The Citadel of Artifice - 156 Early Summer by Teeto_K

Map Description:

Here we find the Citadel mid siege, a year later! The army rushes out to rescue our haulers, fishermen, and hunters so they can retreat inside!

Point of Interest: A Hole In One!

This goblin corpse was blasted here by the mighty hammer blow of the dwarven champion to the north. If you scroll down a level, you'll notice that the goblin was kind enough to deposit several of his body parts in our newly erected open-air refuse pile for us as he blew apart against the wall, saving us great effort in hauling.

The open-air refuse pile is walled off with microline, and was added after mass complaints that our former indoor pile was too smelly with disgusting miasma. The old pile is still in use, but only for bones, skulls, and shells. - 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.

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.
