Ulolgeshud - 1057 Early Spring by Jamini

Point of Interest: The great goblin gear stockpile

Tons of narrow iron gear fills this stockpile, waiting for our resident blacksmith to melt it down.

Considering we get 2-4 ambushes a year, each containing around six goblins... (who on average carry 8 pieces of iron gear and 1 piece of non-iron gear). Even if you include the ones who escape (normally 1-2) and exclude the wrestlers (normally another 1-2) we STILL get approximately 48 pieces of iron gear to melt down. It takes a LONG time for us to get through that, especially considering Abod needs to burn a log for charcoal first, and she has other things to do aside from melt goblin gear shit...

So yeah, we have a lot of it. - 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 great goblin gear stockpile
Tons of narrow iron gear fills this stockpile, waiting for our resident blacksmith to melt it down.

Δ 14. The office District

( 1057 Early Spring to 1100 Early Spring )
These two buildings are the start of the offices for out soon-to-be-required sheriff and bookkeeper. Underneath the right building a number of twisty passageways lead to incomplete 3x3 cells (which will eventually be filled with chains, beds, and food/drink stockpiles.) - Jamini
¶ 14. The residential block

( 1057 to 1100 )
Small houses line the streets, as the homes of our children and current citizens begin to take shape. Most of this area is natural stone, so roofing is actually mostly going to take the shape of covering up dirt and grass. - Jamini
Δ 10. The gold mine
Not much to say here, I saw some gold not too far from the village and dug a tunnel to get it. Pretty nice stuff, that gold.

Abod was VERY happy to get to use it. - Jamini
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
Δ 5. The chasm
A deep cleft cuts into the mountain here.

I knew I had a chasm around 1052, when I noticed that a dead naked mole dog was on my units list. However, I hadn't made any efforts to find it until recently.

Now I know WHERE it is, and WHAT it contains. It also makes a very convenient and much safer garbage dump than a dwarven atom smasher. Especially since there are no flying critters within!

I dearly hope nothing is hidden here. - 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
