I'm mourning the loss of our cliffs. However impractical and progress stopping they may have been, I thought they were fun to look at, and especially fun to build on. I'd almost say that I wish climbing had gotten in earlier, but I am so eager for the army arc that I will let Toady do what's needed to get there.

But still. I'll miss you, cliffs. Until we next meet...

It really is necessary for adventure mode, however.

Oh, I know. Which is why I said I wish climbing could have gotten in earlier. But once again, whatever it takes for armies.

[Akroma]

now that there aren't any high cliffs anymore, is it still impossible to embark on a mountain square without inclduing also a non-mountain biome ?

[Nite/m4re]

Whaaaat, no cliffs even in mountain tiles? So... the 2D version style mountains are... gone? Rest in peace, cliffs.  

[Torak]

It's temporary. It has to be.

[Cthulhu]

Cliffs are gone?!

This is madness.  I leave for like a week, cliffs disappear, Fenrir withdraws from society, R'lyeh rises, and there's a snork in my backyard(Not the adorable Cash-In-On-The-Success-Of-The-Smurfs snorks, the Jump-Twenty-Feet-And-Tear-Your-Arms-Off snorks from STALKER)
What has happened?!

[Gaulgath]

There are still cliffs. They are just... "smoother." Of course, who knows what this implies besides Toady. Certainly it will be best until climbing gets in.

The Zone.

If you want the cliffs back, dig them out.

Meh; just jump.

I once worked very hard to find suitable jumping places to get from z+15 down to sea level.  Then I misread the map and went swimming somewhere that was too deep for swimming lessons.

Fenrir leaving really sucks, but I, for one, welcome our new Great Old One Overlords.

I liked cliffs, but I agree entirely; they made Adventure Mode a headache and they're easy enough to remove in dwarf mode.

[Kaelem Gaen]

One has to wonder, with the disappearance of cliffs, are all our current worlds gonna end? (as in maps with an abundance of cliffs I think my Ocean fortress may tumble.)  But yeah, it will be nice to be able to walk into the mountains farther than like, two tiles in on the travel map.  We can only hope after the roads are in the next point in the Armies arc is to shove climbing in.  I really hope, just imagine, Armies that can scale walls. Hmmmm though I guess sheer walls would need ladders as a siege engine. and they'd have be able to be pushed.

But that might be a problem to code.
