Oh, so it was a "cave". Okay then.
« on: January 30, 2015, 12:07:48 pm »

I recently embarked on a cave and that was quite fun, so I decided to try it again.
I created a new world, with increased number of caves and volcanoes (I like volcanoes) and found a nice embark site with a volcano, a cave and a brook.

After embarking, I looked around, and what a nice are I embarked on:

So, let's go take a look at that cave, it should be around here somewhere...Can't see it, but what is that Giant Rat doing there??

Hmm, there's quite a lot of other creatures there, let's take a look at the units screen:

So it wasn't so much a "cave" it was much more like an outside meeting area.  :D
I better get some soldiers active soon...

Did you bring actual weapons and trained warriors?

Those animals are peaceful, as long as you don't touch them.

Not the troglodytes.

Also this is odd. Outside caves ? I remember when I embarked on caves, the animals were inside.

But that was before the world activation release.

2 slightly trained warriors, no weapons. Brought ore to make weapons, but I'm not sure I'll have the time to make them.
Will probably embark again with trained and equipped warriors.

To be honest a few troglodytes shouldn't be too dangerous. Just lock your wagon inside walls.
