I found a tunnel leading off from the base of a dwarf fort in adventure mode- very straight, about 6 tiles wide. I thought- ooh! An underground road! ...and followed it.

It was very, very long. I ate/drank through all of my rations. I finally gave in when I was dehydrated and near death, and the road crossed a chasm (by means of 2 enourmous bridges). Not wanting my corpse to litter such a lovely pathway I threw myself in.

Has anyone else come across one of these? Do they actually lead anywhere? And, with the absence of fast travel underground, is it possible to follow one without dying?

I'm assuming it was a road, of course- not paved, but very straight and wide- always wide enough for a caravan- with ramps to go up/down levels.

A hatch on top of a staircase also flashes (unless I'm doing something wrong!). Far better to build a roof, have a little gatehouse.

Try a long corridor with a door at each end. Unlock one door and your swimmer will move towards it- then when he's almost there, lock that door and unlock the door at the otehr end. Repeat until bored.
