Ulolgeshud - 1056 Early Spring by Jamini

Map Description:

Year six of the community fort Ulolgeshud.

Point of Interest: The finished (mostly) mason's shop

I did very little actual building this year, instead mostly using Diggum's skill to build lots of roofs and floors inside of what we already have. The main exception to this being the walls of the Masonry/Mechanic's workshop.

An observant person also may notice that some of the newer constructions are a different shade of gray. That is directly linked to the digging out of the tombs (which happens, coincidentally, to be in Gabbro rather than Granite.) While I may be OCD enough to dislike having bright patches of green or yellow in my walls (although underneath many of my workshops there are colored block floors you cannot see) I really don't care so much about two shades of gray within one building. - Jamini

I like the Elf trap. . .

Seems fitting that they would die, speared through with wooden spikes.

Sadly enough, I don't get anything BUT elves for trading. I think it has to do with not having a liaison. It's a little annoying, since there IS a human civ on my civ's screen, and I have not once gotten to meet or trade with them.

It's either that or it may have to do with me never having successfully traded in this game once.

Well, considering you only have 7 dudes.....Who would bury the last man when he died?

His... or her... children.

I've got a good number of them already, and I'm more than halfway to having the number of able-bodied adults growing.

This is a generational fortress in the truest sense of the word. Reallly it is.

Δ 14. The gobbotorium

( 1056 Early Spring to onwards )
This map fails to do justice to the goblin zoo I have placed in my main meadhall (still not quite half finished with it. To my irritation). The goblins in those cages are color coded, with the top-right being a Human Crossbowman (Snatched baby. This is his second visit to Ulolgeshud actually.), the cages to the left and directly below being a hammergoblin each, and the final three being from left to right... a swordsgoblin, a wrestler, and a crossbowgoblin. - Jamini
15. The waterwheels

( 1054 to 1090 )
Connected to the millstone by long, underground gearworks, these waterwheels produce only a slight excess of power.

Eventually I'm probably going to move the entirety of the gearboxes underground, but for now it seems to be working as intended. - Jamini
14. Abod's Abode

( 1054 to 1100 )
Smithing is an involved business, especially without magma. These three workshops are manned by Abod Niltellist, our smith. It's a little close to the loom, but since we rarely need any cloth goods made, it's really a non-issue.

This building was finished in 1075. In 1077 Zorphias Eshan was apprenticed to Abod Niltellist. - Jamini
14. The Farms

( 1053 Early Spring to 1100 Late Winter )
These three farms grow the staple crops of Ulolgeshud. Sweet pods, Pig Tails, and Cave wheat. While the building doesn't look it, a layer of dirt makes the entire area underground.

To the right you can see the rooms of the planter Echo and the cook Frea. - Jamini
14. The Looms

( 1054 to 1100 )
This building houses Ulolgeshud's Carpenter's Workshop, Loom, Clothier's Workshop, and Dyer's Workshop. Sneakypete lives here alone, after Frea's death. - Jamini
14. The suburbs

( 1053 Early Spring to 1100 )
These small nine tile buildings are the home of any unattached dwarf. Fully furnished with a bed, coffer, and cabinet, they are a place any dwarf would be prod to call home. - Jamini
¶ 8. The catacombs

( 1056 to 1090 )
Every citizen dwarf of Ulolgeshudwill have a tomb before their death. These rooms are smoothed and every set of two share an engraving done by the founder Frea. Every casket itself is going to be made of some sort of metal (the ones featured here are tin) as are the doors.

In short, it's a very dwarven place to rest after death. This place also doubles as a schoolhouse during the winter months. - Jamini
