Just a quick answer: Is it possible to reach islands / another continent in adventure mode?

Background: I am a newbie and I am focusing on learning fortress mode atm. But having two huge continents at the beginning seems like having two separate maps to me. As I want to have all options on my map: Will I ever be able to travel to the other continent in Adventure mode? Are there boats? Is it guaranteed to have caves below the ocian leading to the other continent?

You can swim provided you have enough swimming skill to not drown immediately. Takes a huge amount of time and will drown/abandone you're companion party members, but you'll eventually reach the other side

Get your swimming trunks on!

Yea the only way to get to islands in adv mode is by swimming.

You can swim across with no problem, but don't try it in a cold reagion because the ocean might freeze, killing you.

Sounds like fun, especially with needing food and drinks. ^^

Thanks guys!

you can use forts to build a brige over small gaps.

This works, and legends mode actually respects this - civilizations will be able to reach each other over the bridge.

Or, swim. Beowulf did it, so can you!

You should totally pull a Beowulf.  Wrestle all the deep-dwellers for days on end!

It's impossible unlesss you have no need for sleep/are a vampire.

I need to do this with my vampiromancer. No more wolf and kobold zombies for me, it's whale and sea serpent time.

It should also be possible to enter a cave (or fort) on one side of the ocean, travel through the caverns, then exit from a cave on the other side. This might take a *very* long time, though.

The Underground is perhaps the most interesting idea for that, and it feels like the underground has been sorely neglected by the players with all the new toys.

Swimming is the easiest way, as long as you remember to take enough food and clean water with you. The Underground offers more opportunities for food and drink- But you might get hopelessly lost.

Just a note: travelling long-distance through the underground is possible. I continually mention like to use as an example the game in which I dodged off of a ledge, fell into the first cavern layer, and had to travel for 12 ingame days to reach the nearest cave, continually fighting off trolls, swimming through vast underground lakes with hidden pits, once fell into a 4 z-level pit, broke both legs, and had to wait an extra 2 days to heal, but finally successfully reached the surface again. So it is possible, but that was with a superdwarven adventurer with steel armor and weapons, so it will be very difficult, and it is incredibly easy to get lost.
