Fortitude

Winner of the Build-a-Map Contest 4 in the Medium Maps category. Now updated for 1. 0! A crumbling fortress perched between two distinct landscapes. An impenetrable stronghold, now open to explore. Gather your beavers and venture beyond the crumbling fortress walls. This map has many secrets, channels and craters ready to be exploited. Can you contend with the growing badwater flowing from the fortress towers? Fresh water is just beyond the walls, and those bricks don't look too sturdy to me. Fertile land is sparce and fresh water is shallow, slowly build up your colony and stretch out towards the fortress where a bounty of open land and metal scrap are yours for the taking. Medium / Hard Difficulty. Comfortable to get your district off the ground but tricky to expand without some planning! --- Starting Tips: - Stock up on water as much as you can. The pools of water are shallow but some well placed dams can lock up a healthy amount of water from the start. You may need surplus for tip number two.. - Several open areas of land can be unlocked with a few well-placed water dumps. - You start surrounded by badwater. Read the terrain and close off or filter out badwater but be warned, some currents are mighty strong and could lead to some dangerous overflowing! - It may look like you have an abundance of wood but you can easily be caught out. Be sure to get those stairs out early on. A lot of good sources are just a stair or two away..
