Craterbook - 220 Early Summer by TheCatfish

Map Description:

Here's the Upload of my Latest Map, Check the POI for a brief rundown of things.

Point of Interest: 14 - The Pit

At the top you can see my start into beginning to build my dread fortress inside the pit. After it encroaches the surface it'll be bridged and secured before widening near the top.

There is to be a waterfall from the top (which is designated the quaters of the guy in charge. It'll be a full glass panorama of the world around.) to the very bottom here and out into the pit.

There will also be a noble dumping chamber either at the bottom, at the top or somewhere near the middle.

If you are asking how there can be a waterfall, there's no running water, well there is an underground river somewhere, I have yet to find it. - TheCatfish

I don't think you'll be needing room for 36 nobles, considering you'll only ever get 11 (mayor, hammerer, tax collector, dungeon master, baron/count/duke, -ess consort, philosopher, king, queen consort, advisor, and captain of the guard). Unless, of course, you intend to kill your barons/counts/dukes while allowing their consorts to survive.

Of course, with rooms that small, you'll be needing some extreme decorations (masterwork platinum/aluminum statues) to keep the higher nobles happy...

I could be wrong, but those are probably independent rooms for the common dwarves.

They might be unnecessary, but they're quite nice.

I am wrong, ignore me

I edited the POI for Onol Cerolstigaz and added [link] tags around the URL so that it was clickable. By default URLs aren't automatically made into hyperlinks...

Anyhow, neat fort. Looks well contained, and each layer seems to have a clearly designed function. The statue shaped statue arrangement in the great hall made me laugh :)

@Quietust
For the higher Nobles I can knock down more walls between the nodal bits to give them more sections for themselves. Or even the entire floor (contingency plan for the Queen).

@DrazharLn
No worries.

@Markavian
Cheers for editing that. And I robbed the statue ideas from somewhere else, (I think it was boatmurdered), but it looked cool and I stuck with it.

Expect an update soon.

The statue arrangement indeed highly resembles the one from Boatmurdered.
