So I started my first fort for this version. Find the wagon in the perfect spot and dig down. After getting a couple of rooms for my dwarfs to work in I dug down farther and farther. Low and behold, my first cavern!

These things are huge by the way; mine goes past what was at first revealed in all directions. It is quite intimidating. Anyhow, it was soon after this checked the civilizations and found an unnamed Olm man civ. Then later noticed my fort had 191000 dwarf bucks worth of architecture. Now I'm scared to go down there XD. I somehow imagine an ancient empire just waiting for me to open the locked door so it can march out upon the world and rain destruction.

On a related note, can animal people tame animals or just main civs like human or elves? Picture a Olm men riding around on carp. Hehe

I have heard rumors of ancient ruins underground, though I haven't seen any myself. Also, I believe a while back Toady mentioned something about batmen riding giant bats...

Protip-kill it with magma.

I've had between 109,000 and 250,000 in architecture in all three of my starting forts (so far). Two of them had cave-ins instantly at startup around the -23 to -35 Z level area, one of which left a masterwork Clownium short sword in my fort inventory on floor -28. I was afraid to go get it, and got mobbed by goblins before I could see what was there.

That means a temple, ala temple of time in LoZ, is buried deep underground.  The sword seals an ancient evil.  Or so the legends say.

Whats all this talk about clown related things. Is it code for the new hfs minerals/enemies?

[Sensei]

Don't be silly. LITERAL clowns, you know, the kind that child have very divided feelings about. They're all packed in a tiny clown car, deep underground.

What are you talking about?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ruins do exist. Check your (R)ooms list, you might find an 'Upright Adamantium sword/scimitar/long stabby slashy weapon'. Dig towards it, you should hit a smooth slade wall. From there, it's only a matter of digging around until you find the side of the ruins. Beware, if you remove that sword, it'll open up hell, too...

I picked a Haunted starting area.  Starting out, I have 560k+ architechture worth, an unamed Olm-man civilization, an unnamed Serpent-man civ, and an Adamantine Scimitar about 100 z-levels down.  Bring on the fun!
