Feeling the need to help my fort defenses, I made a magma-drop shaft right on top of my trade depot. And as soon as it was finished, and the magma loaded, I thought "why not test it on these traders?"

Well, the good thing is that the trap was a complete success. Everything near the depot, and everyone, was instantly splashed with magma and set on fire. Sure, all the cloth and such burned, but I got a lot of metal goods so it was all good.

The bad(debatable) thing is, the splashing magma made it so that the tunnel walls that lead to the depot, and inside of my fort, are now hot. Very hot.

The next merchants who showed up all had various goods suddenly burst into fire, boil away, and from the looks of it, none of the merchants or pack animals survived.

At least I got a lot of free goods out of it. Although I need to figure out what to do to ensure that I can actually get some trade goods out of the fort, and that requires at least the dwarf merchants to survive.

I'm thinking vertical bars, and grates behind them for the magma to splash down to the magma-reservoir that surrounds my towers.

If that fails as well, oh well. I'll just splash more magma.

You should have picked Soap Maker, man.

And so it was, that my dwarf's last words were "Forgive them Father, they do not know what they are doing!"

Obviously I talked about the fire imps.
Also, I laughed at the point where Dermonster died.

Just saying about your first embark site, I'm pretty sure civ's have access to tiles that are at least diagonally connected to the mainland. So a site in that location would be accessible to all civ's.

That is, IF I'm right.
But I'm pretty sure. But I could be wrong.

If I was wrong, I'll be the Carpenter. Call me Jesus.

EDIT: Of course, the above only applies if the other civ's are restricted access to the part of the map the human civ is on. Like a mountain range or so on.

Note to self, stop reading threads during "I'm off to bed" mode. Only dwarf civ is excluded from this thing, not all but humans.

I still call the Carpenter named Jesus.

If they steal enough of value from you, they WILL send ambush parties. They retreat either when they've suffered a few losses, or their archers use up all their arrows. Assuming they have archers with them, and it's not a copper-spear armed murdersquad who hate your guts.

It looks like all the mod critters are in one huge file. You'd have to hunt down each pokemon and remove them manually.

Although at the moment, the only Pokemon I've seen has been a vermin-sized Pikachu. There's always a load of ghosts in my map though.

Hurm. The error persists, but in a most peculiar manner.

It seems that whenever I save the game on my own, and try to load it later on, it bugs out and crashes the game. But if I load an autosave, it works without a problem.

Uhh, what?

Oh snaps. I might have bumped into one of those "invisible" errors where there won't be any errorlog mention.

Hardly getting through my first Spring before the game suddenly crashes. Do creatures that are broken one way or another crash the game without warning when they spawn on the map?
