There's always magma it's just very deep.
The world thaws out after a while, just wait for summer and don't forget to turn temperature on. I played on that save for 2 inagme years before realizing that i had to turn on temperature for the water to thaw.
Got the river part - didn't realize the water could freeze and then snow could cover it. Kinda awesome! I thought I'd care about having magma right away but it turns out I don't even have time to think of it.
I made it to year 2 but I'm starting to lose it. I'm getting 20+ Migrants every season and it's just growing too freakin fast for me. I'm at 74 right now and don't have jobs for more than 15 of them.
Back to questions: Lost my first dwarf along with my 4 war dogs to some Raven Man Corpse. I have a 6-man squad equipped with bronze and iron weapons and they made short work of it once they finally got to my fort's entrance. I felt much safer with 4 wardogs leashed right at the entrance though and now they're gone. So question:
1)Can I capture, tame, and leash-up creatures called "Kangaroo Man"? It's saying animal, I think, in the unit screen. But it's not actually a kangaroo, it's a kangaroo-man. I bought a Giant Dingo from a caravan but he's alone and if 4 wardogs could not kill one undead raven, I doubt the dingo can.
2)Any tips on how to position the restraints to ensure more than 1 wardog will fight if they are attacked? I believe they can only move 1 square from the leash, so the raven came from the side and just fought the dogs 1 at a time. I had them placed like this:
XXXX <-R
X=leash with a dog
R=Raven
I'll try a square next I guess. Or can I use z-levels somehow?
3)can I just use a "zone" / pasture and put my wardogs in it permanently? will they move and fight and help each other if I do that?
