won't let me embark on mountain biomes
« on: December 05, 2007, 11:21:00 am »
version 33d

the embark option is shown in dark grey when i try to embark in a local that isn't conected to at least 1 non-mountain biome

I hope this can be fixed in the next version, because a lot of very interesting locals get lost this way

I think it has something to do with not being able to find a large enough clear, flat area to start you in. Don't know for sure though.

in that caes, isn't kind of pointless, creating a huge mountain world full of elaborate places you can't play on ?

jesus
the elevation mark is only between 3 and 4, it can't possibly be THAT hard to find a start area

I believe you can only start on the borders of mountains, and not anywhere where you're fully enclosed by mountain tiles. I don't really mind, myself. All the interesting things are on the borders anyway.

This isn't a bug, it has to do with the fact that there's no way for a wagon to get into the mountains.
