I`m unable to find cave entrances in the adventure mode. Yes, i get quests and thus locations of caves but as soon as i`m there i just don`t find the cave entrances..^^

One of my paths to a cave entrance was a single diagonal tile, with no other possible routes. Use "l" to look around the likely spot and you might see a narrow gash in the earth, try and get to it if you can, that is probably the entrance. Caves look a bit different in this version.

Do not all caves lead underground? I haven't found one yet that didn't take me there. >.>

I had a cave which was 10 tiles in size and didn't lead anywhere.

Also I trained a guy for 3 hours to get him down there, and suddenly he's incased in ice in an ocean... awwww....

At least we now have better stories to tell? >_>

Also, I know it's not about Underground exploration, but I was sent to kill a demon in a goblin fortress, and now Goblin Fortresses are surrounded by houses and shops, is this normal now? It's happened with every one I've visited.

@Toonyman: That picture is pure win. =D

I have a feeling that the goblin civilization(s) in your world were conquered by humans or something. I know mine haven't had shops and the like. On the topic of underground exploration, I've made a very skilled swordsman, he's in all exceptional gear (all the heaviest possible, along with double layers where applicable) and he's got about 50 units of food and 10 waterskins. I'm ready to kick some ass... here's hoping I find my way to the bottom layer.

EDIT: Oh, and call me a wimp, but I've backed up my save. I refuse to lose this effort to a ****ing mangled toe sending me into fits of agony or something like that.

Then everything near it exploded in a cloud of blood.

I see. Well, none the less, it's cool to have a bunch of towers surrounded by buildings.

I probably should've backed up my save, that way, I wouldn't have died from infection at the bottom of the world.

I backed up my save because I've grown attached to my slapping swordsmen.

For some reason, underground exploration is really enhanced by this song, Behold the Darkness. It really sets the mood while I'm underground and makes my imagination race. >.>

I know, I'm weird.

If you're weird for thinking that song is perfect for exploring underground, so am I... that song is perfect. Thanks! Just found a fairly large magma pool. I'm think I'm on level 2 right now...

Awesome sauce. =D

I just figured I'd share it, since it really set the mood for me. Glad you like it Mythos. =D

I wanna try to draw art now. >.>

My latest adventurer died from being surrounded by ten-fifteen Troglodytes who all proceeded to strangle his throat til he died. =/

Ouch... I'm hoping this guy will actually manage to make it to the bottom. He's sure as hell equipped enough for it...

Yeah, good luck to you. I'm not really sure what to do next. I've been playing humans mostly. Maybe I should switch to a Dwarvf and build some Iron or steel armor in Fortress mode for him and lock it in a room for him to collect. >__>

If you're doing that, go with steel. Apparently normal iron is worse than bronze now (which is actually real life accurate).
