Strongsalves - 105 Early Spring by Sinergistic

Map Description:

There is only so much 5 FPS construction one can stand, so I decided to start a new fort in a more FPS friendly location, and decided to theme it.

This fort, when it is completed, will be a goblin prison POW camp.

I'm playing with the goblin family mod, which adds a bunch of different goblin races, so the g's in cages are goblins, they just don't have graphics.

I also modded in glass Beds, Bins and Barrels.

The fort started in 97 to whom it may interest.

Point of Interest: The Dungeons

( 105 Early Spring → onwards )

The beginning of the dungeons, each of those cages has a goblin in it.

Future plans: Add some magma features dotted around the area, maybe seal off different 'sections' with magma moats and bridges, like the entrance. I also plan on having military patrols through here, once I get enough dwarfs together.

Edit: It's in the comments, but I may as well mention it here as well. I am using the Goblin Family mod (found here) to add a bunch of different goblin types to the game.

'B' = Bugbear
'g' = Goblin Morlock
'w' = Woodwose
'H' = Hobgoblin

And that is all I've encountered so far. - Sinergistic

nice grand stair case! That must have been alot of channeling.

Not really, no, I just channeled around the edges, and then collapsed it ^_^ (after locking my dwarfs up in their bedrooms and the food room)

It took several tries to get it to collapse, I kept pulling the level attached to the supports I had installed, and nothing would happen. I finally got it on the 4th attempt though, after completely channeling around the top level, and then collapsing that down on to the layers below.

all of my *manual collapses* have ended in epic fail so far, I've lost many good miners trying to collapse things and I also managed to bust a hole in my ceiling causing magma to pour in!

"Like woah" - Markavian

So, uh, what bit of it was 'woah'? :P

Edit: I would also like you thank you for your amazing website. I've seen so many cool and inspiring forts since I started browsing it about 8-9 months ago. (didn't register until recently) It is a very awesome service, and a huge boon to the DF community.

What are all the B's in your cages?

Submitted by: Sinergistic - 2009-01-14 to 107 Early Summer

'Bugbears' part of the Goblin Family mod found here.

I tinkered with it a little to adapt it to the kind of fort I wanted (got rid of TRAPAVOID for one, because that just wouldn't work now, would it?). I also removed the [CANSPEAK] tag as well, which leads to all of them wanting me dead. Lots of sieges, lots of ambushes, lots of good times in the future with I begin work on the arenas.

I updated 'The Dungeon' point of interest with a little more info on what's in the cages.

I've seen this tileset being used a lot lately, which one is it?

Submitted by: Sinergistic - 2009-01-16 to 107 Early Summer

I'm using a hand drawn copy of Dortens and whatever came with the mayday v16 set.

I'm still playing around with it and tweaking it to how I want it.

Singergistic, you've hollowed out a huge cylinder with a walk way around the edge of each level. It looks fantasticly grand. And then there's the spiral dungeon on the ground floor. Its just epic proportions. A far cry from the single tunnel hovels that most people begin building.

And thanks for the kind words : )

I haven't had too many problems with manual channeling. My worst problem probably is dealing with the unhappy thoughts of being knocked off your feet.

I would just like to point out the historic 10,000th point of interest attributable to this map. Cheers everyone, I love what you've done for this site :)

Awesome! I love the look of the glass-furnished bedrooms with this tileset. The central shaft of chaotic stairway hell is also amazing, and the spirally area way down below.

Submitted by: Retro - 2009-11-19 to 111 Mid Spring

Very grand-looking fort. Has a nice, smooth feel to it - very much like the basis around the central pit / giant empty space.
