Balanced Wheels - 306 Mid Spring by squirrelwizard

Map Description:

Well, the tower cap farm is constructed, I've made a safe drinking/fishing area on the underground river.

We had our first two sieges, which claimed the lives of a couple merchants and a hammer dwarf. Currently the goblins are laying siege again, but I locked them out as my goblin incenerator isn't finished.

I also managed to luck myself into a breeding pair of cave crocs. (which was a pain in the ass because the wild cave crocs have killed more dwarves than goblins.)

I'm now working on my goblin incenerator (also my elf incenerator) and I'll probably be expanding my living quarters some.

Population: 105
Casualties: 28

Point of Interest: Tower Cap Farm

This is the first story of my 3 story tower cap farm. when flooding is needed, teh bridges to the south lower letting the underground river flow in. It takes a while to flood, but isn't too slow. - squirrelwizard

What tileset are you using? It's nice looking.

Points of Interest

Δ 15. Goblin Incenerator (incomplete)
This is going to be my goblin incenerator trap, basically when the internals are done, I'll have the bridge over a pool of lava, with the flick of a switch, magma is pumped into the room where it raises the current level to lethal heights. - squirrelwizard
Δ 15. Trade Depot and Elf Incenerator
This is where my Trade Depot is, it is a tad open (when the bridges are down) but eventually I'll be able to have a dwarf pump magma in it and burn the elves, just because.

underneath the depot is going to be a room of magma smashing floodgates, as I dont have access to a chasm, and I need to be able to get rid of the magma once the elves are charred lumps of ash. - squirrelwizard
Δ 14. Graphical Glitch?

( 306 Mid Spring to 306 Mid Spring )
For some reason my dwarf fortress exports the images with some weird glitching. In some cases rooms are cut short, or in others they're added on to. In this case this wall is supposed to only be one square thick. - squirrelwizard
Δ 14. Power Plant Room
This is where I diverted the water to make a power plant to run my various mechanism. it does flow (even though its open on only one end) and my machines would be working if I had built more water wheels. As it stands, I dont want my machines working just yet, so I've put it off.

This is also the place where the underground river critters like to mill about in my fortress from. (Yes I used Fortifications as a filter when I breached the river, but they come and go as they please.) - squirrelwizard
