Quests leading to empty sites with no target what so ever
« on: August 16, 2014, 03:31:44 pm »
Hello This is my first post on the forum and I wanted to ask about a problem I've been having in adventure mode (I'm playing the latest Masterwork downloaded it 3 days ago)
and I noticed that there are 3 types of quests
1) find someone in a lair and kill him/her/it
2) find someone in a town and kill him/her/it
3) find someone in a site and kill him/her/it

The first two I have no problems with I wonder around the map following directions on the compass until I find the location. But I'm having issue with the third one. Whenever I get such a quest and go to the place I find it empty. no cave entrances no lairs no nothing. area pointed by the compass is a square somewhere in the world with nothing on it. No creatures no birds just grass and trees. I'm assuming I am missing something maybe the target is above or below me? same thing with some other sites. For example I have a Forest Retreat site on my quest map I follow Compass to it and same thing I read on the wiki that there are supposed to be an elven settlement there there is nothing there. I'm sure this is just a stupid problem of a noob but I didn't found any literature on this subject except for this post http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=115848.0 but I didn't want to dig out old post.

Yeah, I've found that the bandits don't really show up in forest retreats.

Although since you're using Masterwork, you should ask over in the Masterwork subform.

Sorry about that. My first instinct was that this is a core game issue hence I put it in the same sub-forum as the topic I found.

Masterwork still uses version 0.34.11 of Dwarf Fortress, where sites such as mountain halls, forest retreats, and dark fortresses don't physically exist.

The entire area is just empty land instead, and any inhabitants that are supposed to live within the site are inaccessible. But you can still retire there, if you are on friendly terms with the civilization.
