Embark on a Cave[possible spoiler about caves]
« on: November 27, 2008, 03:16:34 pm »

Hy all i just experienced with embarking on caves so some facts:
  • Caves are at least 3*3
  • if you embark on one you will take it all, no way of partial embark, (no 2*2, 1*1 nano fortress, not even with embark anywhere)
  • if you embark on a kobold cave, they will be friendly whit you however monsters in cave behaive normaly.
are at least these were the facts i could constat. Is there anyone who knows a way of overcoming this? i mean who to make a nano fortress on a cave, had any of you alredy found a solution?

For the record, you can tweak worldgen settings to get caves that appear as up to 6x6 on the embark map.

hold up, it will expand your fort to fit the cave?

It's a cave, dig through the cave walls!

yes you will have the hole 3*3 region in your embark screen even if you selected smaller,
and the thing is not to carve or not, but to embark with a smaller fort (3*3 is quite big for my old PC even more with all cave-citters rooming around)
