I'll keep this quick.
I was playing a Desert Haunted Map.
Some Giant Scorpions, no real problem.
Then came winter.
The River then was covered by thin ice. My First thought was to shrug, eh, it's winter.
But wait I thought, I have no river.
Nonsense says the combat log. (sorry bout the size, but it's a tiny png!)
So now I sit in a desert of snow, with former horses eating my few dwarves.
I am using no mods, no file manipulators, only a tileset from the forum for quite some time now (January at the least).
I am of course going to make a new world and try again. But I figured that this might be of some entertainment to you people. And of course the Toadster.
I'll make a copy of the entire game dir (minus the giant arse maps) and keep it in case someone wants to poke at it.
Thank you for your ear,
Mick E Finn
[edit: I see that I have at least one mule and horse alive, so it might not be the animals. But I did see nightwings spawn in the middle of my fort, directly upon some of my dwarves, the poor buggers.
As there were only two they might be something only two have, like a particular shoe or something. I dunno.
Oh and the nightwing warnings prior to the river ice was the one three crossbowers shot to death in front of my fortress. That's why I was near the 'g' when the other two appeared inside the fortress.
It's past the late and is now very late.
I shall check posts in the morning.]
