Somberrag - 11 Early Winter by Mcshay

Map Description:

This is my first attempt at a project, a tower in the middle of an artificial lake.

Point of Interest: The Staging Area

( 11 → onwards )

Here's where all of my dwarves have been hiding out during the previous 10 or so years of construction. It's grown to 3x it's origional capacity to house roughly 220 dwarves. - Mcshay

JESUS CHRIST, WTF ARE YOU THINKING, where are the carp or executionary utilities

Unfortunately this map has no carp, or any fish at all really. However, the ice melt occasionally glitches and creates a few unmoving aquatic gophers. They don't downed for some strange reason (until they become encased in ice that is). One group of gophers survived long enough to give birth in my major river, something that I had yet to witness.

Trap wise, I'm going to do something evil with my trade depot. The lack of lava greatly reduces my options, but something involving caged animals and/or water seems best.

Once the tower is done boredom will likely drive me to engineer something for the nobility.

How did you damn that river? Did it freeze for you or was there another way?

Fantastic!

Yeah, it freezes. I picked a cold biome, which led to a half-year of ice.

Status update: School work has cut down on my time recently, however, you will be happy to know that those four bodies seen in year 14 caused a massive tantrum spiral. They had a lot of friends apparently. I'd say about 100 out of 214 dwarves have died as of now, and it's still well underway. The children seemed to resist tantruming until most of the adult population was dead, leaving me now with a handful of survivors and 30 very, very angry kids.

Problems?

Do you only see a blank space?
