Moonchannel - 254 Early Spring by Dwarfbux

Map Description:

The fortress continues to soldier on. This year proved to be a lot deadlier than the past year. A blob titan made of coral with two tails attacked this year. While by itself it would have been no problem, the thing also had a web attack and I made tactical errors against it. Four dwarves died as a result, many of whom were actually marksmen, and two of which died in the hospital. One such hospital death was because people really didn't want to bring this dwarf water. Oh well.

Another dwarf died from drowning while cutting a tree. I am not sure if he understands how tree cutting works. Too bad, he was one of the original seven.

A forgotten beast also attacked later in the year, this one in the form of a giant scaled slug with thin skin wings and a poisonous sting. It never got a hit in since it got bum rushed by thirty dwarves and died very quickly.

The fortress is humming along nicely otherwise. Water related projects are underway and will probably take a long time to do, but I have plenty of labor and plenty of materials, so it is really just a matter of waiting.

Point of Interest: Water canals

These canals will eventually send water to wherever it needs to go. There is a river redirect near the actual river which will dump water into the caverns to allow the river to be dammed. Once that is all set the river will then be sent through the long canal to the right which will turn water wheels which will in turn power the fortress's mechanical devices. Everything will be controlled through several drawbridges that can reroute flow as needed. - Dwarfbux

The HTML5 map viewer is currently in Alpha mode - I'm actively trying to develop new functionality.

There should be many very obvious problems with the viewer; please check the Issues page to notify or comment on the most egregious problems to help me prioritise. The most common will be Loading... with an error in the browser developer tools console. e.g. RangeError: Offset is outside the bounds of the DataView. Feel free to report a problem with a link to the problematic map or point of interest.

Well... Good luck with DF2014! It's only a few months at most for DF2015. I'm interested by the fact that goblins have joined a dwarven civilization. I had dwarves join goblins, or maybe they were raised from kidnapped dwarves or a clan of dwarves.

Enjoy the improvements, I'll be following your maps from the archive, I like your dwarfcentric playing.

Yeah the entrance doesn't hold a lot of gloom glitter nor glory atm. It's interesting to read how you talk about resourcing. But hey, you're only on year 2!

That was actually at the end of four years. I didn't upload the first few years since I didn't know if I would bust through understanding the military interface this time. Luckily, I did!

Man this is a GREAT fort!

I love the big X hallway in your Legendary Dwarf Quarters level.

When I look at the legendary dwarf quarters, a certain long forgotten feeling emerges... like something falling around the lungs or stomach. Jealousy? Awe? Pride?
