Why can't I find the edge of the map?
« on: June 01, 2013, 09:41:42 am »
I just bought a brand new laptop and downloaded dwarf fortress right away. To start I generated a world, prepare to play, and I started playing. When I am exploring the place I picked I notice that my cursor stops some distance before I reach the end of my map. Why is this? If you can offer any help that would be great  :)

Assuming you're talking about the fortress mode minimap, you have reached the edge. The cursor is over the tile in the center of the area shown in the main window. So you can't get to the edge because you're already the seeing the cursor's tile, and all those around it. If that makes any sense.

It took me forever to figure that out. I have no idea why it isn't obvious.
