Ceilingact - 303 Early Spring by Phlamethrower

Map Description:

No sign of the orcs yet, but plenty of immigrants. As the fortress grows, the disorganised layout of the first year is gradually being replaced with a more structured one.

Point of Interest: Copper

So there is metal ore here after all!

This copper vein will soon become suits of armour for the wrestlers, all of whom are already legendary. When the orcs come, we will be prepared... - Phlamethrower

Operation GET WELL SOON was a complete success!

By which I mean it failed.

Although it succeeded in generating lots of water and killing a kitten, the water then promptly ran straight down the funnel and out a hole in the bottom of the map.

Well, you learn something new every day.

You managed to make a mini chasm by accident? How freaking cool is that.

Do Dwarves actually freeze if their beds aren't close to magma?

Sealing the fort with magma... ?

Well, it keeps the orcs out.

Everyone died, BTW. A goblin seige turned up just as the last baby died, so the goblins ended up claiming victory.

Points of Interest

¶ 16. Remains
The first migrant wave was attacked by a pack of ice wolves as they entered the map. One dwarf was lost, the others formed the basis of Ceilingacts military. - Phlamethrower
15. Fortified entrance

( 302 Early Spring to onwards )
Initially carved out of raw ice, the entrance is in the process of being rewalled with rock and fortified. - Phlamethrower
Δ 13. Jail

( 303 Early Spring to onwards )
A frozen jail to punish the dwarves in. - Phlamethrower
12. Garbage disposal

( 302 Early Spring to onwards )
A pit directly over the magma pipe will be an effective waste management system for the fort. - Phlamethrower
11. Farm plot #1

( 302 Early Spring to onwards )
This farm plot would have been larger and more impressive, had the meltwater created by the magma underneath not flowed back towards the magma pipe and formed obsidian, cutting off the magma supply. - Phlamethrower
11. Farm plot #2

( 302 Early Spring to onwards )
This time a wall of rock was kept between the meltwater and the magma pipe. However low magma pressure at the top of the pipe, combined with the extreme cold, meant that only a small amount of ice melted before the cooled and dried. - Phlamethrower
Δ 11. Farm plot #3

( 303 Early Spring to onwards )
The plan to trap the fire imps and use them to melt ice failed. But now that the imps are dead, the farmers were able to move in and plant crops ontop of the muddy rock from the failed ice melting operation. - Phlamethrower
11. Red sand staircase

( 302 Early Spring to onwards )
It appears there are small amounts of sand trapped in the ice. Unfortunately the staircase does not function as a sand collection zone. - Phlamethrower
Δ 10. Magma pipe
Poor lil' thing is still trying to refill the top level. Hopefully this won't affect my plan of flooding the world with magma (in the interest of science, of course). - Phlamethrower
10. Metalworks

( 302 Early Spring to onwards )
Assuming the miners are able to locate some metal ores, these metalworks will provide ample weapons and armour for the military. - Phlamethrower
Δ 9. Bedrooms

( 303 Early Spring to onwards )
Successful trading of rock crafts has resulted in many wood logs being imported, which in turn has resulted in many beds being made.

All the bedrooms are located next to the magma pipe so the dwarves don't freeze to death while they sleep. - Phlamethrower
Δ 9. Copper
So there is metal ore here after all!

This copper vein will soon become suits of armour for the wrestlers, all of whom are already legendary. When the orcs come, we will be prepared... - Phlamethrower
