Western qaurter of the map has no aquifers, southwest has a single map tile of coast/ocean, and a river.  217 z's of earth with only 5 z's above ground.  Site is Platnum rich, and has coal (didn't look for flux).

Also does anyone have an region with hostile Orcs?

I had 1 military dwarf... he managed to eliminate all threats to my fortress from pesky badgers to Forgoten Beasts... then was quickly Decapitated by a pesky yet dangerous Frost Wyrm (Deon's Genisis Mod).  He gave it the standard pounding then out of the blue... "The Frost Wyrm claws The Militia Commander in the head with her left front claw and the severed part sails off in an arc!"  "Doren Storlutudil Hammer Lord has been struck down"

I am starting to get really weird bugs after a fort survives for 20 years.

First, my food stockpiles failed.  I checked all options nothing was disabled, I saved, restarted, loaded and all was fine.

Second, I had a dog Freeze to death in the kitchen. The Biome is hot, and it happened 2z's underground.

Third, Ambushes now appear to run to the edge of the map after discovery, just as thieves do.

I posted the first on the bug-tracker but was told to reopen if I could recreate.  I doubt I can reliably recreate any of these.

Anyone else experiencing anything else that falls under weird that isn't world gen?

Since Internet Kraken's post got locked, I'm going to dedicate this thread to Townbrush.  It's better than several of the great stories, same setting, just better.

Will be put in sig:

"Nobody wants to live in Townbrush, and for good reason. Almost everyone that has come to Townbrush has been eaten, stabbed, crushed, drowned, hacked, incinerated, or beaten to death with an octopre skin backpack. When we're not under siege, we're being attacked by Forgotten Beasts. And when we're not being attacked by Forgotten Beasts, there's probably a zombie whale crushing someone to death in the dining room."

Internet Kraken, we need a sequel.

I have had this happen multiple times, but this was the first time I watched it happen.  I'm just looking at my newly completed Entrance tower when my fisherdwarf just strolls in.  I check his status, "on break", I think "Ok, this must be his favorite spot". I resume and he appears on the roof of the tower which has no access... Bugs me considerably... now I have to build a staircase for him to come down at his leisure.

Should I leave the stairs or deconstruct?  How often do dwarves teleport to inaccessible locations?  Why does his favorite spot have to be the top of the tower?

Do you know what sucks about having so much power? Only being able to use 1/12th of the power due to no hyperthreading.  I hope that Toady will eventually implement hyperthreading, FPS death would be a thing of the past...

Just a mild rant...

I'm not sure if this normally happens.

I abandoned the fortress so I could explore it in adventure mode. When I arrive it looks like the usual abandon with junk scattered everywhere.  When I go Inside I find several of my dwarves and the liason just still hanging out, and a gem setter strangling a monkey.  The population was 200+ so it looks like the majority left. All of my animals were dead, as it normally is.

Anyhow just surprised to see dwarves just hanging out still...
