Cavern Civs suggestion
« on: August 05, 2016, 03:45:02 pm »

I think it would be really cool if it would be possible to play as a Underground race and live in the Caverns instead of the boring old aboveground.

You would still embark on the surface and get migrants on the surface, but I see no reason why you should not play underground.

I've done cavern runs with the orcs - embarking on a cavern and moving everything inside the cavern right away.  Makes it tricky to get caravans (you have to dig out a route for them) but is a lot of fun otherwise - the wildlife is a lot more dangerous but you almost always have water, grass, etc even if your topside embark is a desert.  Decent chance of magma, too.

It would be interesting to see a civ that really emphasizes cavern living, though.
