Should be possible as an option when you're at the embark screen. Would be just the same as usual except your dwarves and wagon would appear on the first cavern layer, maybe it should be possible to choose the second layer or even 'hell' for more challenge. O_o

Landing on HFS would be instant death.
Plus, how would you even get the wagon underground without mining?

[Mel_Vixen]

Well you could get mules instead of a wagon. The question for moving stuff around underground is thought another. How do you get dwarven civs to plan routes underground for carvans and founding of (NPC-)cities. Embarking underground is nice but aclimatic if you land in a hermetical closed cave.

[FreakyCheeseMan]

This seems perfectly plausible to me- I mean, the underground is open, you *should* be able to do a check of whether or not there's a wagon path into any particular layer, and it is rather dwarvenly (who needs the bloody surface, anyway?).

I was trying out adventure mode animalmen recently, and I found that they don't respond to the ADVENTURE_TIER tag, as their civilizations are apparently handled differently from all the others.  You can't select "such and such" from "so and so", like the standard races.

However, putting in INDIV_CONTROLLABLE allowed me to use the "play now!" option.  But this resulted in an animalman popping up in the middle of some human town, rather than the underground.

Even if underground Fort Mode embarks are frowned upon, I'd like for the ability to at least spawn adventurers in the land underneath.  Then you could have a nice little adventure in attempting to find a passage UP.

Fully underground civilizations would also be nice.  And no, I don't just mean those little lobster piles that the animalmen call "civilization".

Well, if you were Duergar-ish, you'd be coming from another underground area, using the caverns as a sort of... Deep Road, almost....

I approve of this suggestion, since it not only allows one to really play a proper duergarlike, but makes the idea of cavern-spawning invasions/ambushes by subterranean elves and goblins and whathaveyous more possible.

You'd have to embark right next to a subterranean road.
