Points of Interest

• Δ First Human Caravan
  For a few reasons, the most major of them being large-scale excavation, I was a bit slow to get the road completed. Here you can see the first human caravan plodding towards me, loaded down with over 300 units of yummy booze! - BridgeBurner
• Δ Gate Plan
  I'm showing this view just to outline my basic forward fortress plans. The main idea is to discourage goblins from entering through the lower slanted passageway (which was really created as an easy conduit for goods to the trading depot) and to actually encourage them to go into the main passageway where, hopefully, my army will engage them.
  
  The smaller bridge leading to the finished goods stockpile and ultimately to the trade depot can be withdrawn during sieges. However, I realize that that passageway is too easy to enter now. So, sometime in the future I hope to employ a magma, water, or steam moat to make entrance into that passageway totally unappealing to the little gobblers. - BridgeBurner
• Δ I'm the boss here, not you!
  This is a limestone coffin sitting in the office of the broker, who seems to have some sort of fetish for limestone. I went through 3 cycles of Make Limestone Items (3/3) when he put up the demand for a limestone object in his office. I decided a coffin would most clearly send the message about what continued limestone nagging might mean. Oddly enough, his next mandate after that was Make Picks (2/2). This was only temporary, however, as immediately after the picks were made another limestone mandate came up. - BridgeBurner
• Δ Jail
  Not a very inspired design, but I like the idea of fortifications looking out into the hallway which implies dorfs can walk by and see the detainees in all their grief and shame. - BridgeBurner
• Δ Magma Forge and support structures
  I recently looked up from some deep digging to find 4 goblin corpses mysteriously lodged in the gauntlet of stonefall traps at my main gate and one corpse just outside the gate. This was odd. I had received no notice of a siege and no notice of any jobs being interrupted by the goblins. Nonetheless it made me realize I had to get serious about equipping and training a healthy standing army and finishing my defenses. So, I put this general area at the top of my list.
  
  You can see a mini-Medina with a central dining room and small food storage space for my metalsmiths and a few odd peasants and miners.
  
  You can see I also favor small stockpiles for the many resources that forges/smelters need. Rather than bog my whole fortress down with hauling jobs for a season or more, it's better in my eyes to create small hauling jobs more frequently and to still have the goods close at hand for my metalsmiths. All in all I strongly favor this method and will very unlikely change my ways. - BridgeBurner
• Δ Second Commoner Medina complete
  Slightly different design from the first (though I think I like this one better), same basic function. Between this and the first Medina, I have about 115 chambers. Between armies sleeping in barracks (which I prefer as it seems to encourage sparring), nobles, and spouses sharing beds, I think these two Medinas are more than enough for a 200 dorf fortress should it come to that. I also plan a small, 15-20 chamber "middle class" Medina replete with 6 tile chambers for legendary dorfs and those that can afford it. - BridgeBurner
