Title: Abandoned fortress flooded
Post by: Soadreqm on May 25, 2008, 01:59:00 pm
I got sort of bored with a small seaside fort of mine, so I decided to abandon it and take an adventurer to have a closer look on some of those engravings. Surprisingly, when I got there, parts of the fort were completely submerged. I didn't find any holes in the walls, and it seemed that no more water was flowing in. I swam where I could, examined some intriguing works of art, grabbed a few easy-to-carry goodies and was eaten by giant scorpions later.

Anyway, what could have caused the flooding? Does it have something to do with the ocean refilling maybe? Are there any ways to avoid it in the future, other than building some kind of huge sewer system to pump water out? Is this the correct subforum for this?

Took me long enough to find it... looks like you hit this bug.

Ah, no fix then before the next version. Oh, well. I've been just waiting for an excuse to build some floodwater sewers anyway.
