Dance of Spears - 446 Late Summer by RedWick

Map Description:

A guard outpost along a stretch of road between two major settlements for my civilization. I have the basic outline of my fortress mostly mapped out. Now comes the hard part: actually putting stuff in!

I dropped the anvil in favor of more food and drink. Aside from the two surface plots, I haven't set up any other means of food production. I usually find that I can forage up enough food from plant gathering to sustain me a good long while.

Point of Interest: Outer Wall

Eventually going to be built up into an impressive curved defensive wall going up at least as high as the second story of the southern entry gate. Right now, there's just a placeholder, mostly so I can start to funnel any would-be invaders. - RedWick

RedWick I love the way you're not ruining my eyes with secondary graphic tilesets. Yes, and the courtyard is the coolest thing yet today. Og my hosh, those farms are just pretty! Looks like glass but I guess it's just microcline because I use a mod in which I can't make anything out of microcline (it's like nuclear waste, won't melt in magma either)

And then to the magma! I suggest you just be very dwarvenly and burn down the jungle! It looks cool! Presuming you have magma to pump on the forest. Also, alcohol is a cool thing to blow up in a magma pit! Else it's pretty useless.

I'm used to the old rogue-likes, so I have a hard time switching over to using a tileset.

As for the farms...I had some miscellaneous microline blocks, and thought it might look interesting. The effect ends up looking like there's a ditch full of water sitting around each farm. I rather like how it looks and I think I'll probably do that sort of thing in future fortresses.

And alas, this map has no magma! In fact, I don't think it has much of anything other than the road running through it. Hehe...
