Actually, "A cave too deep" would be more fitting.  

Picture:

It's not game breaking, as this is the only instance I found, but still somewhat frustrating - I can go there, and my companions can't!!!

In case you're wondering, the seed is 486581926, although the cave will probably not be there, because I've got extensive modding going on. The location is on the leftmost edge of the map, on the end of the little 3-long "finger" of mountain tiles, second range from below. The fact that the seed is zero-reject should not be altered by that modding though, as it only concerns civs.

i think the modding is what has caused this

[Sean Mirrsen]

I doubt modding in a few new creatures and weapons, some new melee attacks for creatures, and duplicating elves and dwarves onto the plains can cause THIS. I'll go ahead and try this seed in an unmodded copy, just to see if the layout's the same.

You'd be surprised what effects world-gen in terms of mods.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Restored the game to original (plus the tileset), regenerated from the seed. Same thing, a two-levels-deep entry to the cave. The seed remains zero-reject.

I think Toady should go the easy way, and just add a cone-shaped multilevel entrance to the cave template, so that such artifacts don't break the game in the future.

...or add the ability to dig.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Digging is beside the point here. AI must do a lot more to be able to understand that it needs to dig to get somewhere. If the player won't interfere, and the creatures in the cave will need to feed, then the whole cave will just starve to death because nobody will ever get out, except swallowmen.
