Dwarves buying the proverbial mine?
« on: November 02, 2007, 01:16:00 am »

I don't know what's up, but every time I try to start a new fortress, my dwarves freeze to death instantly.

Bug... Or feature?

Depends on your climate.

This has been happening to me, too.

Generally, all my dwarves do not die from cold, but usually at least 1 does and sometimes up to half of them do.  All of my forts have starting areas comprising nothing but Temperate zones.

In the last attempt, none of my dwarves were DOA.  However, about half of the first wave of immigrants immediately kicked the bucket.

I'm attempting to reinstall the game and see if that changes anything.

Okay, I've reinstalled the game in a new, clean folder, and my dwarves did not freeze to death upon starting.

I'll let you know whether or not my first wave of immigrants make it in safely, as well.  :)
