Cagemerchant - 11 Mid Autumn by Noble Digger

Map Description:

Back in the reigns on a more feature-ridden map. Lots more metal, wood, and obsidian, and HFS (but I forgot where, conveniently) with a very long chunk of cave river for water projects and a bottomless pit for drainage!

I'm going very rectangular for the trade depotbarrackscraftsmans' areas (currently under construction) but I plan to have semi-circular rooms in the farms and butchery areas.

Two marksmans' towers will go up near the front gate, along with a small maze made of retractable bridges so I can drop goblins into a dungeon easily.

To the south will go a large vault to store my soon-to-be-massive wealth of gems (I stole this idea from juice, word nuggah) and more bedrooms below each workshop. The final design is to make each stack of 3 2x2 bedroom halls owned by 4 dwarves total: so each gets a bedroom, dining room, office, and workshop all connected. The final step will be to store food nearby as well.

Point of Interest: The Barracks

Population is capped at 30 in this fortress, and I hope it doesn't approach anything close to 30 anytime soon. I'm hoping to spend very little time on housing and food production needs and lots on digging, smoothing, building, and most importantly, mechanical shit!

This nook is where everyone sleeps. If they want better they can build it themselves! :P - Noble Digger

Nice fort.
What really amazes me is that you A: have a girlfriend and play on DF and B: that you have a girlfriend who PLAYS on df.

It's possible, there is hope for all of us :)

Find the right girl and give her enough attention in between forts that she'll stick around. Thanks btw~

I'll add a new set of images for this fort, it's progressed 2 more years and looks really nice, but I've been messing with Windlancers today (flooding a goblin tower from the top, mwuauauauaghaafgsg hack cough)

A secret pool in the mountains surrounded by all manner of gems and treasures... no really, I didn't make it up, I saw it with my own eyes *hic*
