The Citadel of Artifice - 155 Early Spring by Teeto_K

Map Description:

A year has passed. Much is the same, some is different. Indecision about the nature of our main entrance runs rampant. The army has changed their duds, and the immigrants are soon to be coming and we're out of wood to make them beds with.

Here's hoping the Elves bring logs instead of cloth. Or at least a giant desert scorpion.

Point of Interest: The New Entrance Ramp

Over the last year, the surface building has been erected by our trusty experienced masons and a small crew of grunt workers. The original stairway entrance to the fort has been re-opened to provide an access shaft, and this ramp will provide entry into the top level of the fortress.

You'll note that as yet, the ramp is sealed off by a stone wall, which will be removed later when preparations are complete.

Some dwarves claim that this endeavor is wasteful, considering that in the early summer they had just finished remodelling the underground entrance, on the level immediately below this. - Teeto_K

Like the gardens, and the butchers area. Nice fortress.

Just a heads up, you'll need to remolded your above ground ramp, it won't work as it is. you need to have at least 2 tiles of flat space on each level between the ramps Wider steps basically. Its because the entire caravan has to be on the current z level before it can go up another.

Disregard this if your not planning on letting caravans up it though.

hahah! I should use a "fireball dodging dog" to catch imps on my next fort.

OOh, thanks for the tip on the ramp. Yeah, the plan is to floor over and wall off the old entry in favor of the new one.

"Its because the entire caravan has to be on the current z level before it can go up another."

He means the entire wagon, not the whole caravan. So you need enough room for a wagon to rest on flat ground: 2 ground tiles, and 1 ramp tile. I went with 3 and 1 just for fun.

I do not think that is the case, but I could be wrong if its in the new version. In previous versions I was able to have ramps side by side with nothing in between and it worked out fine for caravans. This may nor work if the caravan has to do any turns though.

I could test it. Fairly easily. The catch is, I think this siege prevented my human caravan this year. I could set up the ramp for the dorfs, save, then see, then savescum.
