Waves!
« on: June 03, 2008, 04:47:00 pm »
I've just started an ocean fortress and I'm surprised about the waves' supernatural abilities.

They can go through constructed walls, they count as 1/7 when they finish, and the mist they create don't make the dwarves happy.

Basically they're cheating, flooding, unhappy bastards.

Also, do they impact on the FPS in any meaningful way? It's not moving water, and it's just an effect, but I have noticed that they accommodate their crashing according to the current coastline. Had a wave go right down my moat several times.

According to Toady's log, it looks like waves will be fixed in the next version.
