Fish and hippos? That's interesting; the very last thing I did in Adventurer mode before reading this was jump in a river and go swimming, up and down the river at first, and then into other rivers, fighting enormous masses of fish and hippos. I also saw a few carp drown in the water.

It was quite awesome. The river was so densely populated with fish that my weapon skill was actually increasing faster than my swimming skill.

I once embarked on a haunted river. I figured I'd be safe just by avoiding it, but no; the SKELETAL CARP and zombie hippos climbed OUT OF THE WATER and stomped/chewed my dwarves entirely away in about thirty seconds. O_o

I tried a different location later, and got a more tenable starting location, seperated by cliffs from all the water; the river had both undead and regular fish and hippos, and they got into a huge battle right away. There was a while where the entirety of the MAJOR RIVER was red; the undead won, unfortunately, but I had to abandon because four waterfalls and about twenty pages of undead fish gave me a framerate of about 15. =(
