Map Expanded again!! The plot thickens!

[n9103]

... What, are we digging into some sort of huge chamber in the mountain?

Also, I think it might be a good policy to limit all expansions to up to 1 additional tile on all edges (like Devath did.) You could just add 1 tile to the north and south, or just to the east, but only 1 tile/side/full turn
It helps it stay managable (look at DTS1 for a look at how quickly it gets foolishly large), but still expands quickly enough that there's no real reason to worry about running out of room if someone expands every dozen or more turns.

[n9103]

Between the invalid tiles, and the IMO, overdone amount of expansion, I'm going to take my turn on Devath's map.

What invalid tiles? Also, map expanded again. Less this time. I don't feel especially obligated to follow your one tile rule, n9.

As an observer (read: oh god forum formatting ack), I will chime in and state that expanding the map 3 tiles is a sound proposition.

[Duke 2.0]

 Indeed.

 Although the empty space is a bit... odd.

[n9103]

I suppose a formalized expansion rule would be three tiles in any direction then?

Empty tiles inside a mountain that hasn't been exposed = invalid tiles... didn't think there was anything confusing about it. (hopes the pointers help explain the problem)

I'll update the rules.

EDIT: The "Expanding the Map" rules have been updated.

How do we know what dwarf has what items?

[Duke 2.0]

 Times like these I wish I had a shrug emote.

 Also: Damnit woodcutter, remove some of the trees from the entrance! How are we going to make temporary workshops now?

[Fenrir]

How do we know what dwarf has what items?

All right, it's obvious that this game needs more rules. I'll develop some more detailed rules when DTS3 comes around; for now, just assume a dwarf has the tools necessary for his profession and nothing more.

How do know the profession certain dwarfs are?

Color of course!
