Bloodaxe - 225 Early Autumn by Itnetlolor

Map Description:

Year 1-A
Chapter 1: Let's Hit the Ground So Hard This Time, it Shatters

As you have already noticed, to save space on my end, and not clutter things overall in my thread, and to reduce overall workload/burden, I've reduced my updating to bi-annual. So expect possibly more speed to my updates both in progress, and overall amount due to reduction.
Rant:

Once again, back our regularly scheduled program.

Pirate-Queen Lucca,

Here is my first official update on our situation, as promised. At the start of each Autumn, and each Year, I will relay you our progress.

As you have already been noted on my official report, I have focused our fortress portion to a warehouse designation, and will work on supply and processing before we work on proper housing and construction of the dry-dock and the ship.

Point of Interest: 1- Front Door Depot

This is how we have things established: We're keeping things nice and narrow for our visitors. It's already a long enough trip for the merchants to reach, especially once the lockdown perimeter is complete. Don't worry, we'll have other things setup later on, but for now, we're keeping things direct. - Itnetlolor

Points of Interest

Δ 75. 3- A Future Hotbed of Activity
The forges are carved out. We still need to install the rest of the floodgates and their respective mechanisms (all obsidian-crafted, so it should all be safe and easy to control once done). Once we're done installing the other 3 floodgates and their switches, we'll breach the magma, and get smelting and crafting.

Regarding defenses, we're crafting some obsidian swords in the meantime for basic defense. - Itnetlolor
Δ 73. 5- Designated Dry-Dock and Deployment
Here is where I plan to install a drydock, scaffolding, and build the airship itself. It's in the same style as the Bloodfist's development, except I will apply a few added touches to improve construction speeds, efficiency, and have a means to finish up/christen the ship with a bang by the end. I will even take the time to build an audience stand not far away from here to see off the next generation of Airdwarves, as well as observe the christening service from a safe distance.

You probably won't be seeing any other activity here for maybe another year. Still gotta settle down and have our supplies ready, along with having more than enough hands to get to work on this job. - Itnetlolor
Δ 66. 1- Front Door Depot
This is how we have things established: We're keeping things nice and narrow for our visitors. It's already a long enough trip for the merchants to reach, especially once the lockdown perimeter is complete. Don't worry, we'll have other things setup later on, but for now, we're keeping things direct. - Itnetlolor
Δ 65. 2- Welcome to Warehouse-12
This is pretty much a whole Warehouse district, where we work on building merchandise for trade, and all the blocks and such for our construction job.

AUTHOR NOTE:
Sorry, but I put a personal restriction on myself to not use the quantum stockpiler. Keep things fair for a megaproject. Plus, I would be forced to make a super-condensed fortress, and where's the fun in that? This is a vindication for the old fort's poor planning as well. - Itnetlolor
Δ 65. 4- Farming and Future Meat Processing
We have our farms set, and producing. Pretty basic and low-yield, for now, but once we have more hands working the fields, we should be plenty stocked.

We have plans drawn out to commit the lower corner for refuse stockpiling and our leather and bone crafting industry, and merge that with a butchery. Essentially, this is our farming district. Until things are absolutely secured, we'll keep it underground, for now. - Itnetlolor
65. S-- Supplies are Dropped Off

( 225 Early Spring to onwards )
Here we are, our new home. It seems like this is a good spot to leave our supply cart, so we can survey and work with our surroundings. - Itnetlolor
Δ 65. What are you looking here for?
The Bloodfist left, and deploying [s]victims[/s] volunteers (sign up in my thread if you want to be dwarfed) offscreen.

Did you really think it would stick around and expose the site like a sore thumb? It only semi-annually drops them off. - Itnetlolor
