Lancethinned - 1066 Late Spring by corc

Map Description:

I was playing around with making my own tileset and let this fort run while I was doing graphics editing... it's the largest I've had (220 when the queen came). The large arena I made slowed my fps down quite a bit (15-18fps), so I don't think I'll do something like this again unless I limit myself to 50 or so dwarves.

I cheated a little... to get sand. The embark screen listed red sand, but I couldn't find it :( I'll point out my mistakes I made before I went ahead and added [sand] to the clay loam raw data. I had already made 100s of bags for the sand, and didn't want to waste time embarking again... which might have saved me time from what I actually did. :P

Point of Interest: Grand Catacombs

( 1066 Late Spring → onwards )

The Queen gets the hammer-shaped tomb as a symbol of her leadership over all the dwarves.
The leaf and skull (life and death) tombs are unspoken for as of yet... possibly for the next king/queen if the current one bites it somehow.
188 open coffins
4 noble tombs
2 royalty tombs
1 king/queen - corc

I like the tileset. Makes the fort feel very neat and tidy.

Thanks!
The boxart and font lettering are my work, but I stole the rest from other sets from the wiki.
I've got to work on it some more so the tables/chairs are better looking--I got use to them, but I dunno if others would.

seconded on the "grand" area.

also found your storage shaft interesting. I may have to steal it from you.

Seeing the arena from this viewer let me know how big and silly it really was :P

I had a lot of plans for it... big epic mega beast fights and all... but I only ever got a Hydra, no trolls in the sieges either! :(

I've been trying to perfect the storage shaft idea for awhile... I use to just glump everything into one custom pile, but this is the first time I separated each level to something different--I'll have to pay more attention to where the shops are and which stockpile is closest to them.

Thanks for the comments! :D

Are you planning on releasing your tileset, or has it been already?

It looks damn brilliant!
