Newcastle - 109 Mid Spring by Mrok Girl

Map Description:

Another half-year update.

Point of Interest: Chamber B

Not much progress here. The Chamber needs more scaffolding (up/down stairs) on this level and then I shall move to the next one. For now though the masons are busy building nobles' quaters so it might still be a while before they'll get on with this project. - Mrok Girl

Black line, something to do with DF exporting the map before compressing.

holy crap you really like circles

i assume you intended name it after Newcastle.

Submitted by: Mrok Girl - 2009-02-23 to 107 Late Spring

Yes, I love circles :)
And yes, I did intend to name it after Newcastle in UK. It's where our rp game of Mage: the Awakening is taking place. All the dwarves here (except some of the kiddies) are named after the player characters and the NPCs from that game of which you can read here.

Thanks for the comments!

I just noticed the scale of the dig... *fast forwards a year*

... cave pool in the way, planning to move that? :)
Seemingly epic construction, I just found the existing tower at the end of a long tunnel. How old is this fort?

About.. 5 years? Can't remember if it starts in 100 or 101.

Still not sure what to do with the cave pool. I want to get rid of it from there but it's also a nice source of cave lobster shell. I have time untill the big cavern is dug out to decide.

8 FPS now with the traders and goblin ambushers around... this will take forever ^^'

You could clear everyone out, drain the pool to the bottom of the chamber, then rebuild the broken section. Perhaps turn that section of ramps at the bottom into a little island. It would be fun for an adventurer to look around!

Why is it all made of stairs?

Submitted by: Mrok Girl - 2009-02-25 to 108 Mid Spring

It's made of stairs so that hollowing it out will be safer and easier. It takes more time than ramps but at least this way I can see where I'm going :)

The dome is amazing, but I think my favorite highlight is the "ZY" carved several z-levels into the ground.

Chamber B is coming along very well, the central support is a work of art its its own right.

This is going to look sick. IN a good way.

You can download the compressed map file: 2009-02/mrokgirl-Newcastle-region16-109-3564.fdf-map but you will need the .NET version of SL's DF Map Compressor to convert to the .PNG image format.
