Kar Gomath, The Dimension of Legends houses The Tundra of Terrifying.

I don't even know what I'm supposed to think.

My fortress is named Paintstraps. The dwarven civilization that sent them is called Vabok Rungak, The Orb of Skunks.

That whole civilization needs to be banned from naming.

For the record, there is a way to set hotspots, like the gate, that you can automatically zoom to. Unfortunately I've never really figured out how to set them. I just accidentally pull up the list of them and can never remember how to get back to it.

It shouldn't be malicious. myminicity takes unique visitors and uses each visitor to add some type of industry or person to the town. This is typically determined by the link the person clicks*.

From what I've gathered, the idea behind the random pictures is to make it act like a redirect to the person's myminicity page with the respective clicks being divided evenly between the separate links that could potentially be clicked on. As for why myminicity.biz being newly-registered, while LUE has its own site, my guess is whatever goon decided to do this did not so he quickly registered myminicity.biz, set up the subdomain goontown.myminicity.biz, and has it act as a redirect to their true myminicity (goontown.myminicity.com). The little picture is set up to link to goontown.myminicity.biz so each time a unique visitor goes to the dwarf fortress wiki goontown gets a boost.

*Examples of the links. This is for lueland, because I'm a LUEser and not a goon, but it's how every city works.
Population boost:  http://lueland.myminicity.com
Industry:  http://lueland.myminicity.com/ind
Travel:  http://lueland.myminicity.com/tra
Security:  http://lueland.myminicity.com/sec
Environment:  http://lueland.myminicity.com/env
Business:  http://lueland.myminicity.com/com  

Lueland has something similar. Each time you load this waffle Lueland gets a boost.

Yeah, it's nothing malicious. I'm part of LUE, another group that's doing this minicity rush, and one of the admins of our site was doing a similar thing. If it makes you nervous go ahead and remove it. You won't hurt anything.

Figured I'd just BUMP this thread instead of making a new one.

$30 to you, Toady One. It's worth it.

On the "dwarf pathing" thing, what would happen if I gave my dwarves wings and the ability to fly? Would they start using open windows if doors are locked or what?

31 is the absolute max. Starting level is 1. Then 15 up from there and 15 down. You just have to start in a mountain range and not a desert or something.

Seems like teleporting them into the magma river/chasm would be faster, though.

Eh, it doesn't really mean anything. He could make it say "2002-2012" and still be fine.

Seriously? Oh man, I can't wait now. And I'll have all of August to play before I have to start school again. Now, who was it that built the shrine for Toady?

Just something to throw out there for Toady: The next version of Dwarf Fortress would be an amazing Christmas Present. <_<

herrb's tileset ftw. The article could've probably used a small mention of the custom tilesets, though. Other then that, great read.

If I try to do anything involving the comment box on this map: http://mkv25.net/dfma/viewmap.php?view_mapid=511

then I get this error:
Could not find specified item! Please check the mapid (Received: 0).

Halp?
