Points of Interest

• Δ 21. Defense towers.

  ( 212 Late Autumn to onwards )
  From here, the marksdwarves take aim at hostiles. - ColdSnickersBar

• Δ 20. Training camp/roof

  ( 212 Late Autumn to onwards )
  This training ground is all open air, letting the sunlight keep my soldiers acclimated while they train. New boots work the pumps in the gym to prepare to become recruits when they're tough enough. From there, they become competent wrestlers/armor users/shield users and either branch out into a melee weapon or crossbow. There has never been a sparring accident with this regimen.
  
  The open sections of the room let light into the outdoor farm below and let the trash heap a few z layers down air out. They're walled off to guard from accidents. - ColdSnickersBar

• Δ 19. Covered bridge across the canyon/main defenses

  ( 212 Late Autumn to onwards )
  Siege engines here and defense towers with marksdwarves protect the bridge across the canyon. The drawbridge can be pulled in an emergency. - ColdSnickersBar

• Δ 17. Siege proving ground, waterfall plumbing, statue garden

  ( 212 Early Spring to onwards )
  The walls of the statue garden go a few z layers high to keep out intruders. The two openings are glass windows, but they blend in with the open air. There's also some indoor farming to the south.
  
  Notice that the walls and floors are varnished. - ColdSnickersBar

• ¶ 16. Entrance

  ( 212 Late Autumn to onwards )
  The moat has a constant current that pushes it through four openings into the river to the North. It's fed from four waterfalls from the z levels above. To the south, a control room controls the plumbing for the water intake, the waterfalls, the drain under the moat, and the sewer system.

• Δ 15. Living quarters

  ( 212 Late Autumn to onwards )
  The dwarves live here. Masterwork art and furniture keeps the finer rooms compact. In the center, the entrance stairwell plunges through a decorative pool. - ColdSnickersBar

• Δ 11. Workfloor

  ( 212 Late Autumn to onwards )
  This is where the economy gets its steam. The two wells have levered trapdoors leading to the pressurized sewer system. If I were to open the wells to refill them the wrong way, it could flood the whole floor. Luckily, I built a redundant lever system that closes a safety to release water into the wells from below. - ColdSnickersBar

• Δ 9. Mandate Processor

  ( 212 Late Autumn to onwards )
  When a noble makes an impossible demand, they come to this room, and then pull the lever (hidden under water in this pic). Mandate processed! - ColdSnickersBar

• Δ 9. Sewers

  ( 212 Late Autumn to onwards )
  The sewers are pressurized from the enormous weight of the deep moat above. I originally had a plan to make a pressurized fountain, but I screwed it up.
  
  The chamber to the north is a noble mandate processing center. When a noble makes an impossible mandate, they go here to process them. The red switch releases pressurized water. The green switch flushes the room. Nearby to the processing room is the drain that leads into a leech field many z layers below capable of absorbing all the water in the moat and sewers if I need to drain them.
  
  I should have hid the rocks I left in there. - ColdSnickersBar

• Δ 8. Crypts/treasure room/prison

  ( 212 Late Autumn to onwards )
  I want to do something decorative with bone piles here. The southern room is a treasure room where artifacts, masterpieces, and coins are deposited. All other stockpiles have masterworks and artifacts prohibited. - ColdSnickersBar

• Δ 7. The Plank

  ( 212 Late Autumn to onwards )
  The three goblins in the center are awaiting execution. Below them is the gladiator arena or a pit of spikes, depending on how the switches to the West are arranged. To the East, a prison chamber allows enemies (and poor captured wild animals) observe the executions. - ColdSnickersBar

• Δ 6. The Gladiator Arena

  ( 212 Late Autumn to onwards )
  New recruits are stationed here, waiting for the goblins above to be punted into the arena floor for some hands-on training. If the levers in the control room above are set, the red square in the center retracts to reveal a large pit. At the bottom are spikes which can be sprung to quickly dispatch enemies when I have waves of prisoners to execute. This happens a lot, actually. That pit is like a Nazi shower room sometimes - one group after the next. - ColdSnickersBar

• Δ 3. The Execution Pit

  ( 212 Late Autumn to onwards )
  Here they land. Here they die. When I'm backlogged with prisoners, I kick them in here in groups of four. After a particularly large siege, it can take a while to clear the queue. - ColdSnickersBar
