Shoveknives is probably my proudest moment in terms of fortress defense.
An error involving mining tunnels and an up/down stairway led to the river draining into these tunnels, making them inaccessable. I was lucky not to completely flood the fortress: had I not acted quickly enough, everything would have been underwater within a season or two. - LegacyCWAL

That some grand fortifications you've got there, I like what you've done with the valley entrance and defences. Good work :)

Is it just me or do those channels in the east look like they could someday be used to flood the valley :P
Edit* Didnt notice there was a moat.. haha

Yeah those are some kickass fortifications. I also like how you've claimed the center of your map with walls

I really like the way you've claimed the whole valley. Also the bridge over the whole thing is awesome.
Is it just me or is it possible to enter the secure lumber area and the meeting area from the south?

Into the valley of death rode the six hundred!
Like the bridges very much.

I'm glad that everybody likes it =)
Silfurdreki: It's secure, but I admit it does look open at first glance. Look at the cul-de-sac from 1 z-level up though, and you'll see the moats that cut it off to the sides, with the remaining ramps down there either shaved off or else cut off by moats of their own. I'll probably wind up walling it off sooner or later, but my dwarves almost never go down that far =)
