So, I was playing a normal fort, and nearly immediately after breaching the first cavern layer, I notice a troll at the top of my staircase. He wasn't hostile or attacking anybody, he was just standing there. I walled off the cavern layer instantly of course, and later, when I checked any of my dwarve's thoughts, they were spammed with "They feel vengeful after joining an existing conflict" or something, and this was on EVERY dwarf in the fortress. No battles were going on at all, and the troll was still just standing there. Then a few minutes later, another troll appeared inside the bedrooms, but he was also not doing anything. A while later, I notice a C in the top left, I check the reports, and there are literally about 60 dwarves next to one of the Trolls beating them up. It was a fucking battlefield in the dining room.

Yet, the trolls didn't start (or I didn't see any combat reports) fighting until quite a while after they appeared, and quite a long while after my dwarve's thoughts had been spammed with vengefulness. Does anybody know what's going on?

I've recently been deleting the RAWs which allow Aquifers to be generated upon world generation, but I realized other people have many ways of dealing with them.

I found this interesting, and thought I might give it a shot, so I'm just asking for some tips on how to get past Aquifers.

I know of the pump trick, but I've heard that's extremely difficult to pull off.

So after spending a lot of time not playing DF while waiting for the new update, I may have forgotten some things.

For example, Aquifers, the terror that haunted me in EVERY version of DF and still prevents me from playing completely.

FUU and I thought Aquifers were removed

So, as the title says, this is a thread to talk about all the horribly generated and broken Adventure Maps you've played on!

Don't hesitate to talk about any horrific embarks too!

I'll start.

The second time I played Adventure Mode was on a horrible laptop, which could hardly handle the generation process of the world. So, I start my adventure, with an unusual loading time. So eventually I'm doing quests and exploring, until I got attacked by a lion. I killed it and kept walking north, until the map REALLY started to go apeshit on me. To my surprise I see a massive flood of lava coming towards me and I started running like crazy, around the lava "circle". As I walked around it, the ground started becoming lined with strips of Underground Cavern soil, and shrooms, and I WTF'ed. About 5 minutes later, I started seeing huge holes in the ground with lava flowing down it and parts of underground caverns just hanging everywhere. I honestly thought the world was collapsing at that point. Anyway, as I continued exploring around the poop generation, I noticed the map got dark and underground cavern-style the more I went north. So I did that, and eventually I saw no lava, only huge holes with strips of underground cavern soil making thin bridges above them. I was navigating through the place until I saw the holy artifact, Adamantine. Of course, I got the message "Adamantine! Praise the miners!" in a big box at the top of the screen when I saw the adamantine, and I LOL'd. Of course, eventually I got killed by a forgotten beast somehow.

So, post your broken adventure maps that you've played on here!

This may be a silly thing to make a thread about, and I may indeed be totally oblivious to the situation, but I've been wondering for a while now, what's with the lack of Dwarf Fortress updates? Everyone seems to be working amazingly hard, so my guess is that a FUCKTON of new features are going to be added in the next update from 0.31.25.

Am I right in thinking that everyone is working on a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE update?
