Moonhome - 42 Late Autumn by Fleeting Frames

Map Description:

The mountainhome of Rhyming Occult-Palisade. Bred 19 to 146 dwarves over 39 years and 10ish days irl. Trained Hydra, killed 29 megabeasts, built half of a minecart ocean-jump platform for adventurers to get artifacts.

Point of Interest: My favourite would be Purple and Burnt Orange Moon

...For these colors mix real well. The dug-out tile in the SW quarter is to my shame. This soil color isn't really replicable with natural walls, though the brown hatch covers come closest.

Oh, what's this z-level about?

Center hosts three smelters, ore and masterwork/non-masterwork stockpiles. The ramps hasten travel into forges while holding stockpiles.

The outer rooms on the western side hold the supplies for hospital. I favour multi-zlevel hospitals, with hatches and supplies above dangerous criminals and werebeasts. The northwest area lever is significant for the entire fortress trained swimming there together for a time - once military alerted inside, the door with no floor beneath is locked and lever pull drops safe amount of water in.

Afterwards, had to move it elsewhere, for they climbed out. Nonetheless, everyone but babies in the fort has some swimming skill.

I elected to leave some gems undug in cluster to the right, electing to smooth and decorate instead. - Fleeting Frames

Nice tower, wish I could see it in 3D.

Beautiful fortress! Your writeup read like poetry. The moon design is evocative.

Also, it warms my heart that DF can occasionally confuse even the most knowledgeable of players.

Hey, Tharis, finally got that screenshot you asked for, thanks to mifki's 3dviewer

Here's an image of what the person leaving the fort via ocean-pult sees and a link to fort to scroll around in, until mifki takes it down.

Here's another screenshot of the tavern area

And thanks, Salmeuk. ^^;;

Confusion comes easy with forgetting, but I still see new things in DF everytime I spend a day on it.
