[39f] [OCEAN] human city on the coast spawns over ocean. Hilarity ensues.
« on: August 12, 2008, 03:09:09 pm »
As an adventurer I visited a human settlement on the coast with startbiome:OCEAN and received "a section of the cavern has collapsed!" message followed by a number of death messages.

I didn't think much of it until two towns later I spawned in a tavern and instantly died, followed by another cavern collapsing message and this time about half the town had fallen into the sea and died.

Pressing space showed an overview of the sea which the tavern had collapsed too with mist and dust flying everywhere.

You are that feather that broke the town's support's back.

One of the toads decided to go for a swim in the moat - presumably because he could path through the moat to my dwarves. He is not charging in, just loitering in the moat.

The toad is having a nice relaxing swim.
The goblin mounted on his back, however, is drowning.

Did you expect them to build a boardwalk or something?

*hides his Pick and Saw*

yea lets blame Carbon emissions and gobal warming on this one, however this is very funny that human towns are getting dragged into the sea  : ;) while dwarves just build a few pumps and glass and end up sitting in glass fortresses under the sea (no singing plz)... ever wonder what would happen if toady made it so hammerers could break glass and you had one of these fortresses... ;D
*moves on to next town*

I wonder if that's what was behind that one human civ in dwarf mode that only had fish, shark, and whale products...

Uhh, if you've ever been to an [OCEAN] tagged civ you'd realize Toady has checks to have their buildings on the coast, not in the sea. So yes, after he gets around to it I'd expect human towns not to randomly drop into the ocean. I'm just letting him know.
