I know you can set them to show in init.

Well damn. Guess i have to go back to generating longer worlds again.

You start seeing tunnels between different sites of the same civ at around the 100 year mark, genning to 300 - 400 years will get you a fair number of tunnels running around the mountains, genning to 1000+ years, and if you're lucky and get a huge goblin\dwarf civ, will result in tunnels everywhere.

and then that civ and the other trading captured sites, making it even bigger.

Tunnels take a long ass time to traverse as an adventurer (non-fast travel obviously) I have traveled a few from fort to fort/city.

I almost ran out of food and water going through one. I had to kill animals for food and grab water from a river running by it.

I've never had any trouble getting across the tops of mountain ranges... are tunnels harder for some reason?

[Arcanalor]

I have run out of food and water going through a tunnel. It was not pretty. Endless screen after endless screen of the same (obsidian) rock type. Occasionally there were colorful bits to break up the monotony, but it was hell.

Luckily, I made it out after a while and was promptly mauled by a lion.

[Shadow Golem]

It says something about dwarf fortress that you can without qualification say it was lucky to be mauled by a lion  .

If anyone wants a large 10000 year map ask me.
I generated one today after reading this thread.

They're just really really long, mostly because they tend to take rediculous detours around Chasm and whatnot; i had one tunnel that did a full circuit around a 'submap' (or whatever it's called) just to get around a chasm which cut through the middle, a chasm which could have been completely avoided by just going 1 square north and entering a different submap.

[Argonnek]

I've adventured through a tunnel before (after emptying a goblin fortress) and it went right over a chasm, discovery message included, with constructed floors and walls.

[Heliman]

Is there a way to edit the endyear maximum?

EDIT: decided to just gen an old world anyway, Only difference is thta I'm not culling on unimportant historical figures, whatever that means.

I expect good things.

Why must you lie. Killing animals generates a corpse and nothing else. Lies make baby jesus cry

That's funny, when I kill something, it engmsplodes into like 40 different pieces.

He was obviously playing an elf, and by "animal" he means "random goblin that should have been encased in obsidian".

[Leafsnail]

I thought desperation made you able to eat animals.  My count and tax collector fruitlessly searched for small animals inside their room (the corridor outside had mysteriously filled with 7/7 water) when they started to starve.  By that point, the mountainhome liason (who had just conducted a meeting) had gone melancholy.
