Critters who have ever killed one of your Dwarves are never trustworthy even if you tame them and they show as tame.  Maybe the same thing holds true for re-patriated captives from the goblins?

The one flaw in the method is that caged animals retain the wrong civilization.  Evidentally this gets changed when you purchase them, but changing ownership of the cage by demolishing the depot doesn't change the ownership of the animal inside the cage.

Indeed, my own is the way to go.    I am not opposed to freeloading from other people's work, though.  Why should I invent 30 kinds of fantasy plants when someone else already has?  I collected mods for a couple of weeks, then began collating.  Halfway through that, I began "correcting".  I put that in quotes because I feel I am on sound ground when I correct corn (aka maize) from a root crop to a grain crop.  I am on less sound ground when I make an executive decision about the properties of mithril.  Part of the pleasure for me is doing my own research, and if in the end I rewrite many parts, so much the better for my own entertainment.

I fully expect this project to take enough time that the new version will have been released before I am content.    I can then run gleefully off to test the new version, and if it has major unplayability I can go back to my project until the problems are fixed.  If it has no such problems, well, neither will I.  Instead, I can look forward the conversion of my work to the new version, after I've tried the vanilla. 

If all else, fails, I can do some work on my NWN PW, or even, heavensforbid, clean the house.   

But the point is, I'm not holding back from playing for fear of becoming too bored.  What a thought.   

So it's not a one-way ramp problem.

How about a forbidden stone type?  Did you forbid any types of stones?  If the trade depot is made of a forbidden stone type, it won't be usable until the stones in it are claimed.

Did they get where they are by way of a descending ramp?

Nevermind.  I figured it out.  Sorry for the resurrection.

3 if so, would this allow me to have a place in my base to continually channle water to get rid of it?

I've heard that you can mine to the edge of the map, smooth and then engrave the last tile, and then flow water out of it indefinitely. I've not tested this though, so I might be missing subtleties of it. Probably best to do it deep to lessen chances of hitting an aquifer on the other side. Note that it apparently doesn't work for lava/magma.

This works unless you have an ocean on your site.  Then water flows in through the fortification.

The diagnostic version works for me.  I copied the default.txt over from the diagnostic version to the original version, and that still does not work.
