Moonchannel - 259 Early Spring by Dwarfbux

Map Description:

Yet another relatively quiet year for the fortress, but some developments have taken place. A cyclops appeared and was promptly killed by a very large military with nothing better to do. Better news though is the fact that the royal quarters for the king are mostly prepared and conditions are met for his arrival! It is my hope that a war with the local human civilization will begin shortly thereafter!

Also, water takes a really, really long time to fill stuff. Power is flowing nicely but the cisterns aren't anywhere close to being ready to be filled. Not even the conduits to get the water there are remotely close to being full. Oh well, I am a patient crazy person.

Point of Interest: Forgotten beast defenses

Right now there really isn't a good way to lure forgotten beasts into the fortress for execution purposes so this setup will hopefully change that. The large open chamber will allow marksdwarves to take shots first. If they all get slain by some horrible syndrome attack then the twisty hallways will perhaps let some dwarves get the jump on it. I would rather not screw around with syndromes if at all possible so some containment should be helpful to prevent the total collapse of the fortress before such time as I am ready for it to have a total collapse. - Dwarfbux

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?
