well this is new [spoiler]
« on: February 03, 2011, 08:12:49 pm »
So I'm running a glacier fort and I dig down looking for the magma sea. I'm at level -97 before I hit the first cavern. Ok so this is nothing new it happens on islands. what is new is what happens when I get to hell. turns out I have bypassed the magma sea entirely and dug clear down into hell through regular rock. Not only that but there are no demons, no unearthly scrams some mud on the floor and the missing magma is coming in from a corner of the map and draining into a glowing pit. i think I like this bug.

That didn't last long, huh? Shame, cause binary's cool. Anyway, an important message: I will be changing my names on every username based thing I use to ASCIt on/around 10/1. Consolidating, I guess you could say.

I've also had forts where hell could be accessed via regular rock, but there was magma sea nearby, cut out in odd blocks so that it had very square boundaries.  There were demons though, and no drainage of magma.

Well, you got yourself a very colonist-friendly hell. Do build a fortress there.

Embarked on a haunted volcano. I am currently terrorized by skeletal alligators.

Ye know, being an usurper overseer gone mad with power isn't too bad. It's honestly not that different from being a normal overseer.

Or, even more frightening, YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING EVIL ENOUGH TO DESERVE HELL.

Dwarf Fortress makes the concept of "evil" and the concept of "highly amusing" into the same amalgamated mass.

I had a map where at the way beginning magma sea seemed to collapse into hell.  I was able to open it up, but I haven't gotten my dwarfs down there yet.  No demons have appeared yet, but we'll see what happens.

You say that like decorating elf skull totems with elf bones is somehow evil. It's not only acceptable, but expected. How else is the immortality of elves balanced out, if not for the dwarves?

No! No! I will not massacre my children. Instead, I'll make them corpulent on crappy mass-produced quarry bush biscuits and questionably grown mushroom alcohol, and then send them into the military when they turn 12...
