Whipgilt - 1052 Late Summer by apparentbliss

Map Description:

A year and a half in ... and I haven't bothered to even begin training, equipping, or assigning a military. Then -- an ambush! Curse them! A human caravan happened to be docked at the fort, but the gobbos overran them pretty quickly. I thought I would take this opportunity to capture a new fortress before it descended totally into "fun."

Point of Interest: The Huddled Masses

Are they the next lambs for the slaughter? Will the unexperienced conscripts and the beleaguered humans fight off the goblin waves? Tune in next time to find out. - apparentbliss

Points of Interest

Δ 47. Haphazard / Hapless Army
I had marked out a few potential army recruits from the last large wave of immigrants, but I never bothered to actually activate them, or equip them, or generate gear for them, or any of that. As soon as the ambush struck I conscripted them right-quick, but they were all involved in civilian affairs of one stripe or another, and are not well suited to cope. As a result -- precious few of them have survived these initial moments of onslaught. - apparentbliss
¶ 46. Bathed in Blood
Blood everywhere -- goblin, human, dwarven -- but there is more to be shed soon, very soon. Notice, among other things, the two goblin bowman unleashing hell from just inside the exit ramp. - apparentbliss

Δ 46. Wood
There's a lot more wood in .31 than in 40d. Carpentry is now a nearly full-time position in my embark crews. - apparentbliss
Δ 45. Hospital Empty -- But Not For Long?
It's about time to earn your stripes, Urist McSuturer. - apparentbliss
Δ 37. An Early Well
I built a well here, thinking it would be a reasonably safe drop down to the water in the cavern below. However, the well never activated (for reasons beyond my comprehension), and at some point, something bloodied up the area -- so I decided to just take it out, and seal up the hole.

A flying crystal glass forgotten beast appeared in the caverns about a quarter of a season before this snapshot, which hastened the necessity of sealing up this entrance. - apparentbliss
Δ 37. Goblin Highway
This embark location is directly adjacent to a goblin tower, and thus falls on the road/tunnel leading out of it. I haven't breached its perimeter yet, to my knowledge, so I have no idea what consequences, if any, that carries.

The seed for this location comes from the following forum thread: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=53603.0 . - apparentbliss
Δ 34. Replacement Well & Fishing
After the first well location turned up dry, I started in on this one. The "safe" pump setup seems to have worked, at least this time. Pump is manually powered to reduce flood risk. - apparentbliss
Δ 30. Magmaworks Designs
I'm still working on my magmaworks plumbing designs, changing it pretty much every fort. I like this one because the "base" of it is a standard 11x11 square. The spokes make it easily extensible, later, if necessary. - apparentbliss
