Goldparch - 1054 Early Spring by Yojimbo

Map Description:

4 years in and things are starting to shape up. The first part of the port is just about ready. Marble and magnetite discoveries are going to help our military situation quite a bit. Initial defenses are complete and we are preparing for the arrival of the Nobility soon.

Point of Interest: Elf torture

( 1054 → 1100 )

This is where we do rude things to trees. Chop'em up and burn down. Keeping it in sight of the depot so when the faerie lads come to visit we can get the full effect. - Yojimbo

Goldparch was founded on the mandate for a port in the region to handle a major trade route through the area. This will include a light house, port facilities, warehouses, roads leading North and East and a garrison to defend all of it.

Goldparch had a very good first year. Housing and initial production of food stuffs and building material has already gotten underway. 11 immigrants have already joined the work force and have dove right into the projects at hand. The only down spot was that the first caravan wagons coming from the North were unable to make it.

It would be very cool if you could build boats (wagons) in DF and send expeditions off. It could be an alternative to "abandonning a fort" ... you could go off and start a new outpost somewhere else.

Good work with your fort sofar.

Awesome. This is the first, "port-fort" i've seen.

Well themed, love the great map room.

Wonderful fortress! I love all the non-functional elements, particularly the docks, map room, and lighthouse. The golden roof is a great touch.
Definately gives me the feeling that I am looking at a port city.

You have inspired me to make my own port fort Yojimbo. Hopefully I will be releasing it soon.

the HMS DwarfHammer is incredible! I'm very impressed with the design, it looks like a real ship!

still looking good. I wasn't expecting the HMS DwarHammer and now the idea of a submarine pen is in mind.

Dwarves sailing the high seas?! This is madness!

This is one of the most unique and awesome forts I've ever seen. Good job!

From now on, every fort i make that reaches at least 30 inhabitants shall have a McUrist's Pub 'n Disco.
