Right from the start, I dug straight to the cave river, built a bridge, went to the chasm, bridge, then hit the magma as quickly as possible. I channeled water to the entrance of the fortress, bridged it, and hooked it up to a lever, then put a locked door in front of it. A bit after this, I recieved a message stating that my civilization vanished, and the game ended. I had not hit any adamantine, or eerie glowing pits. Anyone have any ideas why?

Dwarves were not allowed to go outdoors, the door out was locked, the drawbridge was up, it was still the first year, and the metalsmith had already gotten in.

Weird. How exactly was the message?

[Savok]

Did all your dwarves die at once?

[Istrian]

Could you try to reclaim your fortress and tell us if that bug happens again ?

[Gaulgath]

Interesting. It almost seems more like a feature... you did, after all, cut off all contact with the outside world. It isn't permanent, however, so it is rather perplexing why you lost your fort.

[Vaiolis]

It was something like "Many question what had happened. Some say it was overrun by kobolds. Others think it was just a poorly run fortress. Still others believe that somebody the something demon had taken it over. What truly happened to (insert fortress name here)? Only you will know" At first I thought it meant one of the trading people I was in contact with, but after the message went away it started doing the saving units and world and such.

Anyways, all my dwarves were fine. The lava didn't overflow, none drowned, nothing had attacked, no cave-ins occured, food was plentiful and was being eaten, wells were accesible. It just happened all of a sudden. I'll try to reclaim it and see what I find, I'll post afterward.

Weird! I can't reclaim the fortress, it really DID vanish! How strange...

[Pacho]

Its either that or its considered to have been taken over by the demon (in which case you can't reclaim it).  Can you make another fortress in the same site?  Or can you find it in adventure mode?  I don't know if it would appear in the legends, but you might want to try that if anything.

[Toady One]

That message is for the too deep endgame only, so that counter got triggered somehow.  Did you use any of the utilities that have been floating around?  Any other instances of a premature too-deeping?

[Pitchblack]

I have heard that there were cases of small adamntite veins near the chasms offshoots. Rare occasions, but i rerad it on the wiki somehwere if anyone wants to look, but that would explain the death of your fort.

[Anti-Paragon]

If the endgame trigger caused it to fall, he must've started the event somehow in the spring, because it takes two seasons for that to happen....

I think you misunderstand. At the 'end' of the fort is a giant, unpassable chasm. every now and then there are offshoots surrounded by adamantine. It's not talking about the chasm before the magma. there is never any adamantine before the glowing pits (unless there is some strange bug floating around).
