Goblin Tunnels
« on: December 04, 2009, 11:20:38 am »

Reading the wiki when i came across a mention of underground goblin roads, does anyone have a bit more information on these, such as if there will be goblins or loot inside them, and how i can find one to explore.

And, they came. My fingers tingled, my nose twitched and my toes tickled... they came around the corner, over my bridge... Into my courtyard... Onto my trade depot...

Then everything near it exploded in a cloud of blood.

These are TUNNELS, not roads, and they dig them between mountain towers. You have to add [WORLD_CONSTRUCTION:ROAD] to their entity file to give them ability to build roads. And you won't find there anything special, but where these tunnels breach chasms there're bridges above a chasm and usually lots of chasm creatures to kill.

Has anyone ever embarked on (not in, i know that's not yet possible) a goblin or dwarven tunnel?  Always wanted to try, but the process of locating one seemed way too daunting. eh wrong forum

Heh. I took an adventurer through one once. He was one of my early adventurers, before I really understood how the game worked. Fresh out of character creation, went off to a Dark Fortress and was surprised to find mostly dwarves. Found a tunnel, walked for what must have been an hour, then ran into a massive pile of antmen and troglodytes. Game over.

From my experience, Goblin tunnel entrances are usually found deep inside of certain goblin fortresses. My advice would be to just simply start visiting as many goblin fortresses and going down several floor, evetually it should lead to a passage that will take you into a tunnel.

Be aware that once you go into the tunnel you can't "travel" till you get out of the tunnel and they are usually very long. So bring some food and water in the process.

And be ready to fight many subterranian creature as well.
