Make it so they can't be cooked or brewed, either. Farming is much more interesting to watch and manage when you don't have any miracle crops.

Armageddon. Your world is being purified by fire.

The only real issue with that is if you let more than one layer of water or magma build up. Then you'll get a zillion cavein pauses until you steam away the excess.

A great way to slake bloodlust is to add the orc mod with four copies of the [ENTITY]: one for each season. After a year or two, you'll be under siege pretty much continuously (unless the some of the orcs wipe each other out, which tends to happen with that many orcs).

More like they don't care because nobody cares about caravans. You have to kill diplomats to piss them off.

You can channel out the area and build stairs in place, but that would require some planning, as you'd have to have the entire shaft open at one point to illuminate all the tiles.

Why would a vast majority like something bad? (Stupid majority not counted.)
Yeah, because nobody likes Britney Spears, Windows or American cars.

Oh, wait, you're somehow trying to separate the stupid people from the majority. Good luck finding meaningful data on THAT one.

Everyone's favorite WoW rumor is that Blizzard is going to add Pandaren Brewmasters from Warcraft III.

Aye, you're better off just letting them spar forever. Plus, you actually don't want raw recruits with high stats, they're more likely to kill people when sparring.

So, they're crappy games because you don't like them and they lack a specific feature that only one or two games have ever done well? I'm pretty sure that's not how it works. The Secret of Monkey Island is a good game, but I hate point-and-click adventure games. I find them tedious and frustrating. That doesn't make it crap.

If you want to play skirmish vs. bots, get a game that has bots.
If you don't want story, don't buy a game built around its story.
If you hate a series, don't buy the sequels.

Playing games you enjoy isn't hard, and it doesn't require ranting at fans of games you don't enjoy. The internet doesn't need any more video game evangelists.

a glass floodgate will work? wasnt that rumor?
The floodgate will be fine. However, when you open it, the mechanism will melt, which will deconstruct the floodgate.

You've got plenty of options left, actually. You can pump magma with a wooden screw pump so long as you keep the stuff away from the walkable (rear) tile. Also, glass furniture is magma-safe.

Yeah. Macs have issues with copying folders over one another. Namely that they erase the old contents rather than just overwriting individual files. User friendly, indeed.

They were split because the combined page was hard to organize, and because Reactions summarizes the whole process nicely.

I usually hollow out my entire region anyway, so this would simply be a matter of channeling around the map edge and letting the cave-in do the rest. Totally doing it.
