Points of Interest

• Δ 180. Abandoned Nature Reserve

  ( 41 Mid Summer to onwards )
  Attempting to make a circular wall around a section of forest proved difficult, both for the distance from the exit from the fort, and the landscape needing to be cleared - even deviations from the circle gave issues in building it. While it may be attempted again at this location or another, this project was abandoned with the humans, goblins and elves wanting to fight. - Fivegears

• Δ 178. Patchwork Tower

  ( 41 Mid Summer to onwards )
  When I remember to, I keep building up the surrounding wall above the farms, but wanting function above aesthetics, practically any material is used to put it together. In time, it may be worked so that it has a better look to it, but for now it's simply a slapped together with whatever stone is closest at the time. - Fivegears

• Δ 176. Buffsnake's Infirmary

  ( 41 Mid Summer to onwards )
  Named for one of the founders, and the Chief Medical Dwarf, this infirmary hasn't seen a whole lot of action yet - largely because our tactics involving invaders is either to ignore them, or to pulverize them with different mechanisms. I don't think this will always be the case, though. - Fivegears

• Δ 176. Front Gate

  ( 41 Mid Summer to onwards )
  The main entrance to Strongsnake is a drawbridge across a moat of lava. The moat usually serves as a deterrent, but it has claimed a few lives during fights - even a citizen of Strongsnake has fallen in, during a fight with heathen humans. On the south end of the bride are stairs downwards, though that's currently obfuscated by animals and litter. - Fivegears

• Δ 176. The Forges
  Glass furnaces, smelters, magma kilns and forges, anything that requires heat is within Strongsnake's manufacturing factory. Two sets of breweries and a kitchen make sure some food is near by, with a pair of small dining rooms to keep workers from wandering too far when they're hungry. - Fivegears
• ¶ 176. Welcome to Strongsnake

  ( 41 Mid Summer to onwards )
  - Fivegears

• Δ 175. Administration, Barracks, Storage and Workshops

  ( 41 Mid Summer to onwards )
  This was originally to be the first level of Strongsnake, but after realizing that playing with channeling lava is best kept simple, it became something of a sub-level. Contained within are the administrative offices, the barracks and outlying storage (mostly being converted to ore and bar storage, for the forges above). - Fivegears

• Δ 175. Excecution Chambers

  ( 41 Mid Summer to onwards )
  A late addition, this room will serve as a place to drop in caged invaders where they can serve as target practice for our marksdwarves. - Fivegears

• Δ 175. Heathen's Highway

  ( 41 Mid Summer to onwards )
  Soon to be the lower entrance for visitors, this path is wide enough for caravans to venture through to the far side of the fort where the new trade depot awaits. The highway is so named for the original reason the tunnel was dug - to gently encourage an enraged deity out through the side. However, a number of goblins tried to get in the way he was going out, and after the goblin army suffered heavy losses, eventually the so-called deity was overwhelmed. Despite us not laying a hand on him, the humans blame us for his death. - Fivegears

• Δ 175. Lava Syphon

  ( 41 Mid Summer to onwards )
  The side of the volcano's mouth was pierced to channel the much-needed fires to the forge level above. Originally it was simply one channel, to keep things simple, but impatience got the better of the citizens of Strongsnake, more channels were built, and the forges were fired up not soon thereafter. - Fivegears

• Δ 175. Welcoming Committee

  ( 41 Mid Summer to onwards )
  When the lower gates open, we wanted to be sure we had dwarves ready to receive any visitors - stocks of bolts and fortifications are set in place for our more rambunctious guests. A series of alcoves are set to be home to different dangerous creatures we can send out to parlay with less amicable visitors. - Fivegears

• Δ 174. Strongsnake Apartments

  ( 41 Mid Summer to onwards )
  With yet more apartments needed to be dug out, filling the actual apartments has been difficult, mostly due to lack of wood. While the landscape is littered with trees, Strongsnake is under near-constant siege, so efforts to gather wood have been stymied (until we reach a cavern, hopefully). - Fivegears

• Δ 173. The Tombs for the Named

  ( 41 Mid Summer to onwards )
  The tomb level is mostly reserved for those dwarves that have been named by The Connection of Songs, but there are plenty of those - some common tombs exist for unnamed citizens throughout the fort. At the South exist 7 larger tombs for the founders, and larger still are tombs for the baron and also for royalty, should they manage to sneak past a siege to join us in Strongsnake. - Fivegears

• Δ 172. The Hammerhall

  ( 41 Mid Summer to onwards )
  A few levels below the lower entrance (The Heathen's Highway) is a hall that will have a number of raised bridges, ready to drop on any forces that decide they want to try taking the scenic route into Strongsnake. - Fivegears
