odd starting point.
« on: May 11, 2012, 11:07:37 pm »
so i've been learning the ropes of fotress, and despite that i can run a self sustaining fort I still struggle with flooding it, with various liquids, but i've found this odd place.

http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=6286

I started there and didn't know what to do. Ice was falling into lava and everything was made of slade. Is this a glitch or did I come upon something natrual? thanks.

It sounds like you have a bugged embark. Try genning a new world and see if that fixes the problem.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

it's the only embark that does it. on the file I included it has 3 other (failed/drowend) embarks that worked fine. the one embark is the problem.
