Castle Mightygrips - 17 Early Autumn by Retro

Map Description:

Mightygrips, towards the end of year 7. From a community fort.

Point of Interest: Floating peasant

Here flies Edzul Fencedgold (under the 'stunned' X). After the cave-in, he fell a single z-level and continued to float for all eternity. We even built a floor right under him. Oh well. - Retro

Very nice aerial shot. I can't help but think that this would be a fan-freakin-tastic Human town. IMHO, the humans are a little too open-nature-elfish, and need to have some town walls.

Well done, or a great start, depending on if you have something else up your sleeve.

Hovels? Those are pretty big hovels. I can think of some dworfs who only get three squares to live in, counting the door!

Points of Interest

Δ 15. Future keep / mural
A sword and a (shittily portrayed) arrow. Represent the knights and archers of Mightygrips. Haven't really done anything else to the keep yet; for now it's Morul's boneworking area. - Retro
Δ 15. Menagerie
We've added three berserk elves and a skeletal hydra to our motley crue of undead critters. - Retro
Δ 15. New stables
Eight docks on both wings. The setup: 3rd floor has the pits, 2nd floor has a bridge for temporary holding, and then a lever can drop the critters down to the 1st floor. There was some reason I wanted this setup, but I can't recall. Hopefully I remember sometime.

Irwin's menagerie is too dangerous for regular holding, so they're gonna get 4th and 5th floor special-containment cells. - Retro
Δ 15. New workhouse magma tower
The magma hasn't refilled yet from being drained into the reservoir, but this up/down tower is going to serve as the center for masonry/smelting/all that fun production stuff. I've got quite a lot of z-levels to work with, so I'll probably be making it crazily tall when it's finished. - Retro
Δ 15. Noble hallway
I haven't built all the right rooms in the keep yet, so I've put all our nobles in here. All rooms overlap with that artifact floor hatch, which is automatically making them all royal. - Retro
¶ 15. Overview
Looking a bit better. I like how the mural looks zoomed-out better than regular-size actually.

Not many things have permanent setups yet, so there's a looot of random stockpiles and stuff littered all over. - Retro
Δ 15. Power plant
It's supposed to generate around 5600 power. It's not. Somehow (due to what I think might be a new discovery on how flow works) the first setup I used didn't work, nor did the second or third, etc. etc (which is why lower levels are a mess and are semi-flooded). Eventually I got 19 of the bastards to work consistently, but they've since stopped altogether, and I took it partially apart while I try to get it working again. - Retro
Δ 15. Quinn's cabin
In the process of being moved one square south since I don't like it touching the main walls. Now I'm noticing that the ramps for the roof are going to touch the stable's walls, and I'm considering moving it one square to the west. Sigh. - Retro
Δ 13. Floating peasant
Here flies Edzul Fencedgold (under the 'stunned' X). After the cave-in, he fell a single z-level and continued to float for all eternity. We even built a floor right under him. Oh well. - Retro
Δ 9. Battle trap hall
Though there are many, many traps along this hallway, it is not meant for catching invaders. It's actually a safe side entrance that I'm thinking of using as a battleground - dwarves get hurt, fall down, end up in cages. If I catch any wolf spiders or orcs, that'd be nice too. Probably won't see much use, but I did use it to catch the elven caravan. The last guy here is melancholy and hasn't moved in half a year. - Retro
