Does cavern sea water refill if it touches a map border?

Yes, and it will also drain out.

[ottottott]

Yes any liquid touching the edge of the map always comes in and goes out from the... ... container...
Got ninja'd :b

on the video tutorials by Capt. Duck, the game announced when dwarves levelled up skills in the announcements. How can i get that to work?

Question 1: Will a dragon's breath pass through/over a Fortification?

Question 2: Will a dragon's breath damage creatures or buildings on a z-level below or above the dragon?

Question 3: Will a Building Destroyer type 2 automatically damage buildings on a z-level below or above the creature?

Question 4: The wiki says about Grass:

As dwarves and other creatures walk over it, they have a chance (determined by the value of the [GRASSTRAMPLE] token) of eroding it down to the base soil, on which trees and plants cannot grow.

Does this mean that after grass has eroded down to base soil it is impossible to plant crops on it or for it to spontaneously grow a tree? If so, is there a way to fix it? (Such as building something on it and then deconstructing it?)

Question 5: Will Magma Mist injure at least some types of Titan or Forgotten Beast (assuming they are close enough to get exposed)?

[FuzzyZergling]

1. Yes.

2. Only if the breath is aimed up or downwards.

3. They cannot attack buildings on a different z-level; this is why floor hatches are impenetrable from below.

4. The trampled ground will not grow trees or shrubs, but farms can still be built. I do not know if grass can reappear.

5. That is very likely.

That was in 40d and earlier. It doesn't do that anymore.

Grass can reappear.

Can you grow crops on muddy ice?

Also, if you embark in a ocean or lake biome which freezes in winter, turn temp off, build a fortress in the lake, smooth the ice around your fort, and turn temp back on, will the smoothed ice melt? Or would I have to have made constructed walls for the iceberg fort to work when temp goes back on?

I'm pretty sure that muddy ice will grow crops.
I'm also pretty sure that the natural ice walls will still melt, even if smoothed.

I could be wrong on both counts, though.

[Double A]

So I guess I'd have to mine out the ice and then build with it. Gah.

For the beard-tingling fear of Armok WHY do my dorfling archers NOT attack the sniggering goblins not ten tiles away?

"Cannot follow orders?"  What?  A least some of them have quivers, and there is a stockpile BETWEEN THEM AND THE ENEMY.  I even pretended to understand the opaque military menu and gave them combat access to every bolt ever created in the entire past, present, and future of all possible universes!

Good grief, I remember when the military was "primitive" and "imprecise" enough to actually use...

Help!  I have, not one, but TWO hordes of darkness.  On top of each other.  I think they're breeding.

I am not sure why range is a problem, but I have received that same message regarding my hunters, even when there is plenty of ammunition just lying around. Following it, they usually go acquire more (eventually).

This is the part where I raise my drawbridge for three years.

Heheh, done.  The elvish traders have already gone mad...der.  I killed 'em.  So now the elves will attack me and get slaughtered by the goblins.

Oh well.  Silver linings.

The archers got tired and hungry and thirsty so I let 'em go.  Right now I'm just trying to build a Chaos Room 'o Death to keep my new playmates occupied, but it's taking forever.

Who was the bastard idiot  who decided that civillian dwarfs should path to hostiles and attack at will, and more importantly, how do I stop them without sending in the military? We've encountered a HUGE tribe of amphibian men, who fortunately aren't pathing to us, and I am just trying to wall of a little, tiny bit of muddied soil... but my diagnoser has gone commando.

EDIT: Never mind, I see the problem. Strange though, that they want to gather Forbidden food...
