Dance of Spears - 449 Early Summer by RedWick

Map Description:

Finally got an immigrant wave! Up to 31 of those little buggers running around! This will take a considerable load off the dwarves who were running the place by themselves. I've set most of the new immigrants to masonry, like I usually do. They're currently cranking out blocks and doors.

Beyond that, lots of new expansions on the fortress. I'm starting to do what I can to plot out and make use of burrows/districts in a fortress.

Point of Interest: Jewelry District

Two jewelers workshops, four bedrooms (or two bedrooms and two offices) and a small area for drink storage. Simple, direct, easy. Now all I need are some jewelers to populate it. One of the storage areas around the workshop is set to accept exceptional or better finished goods. I only like encrusting the best stuff.

The designated area is going to be turned into another tower, once I build up a surplus of stone blocks and finish off the defensive towers at the gates. - 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...
