Tradesoared - 1065 Mid Spring by Quift

Map Description:

Same fortress, a few years later. I have built a new, and architecturally grander entrance. its now a three storey hallway leading directly to the heart of the fortress. The Arena is also finished and furnished with a pet dragon.The waterworks have been finished allowing an indoor waterfall in the finalized throne room (very satisfied with it btw). also and indoor bath, safety plug, replica of the Constantinopel Hippodrome and a military restructuring.

Current projects are limited to getting rid of of goblin clothes and armor. and building a temple to god. haven't quite decided which one yet since my world is too old to have some actual gods around.

My main goal right now is to lower the total amount of items on the map. old tattered clothing, rock mugs, narrow silk socks. The only sucess so far is the rock cleanup operation. I have some quarry operations to get obsidian and limestone. otherwise no stone lying around. golbin underwear FUCKING EVERYWERE!!!

For a walkthough of the fort economy and layout check out the older map.

Point of Interest: Control room/Water system/Lower entry

this is the control room. all the levers are conected to different floodgates allowing a very precise amount of water in the system. basicly I could drain everything from every single point in the system to completly rince out all the water if I need to fetch anything etc. The moat could also be flooded, and then drained, altough I havn't done that yet.

this floor also has the new entry to the fort. the Mayor and the Captain of the Guard have opposing offices here, at the heart of the fortress. - Quift

What graphics pack is this?

Very cool ramparts, organised and what-not.

I see you're still in the habit of making old-school cave-in proof rooms :)

That's just future proofing, right.. for when Toady puts cavein's back in and everyone's forts fall apart.

Points of Interest

Δ 15. Entrance
Rebuilt entrance. instead of the former doors leading to the top floor I have built a larger antrance leading directly into the fortress. This has reduced traffic through the fort dramatically. Traffic is now much better spread out and the enitre food industry now has its own circuit (just south of the main entrance.

- Quift
Δ 15. The hippodrome
Originally built as a cathedral I got the idea that I wanted all the goblins to be slaughters in the same plces to ease hauling. unfortunatly they don't get attracted by the trade depot alone, so i have to station champion inside etc. quite messy and no realy gain. made entirely from smooth obsidian blocks, except the tricolor in the middle.

South the old City of the dead mausolem and I have started to carve out a temple underneath the with and blue structure. will be a huge, high room with engraved pillars and light falling down from small holes above on statues of some sort inside. Maybe desingated as pits, with spikes instead...

The huge stockpile is for finished goods, cloth, silk and leather of standard quality. This cathes most goblin wear so that tey can be dumped in the magma dump room on the far left. To the east there is one of the watchtowers, I have one here, one southeast of this one, one to the west and I'm currently building one on the far south. This protects from ambushes, thives and snatchers.

The catapults serve no other purpose than getting rid of all excess stone. I'm striving for a very neat and clean fort and would have it, if only those goblins left me alone. - Quift

15. Entrance

( 1058 Late Winter to onwards )
The only entrance to the fort is through these classic medieval style gates. The bridge can off course be drawn, but there are also steel grates wich enables shooting through the entry without lifting the bridge (for example if one desires to open up the gates and make an assault. - Quift
Δ 11. Arena, now finished
The Arena, now finished. contains a caged dragon and 4 pitted goblins. spectators could be seated on the level above. - Quift
Δ 8. Royal Throne room, jail and bath
The Queens new throne room. Its about 20% of the volume of the fort so I hope she thinks its worth it. Sterlng silver throne, encrusted with some of her favorite jewels (she like sterling silver, ok!).

Gold statues, 4 gold wells complete with chains, blocks and buckets all in gold. indoor waterfall and that table in the middle is an adamantine artifact worth 1,4 million. The Armor stand beside her throne is the first artifact crafted in fort and has great sentimental value.

South of the throne rooms I have some shops, the jail (no fancy stuff. Steel cages to hold them and thats it), the bath (automated pressure plates to make sure that the waterlevel is 4/7), the casino, the philosophers classroom/office. Have some room left that I dont know what do do off yet. - Quift
Δ 3. Plumbing
Opening up this would drain all water in the entire fort in case of a flood. Always have something like this to avoid nasty surprises.

I think that this might also be an entrance for megabeasts thoguh the chasm. nasty surprise when hit with quite a jet of water, propelling them out.

also the indoor reservoir above this s that I can finally have some inside the fortress instead of having to go ou to the swamp during winter. - Quift
