That's what a seven dwarves can do in a year. I'm impressed.
Dwarven caravan came from south, an I had only north and west roads cleared. Ack!
( 1062 Early Spring → onwards )
Here we have the tombs of seven fort's founders. Never they will be smoothed, and the stone left on the floor should never be touched, so, that any dwarf will see, how hard was life at the time of fort foundation.
(Well, one of them will likely become a mayor, and I'll have to give him better tomb, but this first tomb will be reserved for him forever) - Dorten

I think making a reverse-waterfall from the brook down there would look cool.

Definitely worth a try, but since I have no chasm or aquifer to flush water into, It should be planned VERY carefully.

impressive indeed. I particularly like the design of your trade depot.

Magma vents usually refill themselves slowly.

It's not a vent, its only pool...

Hey Dorten, the double spacing between the walsl look good yeah, but I don't like your 3x3 blocks of up-down-stairs; if you think about them its like a giant shaft filled with ladders that dwarves can fall down... I prefer building sets of stairs winding down into the fortress.

I'd really like to see what happens with the temple of water. I also like the design of it's chamber.

so I forgot to log in and the captcha was Adamantiumcreamy.
Anyway, my dwarves hardly ever fall down stairs.
Also, you can build floor tiles in the tree-flooded areas to provide roads for the traders.

Yep, I've also never seen a dwarf falling from stairs.
If that ever happens, I will redesign the shafts, but until then I'm happy with what I have.

I have siege engineer and operators, but have no idea of where to place ballistae... Any advice?

I love this fort. If you don't mind I'm going to use it in a DnD campaign!
