Kelgeshud Akam - 305 Mid Summer by Naros

Map Description:

Far from finished, and I've learnt some new tricks when it comes to aestetic appeal, so I'm already looking forward to my next fort.

First time I've used Lava.
I used a Fortification to breech the lava, which should act like a grate, but I installed grates and plentiful floodgates regardless.
Three seperate lava forge rooms planned, with floodgates and all.

When dwarves get a Mood, I've learnt to pause, hit Z and forbid all the cheap materials / bars.
This has gotten me a Steel High Boot and a Steel Shortsword, as well as a 1.5 million Aluminium Throne. Doesn't always work, but is worth the trouble!

Defense corridor is being hollowed out, and will be open to the sky so the dumb dwarves don't run straight into the goblins.
A line of 5 chained up dogs, right around a corner seems to insta-gib kobolt thieves about 40% of the time.
The fortress' lone male cat seems to make a point of spotting them, giving them a chance to run away, though. He may have to go.

While mostly awesome, the area is just too big for my poor CPU. And I got 3 out of 4 really good artifacts aswell! :(
I'll be rebuilding a lot of it's features on my next map as I like the overall layout and elements.
New map has sand. But not lots of Obsidian. But lava. So I intend to basically mine out and refil areas of the map to make my whole fort be in Obsidian.
Long term plan. c.c
