here is my prototype defence setup for a 2D fotress, specifically 23a, so none of your fancy z-axis witchcraft here, bit excessive but i wanted to see what people thought of it:



the big rooms above and below the main road will be crammed with marksdwarves, as well as the gatehouse. ballistas at the big b's and plenty of ammo at the red stockpiles, doors not included as i want the entrance to allow traders inside, and i dont really need them thanks to the drawbridges. when the road drawbridges are up the enemy has to take an excessively circuitous route past ballistas and fortified barracks's (i missed drawing fortification lines for the top and bottom barracks so they can fire on the u bend sorry), followed by a death march through the main entrance, whilst being bombarded on all sides, if they should get to the gatehouse they will be weakened enough for me to let my axedwarves slaughter them.

central road is only included as an option, ill probably just keep the bridges down and use the side entrances for security, making sure to make connecting roads too

oh! and there will be tons of weapon traps wherever they can be placed as well.

opinions?

It needs a z-axis.

But seriously. It's much more regular fun to work in 3 dimensions.

with this ver i get 2 rivers guaranteed, a chasm, and a lava pipe, as well as plenty of minerals and gems.

the world gen in the latest version just seems to constantly <EXPLETIVE BALEETED> me over time and time again.

with my design im also planning to introduce a lava flooding lever, so that i can choose whether i have lava in the channels around my base or water, or maybe even both for steam powered fun
