Channeledskunk - 8 Early Spring by Salmeuk

Map Description:

This is the start of the third year of ChannelledSkunk. What started as an accidental embark has led to my favorite ongoing fortress. Right now, the population is at around 71 dwarfs, with 110000 created wealth.

I exported the game map right as my inexperienced and ill-equipped militia was about to fight a squad of axe-goblins. You can see the results in the accompanying video on my profile, or just go to this link:

Point of Interest: Main Stairwell

This 4 path staircase will hopefully sink down all the way to lava. While creating an artificial pit this large and this deep might take some time, and the fortress will probably die before it's ever finished, I can't help but try. This sort of architecture is too epic to resist. - Salmeuk

I used to be an ascii player too. Then I tried a few graphic sets inspired by first ultragear and dorten's fortresses, then I created Cloisterpillars

I like the twisty tunnels.

Points of Interest

Δ 171. Curtain Wall
I have about 11 Masons working nearly full time completing this massive fortification. Eventually, I might add more rooms and width, or even an artificial lake, but right now it's just an unnecessarily large wall. - Salmeuk

Δ 171. Side Stairwell
The original stairwell that will at some point become obsolete. - Salmeuk
Δ 171. The Fate of the Fortress
I stupidly forgot to make a lever to close my front gate. Now, my small force of recruits (6 total) will go toe-to-toe against an equally large, if slightly shorter, squad of goblin axeman. Things did not look good.

Δ 170. Kitchens, Farms, & Food Storage
Fairly compact design that still proves extremely inefficient, but I like it that way. Gets everything done that needs to be, so far. The harvested plants are kept out of barrels because I like visual representations of my food stock. And really, farming is already too easy, so I might as well feed the hamsters. - Salmeuk
Δ 170. Stocks
Highly scattered and almost full, but luckily the design is easily expandable. Most likely temporary. I have an *IDEA* to later turn these rooms into individually assigned squad training rooms, again providing a visual representation of what my military is up to. - Salmeuk
Δ 163. Artificial Chasm Progress
This is just annoying and takes forever, but the end product is cool enough to be worth it. And I even want the walls to be smoothed, which nearly doubles the time take to build such a project. - Salmeuk
