Squashshoot - 1069 Early Spring by Dorten

Map Description:

Woosh... That was a long year. 10FPS.

The Temple is finally complete, and is taking its sacrifices regularly.

Started some ballista defenses, hope, they'll work.

Lost three dwarves to failed moods, cause they wanted silk, which I don't have. And the dwarven caravan didn't come this year, because goblins came to me earlier and scared them away.

In the next year I plan to build ballista defenses at the north and south entries, and to breach the Pits. I have 13 bauxite mechanisms and plenty of iron to make 13-tile long corridor of firedemonproof traps :).

Point of Interest: Dead grounds

Here and to the northeast you can see a minor bug. Biome borders a re stright, and nothing grows there, except grass. Looks a bit spooky. - 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!
