So now we have migrats and stuff coming through underground roads, right? I was wondering, is it possible to generate completely frozen world, that will quickly freeze anyone on surface to death and actually play normal fortress on it? How do you find underground roads in first place?

Do migrants actually come in from underground tunnels?  I haven't seen that ever...

Making a completely frozen world would be easy (set max temperature to 0 during world gen), making it playable would take some effort.  Though if you modded everyone so they could settle on glaciers or tundra it might work.

At max temp 0 you still don't get tundra and glaciers everywhere. The summer makes places hotter the further you get from the cold edge of the map. Like -50 or something makes half a medium map into permafrost biomes.

If you made the temperature low enough to kill everything you could start with temp off in init and then once everyone was inside with burrows keeping them there you could exit the game and turn it back on to cause massive damage to probably all fleshy creatures.

I don't like the cold, so how about making it so hot everything above ground boils away? 

[bumblepuppy]

I have played a fort like this. I had to start out with no food or drink and had to breach the caverns ASAP to prevent my dwarves from dying.

But do migrants actually come in through underground roads?

[Andir]

Or do they come in above ground and instantly freeze to death... :p

Better yet: Try to make the world of Dark Sun. Including the canibalistic halflings.
