A desert fortress on the edge of the world. My longest lived and largest fortress to date.
The dwarves had to survive with no native wood to speak of, not to mention the many goblin sieges, two titan and three dragon attacks.
Scorchedhammer also faced an onslaught of dirty elves who claimed we were cutting down too many trees.
Rant:
Several Tentacle Demons were successfully caged based on the Dungeon Master's plan.
The dwarves that lost their lives in cleaning up the demons that did not get trapped, will be honored in the tombs to the west, near the battle itself. - burnedfx

I enjoy this fort a lot. It's aesthetically really nice, esp. the waterfall and such. Did you change your colour scheme from the default?
Submitted by: burnedfx - 2009-11-29 to 198 Early Spring
Thanks Retro!
I used the color scheme from the wiki called "Another natural scheme" and also edited the foreground color of the sky to "1", which is separate from the color scheme itself.
The full thing looks like this:[SKY:178:1:0:0]

"There are no trees, ergo you dwarves chopped them all down?" WAR
Destroy them all!

Definitely an excuse to wage war on the elves, not that the dwarves needed one.
According to the wiki, their threats were based on the quota of wood in my stockpiles, no matter the source (tower-cap or traded).
Unreasonable bastards.

Hey, this is Plac1d's graphics set isn't it?
I'm a big fan of his work myself, but what tileset and resolution are you using?
Submitted by: burnedfx - 2009-12-09 to 198 Early Spring
Hey Coal,
Yes, it is Plac1d's. I love his graphic set as well, although I've gone and "squished it" by using a square tileset, specifically Anikki's 20x20. Oops!

I like the little stories built into your fortress, like the dead-end prison escape tunnel. Also this map just makes me miss cave rivers, I hope Toady adds them in again soon.
