Trutharch - 154 Early Spring by Maisoul

Map Description:

Now in traditional ASCII... as, on reflection, it does look better after all.
At least when I remember to reset all the options relating to it, and not just set graphics to 'NO'.

The main keep is taking shape, and is almost entirely roofed over. I need to decide whether I'm going to put all dwellings in there, or just 'noble' dwellings, and build the commoners' bedrooms elsewhere, later.
I know I'm definitely going to have to expand out from just the keep and build a 'village', just to have somewhere to put the workshops.

Point of Interest: Bushfire?

So I guess there was a bushfire here whilst I wasn't looking.
Something probably pestered one of the fire imps or magma men, I guess...

Can't believe I missed it, though. How annoying. - Maisoul

The HTML5 map viewer is currently in Alpha mode - I'm actively trying to develop new functionality.

There should be many very obvious problems with the viewer; please check the Issues page to notify or comment on the most egregious problems to help me prioritise. The most common will be Loading... with an error in the browser developer tools console. e.g. RangeError: Offset is outside the bounds of the DataView. Feel free to report a problem with a link to the problematic map or point of interest.

A glass castle? I'm building something like it; the difference is that I'm building a glass tower, and that the tower won't do anything but look fancy.

Personally, I think that some tilesets (especially the shaded ones) are too fancy and distracting. I prefer modest tilesets like the default one. I don't like character sets for the same reason.

Generally, a castle is a tower with a couple of walls around it anyway.
I think the main difference is that I'm looking to expand horizontally, if I must, rather than too far vertically. I picked this level because there was a fair amount of room to the north for further structures - I'd have gone for the next Z-level down for laziness if I just wanted to go up.

Problems?

Do you only see a blank space?

You can download the compressed map file: 2008-12/maisoul-Trutharch-region4-154-2126.fdf-map but you will need the .NET version of SL's DF Map Compressor to convert to the .PNG image format.
