Do dwarves have towns/fortress in adventure mode?

Might be obvious, but I don't play adventure mode much.

No.  At the moment, only humans have actual towns or cities.  Goblins, elves, and dwarves have cities marked on the large map, but if you visit them in person there's nothing there.  Toady hasn't put elven forest retreats, dwarven mountainhomes, or goblin towers back in yet.

Thanks for the info, I was playing last night and didn't know this. Spent about 2 hours trying to find the entrance to an elven retreat.

My guess would be sometime in release 2,3, or 4 based on
Quote
Release 2
Work with 3D mineral veins and mine maps
Quote
Release 3
Taverns
Manors
Quote
Release 4
Adv mode inns
Fairs
So I figure at best we have only 2-3 years before we start to see some, and at worst we have 6-10 years before they come back again. Of course with the substantial feature drift that comes with every release there is always the chance that Toady could feel a whim and throw them in at any point earlier then that as well.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!
