Mon Xestsu, Wardpillars.
« on: July 19, 2008, 07:23:10 pm »
I have uploaded a map of the fortress (Wardpillars) I started recently. I am still playing in .38c at the moment. I am not ready to switch over to the new version yet.

I also have a map of the world (Mon Zestsu) the fort was built in (I have also included the seed). Take a look and let me know what you think.

I would love to here comments and suggestions for the fortress.
I am still rather new to DF.

From the looks of it you just started, so there isn't much to say.  I would dedicate a chamber to farming pretty quick, and secure the outside area.  The terrain outside your entrace looks pretty defensible.  You might want to take out the slopes around the entrace though, so invaders have to enter through the brook area.

(You can take out slopes by pressing d then z, if you didn't already know.)

I wish I could find a map that cozy.

How'd you get the colors like that? It looks much nicer than stock DF.

Cthulhu, if you are interested in the map I posted the seed for world generation along with the image of Mon Zestsu. I will update the world map to give a general indication of where I embarked.

Edit: DwarfMan69, search for color schemes in the DF wiki. I used the Natural scheme.

Check here for some alternative color schemes: http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Color_schemes

Edit: posted at the same time as Hanuman, semi-overlap in information. Oops.
