifications into built walls)

Thanks! I may try to edit the tileset I've got to have diagonals, but the nice, clear ASCII tileset is growing on me...

Points of Interest

Δ 17. 2. The Outer Area
The towers have been connected to form a small room with fortifications. I may tear down part of the back wall and replace it with fortifications as well, so that anything that gets through the gate can still be shot from the towers.

Also new here is the level above the balcony (down one level, north-east corner of the view), which I will probably build a second, green-glass balcony from as soon as I can free up my masons, and get glass production set up. - timmeh
Δ 15. 1. The Gates
The road has been continued quite a ways, but other than that, not much has changed near the entrance, at least on this level.

The stone-fall traps I build have only really helped once, killing a fire imp, and the rest of the time seem to lure small, fuzzy, cute things over and smash their guts all over the walls... takes forever to scrub off... - timmeh
Δ 14. 3. The Barracks
Added a some more coffins next to the other one, and buried another of the immigrants, who decided he wanted to take over a smithy, before I had access to metal, magma, or even had extra wood...

This brings the death toll to two, the first being the idiot hunter immigrant who decide to hunt animals next to a group of Snakemen, who quickly tore his limbs off...

Also new here is the ammo/weapons/armor stock pile, which serves as a grave reminder of my need for bins, while the food stockpile nearby is a constant reminder of my need for barrels... now if only I had wood.... - timmeh
Δ 14. 4. Bedding
The residential area has been expanded drastically, and will see a lot more expansion as the next year starts, to accommodate new immigrants. Currently sleeps 28. - timmeh
Δ 14. 5. Workshops
Most of the workshops in the fortress are in a grouping just south-east of the dining hall. The forges and other magma-powered buildings are in the south-west.

A small path both on this floor and the one below allow magma to flow into paths underneath the magma room. - timmeh
