Swordsmokes - 129 Early Spring by Salmeuk

Map Description:

Year 3. 105 Dwarfs (down from a mid-year high of 140), assorted animals and a metric fuckton of depression. Two sieges hit, and while the smart thing to do would be to close up the gates and sit them out, I didn't have that option. A minor and *ahem* unforeseeable design flaw gave the goblins a straight shot into the heart of my industry. I had to fight, and this resulting tantrum spiral is the result.

Now, I'm hastily burying all the corpses and hoping to simply wait out the tantrums.

If you want to see the hasty fight between my various squads and the first siege, here's a link: http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-2656-firstsiegeaslaughterbyanywords

Point of Interest: Training Barracks

Each room provides a bed, equipment storage and space to train for one of my 6 elite melee squads. - Salmeuk

Nice tileset. You know how to make it cool.

If you survived your tantrum spiral maybe you could take the risk of breaching to cavern layers? You could get some nice soft fungus beds.

Oh but you don't have caverns?

Not bad. I like the blue X in the smelter room. I do wonder what this "unforeseeable" security breach was.

I updated the default POI to the location of the issue, which wasn't quite a breach. In a convoluted way it was closer to blackmail.

Also, here's that platinum hammer and description, take a look. Not bad for a first artifact after a long time away from DF. (link to imgur).

Oh, now I see. Those overlooks are dangerous.

I do like that spiral ramp.

Wow, i like the magma metalsmithing. The lava channel is real nice. Also it's nice to see how you stock refuse outside the fortress side.n Other things worth mentioning is the food production line and the central lobby, that makes the fortress breathe.
