Heartmine - 876 Mid Spring by itg_

Map Description:

Megafort containing, among other things, a colony on the magma sea floor, a werebeast-powered lunar calendar, and the first skyfort built with cave-ins ON.

Point of Interest: Entrance

( 771 → 901 Mid Spring )

Dwarves enter the fortress through the staircase in the center of the large pit. In the event of a siege, the bridge to the center may be retracted, forcing the enemies to take the winding retractable path around the edge. It's a ~30 z-level drop. To save time on siege cleanup, enemies now drop directly into the magma sea. - itg_

How long did it take you to cast that magma cistern? Also you are a grandmaster at DF.

Thanks! It's hard to say how long it took since I put the project on the back burner a few times. Maybe 15 years?

Awesome. I can barely imagine what it'd be like as a young dwarf arriving at this massive fortress for the first time, setting eyes down on the great staircase from the bridge above.

It's about 30 with temperature off. I keep my population at about 100 and am constantly dumping surplus items into the abyss.

One of the better fortresses in recent memory! Awesome work - how long IRL have you been churning out this beast?

Submitted by: itg_ - 2014-04-28 to 901 Mid Spring

About a year, on an off. I haven't put nearly as much work into it since the beginning of this year, since I've been waiting for the new release.
