I was playing around with Perfect World yesterday to get a nice volcano embark site.

Upon embarking i immediately got a message about cavern collapsing (the Volcano base collapsing into the Magmasea, draining the Volcano in the process) and the message about the horrifying screams etc ... because i had cotton candy on the SURFACE with the tube being open ...

That embark gave me a whooping 1 FPS and after about 10 minutes i got bored because everything was so slow. The woodcutter didnīt reach the trees i designated for cutting right at the start during those 10 minutes

Needless to say the cavern collapsing messages kept on coming. Fun stuff !

Ah, yes, there's one thing you might want to be aware of if you try to play with this embark:

Sig'd. Also: One of the best embarks ever.

There are dozens of demons...and you are worried about capybaras?
If they were badgers, I could understand. They interrupt a lot of jobs.

I think he's being sarcastic.

[Lagslayer]

Meh, half of them are steam demons. The other half don't look like they have special attacks. Your miner and pikeman might stand a decent chance of winning. And I mean decent in a relative manner.

[Theifofdreams]

But against three whole capybaras there will be no survivors.

I've been dealing with a lot of the damn things. Giant ones too.

[ZergSpartan]

yes. YES. YES!
this embark let me live a dream. I made my main entry hallway wind through the slade. I made a large combat area where I meet attackers with my forces, in the slade. Now whenever invaders show up I shout this at the top of my lungs:

Invaders: Our arrows will blot out the sun!
Me: Then we will fight in the SLADE.

It's definitely a proper place to build a goblin fortress.

actually it looks like there's no path to the surface, or they are just not interested in you.  You can play it safely provided you can cope with huge magma-draining thing lag. Demons are all meh except deadly dust pterosaurs, and i suppose they' inflict more damage to themselves than to you if they attack en masse.
ah looks like they changed their mind and attacked, they killed everyone. Looks like their natural fighting skill more than match my humble pike and mining, dust is pretty deadly, but you can offset its effects by fighting on the mountain slope. This didn't save me though

Keep embarking! Make everyone a marksdwarf and draft them! THE SURFACE HELL WILL BE CLAIMED!!!!!!!!!!

And when you do, I'd like you to post the save.


Unrelated to above:

I've heard my jokes called a lot of things, but never sarcasm.

Reminds me of something...

Oh, so they're infinite? Then here's what you do. You take a healthy swig of plump helmet wine, pull on your cat leather cap, grab your wooden training axe and go kill demons until their population reaches an acceptable number.

Or something like that.

That's my queue to "Run Runaway"
