Ok, more of a question I guess.  Anyone had fun/Fun experiences with caves?  My most recent fort has a cave, which has a tunnel down to the first cavern.  My first death was a troglodyte ambush, which made me "wtf" all over my keyboard.  Later, I'll be making a tower atop this mound of dirt, and making either a burial chamber or a barracks, probably a barracks/emergency fort.

What about you?

Caves that lead down to the caverns seem to be very rare now. How did you find it?

[SirAaronIII]

Caves aren't really hard to find if you push up the number and make them visible.

I missed the 1st layer and hit the 2nd one instead. Thinking that it was really the (almost) harmless 1st layer, I just sent some guys down there. Needless to say, they died and their attackers, a cave croc and voracious cave crawler, charged up to the surface and shanked everyone.

I just made 50 caves on a pocket world, and made them visible.  The first one I tried happened to have a tunnel down.  Blind luck, really.

What about lairs?  Anyone discovered a reliable way to find lairs?

Start an adventurer, spam-talk to locals about the surroundings.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Focus on something other than finding lairs. Like Science. _{Four hydras...}

Alternatively, start up an adventurer in the world before embarking and find them that way.

I'm no good with adventurers...  Once I learned of a lair, how would I know to embark there?
