The Black Cloister - 103 Early Spring by Salmeuk

Map Description:

The next year.

I've only gotten a few small immigrant waves, so I mostly buffed out my food worker force and my carpentry sector.

Barracks is essentially done, and I've started work on clearing out the cathedral spot.

Point of Interest: Cloth

Where I turn rope reed thread into rope reed cloth.

Or more specifically, my legendary weaver does (He made a toga last fall. I guess people liked it) - Salmeuk

Let me say that making an aboveground fortress with a megaproject is tough as hell. With that said, good luck! I hope you take full advantage of the diagonal walls.

About 60 FPS right now, FYI.

Thanks, I kinda see how the sheer workforce needed is going to be a problem.

Once you get a decent number of workers(Healedabby has around 100 workers and 30 kids), things get done terribly quickly. Also, hilarious events happen as you designate 100 tiles of wall to be deconstructed and watch as they haul the resulting blocks to a stockpile.
Like little ants.

1. I like how similar our grave styles are.
2. Great pit mine. I did research and found there were underground quarries for stone in the middle-ages, but I mostly did it because I don't feel like tunneling through so many soil layers to eventually get stone.
3. Awesome mines. They looks like random scribbles in MS Paint and you either used a utility, DF has more digging capabilities than I thought, or you took the time to make it crazy-looking.
Awesome.

Um, duke, as far as point three goes: You can designate things with the mouse. Mining, dbd, traffic, etc, all can be done with the mouse, so making 'scribble' looking mines is really just an exercise in holding down the left mouse button and... scribbling?

:P Yeah Duke, get with the program.

I just recently discovered the mouse thing, and it doesn't help too much except for designating mining areas and specific trees.
