Keyhandle - 302 Early Spring by Phlamethrower

Map Description:

A 2x2 area containing a magma pipe and HFS. What could possibly go wrong!

Point of Interest: Drawbridge

( 302 Early Spring → onwards )

This was the first line of defence constructed for the fort. After carving out the initial room the ramp leading to the surface was deconstructed, to protect the dwarves from attack by fire imps. Only after this bridge was constructed were the ramps rebuilt and the dwarves allowed outside again.

When the magma forges were constructed later in the year, the magma channel feeding the forges was extended to reach the pit under the drawbridge, to more effectively dispose of any enemies that should fall in. - Phlamethrower

Something (probably the crossbow) is probably forbidden on your marksdwarves.

¶ 15. Fortress entrance

( 302 Early Spring to onwards )
A modest entrance for the fort. Although there are going to be some defences above ground, most of the defences are going to be below. - Phlamethrower

Δ 14. Fortifications
I'm going to have ballistae inside my fort, shooting straight down what is currently the main corridor. Yeah, baby! - Phlamethrower
Δ 14. Well

( 302 Early Spring to onwards )
Fed by the nearby pool, this well should provde an adequate supply of water to any injured dwarves. The well shaft runs right to the bottom of the map, so there's plenty of room to build extra wells using the source of water. - Phlamethrower
Δ 13. Future barracks
Once more beds and dwarves are available, this room will become the barracks for the fort. It provides watch over the second defensive bridge, including quick access to the switch that will raise and lower the bridge. It is also joined with the room that will house the internal ballistae.

Although most of the dwarves currently live and work on the layer above, it is expected that the dwarves will move deeper into the mountain, allowing more of the soil on the layer above to be used for farming, and therefore placing more importance on this barracks as a defensive position for protecting the main populace. - Phlamethrower
Δ 13. Likot Sazirerar's tomb

( 302 Early Spring to onwards )
The tomb of the first dwarf to die. He arrived in the first migrant wave, and along with another peasant was set the task of starting the metalcrafting industry. Unfortunately the magma forges weren't designed with safety in mind, and one of the fire imps soon found its way into the workshop area. The imp was slain, but not before it could set fire to Likot. Likot burnt to death soon after, before he could reach the well to douse his flames.

One of the butchers then decided it would be a good idea to butcher the imp's corpse and place the meat in the food stockpile. As a result, several barrels of food caught fire and their contents were lost. - Phlamethrower
