Tradesoared - 1058 Late Winter by Quift

Map Description:

My fifth and most succesfull fort. layout is made to maximise efficiency, and the outer defenses should be enough to repell most invasions (had they actually tried once the gate (steel grates) are down.

Note that I have choosen to mine all exploratory shafts outside the main fortress to avoid having multiple entrances. The Castle is the only entrance to the fort.

Point of Interest: Entrance

( 1058 Late Winter → onwards )

The only entrance to the fort is through these classic medieval style gates. The bridge can off course be drawn, but there are also steel grates wich enables shooting through the entry without lifting the bridge (for example if one desires to open up the gates and make an assault. - Quift

Very cool ramparts, organised and what-not.

I see you're still in the habit of making old-school cave-in proof rooms :)

That's just future proofing, right.. for when Toady puts cavein's back in and everyone's forts fall apart.

Points of Interest

Δ 17. Adamantine Shaft
This shaft leads down to the adamantine deposits and the hell below. a few dozen demons have crawled up here only to meet their destiny with a hundred bolts from the ramparts. Pits are floored over. - Quift
Δ 17. The ramparts
Allows shooting down any attackers from a safe distance. observe also the even higher towers wich unfortunatly doesnt work that well, markdwarfes up there have trouble spotting goblins below.

a total of 20 markdwarfes are stationed on the four walls, living quarters for them inside the towers which also hold piles of drinks, ammo and footware. - Quift
Δ 15. City of the dead
This is the temple/graveyard of the fort. Entire thing is made in obsidian with streaks of coboltite (blue to symbolize valor) and cinobar (red, for the bloodgod) wall and drawbridge were added after a colussus went down and started to vandalise the tombs wich thwarted my intentions of capturing him alive. had to send some champions down to kill him 5 lvl belov. in the bottom the countess+consort tombs, an above that one the queens grand mausoleum. golden sarcophaguses of course, and obsidian for the commoners.

The other temple was intended to be an opposing temple, life etc. since I havn't come up with a nice idea yet I haven't really tuched it that much. Also have to add another layer of pillars to the blood temple, aswell as a roof.

in the top left there is a small house only containing a hole down to themagma below. several thousand stones have been thrown donw there to keep the fort tidy (and also keeping all crafts and furniture in obsidian.

The entire caste however is build in basalt and was build during the first 1,5 years of the fort (3 masons working full time.) - Quift
Δ 15. Entrance

( 1058 Late Winter to onwards )
The only entrance to the fort is through these classic medieval style gates. The bridge can off course be drawn, but there are also steel grates wich enables shooting through the entry without lifting the bridge (for example if one desires to open up the gates and make an assault. - Quift
Δ 14. Food preparation area
Main food stockpile on the lower right, sorted by prepared food, drinks, meat/fish, plumps and other plants are feeding specialised stockpiles at the mill, farm workshop and kitchen to the lower left, aswell as the still on top. Also first dining room (legendary thanks to engravins), butcher and fishery on this floor aswell as tax guy, hammerer and the Queens sleeping quarters. - Quift
Δ 13. first lvl of workshops
to the right, there are the craftsdwares workshop working mainly with bone bolts and wood bolt production. observe the location with the refuse pile one floor above.

Mayors office in the middle and opposite of an empty office (in case someone else wins the mayors election).

To the far right I have the drarwen gym wich all my haulers are using to boost their strenght aswell as all attending military preparation boot camp (which are doing nothing else but pumping here til they reach legendary).

Lower part is wood workshops and secondary food stockpile mirroring the one above. - Quift
Δ 12. Arena (under construction)
in the top I'm currently building the seats for my new arena were I'll be pitching my champions against goblin thieves en masse. my engraver has gotten very moody lately so the project is running behind.

the Queens throne room is situated here with gold statues, a gem encrusted throne in gold and a silver throne for guests and diplomats.

to the right I have my clothier production with loom, dyer and clothiers workshops, and to the south i have furniture stockpile and masons workshop - Quift
Δ 11. Arena, arhcery range etc
the battle arena is here with the seats on the floor above as wel la a pit connected to a lever. having some problems shoving the goblins down the pit alive though, they escape only to be tuchered and littering the halls instead.

also leather workshops to the left, ore and bar stockpiles to the south and archeryrange to the right. the workshops are currently only processing adamantine but once thats finished (have found well above 300 at the moment and my entire military is wrapped and armed with it). later These workshops will produce practice bolts intead. - Quift
Δ 10. Party Hall
The sole meeting hall in the fortress (some activities zone though). I activate the room when I feel a party is in order and then stop the party once work needs to be done. also the magma workshops and jeweler and mechanics. Ore and bar stockpile on the lvl above the workshops and finished goods workshops are on the lvl below this one.

cheap housing to the right, since dwarfes can afford the rooms (thankfully most are legendary in something making the economy irrelevant). - Quift
