Wadedcastles v2 - 204 Early Spring by FunkyWaltDogg

Map Description:

Things seem to be going pretty well. I've secured the perimeter and started building weapon traps to defend the main moat crossing. I've also built housing for my dwarves, and successfully tested an extremely cheesy method for generating free power.

On the downside, my initial attempt to tap into the magma pipe was something of a debacle. Fortunately no dwarves were lost, and I have high hopes for the next try.

Point of Interest: East bridge

I built this bridge for my miners to use in digging the aquifer drainage for the moat, since they prefer to repeatedly attempt to cut through the moat (using the ramps you can see in 203) and cancel due to dangerous terrain rather than walking around via the south bridge.
Even after I built the bridge, they still wouldn't use it so I had to designate traffic zones to get them to cooperate.
This bridge is linked to a lever, but I'll probably forget to raise it until my first ambush sneaks across it, totally bypassing my weapon traps. I do have a couple of champion wrestlers, so all would not be lost in such a case. - FunkyWaltDogg

Your fort is so big and open!

I didn't see the point in digging out a lot of area underground to pack stockpiles and workshops into since I'm ultimately going to be constructing buildings on the surface to house all that stuff. So for now, everything pretty much just gets plopped down wherever I've got a space.

Really nice layout and a great seed to have magma so close to the surface. I can't figure out how you get the water up the main building with the housing though. I don't see a pumpstack but I do see pumps at the top.

Problems?

Do you only see a blank space?
