Chamberdawn - 206 Early Spring by ScottH

Map Description:

This is our great fortress Chamberdawn after our fifth year here.

We now only have 27 dwarves, 2 Marksdwarves and 2 Sworddwarves.
The value of our architecture is by far higher then the rest.

We had no immigrants this year.. We are starting to feel the need for expansion and need of new dwarves to fill the military ranks and make our tower stronger and deadlier

Point of Interest: Military Status

So this POI will describe the military standing of our great tower. Last year we moved all production and resources inside the tower or into the pit because of the frequent ambushes.

Currently we are trying to finish the outside of the tower so we don't need to visit it anymore except on occasion. I have marksdwarves on rotation watching the area currently being built. - ScottH

Your fortress is pretty neat, I like the hole you dug.

one word to solve your channeling problems. upward ramps.

Just don't do it under any full size trees...

Thanks sneakeypete but I have already thought of that, I decided the massive collapsing way is more fun and just seems quicker.

P.S that was two words :)

Looks like it's coming along nicely, can't wait to see that magma moat.

be sure to make a movie of the final collapse!

cool fort, I don't know why you have a huge hole around your tower but its a varied fort with lots of interesting ccorners to explore.

Thanks guys. That hole will go to the bottom eventually and be filled with magma! Once I have everything done in this fort Ill collapse it and yes magic dwarf I will definitely record it, Ill also record it when I do the collapse to remove the floors in the hole. I'm sure something entertaining will happen..

Points of Interest

Δ 31. Revamped Shooting Range
We remade the entire marksdwarf shooting range, its all made of green glass. - ScottH
Δ 30. Control Room (Lots of Control)
So we have levers to many things. All fluid movement, obsidian making chamber, bridges, future garbage disposal. Also you can see we added some masterfully crafted green glass statues to decorate the tower. - ScottH
Δ 29. Tower is almost enclosed!
So I have to make 4 more clear glass walls and the tower will be enclosed. - ScottH
Δ 17. Power (Remodled)
Ive rebuilt the entire wind farm building in ryholite. It was wood, the wood we replaced in this building has been sent to the ashery to make us ash to feed our clear glass manufacturing. - ScottH
Δ 17. Statue Upgrade
The current statues seen here are some crappy platinum no values. Im swapping them out with some newly made well-crafted platinum statues. - ScottH
Δ 16. Fort Symbolism
Much of this map will have a good evil theme. I want to make much of this fort symbolic of balance. As you can see the lighter color water is surrounded by the dark stone and the darker magma is surrounded by white stone. The road will be split down the middle and interlocked with the good/evil balance theme. I plan to build a large yin yang symbol sometime.. - ScottH
¶ 16. Golden Bridge (Entrance)
So this is the only way into the fort, its retractable by levers in the control room in the top of the tower. - ScottH
Δ 16. Military Status
So this POI will describe the military standing of our great tower. Last year we moved all production and resources inside the tower or into the pit because of the frequent ambushes.

Currently we are trying to finish the outside of the tower so we don't need to visit it anymore except on occasion. I have marksdwarves on rotation watching the area currently being built. - ScottH
Δ 14. Stockpiles moved
I'm in the process of moving all resources and items out of the pit, expensive or soon to be used goods go in the tower, everything else goes in this room. - ScottH
Δ 7. The Engraved Passage
So I wanted to channel this hole out for no particular reason.. I had it engraved just after the last ambush so its got lots of history on the walls. There is no use for this I just wanted to add more features to my fort. - ScottH
Δ 6. Magma Pump
I really fucking hate this thing.. It set a dwarf on fire! I wanted to scrap it but I was worried weird and deadly things would arise if I let it burn down.

Either way this is now the most troublesome project yet, though I'm sure something will take its place.
Last year when I was digging the moat to surround the power transfer towers I made a mistake and dug a path for the magma to fall down this hole. Anyways after burning and stuff I had a bucket brigade pour water down the hole continuously till I channeled it all out and it was dry. It took just over half a year to fix and 1 life.. - ScottH
Δ Burial Chambers (A must see)
The caskets are made of ryholite, the entire place has been masterfully engraved. The front area is decorated with only masterfully crafted green glass statues. Those goblins and dwarves are engravings, Ive chosen to show only those to show the battles past, only 4 dwarves have died here to non fighting related reasons (not counting immigrants I sent back home..). The Burial Chamber will probably be expanded upwards and I will also move some aluminum statues in here. - ScottH
