Quantum Embark
« on: February 05, 2013, 04:53:00 pm »

So I embarked to a mountainous area.



There was an explosion of pig and dorf immediately afterward as everyone struggled for breathing space.

"Er, Dumat...yer arm be clippin' through me head."

"S'ry, Mestthos. It just turned out this way. 'Can't r'member how, though..."

"Don't worry 'bout it."

So to recap, one minute everything was going just great, and the next we have caverns collapsing, firebreathing cave beasts, underground brush fires, a screaming swarm of poltergheists back for revenge, zombies in the corridors, drunken brawls in the dining halls, magma pouring into the caverns, rotting miasma everywhere, insanity, madness, and a flying crocodile heading right towards us!

My shortest fort took place on a lake, where I was trying to embark as far out onto a peninsula as possible. The wagon apparently exploded or just didn't generate, since there was only a sliver of land available, and as a result all the dwarves and the 50 goats I brought were concentrated onto two tiles. Everybody dodged into the lake and drowned when all the goats instatantrumed, and I think one dwarf got brained as well.

I can imagine it would look something like my current avatar, except with people and animals, instead of logs.

Yep, I had this exact same thing happen, except it was meant to be a mostly flat area. The ONE PLACE my wagon decided to spawn, was a 1x1 raised hill and thus, quantum embark.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

Happily, the area is an interesting one, even with a long straight-edged cliff reminiscent of the 2D version (only running East-West instead of North-South.)
