Has anyone else noticed when you walk to the end of the map in adventure mode, you don't seem to be able to go past to the next region?

[Gedsaro]

What you mean is that the world does not wrap around, and that Columbus was actually wrong and the world is flat? Of course that world isn't ours.   :p

But then how do I secure a faster water route to China?

[karnot]

On a sidenote, will there be a region change implemented in new game options ? The world map is huge, but you're given just some small corner with only a handful starting places for the fortress.

Just build a second set of farms and so forth there.  It isn't worth sending your hauling dwarves so far.

I think north and south are not connected, but east and west should be.

We were leaving open whether this is a world or part of a larger world...  right now you can't travel elsewhere, mainly due to technical hassles of embedding a creature and equipment into a world that could have different object files.  Things like this will probably start with notions like planar travel, actually, which is a long way off itself.

I don't think you guys are reading what I wrote right:

In adventure mode, the world is very big. But I can't move outside of the region I started in. Will I ever be able to do this?

I think that's what Toady was talking about above...  he was using the word 'world' to refer to a 'region'.  Basically, regions are currently laws unto themselves, and the differences between them make transfers a slightly tricky feature.
