Map Description:

My map for the DFM2 Contest

Point of Interest: Graveyard entrance

As part of the graveyard I was planning on a cool entrance. The lower level would be flooded with water and to access the graveyard you'd have to pull a lever to enable these pumps. the turned on pumps would clear water out long enough for dwarves to get in and do what they need to do. Since I scrapped the graveyard as a project I also didn't bother completing the entrance as it would have required a significant investment in power. - Logo

Running at 30 fps at the moment, my computer is fairly new.

Oooh, very nice.

To bad about the water flowing in from the fortifications. Having a huge waterfall around that central tower would have been epic.

You could probably still do it, you would just need an intricate setup of pumps to remove excess water and pump it back up to the aquifer level. Would kill your FPS though.

Wow... I love that Grotto! That's honestly beautiful, and creates a really neat atmosphere for the underground section of the Fortress. Something about a city built over a flooded cavern evokes a really awesome image in my mind.

Yes, wow... the grotto is certainly the crowning acheivement of the fort. Really gives a sense of outdoors deep beneath the ground.

*gestures at the bridges in grotto*

I must say, I absolutely love the aesthetics of mid-air catwalks, even if their efficiency is worse the grander they are (especially if I make them most catwalky and 1-tile wide - though with staircases, can be several z tall path). Whenever I get a proper excuse, I build one :v
