I mean, in what OTHER game would you ever get a volcano located in the center of a GLACIER?

Ah, my dwarven heart beats with fierce pride for this.  I can't take it anymore!  I have to go do something profound.

Yeah, its not exactly a fantasy cliche. IRL theres as great a chance for a volcano to be surrounded by a glacier as anywhere else, of course.

Yes, but that's the real-life..
..And in real-life, no game compares..Well, except in graphics. And lighting. And that annoying disability to mute real-life.

Agreed.
And not being able to respawn sucks, too.
I've tried it a few times.

Yeah, but for some reason, people don't seem to treat magma as the answer to everything in real life..
Imagine if they did, though. "So, our debt is through the roof! What do we do?!" "That's obvious. *Pulls lever* MAGMA!" *Floods world with magma.*

Yeah.
And I never see elves or Dwarves.
What, did the Humans steal all of their goods at the trade depot, then kill them off?

Look at Iceland.

Iceland has glaciers flowing down semi-active volcanoes into continental rifts. It's pretty awesome.

No, we're simply in the Age of Fairytales. Everything but humanity is a myth, a legend we tell others.

What's wrong with using magma? That's almost always the easiest method.
I have issues channeling it properly to do that method. I end up flooding the fortress with magma.
Check out my RtD!
