Had a very... strange experience *SPOILERS*
« on: January 17, 2011, 07:53:50 pm »
So several of my dorfs are dying of thirst. I had a horrible embark plan, and I was going to breach hell and abandon.
 I breach the first cavern layer... nothing.
I breach the second cavern layer... nothing.
I breach the third cavern layer... WAIT!
I see a glowing pit!
wtf?!
oh wait...
no hell announcment...
I continue to dig, expecting to breach the magma sea and...
I breach hell.
nothing more, nothing less.
no influx of demons, no nothing.
"feh."

ABANDONED



NOTE: I think this may be due to me specifying 5 cavern layers (?) in the custom parameter set.
I am using deons genesis mod.

I don't know much about hell since I never dig that deep, but would it be possible to build a fortress inside it? That would be pretty cocky.

its been done to varying extents.  First person to do it did so by modding puppies to be 10 time larger than demons.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

There's probably an upright Adamantine Longsword somewhere, sealing the demons back.

Every Kobold on the continent will be drawn to it like a magnet.

Bug. NO FIX PLIX!

Basically, I think this is because hell is spesified as the fourth cavern -- and you can only have 3 in gen -- then if you set more than 3, it counts hell as the 4th.
...Maybe?
At any rate, I'm testing this now.
Shall post results soon~!

Maybe there are three regular caverns, two fake hells, and one real hell, since there's supposed to be five caverns.

I thought demons would just respawn endlessly? Pretty neat nonetheless.

It takes a while, you have to wait for them.

They bide their time, then suddenly come hording out on you.

It still may be broken in your case, but thats what i got.

Okay, so, I dug down.
Three caverns.
Magma sea.

No luck for me, must have been a lucky RNG!
