no, no, garnierite is green normally.

I'm just pointing it out cause it's a really rare stone, and I have no idea where they got enough of it to build a three-story temple.

With temples and keeps the game seems to pick an appropriate stone and just build the entire temple\keep out of it. Sometimes it freaks out and chooses something like Platinum. I once saw an entire human keep made out of Platinum.

Yeah, I came across an entire gobbo temple built out of gold once.

It looked like bauxite after I was through with the goblins, but still.

I'm guessing the game selects a stone tile underneath the location where it wants to build the temple and creates the temple from that. Most of the time it's something useless like Shale or whatever dominant stone in the area. But sometimes the tile underneath the location is a vein of ore...

That particular town must have been pretty damn rich, not tomention the massive fortress wealth boost that you'd get if you embarked there.

I collapsed the keep and had more platinum than i would ever know what to do with. That was an amusing fort.

You know the menus that you scroll through with the + and - keys? And how it seems like you have to keep pressing + or - over and over to get anywhere? Well my friends, I have a solution: the * and / keys on the keypad skips pages like Pgup and Pgdn do. I noticed this only a minute ago.

The two are actually interchangeable. I set the secondary fast scrolling or something to ctrl+9 and 3, but I pressed the respective pgup and pgdn keys to set the keybinding. In fact, if you look at the keypad, those two numbers are labelled pgup and pgdn.
