Progress!
I've begun building a real fort for my dwarfs. The above ground structure is currently on hold because I can't decide how I want to shape. Should it be really tall and skinny? Or low and fat? Low and skinny? etc. But it will happen, eventually.
( 118 Late Spring → onwards )
Somewhere, under all this rock, is an underground river.
I was looking through my folder, and I saw the picture of the start that I took, and I noticed that I had an underground river tile in this corner of the map. I had completely forgotten about it. Nice to know I have the option of growing trees underground should the need arise. I've decided to leave it unfound for now.
(And yes, you would think that the pages of deceased dead critters that live in the underground river/ponds would have tipped me off, but I haven't scrolled down the unit list that far since embarking :embarrassed:)
Speaking of dead units, I had cave crocs, but they are dead now :( - Sinergistic
The HTML5 map viewer is currently in Alpha mode - I'm actively trying to develop new functionality.
There should be many very obvious problems with the viewer; please check
the
Issues page to notify or comment on the most egregious problems to help
me prioritise. The most common will be Loading... with an error
in the browser developer tools console. e.g. RangeError: Offset is

That is the most amazing bridge i have ever seen. Pumping magma all the way up there and making lamp posts just kills it.
(3Dwarf pics maybe?)

It's incomplete, this is a screenshot from an earlier save. I'm playing in 40d9, and in order to get tools like 3dwarf to work properly, I have to copy the save over to a 40d game folder, which is more of a pain than you think it would be.

Does this place have a title, other then region1?
I would greatly appreciate learning its name.

Updated the name of the map, just because you asked :P
In other news, I just found out the name of my fort is metalgate ^^

Truly, you are a Brunel amongst dwarves.

Your new underground levels look awesome especially with your tileset.
I still can't get over how awesome your bridge looks in 3dwarf

Really though, this is quite amazing.
A very unique structure.

Loving that bridge; I'm tentatively planing to copy your support style for the entrance ramp on my current fort. The designs for the lower levels are also pretty amazing...

... Wow. That's really all I can say. Basically every part of your fortress is art to me. I'm envious of your creativity and I hope you keep pumpin' out the beauty. Good luck.

Oh My! I *AM* a noob i admit, but Dang!! Some of you peeps are just truly Amazing! I finally can survive even rough starts in untamed wilds with constant ambushes and sieges. As for building a fort, well i though i was getting the hang of it. Now that i have seen a truly amazing fort, i realize i have a very long long ways to go yet.

So, that "perpetual motion" machine is slowly losing water, huh? Sounds more like you made a water-fueled fusion reactor. Congratulations.
