Finding fortress entrance
« on: December 21, 2013, 01:36:05 pm »

A quest I have taken says I need to travel to a dwarf fortress to kill a vampire. But I can not find the entrance to the fortress. Any tips?

where does it say the thing is in the quest map if it's anywere that's not a lair camp or a human fort/town/hamlet or necro tower you won't find him because toady removed the actual sites because of how minimalistic they were in older releases.

The map says it is at a dwarf fortress. So I presume that there are no dwarf fortresses in the game besides the ones you build. Therefore I should just not do the quest.

Currently only cities/towns have real buildings. Forest retreats, dwarf fortresses and dark towers are abstract and do not actually appear on real map. It was "temporary" removed (for the whole Df2012 release) and they will return in a new glory in the next version.

Right now you have two options:
1) Ignore quests related to those places.
2) Mod races so they ALL use towns.

Does the thingymabob in the top left corner say where your task is? Sometimes, if a lair is very close to another site, it will show up as that site (Hamley, retreat, tower etc) on the quest map(Q).
You can then find it with the list of sites on the top left of the adventuring screen. Follow the direction to the site with TSK behind it. Unless he is in the mountain hall. Then you can't kill him.
