![]() ![]() Some deserts will still have rain, meaning murky pools will be refilled, but they will quickly evaporate in summer. Water and wood were my only sticky points. Explorers for years will be wondering about the great rectangular pit in the middle of the desert, filled with water and strange stonework, and the treasures that live in the murky water below.Ī little off topic but I hope it gives you some inspiration. But, I decided to keep the pump stack running until the pit was mostly filled and abandoned the fortress. I left the screwpumps running while I tabbed away and returned to find the mayor's quater's flooded thanks to an overlooked diagonal channel, and water pouring out of the fortifcations into the pit below.Īside from a few drowned dwarves (the mayor and their family), pigs and some very upset wet dwarves, no major damage was done to the fortress. I had planned on making a mist generator by rerouting water from an underground cavern to a cistern above the dining hall, but I forgot that water can also spread diagonally. The entire pit was surrounded by a 3-high wall and thankfully the only sieges I had were smart enough to go down the rampway and into the loving embrace of my steel-clad defenders, rather than try and climb the wall and throw themselves to a hard, rocky grave 8 or 9 levels below. ![]() I had a spiral rampway leading to a large open plaza on the highest stone layer, where my depot and barracks were located. Nobles were housed in great manses dug into the sides north and south sides of the pit on the apartment levels, seperated from the plebs by fortifications overlooking the pit. At the north end of the pit i'd dug out my dining hall, and on the south side my temple district. Dwarves would walk down narrow stairways, down into the middle of the great pit to work. Every layer above had a 3 tile wide walkway with rooms dug into the sides. At the bottom was a walkway 7 tiles wide and open to the air, with workshops and stockpiles dug into the sides (with furnaces and smelters in the middle, out in the open, so I could imagine the smoke billowing upwards out of the pit. Then the channels got narrower and narrower until I had a kind of inverted triangular prism. I cleared a large flat area and started channeling downwards until I hit a layer that was entirely made of stone. In my last desert embark, I decided to make a Dwarven Petra (with a little Mesoamerican inspiration). Please, friend, share your mind when ready A record keeper, to chronicle the rise of our oasis state.For this I thought, if we are lucky and fast enough, we could breech the cavernous layers and setup a simple homestead to root ourselves for the next steps in our journey.įor the initial step, I have been thinking: Obviously a source of water must be found, and fast, before most other things can take place. With that in mind, The Great Lord has commissioned me and those I select to embark into the hottest of deserts to establish a settlement, to prove our worth in this world, to show Armok that his creation was worthy of his time, and before I die, this will be more than a mere settlement hidden in the ground.no, I will raise the stone and flood the lands and draw the dwarfs and create a lush land for all to witness and enjoy!Īnd for that to take place, a strong stock and plan must be discussed, so please, let us muse over this topic: The Great Lord has decided that our Dwarven Nation shouldn't only be found among the ease of the woodlands and the river, and that we can survive, and thrive, among the most treacherous lands.
