Immigrants and Caravans coming underground..
« on: May 01, 2012, 10:53:36 am »

So how does this work really? Apparently, I can't dig through the last tile at the edge of the map so the only option is the caverns  right? Can also forgotten beast appear from the road underground?

Immigrants and caravans shouldn't appear underground.  Caravans may leave through the caverns, but they should only arrive on open surface edge tiles.  Immigrants should only appear on surface tiles too.  Forgotten beasts on the other hand should only appear on underground edge tiles.

You can block off the edge of the map on the surface with raised drawbridges if you want to seal off the map entirely, or to limit visitors to your fortress to arrive only at a predesignated space on the edge of the map. This can be extremely useful to funnel invaders through your meatgrinder(s).

Migrants and invaders'll only arrive from the surface though. Also you can just wall off the edge of caverns if you really need to ~o.o~
