Why are almost every mountain boxed in with many different boxes? I'm no noob but this is new to me in 31.18. I can't embark on them either...

Ok, as of now we are all building high skyscrapers to house our dwarfs in, mostly to test it out. Fine. But I tend to ask myself if that is really right and proper for a dwarf? Am I alone in this? Because aren't we talking about the little buggers who dig long tunnels into the innards of the earth looking for riches and shelter? The muscle midgets who are so tough that they prefer the "comfort" of mother earth herself. The children of the earth.
So what are they doing high up in the air? Playing humans? Or even worse - elves?

So my humble proposal then is to give the dwarfs some bad thoughts when climbing around in a huge vertical construction like a tower. That would make them more naturally dwarfish, and I believe also more grumpy which can't be bad for a dwarf. Another positive side effect is of course the fact that this would differentiate them in their choice of habitat from both humans and goblins, making them all more interesting for everyone.

My two pickaxes...
