erithsebir, "Laborhides" - 1096 by FacesOfMu

Map Description:

My latest fortress. I was getting bored of my usual symmetric, rational designs so I've tried to go a little wonky with this one. I got the pop up to 68 (highest ever) but a strange flood this past year brought us down to 10. Happened during the removal of two aquadects south of the main bridge.

Point of Interest: Key defence design

This strange key-shaped entryway was inspired by the stupid dwarves that, once ordered to stay inside, mill around the entrance like ducks at a shooting alley. The top branch is now linked to water like the bottom one will be. Intruders will be funnelled up either side and either flushed out, sieged or shot down. If the three-wide doorways permit it, the trade depot outside will be moved to the east end of the centre hall way. - Faces Of Mu

Δ Fatal demolition
The bridge in the south east here is my main thoroughfare between my entryway and the sprawl of the fortress. There were three aquaducts south of the bridge, whereas now there is only one. These A's act as my guardrail against seasonal floods (and also seem to prevent ambushes). The larger of the two missing A's was 3x3 east-west, right next to the similar one there. The third was 1x3 east-west, in the last strip of river on the left. For some reason, even though none of the waterways terminate on land, when both of them got removed (not sure which caused the flooding), the fortress got swamped, and 58 peeps all got mermalised. - Faces Of Mu

Δ Shaft of life
This channel was dug out by my last two miners after the flood for my anti-flood generator. I connected that closed floodgate, the open one at the end of the channel, and that open door in the south east to the three levers in the top left. Little did I know that a flooded open door can't be closed, even with a connected lever. Thankfully the channel was long enough by itself and the survivors weren't tantrumming too much about starving for me to generate the anti-flood that saved the fortress. - Faces Of Mu
