Twolancers - 216 Early Winter by ryo!

Map Description:

A lot has happened in the past year (Or however long it's been). Three megabeasts (Zombie dragon, zombie hydra and dragon) have arrived and all were captured by my new cage traps, the baron arrived, who is now the count and the construction of the battlements is complete, with fortifications for my marksdwarves. And more, which I can't be bothered to type out right now.

To do:
-Find somewhere suitable to build new archery targets and store bolts
-Complete construction of the colosseum
-Test out the colosseum - Megabeast fight!

Point of Interest: Floor -4 - tombs

1/8 of my non-noble dwarf tombs are full now. 1 baby, 1 fisherdwarf and the other 6 wrestlers. 5 of those wrestlers were killed in sparring accidents, while the other 3 dwarves were killed during goblin ambushes (The baby was beheaded when a goblin thief got a lucky shot right next to my squad of legendary wrestlers - the goblin was promptly torn limb from limb). - ryo!

Liking the battlements, what is that road made out of leading east?

Submitted by: ryo! - 2008-09-02 to 215 Early Summer

Bauxite, with small microcline roads either side.

I want to see this Colosseum you're building.

A zombie dragon AND a zombie hydra..!? Upload that fight!

And nice map, a lot of neat ideas here.

I think your pyramid needs a gold top.

Also, yay Colosseum!

Submitted by: Dakira - 2008-09-20 to 221 Early Summer

Woo Gold capped pyramid!

I'd like to see what happens with that temple you're building. Are you going to keep the second floor curved at all?

Are the buildings at the ground z level, northeast corner of your fortress green houses?

by the way i love your fortress!

I'm not really going to change the temple at all (Apart from removing the three staircases at the sides).

And those (phyllite) bridges are basically greenhouses - I don't really need them there, but it makes it easier to access the doors to the northeast.

What I think you need is a giant underground construction. You already have loads of aboveground buildings and you are running out of stone, so why not dig out a gigantic pit or other elaborate structure to throw your goblins into. Or even better you could dig out an underground cathedral like this one: Ectosack

Use the format: [map=3036] for internal links, sorry about that.

...I'm new, so I might be mistaken, but do I see some sort of goblin prison on the surface??

Submitted by: ryo! - 2008-09-29 to 222 Mid Summer

Heh, it's actually the aftermath of a goblin ambush - though sieges always require me to increase the size of my refuse stockpile.

Loved the road :-) when was the fort founded?

Submitted by: ryo! - 2008-10-17 to 226 Early Winter

I can't actually remember, but fortunately my dwarves can - according to the engravings in the fort, Twolancers was founded in the early spring of 212.
