Ceilingact - 305 Early Spring by Phlamethrower

Map Description:

No Orcs last year - they must be preparing for something big.

The quiet spell has allowed me to rebuild my military, and finally produce some suits of armour for them to wear. Meanwhile, the miners helped make operation GET WELL SOON #2 a success, have dug out the extra rooms to accomodate the sudden influx of nobles, and have almost finished the new, larger metalsmithing area.

Point of Interest: Pit of oblivion

( 305 Early Spring → onwards )

The end result of operation GET WELL SOON #1 was a hole in the bottom of the map, through which all the water promptly vanished. My guess is that the pit was formed by the ice hitting the bottom of the map, creating an ice floor, and then the ice melting, destroying the floor tile (much like the floor tiles of the other ice cave-in areas were destroyed).

At the moment the hole is sealed with a floor tile, but there's no guarantee it won't be put to use as a garbage disposal at some point in the future. - Phlamethrower

The HTML5 map viewer is currently in Alpha mode - I'm actively trying to develop new functionality.

There should be many very obvious problems with the viewer; please check the Issues page to notify or comment on the most egregious problems to help me prioritise. The most common will be Loading... with an error in the browser developer tools console. e.g. RangeError: Offset is outside the bounds of the DataView.

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.
