Fenceskull - 327 Late Spring by _nil_

Map Description:

the obsidian dome of fenceskull! many dudes enter, no dudes leave! except for traders

Fenceskull boasts 37 million created value, a trade surplus, and a population of 232 dwarves.

Point of Interest: 13. Frontliner plaza

The bedrooms to the left and those on two levels below house various champions. The bedrooms to the right, however, house the "Frontliners," soldiers too scarred to spar up to legendary but too skilled to waste on civilian duty. They are led by Bim, a grand master sworddwarf with one eye and 96 kills. In order to exempt them from rent, I used the swimming pool in the middle to train them to be legendary swimmers. Every winter it freezes, and when it thaws in the spring it is replenished. I drain it to a safe level using the chamber one lever down, which in turn provides some of the worst tasting well water in Fenceskull. - _nil_

That's a cool dome, what use is th spiral staircase up the middle?

That will be my entrance road, designed to both efficiently kill invaders and to use gravity to bring their gear to the trade depot's doorstep.

Your dome is definitely not half done yet. Interesting Idea though.

How did the entrance work for you?

Sucks about the stuck guy, seems like a bummer. Maybe revert to a save before it happened?

I actually haven't gotten an invasion (due to the bug, mostly) since the entrance ramp was fully closed off. Before that I was having some trouble with ranged enemies sniping my staircases. Otherwise, though, it works great; I have huge piles of gear on a number of those bridges, ready to be dropped.

Also, trying out the new image tags:

Its turned out to be a fantastic dome, and living area by the looks of things. You don't see buildings like that on this world very often (can't think of any), really cool stuff.
