Mega Caverns
« on: February 05, 2011, 03:00:46 am »
Just got a cavern that was 90z levels deep, what would be the best use for it? It is cavern 2 so maybe there is still a third down there somewhere or more probably cavern 2 and 3 merged to make mega cavern? A execution pit 90z deep would be funny. The goblins would have time to piss their loincloths before they get smacked to the bottom. :P
Anyone else got these huge caverns?

Hanging fort.  Your settlement should be a series of stalactites hanging from the ceiling, with thin bridges strung between them.

Also, want to share seed if custom?

Not custom, just genned a smaller world and playing a 2x2 in a constant ice biome. Can share save if you want.

Aaand by the looks of it the dwarven civilization exists but is not sending migrants or merchants :(

That happens in glaciers.  They tend to be slow, and you'll likely not face enemy civs for quite a while either.  You're not very tourist friendly after all.

Please do share your save and either note the embark, or don't abandon at all.  I don't mind retrofitting a fort.

Ok. Elves appearently can find there way here so maybe the dwarfs are just being tardy. Where should i upload the save rapidshare/megaupload?

If you do make the fortress hanging, connected by bridges, just hope for no one to go berserk and smack some social dwarf right down into the cavern below... especially considering how large that cavern is.
Indeed. Hopefully no one goes berserk because the mountain home cant reach here and cant get any new dwarfs. I think i will play this save until enough dwarfs die in "accidents" and gen a new world because this world only had flux on the glaciers.
