lava floods
« on: October 20, 2006, 07:37:00 pm »
Has anyone experimented with what determines whether this happens or not? Is it a matter of piercing a hex adjacent to lava?

I have a Cunning Plan (tm) but it's a lot of work and if it fails I'll have wasted a considerable amount of time.

Thanks in advance.

Far as I've seen, it's completely random, just like the river flood is - just a lot more deadly.

You can turn off all mining except for one peasant when you think you're getting near the magma.  I can't think of much else to do about it.

Well no, I want it to happen, getting out of it isn't the issue.

Some say its a matter of the skill of the miner. Ive had legendary miners cause/not cause magma floods. (shrugs)
