Perplexedcrafts - 206 Late Spring by sneb84

Map Description:

My first fortress where things are actually working fairly well.

Point of Interest: Transfer Island

this is where i try to trap all invaders. i raise the inner bridge and let them pile up on this island, then i raise the bridge behind them and douse them with water from above hopefully washing them into the moat where they will drowned. it is currently untested. - sneb84

You know, you can "hide" engravings through the [d]esignations menu mate. replaces them with a wall-like symbol. much easier to see... everything.

I find all that flooding rather... worrying...

thanks for the advice sneakypete i will be sure to do that. and with the flooding at first it bothered me but since it never stops raining nothing ever evaporates. sooo if something gets wet is stays wet.. forever. so alot of the water you see shouldnt be there. the mountain to the south where the water tower is is covered in water that leaked out of the tower so it looks prety bad but its actually pretty safe. no flooding accidents yet!

Points of Interest

Δ 25. Aqueduct
this is really my pride and joy of this map, an aquaduct used to fill my moat and wash enemies into it or drowned them. currently its not full because when all the pumps are going and the water is falling and flowing it slows my compy down crazy. i wait for a seige before i turn it on. - sneb84
Δ 25. Pump tower
another feat of dwarven engineering! pumps water up 11 z-levels! took about 2 years to complete. - sneb84
Δ 20. Broken windmill
this windmill i was using for a millstone but suddenly it stopped working. i thought maybe raising it up higher would get it to go but it didnt help. so currently i have no sugar flour or dimple dye. - sneb84
Δ 18. Battlements
walkways with fortifications all around the fort. The moat keeps away some of the invaders while my elite marksdwarves take pot shots at them. - sneb84
Δ 18. ideas?
i would like to add a second enterance here so my dwarves can go out and get wood more efficently. i just dont know how to make it really secure. i can make a moat or anything because i have stuff just below the surface here. anyone have any suggestions? - sneb84
Δ 17. Barracks
Barracks where i train my champion wrestler dwarves(they realllly dont like to train with weapons for some reason). there are also 4 archery ranges close by with an ammo stockpile on the left. - sneb84
Δ 17. Control Station
all the levers that control the defenses. i labeled them with notes so i actually know what they do. from left to right. Drain moat to inside. Drain moat to outside. Fill moat from aqueduct. Fill transfer island. Raise inner bridge. Raise outer bridge. Turn pumps on. Unassigned. - sneb84
Δ 17. Trade Depot
Trade Depot that is quite accessible. - sneb84
Δ 17. Transfer Island
this is where i try to trap all invaders. i raise the inner bridge and let them pile up on this island, then i raise the bridge behind them and douse them with water from above hopefully washing them into the moat where they will drowned. it is currently untested. - sneb84
Δ 16. Agiriculture workshops
where the materials are cooked, brewed, and weaved. also where the leatherworks and butchers workshop is. - sneb84
Δ 16. Drain
here i can drain the moat and collect all that sweet sweet goblin loot. right now it takes forever and isnt very usefull there is also a access into the fort from the moat that could be used as a secret escape hatch. - sneb84
Δ 16. Farm
Farm and food stockpiles. boring. - sneb84
Δ 16. Material stockpiles
where raw meterials and finished goods are kept. workshops are locked just below for easy access. - sneb84
Δ 16. Ore and Bar Stockpile
unsmelted ore and metal bars stored here right above the smelters and blacksmith. - sneb84
Δ 16. Power station
i wouldnt be able to power all those pumps with windmills so i used 1 windmill to pump some water up 1 z-level and then used that water to power 8 waterwheels. - sneb84
Δ 15. Armor and Weapons
armor and weapons stockpiles. right next to the foundry wish i could get it closer to the barracks. oh well the dwarves can come and pickup the stuff the need. - sneb84
Δ 15. Factory
this is where all the production workshops are kept. - sneb84
Δ 15. Foundry
here we have the magma smelters and the blacksmiths i have recently expanded it and accidently killed 2 of my legendary miners(oops!) - sneb84
Δ 15. MAGMA!!
magma yay! - sneb84
Δ 15. Unatural reservoir
This was kind of a side affect of all the pumping and draining. it created a semi reservoir. for some reason it NEVER and i mean never stops raining on this map. so the tiles never evaporate unless there is something above it. at first it was annoying but now i am used to it. i kind of like the idea of a fortress being seiged by goblins in the rain. - sneb84
Δ 14. Well controlls
these levers controll the water for the well way down in the appartments. - sneb84
Δ 13. Dining room
I know this dining room is pathetic but its just a placeholder for now ill eventually get a truly nice on for my dwarves. - sneb84
Δ 11. Nobels quarters
this is where i keep all those feisty nobels. i only really have a Mayor, DM, and a Captain of the guard right now but i a prepared for more when the arrive. my last fortress i struck adamantite way early and the queen showed up and instantly went insane because i had no quarters suitable for her. not this time. oh also the offices are on the right. i know most people dont like engraving but i have 3 legendary engravers somehow so i thought it would be a waste to not use their talents, especially for the nobels. - sneb84
Δ 10. Appartments
Ugh these are really lacking. i find myself always short on wood because i am training my marksdwarves. i will soon get these up to par and make sure all my dwarves have their very own room to sleep. - sneb84
Δ 10. Well
Its a well near the appartments! yay! - sneb84
Δ 5. Mine
Mining fomr some decent metal. no iron yet. lots of surface copper and stuff. - sneb84
Δ 1. Dungeon
The jail. - sneb84
Δ Catacombs
For all my dead dwarves, and pets too i guess. - sneb84
