b-C-F will construct a fortification without a floor on its z+1. 

Instead, b-C-w construct a wall which will have a floor on its z+1 (act as a ceiling), then d-A to designate and carve a fortification on the constructed wall. 

For easier access to make a ceiling, deconstruct one of the fortification, construct an Up Ramp so you have access to the roof, then build floors up there. 

After the ceiling is completed, deconstruct the up ramp and replace with wall then carve fortification.

Now you have a sealed bunker.

You can.. carve out fortifications in constructed walls..?
I... I feel so empty. I just went through a lot of trouble roofing fortifications...

I'm going to go lie in bed for a few hours and cry.
But now I know! Thanks.

Almost every single one of my dwarf civs is questionably named.
The dwarves are apparently into some pretty rough stuff.



I later started up an adventurer and realized I hailed from a fort named "Largebusts", so I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

On my human wrestler adventurer, I spent a solid 4 hours yesterday trying to find a vampire with a kill count around 2000.
Of course, I only want to end that streak for my own virtual glory (and to become a vampire myself).
The vampire in question, however, is making this incredibly difficult to do, as they seemingly don't actually exist.

NPCs I talk to don't ever mention vampires to me, no matter how much I ask about the surrounding area or troubles.
This doesn't seem to stop them from being perfectly fine mentioning the veritable plague (at least 10) vampires assailing the town to other NPCs, though.
Sadly this results in me knowing about them without my character being able to ask about their whereabouts.

Except one, which is the one I am hunting. After a long while I managed to squeeze information out of the people that she is in a nearby hamlet.
Going there, I searched every house for the vampire and was unsuccessful (including the large structure with the local ruler).
Asking the townspeople about the offending individual resulted in them telling me that the vampire is their neighbor, but when I ask them where she is they direct me to an elf supposedly also living in the hamlet.
The elf isn't in the hamlet, either. Most of the townsfolk say they don't even know the elf when I ask, but he's still given as a director.

Checking the Legends after a save duplication tells me both the elf and the vampire currently live there, but I can't find them after several days of waiting around in the hamlet.
Do these individuals even exist outside of the Legends world interactions? Are they like dark fortresses in that they act as an entity for worldgen but have no actual entity or construction?

tl;dr
Legends says a vampire and an elf guide are in a hamlet, but despite several in-game days of searching neither of them seem to exist. Do they actually exist or are they just worldgen?


P.S. I generated the world with no bogeymen in advanced generation, and the only other statistic I altered was volcanism. I have no problem with bogeymen but I got a little tired of my 2 or 3 comrades dying, meaning I was doomed by default that coming night. Lost too many good adventurers that way. Could this have caused an issue?
