Frenzycities - 1056 Early Spring by CptFastbreak

Map Description:

Welcome, travelers to the friendly abode of Frenzycities. We have only recently discovered the tourism industry as a means of income... I mean cultural exchange. So forgive us when some parts of the fortress are not yet in the state that you maybe know from the mountainhomes. And rest assured that the rumours of travelers being killed in this area while the dwarves of Frenzycities party in their great hall with the drawbridges up are completely unsubstantiated.

The area is a lovely riverside forest with two small rocky hills on the west side. The military secret of this fortress: cheap traps and drawbridges. Our entrance defenses were among the first things build, and so far the military and stone fall traps have fought off two goblin ambushes with negligible losses. Sure, goblin sieges killed an elven caravan and an dwarven caravan from the mountainhomes, and we spend a good part of the past three years cowering behind raised bridges with rampaging trolls, ogres and mounted gobbos outside - but, hey, dead dwarves don't make dwarfbucks.

Point of Interest: Magma pumps power

For unknown reasons appearing to be digging desgnations are four waterwheels powering the magma pumps below. We originally anticipated that more water wheels were needed, hence the large enclosure. It was only recently that we heard that goblin sieges sometimes come mounted on tamed Giant Bats. Needless to say, hasty construction desgnations were issued.

A bit further to the south is the pump that is supposed to feed the Great Waterfall at a later point, powered by a windmill. This, too has to be enclosed against flying invaders at some point. - CptFastbreak

I really like it when fortresses move around and leave old unused rooms back - it gives them an organic feel. You should fill those unused rooms with statues/cages - museums!

That's really a neat idea. Unfortunately I lost the ability to make coke from lignite/bituminous coal due to a bug so the fortress is on hiatus until that is fixed. After that, however, we already have one caged goblin invader and a caged bronze colossus that will be put on display here.
