Crystalumbra - 1061 Late Spring by Mister Six

Map Description:

A few waves of immigrants have arrived, and recently a caravan brought an anvil so Crystalumbra can get started on churning out iron products. The first such product was a well, made from an iron bucket, iron chain, and iron block. The current forge project is creating a stockpile of iron bolts.

Point of Interest: Entry Corridor

Now featuring cage traps; I will probably move these forward a bit and put a line or two of obsidian sword weapon traps in later. - Mister Six

I like the start on your skylights, and the rooftop barracks. I've been using similar designs on an island fortress, although my (incomplete; one more winter to go) dining hall is glass all around; floor, walls, and ceiling. What makes it nifty is that the walls and entire floor look into the lake.

Thank goodness hailstorms don't exist, 'cause if they are as mean as the carp are, they'd bust that little ballroom right open.

Points of Interest

Δ Well (Side View)

( 1061 Late Spring to onwards )
As fierce predators such as leopards, jaguars, alligators and crocodiles have been spotted in the area, a secure well was needed for times when alcohol unexpectedly runs out. A cistern was dug out and off of the (then-unfilled) water tunnels that go toward the ponds. 3 levels of water, one of empty space, and then the floor of the well room. - Mister Six
Fortifications

( 1059 Early Winter to onwards )
With a lack of mountain terrain to give the dwarves the height advantage in defense they prefer, they have constructed an elevated fortification platform to spot invaders at a distance and take them out with ranged weapons. - Mister Six
¶ Entry Corridor

Δ Glass skylight (In progress)

( 1061 Late Spring to onwards )
A two-level skylight that will provide lighting for a portion of the dining hall, to cut down on incidences of cave adaptation. The project has been temporarily suspended due to the irritating difficulty of getting empty bags for collecting sand. Dwarves just love to stuff seeds in bags. - Mister Six
Farms & Sand

( 1059 Early Winter to onwards )
A large indoor plot, and a smaller plot exposed to the sun. To the right, a large area of sand for future sand collection. - Mister Six
Dining Hall

( 1059 Early Winter to onwards )
Sparse, and with rough-hewn walls. This dining hall will surely be expanded and upgraded in the future. - Mister Six
Magma pool

( 1059 Early Winter to onwards )
