So, I'm playing Genesis mod, complete with flying Illithids with flesh-rotting gas syndrome... but since goblins have flying mounts in vanilla, not to mention Rocs and the odd [FLIER] titan, I figured this question would fit here rather than the Modding forum. Anyway, I was wondering if it's possible to do the following: build a tower, and build a floor over the whole map on some above-ground z-level, all the way to the map edges. Fliers spawning below would never be able to get over that... right?

Things I'm not sure about:
-do fliers always enter the map on ground level, and never in the air?
-can they leave the map, ascend offscreen, and re-enter map above that floor?

They will actually spawn on the floor tiles that touch the edges - even if they don't have flying mounts!  Any walkable edge tile is considered a valid point for invaders to spawn, even artificial floors that they should never be able to reach.

do we still have that "invaders spawn in squares" thing? so that a 4x6 fortress can have enemies spawn inside the actual fort?

if my memory serves me the "spawn in squares" means that they spawn within a 4x4 or 3x3 or whatever area. if you have a different map like 4x6 they can spawn at the edges of the central "square" and not at the actual edges of the map
